Capital Summertime Ball 2024

So we're moving from a democracy to a republic state then all hail King DC/Timsk. I overheard some pigeons talking about this i think they may be planning a coup.

Can I have the Ming Campbell role i.e. has no effect on policy and where power is only a pipedream or Minister in charge of bad jokes

[DC]

the more you say it the more i disbelieve you

i dont care about one person, get used to it. i'm a man of the people.

[Guest]

Stacey John and DC working together.

Not very different from the current arrangement then

[*becky*93]

scott mills and laura should takeover

[Mike]

Yeah, cos a 3 hour radio show takes 20 minutes to prepare each day...

Exactly! If it aint broke...

If there's going to be a vote for a candidate to succeed Jono (Labour Party-stylee) then I'm yet to decide where my vote will go. I think it imprudent and unwise for one to be naming names and increasing hopes before any proper mechanism is set in place to decide who will accede to the Admin throne.

Perhaps to get the stone rolling, those who want to stand as candidates should petition Jono first he can then deduce a shortlist and the winners campaign for our votes, indicating to us why they should and would make a good forum administrator. It would then be up to us to decide in a public poll who picks up the keys from Jono.

[Monitorabbit]

This isn't a democracy though - Jono's absolute ruler and can appoint his successor.

[Guest]

That's why I said if.

[dstrkzn]

So ive noticed jono hasn't posted in this thread, is this a ploy to see who would stab him in the back for a bit of glory lol?

[DC]

lets just shove some random newbie in charge.

[goldengirl]

It should go by post count

Ema & DC would definitely rule the world of UM if that was the case Don't think anyone else is close in posts.

[*becky*93]

but how does that work surely little work is needed to read forum posts isnt it the mp3s updating website and putting news on and noting requests and reviews that is the real job. we want some one that can do that posting is the easy bit

[callum]

can i be charles kennedy, the drunk who has retreated to the backbenches

I'll be Edwina Currie, the foolish woman with a big ego.

[Guest]

Who wants to be Anne Widdecombe then?

[sebdevlin]

I'll be Edwina Currie, the foolish woman with a big ego.

But who will be your John Major

[Mike]

I think i am going to be sick.

[Monitorabbit]

But who will be your John Major

Ewwwwww!!

I'll be the alternative universe Edwina who looks attractive, praises the cleanliness of eggs and has affairs with hot young bass guitarists.

Still foolish and egocentric, however

[Timsk]

I'd 'second' (in voting terms) the regular clip content creators - there's regular effort and talent involved; the current forum moderators; and finally that Jono still has a big hand in the running of things.

Not really a fan of change if it's not necessary.

[Jono]

I vote we leave it like cm.net where the admins only come on to break up hissy fights. We could let a few 'elite' run the site and tell everyone what they can and can't do instead, they're popular aren't they? Oh...

Yeah, didn't Chris Harris threaten to ban all of the regulars on that forum because of their avatars, you don't get that on here.

[DaNNiP15]

was/is she good or bad?

[kitty]

If you do have a vote, you have to make it nice and simple- apparently us Scottish folk can't understand any complex voting system!

I quite fancy being the Kilroy- I could dish out useful advice, as well as being a political heavyweight hehe!
