Insey, more people might bother to open your link and respond if you gave some hint about the nature of the topic under discussion. Personally I never open such links unless the topic is revealed and looks interesting. Ooooops is does not really provide enough incentive to look further.

I've not opened it but my money is on it being about Goggsy B forgetting about his microphone and, whilst walking away from the the women he'd just finished trying to convince to vote for him, calling her a bigot.

If it is, then this is the sort of small gem that makes election time worthwhile. A stroke of genius by the Brooner, if only he had a sense of perspective ;) this might have almost won my vote.

If it's not about this then I agree a hint would have been nice, I have quite enjoyed guessing though. Is there a prize if I'm right?

For me, the most revealing thing about this is what else he said as he was being driven away:

"Who put me with that woman?"
"It was Sue, I think."

:confused:

And there I was, naively thinking that 'chance encounters' on walkabouts happened by chance............ :o
