Thanks RB, I was thinking more about the famous socialist promising free speech, elections etc then getting into power, discovering they like it a little too much and then spend the next 60 years clinging on to it and backtracking on everything he had said previously. But I can see how your one works.
I guess to some extent we must be programmed to do so, so I understand your Mulderesque / Skullyesque search for the smoking gun, the shredded piece of Sotoniansâ notepaper, the DNA test that proves exactly what I did or didnât do to your mum all those years ago, but in this instance youâre better off looking for cockup and not conspiracy, son.
Truth is, since papâs rejigging of the ownership / steering of Sotonians, the âownersâ havenât actually managed to meet.
Sad state of affairs, but true.
Some of us donât go to home games because weâre closet Pompey fans, some of us arrange meet ups on our daughters birthday, some of us live oop North and RaleighBoy only drinks hot chocolate.
So as soon as I can convince this motley crew to come and see some random lefty folky singer or other,Iâm sure weâll ratify the result of the Soviet election.
I remember making you a pledge that if you won a seat on the Soviet and it wasnât honoured, then I would resign.
That still stands.
So just a little (more) patience is required. Weâll get there.
Thanks dad, as I said I am not fussed as the wind-up option is also favourable. I was just highlighting 2 things 1) In spite of not being able to meet up, there now seems to me a mod moderating the free speech that this forum was âbuilt onâ. Changes in the constitution should be a Soviet thing no? I guess not as I have been informed it is a management issue. Guess the Soviet are lower than the management and not one in the same? 2) By highlighting this I was not asking to be a mod as was inferred by the management. This was just another diversion by the manager.
Say what you want about Castroâs Cuba, but if I wanted someone to handcraft a new wing for a 1958 Mustang using nothing more than an old sink unit, that would be my first port of call.
