Anyway, on to our poll. A local Tory said I'm always nasty and horrible about them. Here's proof that nothing could be further from the truth. Which other blogger has offered them such a fantastic chance. This is open to Councillors as well, so if Graham Old says "I'd like dinner at the Good Earth with Lynne Hillan, so I can Brown Nose her in the hope of a promotion", he might just win. I will be the sole arbitor and anyone who says "I'd like Dinner with Brian Coleman at the Chinese Medical clinic so they can stick acupuncture needles in his eyes" will be disqualified and if it's rude or contains anything illegal I'll delete it.
On to our poll. As the Barnet Eye editorial team contemplated this marvellous prize, we pondered the question of which Barnet Tory we'd least like to spend an evening having dinner with. Now after much deliberation we came to our decision, which we'll detail below, but we thought we'd give you the chance to vote from our selection. Anyway here's a few candidates and our bad dinner partner rating (10/10 means rubbish dinner companion, 0/10 means marvellous company). These are our candidates, for the poll
Councillor John Hart - 1/10 - Unlike most Barnet Tories, John can be quite funny (if you don't do PC). He also is rather fond of a tipple, so unlike most of them, you would probably get good value for money from John (especially if you are a leggy blonde).
Councillor Hugh Rayner - 2/10 - Hugh likes to think of himself as a racontour. He enjoys a tipple and likes a good joke (he must, he voted for Lynne Hillan in the Leadership contest).
Councillor Lynne Hillan - 3/10 - Now this rating may surprise you. The Barnet Eye has it on good authority that once the doors are closed, the curtains are drawn and the bottle of plonk has been opened, Lynne is by no means the stuffy haridan that some leftie bloggers like to portray her as.
Councillor Brian Coleman - 5/10 - Now I bet you were thinking the Barnet Eye would put our Bwian as the last choice. Not a bit of it. We bear no grudge against Bwian, having taken him to the cleaners in our standards case, where he had to pay a huge legal bill. I can think of nothing better than spending an evening hearing how he ever thought he'd win.
Councillor Robert Rams - 8/10 - The man voted a twat by the Barnet Eye readers. Unlike his mentor, Brian Coleman, I can't really think of too many reasons why I'd want to spend an evening in his company. Certainly not his wit or his intellect. There is always the chance that if enough alcohol was poured down his neck, he might spill an indiscretion or two about Coleman, which would be good blogging material.
And the winner - The Tory Councillor which the Barnet Eye would least Like to spend and evening with is........
Anyway, it's your turn now -vote away
I want a free dinner OFF Brian Coleman. I think he should buy every Barnet resident lunch at least once during his term of office (as councillor). He could almost afford it! (Not a Brian Coleman standard of lunch, obviously, but, say, a cold buffet.)
ReplyDeleteDifficult, very difficult: we lady bloggers are very fussy, obviously: glad to see Councillor John Hart is in his rightful place at No1, but I'm afraid that Mr Angry would not allow us to dine together unchaperoned. And I wouldn't allow myself to dine with any of the rest of them for fear I might misuse the cutlery and bring their brilliant political careers to a premature and unexpected conclusion.
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs Angry,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that you are unable to partake in the fun.
I must say that your use of the term premature in the context of Robert Rams and a night out has conjoured a rather disturbing and horrible image in my head. Please be more circumspect in your use of Inglish in future.
I can only apologise.
ReplyDeleteEqually your use of the words Ramsbottom,rumpy and roast have given me something of a funny turn.
btw, do you think I am Councillor John Hart's sort of woman? Like Boris Johnson, I am of course a natural blonde, and I do have legs. I would try not to let politics come between us.
ReplyDeleteTalking of buffets, vickim57, I was once at a function at the Church Farm House Museum and noticed a man at the catered table, stuffing down crisps, sandwiches and crudites like someone who hasn't seen a square meal for months. "Look at him," I said, "hope he leaves a bit for the rest of us."
ReplyDelete"Oh, that's Brian Coleman," said my husband, as if that said it all.
So that's why I wouldn't want to have dinner with him. I've SEEN him eat.
