oggbashan doesn't get enough props

[gravyrug]

Ogg's posts are always fun and entertaining, and sometimes wonderfully informative. Ogg's stories are likewise fun and entertaining, and sometimes make you want to dig for more info on his settings. Should the Gravyrug World Tour and Tasting Festival ever happen, a visit with Ogg would be a must.

He gives hope to us all. Witty, fun, enthusiastic and energetic, even in his 107th year.

If it might make you feel better, I'd put you beside him on the wall, and would feel somewhat bad but ever-so-slightly less so than for Ogg, when you go into the night.

I like him, he always has the most interesting stories and facts.

2busybody or not2busybody, that is the question.



Ogg chooses not2busybody.

That identity is one of the few on my very short ignore list. I don't like signatures that abuse politicians - because I'm a politician too...

Again, I read that in Winston Churchill's voice.

I've always had a great measure of respect for oggbashan. In almost any thread he posts in, you can count upon him to bring a knowledgeable, respectful, and levelheaded voice to a conversation and he always has fascinating life stories to tell.

Ogg is one of the people I'd want to be stuck with me on an island.

I've met, and worked with, politicians from the local parish-pump level to cabinet ministers. Yes, some of them are very ambitious and willing to succeed, but the same was true of my very senior people at work including me.

But we don't have the personal animosity that US politicans seem to have. Members of Parliament are generally reasonable with each other. They may shout at each other in the House of Commons but then meet in the bar or restaurant afterwards.

It is essential for any Member of Parliament from the main parties to have a 'pair' - someone from the other party who will cooperate if one of them cannot attend an important vote - so that the relative voting power of each party is maintained. Working on a daily basis with an opponent builds trust and mutual respect even if you think the other guy has seriously weird ideas.

Care to share with whom you've been paired?

None. I've never been an MP, and I wouldn't want to be one.

I've had the pleasure of meeting Og in person over a pint or two. He's a genuine fella. Plus: Cake hat.

Lucky guys. I wish I was there!

General Board Friends Spend Raucous Night Validating The Living Shit Out Of Each Other

The entire night we just went balls out with the confidence-boosting," Smiley said of the gathering, adding that by 10 p.m. she had already partaken in seven or eight mutual expressions of positive regard. "It was completely insane."

"We just kept telling Ogg how fucking talented and beautiful he was until eventually the licensee had to ask us to leave," Liar added.
