Since no one else has, the present UK General Election was one of the most
boring on record until a certain Mr. Evans, with exceptionally good aim,
threw an egg at the Deputy Prime Minister. He retaliated by punching the egg
thrower in full view of the TV cameras.
It was then like a great sports event. Different camera angles, slow motion,
action replay. It kept us all away from our QL's for a couple of days. Hence
our need to be off topic.
