I saw these quotes the other day, had I had to share them with you.<\/p>\n

OK, numbers one and two (thanks to Gavin Esler<\/a>, Newsnight<\/a><\/strong><\/em> presenter…)<\/p>\n

“The first door I knocked on, I was told to burn in hell. I felt things could only get better after that.”<\/p>\n

Tory candidate Lucille Nicholson in Easington<\/a>, County Durham<\/a>, where the Labour<\/a> majority last time round was 21,949.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

From a local councillor in County Wicklow<\/a> commenting on a proposal to boost tourism<\/a> by putting gondolas on a local lake:<\/p>\n

“The idea is well and good in theory, but tell me this: who is going to feed them?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ah… Gavin and your Quotes Of The Day… Thanks!<\/p>\n

The last one comes from an interview with a local radio DJ<\/a>. I’ve no idea where this was from, so I do apologise.<\/p>\n

“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>“, 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<\/a> 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.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
