OMG BY ELECTION MAKES ME A TIRED KITTEH I have been knocking voter doors all day in Glasgow east and will be until the 24th. Piss or shine, I'll be out there. That's what you gotta do if you wanna win!→[More:]

The voters in Glasgow east are generally nice, but some are surly. Oh well. People are surly everywhere.

I got roundly swore at today, but a very very cute baby girl gave me the most beautiful smile, so that makes up for it.

but some are surly.

of course they are, you're knocking on their door on a weekend. You might as well be a Jehovah's Witness.

Which party, Grace? I heard a piece on the radio about this by-election. Labour's campaign doesn't seem to be going well.

answering machines. bill collectors and telemarketers (and someone stumping for a candidate ain't nothin' but a telemarker) go right into the 'delete messge' bin.

The canvassing might pay off then! Best of luck with it. I do admire people who are politically active (though I have a quasi-tribal prejudice against Tories).
