Again, it begins...

Oh yeah. Rereading it I can see how you misunderstood it. I meant, if he ran for welfare, I could see him winning it, based on, the very important mugshot. That is all.

has a candidate ever been tossed out of the SU elections before? i'm thinking that if Gambino wasn't, then no-one ever was!

maybe aodh-rua would know the answer?

Gambino got 2 strikes to the best of my knowledge, but he backed off to be shy of the final third.

Can't do campaign talk here

Listen out for those who have constructive ideas. Concrete and very workable statements such as what they will do in the future, not vague promises of "more involvement". Listen out for specifics - which demonstrates they have prior knowledge and have researched the faculty's needs

There is a big nursing block though considering that once you are mobilised for anything (including voting) you turn out in force.

Thanks for the tip

Oh and about the block, yeah there's a lot of us... so the candidates who didnt come speak to us.. well its their loss! I've made up my mind for 2moro :cool:

Unfort. the internet stream doesn't seem to be working for me... :-(

I'm finding this weeks shows far more interesting and much less annoying that last times. Was listening to some guy sing some funny songs about Bob Dylan impersonators killing parties and then the same guy talking about Sinn Fein and the IRA. He also had a funny guy on talking about the teenage mutant ninja turtles and how there is now currently a new show with a 5th turtle. A lady turtle!!! Couldn't believe my ears.

Yesterday, or was it today, can't remember, I also found out thru t:fm that not only was victoria beckham pregnant, she gave birth to a healthy boy named Cruz. Now I don't need to buy the Sun/Star/Junk any more, just have to listen to the radio.

There were two guys on Andrew's sports hour, although they seemed ok, didn't really know much about sport. But who cares it's all in the name of college radio.

Agent Smith

i'll fix the streaming in the morning.....

Agent Smith

Kevin_rc_ie

During my eight years no candidate has been disqualified - although one resigned before taking up office. In the past the electoral commission have tended to issue lots of warnings but not the 'ultimate sanction'. There were certainly some campaigns a few years back where the current EC would probably have been more assertive than the one at the time. DrIndy will probably know which ones I'm on about ;-)

Although apparently five years ago a candidate was 'removed' due to the fact that they weren't a "fully capitated" student (i.e. they hadn't paid their appropriate fees).

Crash

according to the EC its been roughly 20 years since someone has had to be struck off from the ballot.

Yep - he was an education candidate the year Averil Power won that job against Dave Memery.

Streaming is fixed now, someone disconnected a wire.... :rolleyes:

Votes cast for Lorna are going to be counted as 'spoiled'... it'll be interesting to see how many of these there are...

Anyone want to call it yet?

DrIndy

Indy for Education!

I'd say the dead-certs are Donal for Education and Tom for Welfare.

I wouldn't have a clue who is edging ahead in the other three races, although the bold names would be the guess:

John Mannion - Ed Reilly

Andrew Payne - Tom Dillon

Niall Hughes - Mick Cullinan

What do you think?

Nietzschean

oo scrubs

Stargal

This isn't Stargal but I don't want to log out and log in again. It's Kevin_rc_ie here.

I was asking Donal's election person, and he said that, all votes for Lorna would be disregarded. For example, if I voted lorna 1, donal 2 and denise 3, donal would become 1 and denise 2 and i;m not sure about Ron.

I'm calling it (Kevin here), O'reily, pain in me ass, donal, tom, niall.

however, i reckon eds going to be close. probably dep too.

Agent Smith

your in the studio i guess

Stargal

[kevin]no stargal was in my house this afternoon and forgot to sign out.[/kevin]

Agent Smith

i see.....



moving onwards, whens the results going to ba announced?

Stargal

[kevin]early friday morning, between 3 and 5am[\kevin]

Stargal

[Real Stargal in the laser huts] This is... very surreal

Stargal

[kevin] supports mutliple logins. i assume ur not going to lock the door on kealy's way out. shall i log out? are u on the back of andrew's manifesto? [/kevin]

Stargal

[Real Stargal] Yeah if you could log out that'd be great. And put on a playlist (either 'Filler Playlist' or 'Monday night midnight - 9am') before you go. And MOST IMPORTANTLY put the blank video on top of the video recorder into the machine and press 'Record'

Thanks a mil.

And no, that's our friend Julie on the back of the manifesto. Both have dark hair though.

Agent Smith

this is sureal.....



altho i guess the real star girl would have replyied to my email by now

Stargal

Check your mail.

Anyway back on topic... judging on the performances of the candidates at the Slave Auction in the Buttery tonight, I'll call Mannion for Pres and Andrew for DepPres. Don't know about any of the others. I'll never look at Tom Lowth in the same light again :eek:

Agent Smith

only reason i voted for andrew for dep pres is because his g/f said she'd poke me with pointy sticks if i didn't.


Joe

Stargal

Yeah, she's feisty

Agent Smith

your telling me, crazy wench scares me.....
