What Type of MP would You Be? Another annoying meme


What Type of MP would You Be?

Daniel 1979 tagged me for this so he's responsible for wasting my time and yours!

So this is open to anyone who wants to be an MP in Parliament after the next General Election, as well as the bloggers tagged below, after they have finished, if they would kindly tag 5 more that would be super.

1. Has there ever been an occasion when you failed to notice that you have paid your mortgage off months, possibly years in advance, and just had not realised?

2. Does your property contain a moat?

3. Do you think you could in good conscience accept a salary and allowances whilst not actually attending your place of work or office?

4. If you were told that it was within the rules to go jump off a cliff, would you do it?

5. Are you able to tell the difference between a room in a house, and an actual house?

6. Are you able to commute a distance under 35 miles for work purposes without the need for an additional house being provided?

7. Do you know what an Iron is?

8. Is your TV or Stereo likely to need an upgrade in the next 5 years?

9. Do you have a warped sense of humour OR Do you have a helipad?

10. If you did need two houses to live and work, do you think it possible to designate one as a main home, and stick by that decision for the duration of that employment?

11. If you work in a different place to where you live – do you find yourself, or could you envision, eating twice as much food as you would if you lived more locally to work?

12. Do you know what a pergola is?

Anyone else who wants to is free to answer in the comments, but be warned and very careful, you may inadvertantly prove yourself suitable for a position in Government.

Answers

1. No

2. No, I prefer doors to drawbridges

If The universality of cheese, Advanced Media Watch, Brownlie, Holyrood Chronicles and Pseudepigrapha would like to have a go then we may have some interesting answers.

I'd be a solid old rightie

1. Bring back capital punishment. If nuclear deterrence works why not a social deterrent?

2. £65,000 a year plus reasonable travel expenses. Good money, that.

3. Stop immigration except for genuine asylum seelkers until unemployment below 50,000.

4. No work, no benefits.

5. Nurture young and old.

6.Put people before buildings.

7. Fewer holidays for MPs.

8. No ministers outside of a 25 strong cabinet. What are civil servants for?

9. Annual re- selection for MPs.

10. A better deal for our Armed Services and Police.

Slightly related - a challenge for you, subrosa - tell us your two truths and a lie.

subrosa said...

OldRightie, I do hope you're going to publish that on your own website. It's too good as a comment.

My two truths and a lie:

I had morning coffee with Patrick McGoohan.

I've been self employed for 13 years.

I have four bathrooms/shower rooms in my home.

subrosa said...

Vronsky your turn now.

Everyone else have a go at Vronsky's two truths and a lie (see his post above).

Oldrightie said...

Thank you as ever, Subrosa!
Two truths and a lie.

I love my boss.(Mrs)
I care deeply about our UK.
I love Jimmy Snot Picker,, Labour and socialism.

subrosa said...

Now I'm in a quandry OR, so I am. Not for one moment I'm suggesting you don't love your wife so that's a true.

It has come to my notice that you're not a Scottish nationalist or even an English one so I'm sure you're a unionist.

Everybody has to love somebody, but Jimmy? Oh dearie me. I kind of think that's a fib OR, no that's wrong. I know it's a BIG lie :)

I subscribe to the Groucho Marx principle.
