It's 1923!

It's 1923! Dammit, I'm bobbing my hair, learning the Charleston, and nipping out to buy that oh oh oh so modern poem by Tommy Stearns.

Or should I be pulling on my flares and sticking Suzi Quatro on the eight track?

If the Lib Dems had had a 1923 result I'd be feeling a lot more cheery than I am!

But surely anxious about their collapse since 1906?

[azalaisdep.livejournal.com]

Well, I meant in the 2010 context :-( Sorry, I realise I'm not playing properly.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Aw, don't worry.

[azalaisdep.livejournal.com]

Too sleep-deprived and fed up with my local result...

[lame-pegasus.livejournal.com]

So I deem you were old enough to vote after all (older than 28 anyway)?

*is highly amused*

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Just about. I'm still agitating for my university to give me my degree, however.

[ideealisme.livejournal.com]

wha? That's farking ridiculous.

It took until 1948 before women were granted full membership of CU.

I was amazed to learn that it took until 1956
for momen and men take their examinations in the same room. Did they expect an orgy to break out if they shared the same room?

BTW, if you do learn how to dance the Charleston, be sure to post a video. :)

I imagine they thought it would affect the concentration of the young male students, poor erratic dears!

LOL! In my imagination, it's like this - in reality, I doubt it!

Not quite 1923- I think the Tories were the incumbent government in that election, so the swing away from them was a reflection on their performance in that administration. This time the swing is still away from the incumbent administration but that's the second party in the election...

Also we have not just had a world war, and Ireland has not recently become a Free State.

[lonemagpie.livejournal.com]

Well, the world war is kind of debatable...

[thanatos-kalos.livejournal.com]

Don't blame me, I voted Servalan.

When are the local election results expected?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

The count here starts at 1pm. Should be about 5pm?

First result in: Green Party win Abbey.

Don't worry dear, I'm sure a nice man in a blue box with a flashing light will make it all better soon.

Vampires! Venice!

I recommend some rather fetching antennae (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yKAxZm9Y_wg/S470hY_XQ4I/AAAAAAAAFpI/nJHwAjPIuRg/s400/bo2.jpg).

Favourite. Picture. Ever.

It is always nice to have a fallback position.

Or Germany could declare war on you, and then you'd stand all united against us.

Oh, wait. That's already going to happen -- football world cup next month!

football world cup next month!

That'll keep the nation busy while the politicians wheel and deal!

Hang on, I've got a new-fangled wind-up gramophone thingy here. I just need some new needles. What - no Suzi Quatro on 78's? :-0

[kendokamel.livejournal.com]

The Charleston is quite easy to learn and incredibly fun to dance. I vote for that!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

The flares aren't winning!

[tyellas.livejournal.com]

You can join me in my Charleston lessons starting in June! It'll be swell!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

[raspberryfool.livejournal.com]

OTOH, Altariel in flares - I'd vote for that :-)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Not as good as Venus in furs.

If you come over to visit, I'll take you to a speakeasy. Best bathtub gin in town!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Awesome!
