Should the Board have a Mayor?

[Devons Daddy]

every election has or should have a token independent candidate who has no chance of winning.

when i was last looking at the UK for politics the conservative party tried that.but JOHN MAJOR actaully got elected,

surely the idea was at the time, to let someone else win,they take the blame for the state of the country and then step back up again four years later.

STEEV you interested in being mayor?

[TheEdge]

Oh this is good.........but





 our elected official should be a JUDGE and not a Mayor.

[Tweak72]

TROUT IS OUR KING!

DD for Mayor!

[The Monarch]

If we need a Mayor, it has to be Dave. End of.

Aw thanks for the thumbs u...oh you mean the bloody monkey do you?

...in your best Mayor Quimby voice...

One score and twelve years ago, a band of cold, hungry, dispossessed creators massaged that magnificent organ we all know and love into uncertain life. Their path was a hard one, beset on all sides by wars, sharks, footballers, love-lorn teenage girls, menacing children with smiling black dogs, superhumans in unlikely costumes and pornography. Yet they did not weaken nor turn aside from their purpose and, despite the daunting odds ranged against them, thrilled us week after week, month after month, year after year and decade after decade. Salute those brave Founding Fathers, my friends, salute their words and their pictures and their creations. Salute them, I say, for this world is in need not only of heroes and thrills-a-plenty but also in need of ideas, entertainment and, above all, hope for a thrill-packed future. Selfelessly, they did labour into the wee smalls of countless long, dark, lonely nights to bring us our weekly fare. Some bled for us, lied for us, stole for us, plagarised and even died for us. So yes, salute them, I say. Salute them all.

We shall defend our Progs, whatever the cost may be, we shall read them on the beaches, we shall read them on the landing grounds, we shall read them in the fields and in the streets, we shall read them in the hills; we shall never unsubscribe. Never, in the field of human creativity, have so many been thrilled by so few.

Yet in modern times the existence of British comics is in jeopardy as never before and this message board is all that stands between the dark, fathomless depths of a world without 2000AD and the bright, sunlit uplands of a Betelgeusian-inspired future. We few, we raddled few, we band of blatherers made weak by time and fate but strong in will do avow to seek, to strive, to find and to read all the progs we can and not, my friends, to yield. Here, in this place, we choose to draw a line against the night, to say subscriber numbers have fallen enough and to stand firm, to say "this low, and no lower," to champion our organ and to lead it, gleaming and magnificent, into the golden light of popular culture once more.

I can offer you nothing but blood, sweat and tears in this task we have ahead of us but, despite the depravations, humiliations and hard work that we must endure to secure the future of our comic and our board, I have no fears. Can we do this? Drokking right, we can. We can and we must.

And so, my friends, ask not what your board can do for you, ask what you can do for your board.

Vote TLS, you know it makes no sense whatsoever.

I suck. No one should vote for me.

My Right Honourable friend appears to be confusing his own campaign message with that of a far superior candidate. I would draw member's attention to the comments Mr Godpleton made not sixty weeks ago in The Other Place, the bare-faced lies of his so-called "Intelligence Dossier" which insisted that the Bunty Forum had Romances of Mass Destruction which could be employed to attack this board in under 45 minutes.

For shame.

No. No beetroot. Beetroot are evil. They're evil, do you hear me? E V I L



Vote TLS for a future free of evil root crops.

[Roger Godpleton]

Vote for me.

[The Legendary Shark]

Vote for me.

No, don't vote for him, vote for me. I'm better value for your money because I'll never sell you short by just using one single, solitary word when twenty five words can be shoehorned in instead.


Vote TLS for a future of extreme and completely unnecessary verbosity of truly Biblical proportions.

[TordelBack]

Vote TLS for a future of extreme and completely unnecessary verbosity of truly Biblical proportions.

That's a well-trodden platform around these parts.

[Roger Godpleton]

Vote for me and I'll occasionally dress sexy.

[I, Cosh]

Vote TLS for a future of extreme and completely unnecessary verbosity of truly Biblical proportions.

There'll be nothing biblical about ThrillSeeker's reign of pagan terror and anyone who says otherwise will be joining the queue to spill their crimson life's blood in the roots of the Sacred Grove.

Roger Godpleton is my muse.
