Paul H Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 From Link:http://www.iomonline.co.im/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=870&ArticleID=962009 "Douglas West MHK Alex Downie said he was not surprised by the vote and is still making his mind up about contesting the vote again. 'It is what I expected really,' he said. 'Some members have said there is a reluctance to vote for me because they don't want me to leave the DTI." He really thinks so?

P.K. Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 During a debate will he be told to "Butt Out!" (sorry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey_magic Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 They've used that "BUTT HEAD" joke at least twice before in headlines in the last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I doubt he's a dud. From what I've seen of his views, they're mostly founded in common sense and he certainly doesn't strike me as a member of the establishment. I guess time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kite Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 They've used that "BUTT HEAD" joke at least twice before in headlines in the last year. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ah must have missed that. suppose he'll be used to his name being the butt of jokes anyways. (sorry) seriously though, I would have thought the police scandal would have affected his chances, or was it rather an oportune time to stand?

Speckled Frost Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I know Slim, just getting into pun mode again. Let's hope he can rebuild Legco Land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 "Douglas West MHK Alex Downie said he was not surprised by the vote and is still making his mind up about contesting the vote again. 'It is what I expected really,' he said. 'Some members have said there is a reluctance to vote for me because they don't want me to leave the DTI." He really thinks so? I really believe he does, Paul. Scary isn't it? A little peek at how Trade & Industry is faring under Alex Downie's tenure could just encourage many members to send him upstairs out of harms way while there's still a few people left with a job! But a litle ditty with the tune here... Chim chiminey Chim chiminey Chim chim cher-ee! A sweep is as lucky as lucky can be Chim chiminey Chim chiminey Chim chim cher-oo! Good luck will rub off when I shake 'ands with you Or blow me a kiss and that's lucky too Now as the ladder of life 'As been strung You may think a sweep's on the bottommost rung But I spends me time touring Cannes what a joke In this 'ole wide world There's no 'appier bloke Up where the world is all twisted and curled 'Tween pavement and stars the political world When the's 'ardly no day Nor 'ardly no night There's things 'alf in shadow and 'alf way in light With a seat up in LegCo almost in sight! I choose me bristles with pride, Yes, I do A broom for the shaft and a broom for the flume Though I'm covered with **** from me 'ead to me toes A sweep knows 'e's welcome wherever 'e goes Chim chiminey, Chim chiminey, Chim chim cher-ee! When you're with a sweep, You're in glad company No where is there a more 'appier crew Than them wot sings "Chim chim cher-ee Chim cher-oo!" On the chim chiminey Chim chim cher-ee Chim cher-oo!
