Manifesto

[stuey]

I have never in all the years that I have been on AB heard this word tossed and bounced around so much on here. Is it a new trendy word over there?

[jno]

we only have personifestos here, which is a sort of extended pesto and goes nicely with pasta..

[stuey]

Jno, I have heard that marina sauce is quite splendid with fish dishes: it has a slightly salty after-taste associated with it.

[jno]

I think salt is only acceptable with caramel these days, at least for the middle classes. Without caramel it is a silent killer.

[stuey]

I really cannot comprehend that the middle class could possibly afford to own a camel, let alone have the monies to afford the salt-licks for the creatures...Hey, aren't we going off on tangents here?

[jno]

a creme camel is nice after a seven-course banquet, though you have to make sure to remove the hooves properly.

[stuey]

Just don't, in polite company anyway, dare to mention their toes.

[tonyav]

Right, who mentioned those !.

[stuey]

Not me, Gov; but that there jno came a might close.

[tonyav]

Anyway is the word manifesto never spoken of out there in the colonies, stuey ?.

[stuey]

It doesn't seem to be used that much; however, it's surely snapping, crackling, and popping over there especially in the New section of AB...No big deal: just thought I'd comment upon it.

"News"

[tonyav]

Well stuey it's almost general election time, the time when the political parties put together a list of things that their particular party are going to do ( usually a load of bull crap ) for us the general population and how their party is best suited to run the UK. You must have something similar over there, stuey.

[stuey]

Yeah, it's sort of like choosing between a crocodile, an alligator, and a piranha fish: all three really don't bode that well do they?

[tonyav]

Yes stuey, very similar.

[stuey]

They're all out to satisfy themselves at your unfortunate expense...Anyway, I'm off in search of wobbly-pops: cheers.

[tonyav]

They sure are, stuey. Enjoy your pint ( or whatever it is in fluid ounces ).

[Old_Geezer]

It's election time. Why wouldn't relevant items be discussed by those who think a political manifesto can be trusted ?
