In the end but... it's all about connecting with the voters. From that picture alone Tony has to be a great guy, and a cool rock star one at that. |
On the first point...me. I'm more into real sports! (way to make friends...)
On the second point, no he doesn't and indeed isn't, but probably still better than the competition, maybe...
If he was cool he'd be called Tone (Whales and Dolphins, Whales and Dolphins, Yeah) (if that doesn't mean anything to you, don't worry, you weren't there) |

Well I was born in '81...
The only problem is that Tequila is the only thing that makes me aggresive
EDIT: got rid of long dull story
Or should I have said:
'Best Friend, You're all that I've got'
No, that makes me sound like a crazy stalker. |

Has anyone actually witnessed Blair playing anything, other than his normal role of habitual liar? I expect the whole thing is some story made up and spun in the usual fashion by Millbank to make us think he was some kind of cool OK dude. As a life long Labour voter, and someone who voted for him in ’97, I think he is a total disgrace. As in the immortal words Billy Ocean, Tony it’s “Time to move on”!!
No doubt a fine, well paid position awaits in the EU or somewhere so “Go Now”! |

| You are probably right, Nigel. There is no evidence for Blair being anything more than a mediocre guitar player. I think you're right about the rest of what you say too, but perhaps this isn't the place for a political discussion. |

OK, here's a tangent that actually comes back around!
I once heard an animal expert asked whether dogs or cats were more intelligent. He said the question made absolutely no sense, since all we can do is judge them by human standards, and neither are smart enough to be a human under any condition. What they ARE is just smart enough to do what they do, which is to be a cat or a dog. And they are perfectly intelligent enough to do that.
So, going by that roundabout little route, we can assume that Tony is a good enough guitar player to be a politician...and no better. If he were good enough to be a rock star, he'd be a rock star! And, of course, that's the truth about all politicians, be it Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, or even the local school board chairman. They are usually best at being a politician, and nothing else, and even that for only a short span of time, when their talents and the public's needs coincide with their skills. When that coincidence ends, they usually prove that they were never really cut out to be anything else, either. |

I'm a good enough bass player to be a forum moderator 
Speaking of modding, rather than edit/delete posts (which is a drag and general last resort) it would be preferable to keep this closer to whether "The Tone" is an adequate or otherwise guitar player and if it's just photo-opportunism. Don't want "A_Campbell" posting in about x billion extra spending on blahblah
FWIW, I do know that he's a member of the Fender Owner's Club. Filmed moving into No 10 in May '97 clutching a Strat, the enterprising brown-noses at FMIC quickly gave him freeby membership and a nice bit of publicity for themselves. I remember a TV prog about the Coke/Pepsi wars where the two rivals battled to secure shots of the Presidential candidates slurping their stuff ("I have never..." sips Diet Coke "had sexual relations..." turns can around so logo faces camera).
Watch this space to see if new Tory leader David Cameron gets a freeby Gibson to strap to his bike rack. I doubt if the Liberal Democrats are worth enough for the Custom Shop "Closet Classic" but there might be a Stagg waiting for Ming in the wings. |
