Another thing about political motivation is that there should be no sense of frustration or upset in defeat. Instead, rejoice that democracy has allowed a majority decision to be reached and quietly put your policies away, since they're not wanted. Of course, you can roll them out next time around as circumstances may well have changed, alternative policies demonstrated not to have had desired outcomes, etc. This is something that really concerns me about the SNP. Having had the majority of Scots people living in Scotland say they don't want devolution, for a moment there (until reality kicked in) I expected Alex Salmond to not only resign, but immediately disband the SNP; now all of a sudden they have 1/12 of the nation's seats, founded primarily on a premise that most of their own country rejected... bizarre.

Emptying all the little empties never quite emptied the big empty, but I kept on trying for lack of anything better to do.
Had to stop frequently to wash the slippery off my hands, though: memories have a lot in common with eels, you know; whatever that stuff on their surface is that helps them wriggle ... well, I wouldn't quite call it "slimy," but ...
And, you are going to lose some ... memories ... you really meant to keep in the process ... you know ... like "collateral damage" where innocent civilians get taken out.
That's how I lost my last ten birthdays, and why I can't remember my telephone number.
Which wouldn't be a problem if people didn't keep bringing it up ... the birthdays I mean.
Who to believe ?
The friend who says you got drunk, and were arrested walking naked on the freeway shouting you were a moth ? ... Or, the friend who says you had a heart-attack and spent the birthday in the ICU in a coma ? Or, the friend who claims he loaned you a hundred-bucks the day of the birthday to buy the steaks and beer ?
Not to mention the ex who now claims you apologized to her at the birthday, and agreed to up the alimony ?
Unfortunately, I also can't remember who I told what I can't remember to.
That's why I am writing this down, now.
Leaves me wondering what kind of friend would pass the butt-print of my amnesia around to all my other friends: if that isn't revenge porn, I don't know what it is.

It's called a "protective mucus layer" and a single Hagfish can convert 20 litres of water to mucus surprisingly quickly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagfish[^] and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb2EOP3ohnE[^]

Wow, that's one amazing fish ! The next video up on YouTube after the video you linked to was a live video in the open ocean showing 14 attempts at eating a hagfish by various predators: all failed: [^].

They are considering using the slime to make clothing: apparently it's made of stretchy fibres which are as strong as silk: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21954779[^]

Just found this[^] whilst looking to see where he was standing. If he's suspended does that mean he can't be voted for?
So much for staying off Codeproject so not to post something to ruin your chances
Nagy I know you still speak with him?

Hey does suspend himself quite good without CP, maybe that's the reason why he'll never come back 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Would have been too late to remove him from the ballots. A few have been suspended by their parties in the last few weeks, never worked out if the votes cast for them still count, I would imagine so as the suspension is from the party not the election.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

You vote for a person not a party (despite popular belief). The candidate's standing in the party is a total irrelevance. Indeed he/she doesn't even have to declare a party at all.
You can only be removed from a ballot if found guilty of breaches of statutes relating to elections and campaign conduct. There are certain circumstances in which the result of an election can be annulled at a later date but again party membership or standing would not be a cause for such action to be invoked.

Go on! (and link to a few of his early posts here, while you're at it *

I linked and he replied, but it would be wrong of me to post what he said.

Because it would get you flagged as abusive?

Or maybe the suspension would get permanent if the word gets spread?

Have you aid post them instead

Yes, I am standing.
Yes, I am still a member of the conservative party.
No, I haven't been suspended.
(Press got it wrong (again)).
And it wasn't me who posted it.
Just to clear up any confusion.

I wouldn't be so sure: this is the man who drunkenly edited Wikipedia to report the (untrue) death of an English cricketer!
