UK General Election Competition
#26
Well, as you insist... I think that there might still be a surprise and it will be called earlier than expected.Are you not having a guess Mr T ?
No one has a guess in the 1,350,000s so I will go bang in the middle and say 1,355,000,000. But what do I know? I'm only one of the cleaners at No. 10 after all. I must have a good poke around in the wastebaskets tonight.

See if you can find any info' on the comming tax rises, especially the price of bread, my toaster's getting a bit concerned and is thinking of voting Conservative. This of course would make it about the only Conservative voter in Scotland.I'm only one of the cleaners at No. 10 after all. I must have a good poke around in the wastebaskets tonight.

Yes, there will be a bread tax. There will be three fewer slices in each loaf after the election, the so-called budget loaf. If you come from a upper crust background then the tax will be rolled out a year later. Toasters will be banned, unless wind-powered. And cheese on toast will be classed as a perversion and anyone eating it will be deemed to have volunteered to serve in Afghanistan.See if you can find any info' on the comming tax rises, especially the price of bread, my toaster's getting a bit concerned and is thinking of voting Conservative.

Well it looks as if I think that the election will be called in the wee small hours of Saturday morning, which is unlikely, unless Broon takes an accidental overdose of anti-dither pills having become confused when trying to reduce the public finance deficit at a cabinet cider binge-drinking competition.
So I'll revise my guess to
1,380,800,000

Beware of the improvised explosive anchovy found only in Herat.the anchovies are fighting back
Following which cabinet members hang around Whitehall corners selling themselves to passers-by just like a cab for hire.... cabinet cider binge-drinking competition
Which MP would you choose to hire, and for what?

I think that might form the basis for a totally separate comp!Which MP would you choose to hire, and for what?
Or it might well work as a reality tv prog whereby the many unemployed/unemployable former parliamentarians who shall soon be littering these Isles abase themselves for beer money to satisfy the whim of a vengeful public.
Anyhoo my entry to this undeclared comp is : Geof Hoon - I mean, what an utter worthless tosser, screws up two wars and, smug as ever. now expects to clean up! Well, I'll let him clean up! Specifically my cars, alloys and wheel arches too, using only his lying self-serving tongue, all at minimum wage rates. After that he will clean out my roof gutters equiped with only his nostrils.

I'll be away in London until Saturday folks, although I'll try to log in and have a look if time permits.
Anyway, now seems an appropriate time to remind everyone of the following rule:
Revise your entry as often as you want BUT NOTE: all entries/revisions made in the two days before the announcement are null and void.
Also, if there are any lurking noobs out there, please submit an entry. The competition was meant to lure you in. It isn't just for all the pensioners that have entered so far.

Whay Hay! A pension!It isn't just for all the pensioners that have entered so far.
If only boinc produced one. Dream on.
Imagine if it's all been organised by some eccentric billionaire who will some day soon unveil himself and reward every boincer to the tune of, say, 1 US cent per credit. That would be $2.1 Billion (which by my researches at least 700 people on this planet could afford) to be shared out btwn just under 2 million Boincers. For me this would be worth $680K which would keep me in spares for years to come!
Of course it's more likely that Mr T's remarks, far from giving us hope for financial reward, just constitute a thoughtless ageist slur against the TSBT faithful!

More likely a Government project, getting us all to work out the current national debt. Or perhaps the M.P's expenses bill for next year, now that they've all been driven "underground".Imagine if it's all been organised by some eccentric billionaire who will some day soon unveil himself and reward every boincer
If I was 20 years younger I'd...............................It isn't just for all the pensioners that have entered so far.
Reminds me of a statement I heard last year about the new T.V reality show they were thinking about, for those with Dimentia called "Where do you think you are ?".

Broon will (unless he bottles it again!) name the day on Tuesday morning which means that entries will effectively, and fiendishly enough retrospectively, close on Sunday morning. So as I'm away the weekend I'll take this chance to revise my entry to

If & as you can see it's a big if he doesn't bottle it Broon should be off to see Auld Betty in the morning so she can start the countdown for the election.
The outcome for him is pretty uncertain (humiliation or total humiliation ) but it looks like a pretty sure victory for storme - unless GB procrastinates until the evening or possibly confines himself to small talk about the health of the corgies and hopes that, out of pity, AB declares him PM for life!

So... What constitutes 'announces'? Given that it was reported last night, does that mean it's announced or we're waiting until "Auld Betty" approves it? Not that I have a chance any way...GENERAL ELECTION COMPETITION
What will the TSBT combined total be when the prime minister announces the next UK general election?

Congratulations Storme - I think you can probably say "you were there when that man you couldn't name begged the Queen's pardon or something." ... or, more likely, you weren't... 8)
