Tick! Or do I mean X? smile

Bogoff Thu 07-May-15 20:53:04

I just tell all of them I will vote for them, gets rid of them quicker.

Iam64 Thu 07-May-15 21:02:57

Yep, Soutra and Ana spotted it, as usual grin

Soutra Thu 07-May-15 21:15:52

Not taking the credit for this blush -a better brain than mine gave me the heads-up.

Ana Thu 07-May-15 21:19:25

Oh, come on - the Tiptree reference was a dead giveaway! grin

GrannyTwice Thu 07-May-15 21:23:25

Oh no -there were much more obvious giveaways from the off

Bogoff Thu 07-May-15 21:29:19

Fact, Pompa is gone. Bogoff will try to be more sensitive etc than he was. I have been dropping a few hints, I guessed the Tiptree connection had to be enough.

Ana Thu 07-May-15 21:30:41

Of course there were, GrannyTwice!

The Tiptree reference did seem to be a quite blatant clue though.

Ana Thu 07-May-15 21:32:05

Well, you're very welcome as far as I'm concerned, Bogoff.
There is no law against returning under a different name, after all...wink

merlotgran Thu 07-May-15 21:37:09

I have to say with a huge grin that out of all the 'returns' Pompa Bogoff's has been the most obvious right from the start.

You should make a spoof movie about an undercover cop. grin

GrannyTwice Thu 07-May-15 21:42:47

Not so much hints as great big flashing illuminated signs. I'd like to think you meant it about being more sensitive .... Time will tell.

GrannyTwice Thu 07-May-15 21:44:56

But next time you feel a sexist joke coming on about an able bright intelligent woman politician that also makes fun of violence towards women perhaps you could go and post it somewhere more appropriate - or not at all?

GrannyTwice Thu 07-May-15 21:45:49

Try Mumsnet - they'll really sort you out.

Ana Thu 07-May-15 21:48:21

Oh, give it a rest GT.

ninathenana Thu 07-May-15 21:55:25

Oh, I didn't know pompa had stormed off !

Anne58 Thu 07-May-15 21:58:19

What? Where? How?

I seem to be a bit behind here? (Well if you're talking body shapes, more than a bit behind, in fact I seem to have become all bottom and tummy)

But can someone please enlighten me as to who is who etc?

ninathenana Thu 07-May-15 21:58:46

grin grin

Anne58 Thu 07-May-15 21:59:11

PS And also why.

Thanks.

Bogoff Thu 07-May-15 22:13:33

Pheonix, PM'd you.

Elegran Thu 07-May-15 22:14:08

The horse is dead, G2. Continuing to flog it is overkill, and particularly overkill to go into Soop's Kitchen to flog it. That is sanctuary.

Ana Thu 07-May-15 22:19:19

Absolutely right, Elegran.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 07-May-15 22:29:04

Oh for God's sake!!! Watch the bloody exit polls. Much more interesting.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 07-May-15 22:34:28

(lovely new name btw - not. Real asset to the forums. hmm)

Elegran Thu 07-May-15 22:35:39

I'm off to bed. Staying up all night won't alter the result, we'll know soon enough. Night all. moon

Katek Thu 07-May-15 23:23:06

Just back from closing the village hall. We had 53.4% turnout, way down on referendum and few % less than last general election. Don't think it will affect the outcome though. Eck the fish is standing in neighbouring constituency, wonder what will happen there.

TwiceAsNice Thu 07-May-15 23:37:37

Voted by post ages ago. DD2 asked me if I was watching the election and told her Id forgotten it was today ( had horrendous day in work, home late, only interested in sitting down on the sofa with my tea!) DD will be up for hours lapping it up. I do think it's important to vote though women made many sacrifices so we could.
