The long hot summer the weather pundits promised us over here in the UK, has been and gone, all two weeks of it.
The rains are back, the clouds are grey, things are back to normal, and folks are wearing their macks again and clutching umbrellas.
(That’s weather- wear and parasols to you Yanks)
At least we had the European elections.
Elections can be fun before you all start groaning, yes they can.
I encountered the glories of the ‘Roman Party' headed by a certain ‘Jean-Louis Pascual’
‘The Roman Party. Ave!”
Has a certain ring to it, don’t it but that’s all you get, no posters, no leaflets, so I went hunting on the Web.
His web page is a masterpiece of non – information; here it is
Position: Bus Driver
Interesting Fact: Jean Louis was born in France.
His manifesto suggests that
“…we should consider moving British jail to other Eastern European countries to run at less costs for the British tax payers we could seek permission of Vladimir Putin President of Russia. the reason for this is most British jails are run like hotels and sanctuaries.”
I wonder if Mr Putin would be interested in the idea? I rather like it myself.
Some quotes from his fans on the Web
Q: “What did the Romans do for us anyway?
A: Aqueducts and Months of the Year
Q: Does anyone know anything about Jean Lous Pascual?
A: “He is a bus driver from Reading who puts himself forward for elections and gets about 20 votes. “
A: “He likes strutting his stuff in a little leather tunic or maybe a toga turns him on?”
I look forward to the day when Jean Louis becomes President of France. I’m sure he will be a howling success.
And he writes his manifesto in crayon.
Yep.

Hey Red - just thought I'd share this with you... Be sure to read this - it's from my more active political blog (Waking Hereward). It is scarcely believable - but it is absolutely true....

Then if you want to, you can watch 'Who Do you Think You are' tonight and see my old 87 year old Mum on it. (She is living in Sheffield at the mo')
Hope you are well.

Alfie the OK.
Hallo Alfie
Yes I'm fine, thank you - and I did watch the programme; it was hard to believe
I think everyone in the programme felt the same!
I'n voting for Bacchanalian orgies -it seems like a Roman kind of thing
Bacchanalia seem a good idea, only don't invite any politians to them as they're notoriously unattractive, with the exception of Arnie. Why vote amateur actors into office, much better to stick with the genuine article, A-movie quality too, is wot I say.
Btw in Germany we have a beaut too, electionwise: www.horstschlaemmer.tv/
Thinking of elections makes me think of da Kraken, wonder why that is? Oh did you think the Kraken was gone for good? It has been lurkin beneath the surface - All The Time!
Oh look 'ere.... the Roman Party don't have orgies, at least it's not in the manifesto
And as for Krakens.....Grrrrrr
Someone mention Krakens?
