  well, if you don't get one of those extra 850 tixs then steve that
  still leaves the politician/st johns ambulance/special constable
  options open.

  and i know there's a lot of moaning about politico's, those elected
  that is, on the list but they're just people no more or less than
  anyone else on this list. if you don't like what they do then do
  something about it. stand and get elected yourself and change
  things.  
  my erstwhile namesake (tho his given name was actually 'guido'
  him being of italian stock) has been quoted as the only man to
  enter parliament with honest intentions. nice and glib but how
  true? there's plently i'd say have entered with honest intentions.
  sadly a lot get corrupted and lose them though over the years
  there's some stodd for principles.
  given my anarcho-sydicalist tendancies i do have quite a bit of
  sympathy with "don't vote, it only encourages them' but when 
  it comes down to the nitty gritty i feel you should use it as (sans
  revolucion) it's the only way to change things and if you don't
  bother to vote then there's no point in whinging afterwards about
  what they're doing. you had your chance and didn't take it.
  when i've had a vote then i have always used it, even when
  in local elections in huddersfield i had the dilemma of choosing
  between a conservative and an NF candiate (i used my ballot
  paper to write a small thesis on the need for revolution and the
  overthrow of capitalism and racisim)

  do i take it there's no elections north of the border this year so
  no prosepects of councillor boocock?
