Tuber Mirum 120 Posted July 6, 2005 I see it is an electronic vote, so I predict George W. Bush will win with a 130% share of the vote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,398 Posted July 6, 2005 I see it is an electronic vote, so I predict George W. Bush will win with a 130% share of the vote. He'll have to work on that. In the former Soviet Union candidates won elections by 99.7% of the vote. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typhoid Harry 23 Posted July 6, 2005 Crimony, remind me not to be anywhere near the Isles during that time. That is going to be one big mess. But better there than Paris. They really need to stage the Olympics out in the middle of nowhere to keep traffic down. Oh, and with the advent of beach volleyball in the Olympics (where are they going to find a beach in London?) I really want to endorse a return to the Greek tradition of naked competitors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Earl Gloomy 7 Posted July 6, 2005 Was it really that much of a suprise? For goodness sake our presentation was leagues ahead of Frances' and the video presention was excellent. I doubt that chirac think those ill manered comments were going to help the French bid, odious unsophisticated man; he is full of bile. Still bitter and twisted i should expect from the EU meeting.

Windsor 2,158 Posted July 6, 2005 Having the Olympic games overshadow her Diamond Jubilee celebration may leave the Queen thinking 'whats the use' on continuing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Earl Gloomy 7 Posted July 6, 2005 oh i hadn't even thought of that The Olympics would fall during the month after her 60th aniversary. Bloody hell 60 years! She is going to pass Victoria! I wounder if the celebrations would be mingled? If not it's going to be one big celebratory summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,158 Posted July 6, 2005 The Queen's not very lucky with these things - she had the world cup to deal with over the Golden Jubilee - and the Commonwealth Games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 84 Posted July 6, 2005 I'm just glad you guys got it since over here in the real world (The U.S.A.) we will be having our Republican and Democratic conventions that summer and both parties will be sending Jeb Bush (George's cute young brother) to the voting roster as their candidate of choice. The Republicans plan on trotting out Zel Miller as his V.P. running mate, while the Democrats will be happy just to find their way to the convention.
