Legal Beagle: Election 2017: the Special…, in reply to
I struggle to imagine him announcing it jointly.
I had a vision…
Live on the telly…
spotlit against encroaching darkness
Winston Peters flanked
by Jacinda/James (a sinister duo)
and Bill (life with dexter )…a drum roll
<pin drop silence- 5 beats>…aaaand the winnner is:
<pin drop silence – 2 beats>Winston high-fives Jacinda
spins and and low-fives James
<raise audio of the start of a horse race
- (a tribute to Winston’s years of service)>
“They’re off and running freely,
with Labour on the inside track!”Bill scowls, offscreen Bennett howls,
Joyce scurries 0n – drapes a cape
over Bill’s slumped shoulders –
they try, but don’t succeed,
to look ‘pretty sanguine’…The crowd is on its feet
the lights comes up
it pours out of everyone…
outside the silver space ships fly
In the yellow haze of the sun.<cut to exterior shot:
a hunched hoodied figure
smears face and hands against
the Epsom Electrical Emporium’s
pristine panes.>A choked snort and low giggle
escapes Seymour’s non-event horizon
followed by a muttering:
“Ha ha ha! Fools they spurned me,
when only I know what Winston thinks. Me!
What an opposition we will be - Misery loves company”
He wipes his nose on his sleeve and
dissolves into the gathering obscurity
- albeit well paid – for the next 3 years.and that chiluns is how the mighty dynasty of JacWinJim began.
Putting the ‘trip’ into tripartite since 2017!
…and what a long strange trip it’s been.Let’s do this!

Stanislaw Lem has a great book 'The Chain of Chance'
Written in the style of a detective novel, The Chain of Chance is classic Lem: a combination of action, hard science, and philosophical investigation.
An ex-astronaut is hired to look into the death of several wealthy businessmen. The authorities suspect a pattern, but neither the police nor a supercomputer enlisted for the investigation can crack the case.---and from Good Reads
An aging American astronaut is investigating a cluster of unexplained deaths (usually suicides that follow periods of depression and severe hallucinations) of late-middle-age men in and around Naples, Italy. The novel might be called a scientific and philosophical mystery as it deals with detailed analysis of various factors, which are common for all unexplained cases, with statistics and probability theory.
