Do you support the current plan for PHS / St Johns ?

Post by Dadaist » 20 Mar 2006, 15:07

From the EN a few days ago:

No Vote on Secondary

I would have added a 'Don't Know' option personally.

Oops, sorry Dada. I now realise that I accidentally edited your original post when I thought I was adding a message of my own. I was in edit mode to change the thread to a sticky. :oops:

And there was me thinking I had found some kind of warp in the space-time continuum.

Much more scary is the thought that in a parallel dimension there is a world that is exactly the same as this one, except Dadaist and Bob Jefferson are the same person.

Who demanded a vote from this site except me? Does this mean I made the papers?

I thought about the "don't know" vote actually - but then remembered that seanie had said people could be reserving judgement. You could also argue that you shouldn't have to register indifference - rather - just don't vote.

I don't know if it would have made it clearer. People who are reserving judgement could also be wanting to make their views known and are voting "no" because it's not "yes".

No probs with you editing my posts though.

Don't worry. It's a secret ballot. Just make sure all your family members vote Mr McIntyre!
My family are divided on the issue. The ones living in the back garden with no allowance to spend, are against. :wink:

You have to wait for the punchline though.

not bad :D :D :D

You have given me an idea. You know those memorial benches we have on the high street? How about we have a couple of sturdy fences constructed outside the Bank Of Scotland? Maureen and Lawrence could sit there when conducting their surgeries.Hey presto! Everyone would immediately be aware of exactly where they sit.

...what - under the shadow of big business?

:wink:

Hopefully things will be more clear in terms of their position after Wednesday. I know Bob is anxious for them to "come out".


edit -> put in SM's quote as it was on page 1.
