    I find a flamethrower does the job well.

    Or, perhaps you could engage in a constructive conversation with them. Just a thought.

    Why ruin the fun of challenging them on why they still support FF?

    theres a facebook suggestion from bock the robber to ask awkward questions about what their policies are - while videoing them

    tell them your doing this and that you're going to put up the results on youtube

    I find polite fúck off followed by a quickly slammed door does wonders.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,919 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    Remind them that:
    1) Your party has a convicted drink driver elected to Dail Eireann who had the worst attendance record last year.
    2) Your party had an elected representative who libelled a fellow public representative.

    among many other instances of dodgy behaviour whil in public office.

    Then politely tell them to go f*ck themselves

    Do a spell check before printing.

    I have, indeed I have and yet I remain at the same conclusion.

    Don't argue with fools - they'll drag you down to their own level and beat you with experience. I find a polite notice asking whoever you don't want to talk to to leave you in peace works well. No one bothered me in last election campaign when I asked not to be disturbed and requested no canvassing material be left in letterbox.

    My printer is broken,so I'll have to rely on a good solid shoe into the nutpurse:mad:

    I'd prefer the more direct approach, but I'd settle for a more interesting cautionary sign.

    If you could rig up something that plays the Deliverance music, alongside this sign, it should keep them away. Unless they're into that sort of thing.

    I find, "sorry, I'm not interested" generally gets them to leave.

    Only thing that poster says to me is Hello, I can't spell and have absolutely no future in graphic design.;)

    I find a Rottweiler and a bucket of piss does the trick normally.

    I can't open it, now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 874 ✭✭✭Ali Babba


    Supersoaker ftw (and it won't just contain water either.......)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    Something tells me they won't be darkening too many peoples doorsteps this election-time anyway.

    Last general election:

    Aul wan: "Blah blah blah who are you voting for?"
    Me: "I don't vote." (I do, I just wanted to see her reaction.)
    AW: (looks like I just kicked her baby): "Well you should."
    Me: "Wow. You've swayed me. I'll vote for whoever you want."

    Canvassing is part of the problem. If your vote is based on someone calling to your door for a cup of tea (your tea, by the way), and not based on: [what policies are best for the country + who will best implement them], then don't vote.

    I'd love to bring a politician in to my house, record it, then get them to agree with something really bigoted just to have a tape of them being a vote prostitute. Hmmm....

    Can I change the name or do I have to pretend to be Biggins?

    If people really hated FF, Why dont you invite them in, make them tea, talk to them for 15-20 mins


    Thats 20 mins less time where they could be persuading someone else to vote FF.


    Think about it.

    Think about it.

    If we wanted to achieve nothing more than waste our own time and theirs we could just become FG politicians.

    Or stand at the door saying " The voices in my head telling me to kill, hit people with a shovel, I am trying to fight them"

    I wouldn't invite the devil in.
    Why would I want to invite in his offspring? :confused:
    Late budget battle on cuts in top level pay and perks
    05 December 2010 By Niamh Connolly and Pat Leahy

    Several cabinet ministers are resisting a proposed cut of up to €30,000 in their salaries, as the government seeks to finalise Tuesday’s €6 billion austerity budget.
