No, my photo in the top corner isn't Gandhi

Last week, I tried to apply for Vote for me
which is Itv's new reality tv
If I'd won I would be
Britain's laziest MP.

Alas the deadline had just gone, which was a bit of a gutter. I'd started to get excited about the opportunity to rant at a big audience, and re-discover just how out of touch my opinions are with a majority of people. While at college, I ran unopposed for a position at a radio station. Halfway through fielding questions though, someone (a very pretty someone) got up and declared they weren't planning to stand yet I was so incompetent, they felt compelled to run against me. I only received 3 votes. My policies: liberalising the swearing policy since we were an online station, and not mandating dj's to advocate sponsors. Very unpopular. ITV might have had similar misgivings.

Also, if you follow the link to vote for me, you can see Malcolm McLaren's proposal for a 'Plop Idol' (my name)
He says, "Pop Idol is people worship, and the alternative is to knock the idol off the altar: that is what the Sex Pistols did, and I would like to be the catalyst for it to happen again." He also tells the Sunday Herald, "You have to choose the worst, not the best. One lesson is making the worthless valuable, then in making ugliness beautiful."

Anyone playing a McLaren drinking game (not as in McLaren cars) will note that it took him 21 words before he mentioned the Sex Pistols.

My dad once ran over my foot in his car. He ran over the rest of me with his truck

A truck? It looks more like an aeroplane landed on your face, ugly.
Sorry, that doesn't even make much sense. My office is having an insult-for-charity day, cunt. What other good charity days should offices have?
Limbs for lepers, everyone gives an arm.

p.s. I'm going to try and put a link to your blog on mine. I'm not sure how though.

would 'buy a pint for a struggling rcovering alcoholic' be a step in the wrong direction. 'Cosmic Relief', taking the strain off of the sun and its perpetual battle in orbit with moon

Iain, to make a list of links you have to go into blogger and find the template section.

You will be confronted with a window full of HTML.

Scroll down til you find the section dealing with sidebar content (i.e. the bit that prints your archives list etc.), and paste this (you also will have to change all the square brackets to < and > - I had to put it in this format or the comments box assumes I'm trying to write in HTML)

[h2]Links[/h2]

[li][a href="BETWEEN THESE QUOTATION MARKS PRINT THE LINK"] IN THIS SECTION PRINT WHAT YOU WANT THE LINK TO BE CALLED[/a][/li]


Don't save any changes to your template til you've previewed them first.

Cheers Eddy, for that, I will also enclose a link to iconoclastic nihilism for your troubles. Expect to see them up tomorrow- I think work will cotton on to my low productivity if I keep going today.

They haven't cottoned on to your low productivity already?

Anyway, I'd rather you linked to OmCoC - I rarely update iconoclastic nihilism anymore. It stands as a testament to youth.
