Fair enough : doing one's job. However, given that there was no campaign allowed by the Central Party minister (no-party minister Harney) ...and having being, therefore, "disabled" -- by government proclamation -- from being in a position to conduct any manner of elections campaign during the three weeks as a nominee, it was rather strange to receive the threats of impending fines and/or jail directly after the elections were conducted in my absence. Noel finally, after the 16-April 2008 petition to the European Parliament was heard in 2009, Dec 01, the EP did write to the minister responsible on 16 Dec 2009. They have, as yet, to receive any response. http://bit.ly/51zLIu Soon it will be Valentines'? Again. Will it not? Enjoy the Christmas anyone? Maybe this time around, her LadyShip will decree a favourable judicial (and final) fatcision. http://moby.to/495zlf hahhaha SIPO :
