    No, no! More elections! We as a people deserve what we get - good and hard...

    Statistically speaking, any election goes to the tallest person, who has hair.

    I have to say I'm interested in the elections, it's interesting how the whole process has changed just because of the tv debates.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    well that was a brilliant book ruined by hollywood.

    But surely the sight of Eric's naked banana made up for that...

    Yes but its tv, radio, leaflets through your door, leaflets handed to you, people knocking on your door, newspaper articles, posters on the bus and plaques in people windows/gardens! If anything think of the costs and waste involved in doing most/all of these things. Totally crazy!

    Oh and look to the right on here... Yes you guessed it more election stuff :mad:

    Ames, I loved the TTW. I watched it in the cinema and had to go a buy the book to read after. The book is hard work trying to keep up with all the time changes etc. The film did a fab job in my opinion :T

    I thought the film was okay (or fillum as we say up here) but not as good as the book. The book had more of the essence of how lonely his wife was waiting for him and could get more continuity in, like how he knew he was going to get trapped in the security cage at work.

    IMO

    I'd like something good and hard, but not an election. Tall with hair, does that mean we're getting Peter Crouch!
