For this 'fanfic' idea I want to do something like Cheers. We could perhaps after every election & update cut to a pub in London with all of the IAAR cast. So one corner of the bar would have the angry raving Communists, the alley outside could have a drunk named Enewald who rants about how Aliens are taking over his property rights, etc. It would be a funny little side-story away from the seriousness of Tommy's updates and the elections. Any opinions?

Well I was also entertaining the possibility of the proceedings of a Liberal Assembly in this parliament and of something minor set in parliament but Cheers sounds good too :)

The New Statesman, perhaps? That could be set in Parliament.

I would support a Cheers-style thing nonetheless, though (not that I can claim to have seen it ever, so I've no idea if the humour is any good. :p)
 
If you keep up with remarks like that then I might just have to airbrush you out of the cast - Stalin style :p

You didn't even draw a Tanzhangball - you just copy and pasted mine! :mad:

You could call it Preparing for Government. ;)
 
Oh lord... someone gave Powell a majority. My plan failed. I may have to vote for Labour next election :( This will make me feel sick :p.

Why?

We have Italian cuisine! :p
 
When I said Cheers I meant more that setting. I like to imagine that all of the IAAR voters and non-lurkers are all just average London citizens that all happen to go to the same pub and 'shoot the shit' as we call it in the U.S. Basically just silly conversations and people being silly. Imagine Monty Python but in a bar and full of Communsits, Liberals, and *shivers* Conservatives.

Love the idea! Will link you in the contents, just post in the thread.
 
I take pride in people wanting to bully me. After all, if they cannot properly criticize my opinions by proving them wrong, ergo they can only resort to emotional combat in the form of trying to mock me. :)
All the negative attention simply confirms how right my cause is. :p

No one bullies you, we don't care enough. We just think you are wrong. That's all. Don't take too much out of it, even if Howard is getting all uptight about us thinking you are a nutter.

But no socialists? :D

Sounds good. Will you be writing an 'episode' soon?

That's very true - but that doesn't mean I have to include you in the cast list. And you should be thankful I didn't give you a silly hat :p

You shouod shorten your days drastically :p 4-6 hours is more than enough, trust me.

But no socialists? :D

Sounds good. Will you be writing an 'episode' soon?

No socialists sound good to me! :D

Yessir. I am currently at my School library browsing AARs because I'm addicted to Paradox like a Conservative to war-mongering. But when I arrive home and maybe do a little napping I will certainly get to work on an introduction of our 'cast' and a look into our little pub. I will say now, however, the Paper-Hat Gang run by the Prince in Rags (Contra) is going to be causing some trouble alongside a dashing young Doctor who may or may not be named Fredrich Stein. :D

You'll note that the assembly itself only ran from 9.30am to 5pm :p

Ironically the conservatives are one of the least war mongering right now ;)

And what of the witty, intelligent and cosmopolitan young liberal sipping lemonade and listening to avant garde music in the corner with some friends? :D

I look forward to reading the first instalment very much indeed.
