I saw these quotes the other day, had I had to share them with you.
OK, numbers one and two (thanks to Gavin Esler, Newsnight presenter…)
“The first door I knocked on, I was told to burn in hell. I felt things could only get better after that.”
Tory candidate Lucille Nicholson in Easington, County Durham, where the Labour majority last time round was 21,949.
From a local councillor in County Wicklow commenting on a proposal to boost tourism by putting gondolas on a local lake:
“The idea is well and good in theory, but tell me this: who is going to feed them?”
Ah… Gavin and your Quotes Of The Day… Thanks!
The last one comes from an interview with a local radio DJ. I’ve no idea where this was from, so I do apologise.
“One night, when I was at the controls, a record began to skip. Before I could react, the needle scraped across the entire song leaving me with “dead air“, a DJ’s worst nightmare. I grabbed the mike and shouted over the air, “All right, which one of you listeners at home just bumped your radio and made my record skip?” After my face saving joke, I played another song. A few minutes later the switchboard operator told me that three people had called to apologise.”
