haha you could have at least linked me!!

i guess the point is to do it myself

Ferry's on some Tory steering committee trying to drum up celebrity support for the next election. From my sources they are trying to persuade Madonna to turn up at their rallies (as Shireen Ritchie runs Tory HQ in Portilloland - RBKC) and have definitely also approached the management of Busted and Dido. Simon Cowell might be involved and might force some of the Pop Idol people under contract to him to turn up as well, to stand shoulder to shoulder with Tarby, Lynsey de Paul, Frank Bruno, Kelly Holmes (wanna bet?) etc.

It's OK, Stevie, no one ever excelsiors me, either.

(Except for that one time that I got excelsiored because I was being the "straight man" to Stevem's funny. Sigh.)

― Danger Whore (kate), Friday, 17 September 2004 10:24 (twenty-one years ago)

exactly!

Not everyone loves puns as much as you ken - except me

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 17 September 2004 10:25 (twenty-one years ago)

The only other time I got excelsiored within living memory, I wasn't even trying to be funny, I was just off on a rant!

Whatever you do, it is urgent and key and you hide your microphone in a hat, even if it's just for interviews.

A special front-line report from our war correspondent in central London

A sun-drenched Parliament Square was the scene of violent clashes between schoolchildren and police this afternoon as the anti-war movement responded to the US-led coalition's first strikes against Iraq.

Office workers, tourists and drunks were left stranded as hundreds of truanting teenagers brought surrounding streets to a standstill with a wave of inspired sit-down protests. However, what started out peacefully soon led to angry confrontations when police tried to move the protestors, forcing them and confused bystanders into the middle of the square.

At least five teenagers were arrested and two injured as police moved in. One protestor told me that he had seen police "prodding" protestors "with their truncheons".

Another claimed that he had been verbally abused by one officer.

"He called me a little shit," said 16 year old Darren Spanner from Ealing. "Wait till I tell my parents."

The protestors, mainly grammar school pupils, remained defiant in the face of the overwhelming police presence.

"Fuck 'em," one told me. "They're just pigs, innit?"

Like many "not good enough to go to Iraq or Washington" correspondents trapped in the middle of Parliament Square, I was left wrestling with illicit thoughts brought on by the abundance of 16 year old nymphets that littered the scene.

"This place is just crawling with jailbait," John Piennar said to me. "Sod this journalism shit, I'm going to become a teacher."

― stevie (stevie), Friday, 17 September 2004 10:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Do you ever excelsior anyone else?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 17 September 2004 10:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Erm, gobshite alert. How do you do that? Is it just simply cutting and pasting?

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Friday, 17 September 2004 10:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Or maybe even copying and pasting?

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Friday, 17 September 2004 10:46 (twenty-one years ago)

i have excelsiored other people, yes. are you suggesting its a mutually-exclusive back-rubbing clique-nest that'll never clutch me to its corrupt bosom?

― stevie (stevie), Friday, 17 September 2004 10:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, that's about it.

― Danger Whore (kate), Friday, 17 September 2004 10:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, a bit, yes. For some reason I never excelsior anyone tho people here make me laugh all the time.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 17 September 2004 10:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Dadaismus, I am choosing to read an implicit 'exelsior' for me there in your last post. DO NOT DISILLUSION ME

― stevie (stevie), Friday, 17 September 2004 10:49 (twenty-one years ago)

stvie: be surreptitious. pop in to a few threads and say things like LOL. or zzzzzzzzzzzing! after a few folk. or just generally agree with people.

then, in circles where you are sure-ish of your friends...make the excelsior attempt.

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 17 September 2004 10:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks, Kate, I was afeared to try it in case my lack of HTML skills became painfully apparent.

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Friday, 17 September 2004 10:50 (twenty-one years ago)

penelope yup it's all just cutting and pasting.. you can even add a <i> </i>tag tag around it just to make it all italic and pretty

Should we start a thread about "Things people said in an obvious but failed attempt to get excelsiored?"

Also, much of what's in the excelsior threads isn't funny at all to me, the arbiter of true humor.

Anyway, you're all funny. Excelsiors for everyone!
