Probably not: the parties like you to stand and lose once or twice before they give you a better seat.
Very happy to see the Tories rout Labor and especially pleased that the Lib-Dems have gone the way of the DoDo. Sadly, my friend lost his seat. I'm sure he'll be fine with his gold-plated pension of his full salary for life (if you win 2 elections you get your full salary, win only one and you get half, I have been told).

The real question, IMO is if DD will come here and start pissing and moaning about his loss; or go to the pub, get pissed and make inexplicable drunkposts on the lounge.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Bad joke of the day
A charity pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics and Homosexuals
descended into chaos yesterday when somebody shouted 'He's behind you!'
I'll get my coat.
Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.
In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you. – Buddha

It sucks as a joke but I'd use it as a comparison with situations.
I sometimes refer to poorly managed things as "lead by a deaf who brings the orders of the mute that tells what the blind saw". I'll get my coat too.

A deaf and a blind are playing a concert...
The blind to the deaf: "Are they dancing already?"
The deaf to the blind: "Why? Are we playing already?"
I#ll get my coat
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

How does the deaf hear what the blind says to him when he can't hear the music?
I ain't got no signature.

It's a joke, so no need to be reasonable, by the way the blind may talk in deaf-hand-wave-language (dunno the correct name).
But it's like clowny jokes, i mean how can it be the clownfish is not funny at all?
(Because he tries to be reasonable and explains everything)
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}
