    Heres the big plan.

    Myself and a few of my friends were thinking of keeping the momentum up.

    Basically, we are interested in returning the sentiment to the election candidates around Limerick East. From tomorrow we can be seen reciprocating the diligent care and attention shown to us all over the past couple of weeks.

    Tommorow evening I plan to ring the doorbell of every candidate repeatedly, taking them away from whatever it is they were contentedly doing while simultaneously waking the baby.......10 minutes later, when they have somehow gotten the poor child back to sleep and have restarted their DVD from the point of interuption, one of the lads will begin violently ramming bits of paper through their letterbox as noisily as possible. These pieces of paper will carry NO useful information whatsoever. The will simply have a picture of one of the boys on it & a big fcuk off number 1

    - We're thinking of kicking off the whole speakers on the roof of the car next week as a means to effectively irritating people in entire neighbourhoods all at once.

    PM me if you'd like to help out, or if you need assistance in getting a local venture off the ground in your own contstituency.

    Well, no one came to my door because I live in an *apartment* (the horror!) and many of the neighbours are *foreigners with no vote* (dun dun!). I was not impressed by that. The lazy canvassers seem to stick to housing estates.:(

    I didnt see a single candidate, other than running into a couple of them in the local (but they were the ones I already knew) because...DUN DUN DUN - I live in a house with a LONG driveway.

    seriously, the only people it stops from coming down here are tricker treaters and election candidates.

    Eh, I'm quite happy that they didn't come knocking at our door. Plus you're registered at your parents anyway so they wouldn't be people you could vote for...

    If you aren't registered there, they don't know you exist.

    Well, nesf is registered to vote there, though.

    There are 7 people registered at my parents' house and only 1 canvasser came. I would've expected more.

    My car is only fit for a carwash after the 270 miles I did from 12pm Monday to 6pm yesterday...and that was only 5 towns

    Yes. But strangely wakes up at 4 am on the dot every night. As if he knew the boards back-up was done.
