Seconds OUT!

Will Bill and Mrs Trump be present? Now what would be REALLY funny if they were caught having..err.. a dialogue like Boris Becker's in the broom-cupboard.

 

[Captain Sensible]

Trump had a comedy score of about 0.5 out of 10 in the last one, he needs to ramp it up for viewing figures. Last time was just not good enough, he can't win by trying to be a politician. Clinton will wipe the floor with him again but it's the comedy everyone wants to see.

Well it WOULD be funny - if the stability of the free world and the not-so-free world wasn't at stake. Required viewing tho eh?

True but comedy has an elevated value when the stakes are so high.

I'd rather sleep than listen to those two. No doubt, there'll be lots of coverage on the breakfast tv programmes when I wake up.

Yes but it would be like watching MOTD, the highlights will have been chosen for you. With a "Gary" and an "Alan" to pontificate and give you the Billary version. On the Beeb anyway.

 

[Stat Brother]

A couple of things from watching the last debate, as live & in full:-

1) It was inadvertently and scarily one of the funniest programmes of the year.

B) It's really easy to pick out the NSC'ers who didn't watch more than a couple of minutes of 'highlights'.

It's a good job I have a choice of Sky, Itv and Twitter then.

I've set it to record.

Well I guess you could say the same about the first moon landing. You presumably stayed up for that (assuming you're old enough, obviously). This election has far wider short-term implications for the planet as a whole, and IMHO, the lead-up debates are well worth watching live on that basis. It's history in the making, for better or worse.

The moon landing happened at 10pm UK time, so being 20 at the time, I was actually awake for that.

You cannot compare two presidential candidates in America, where I have no right to vote, having a ding dong on tv, to a monumental historical moment in man's history, surely?

Let them get on with it. As somebody said, it will be like Farage v Cherie Blair, neither of whom I would give house room.

Well not normally, no. But when one's a deranged megalomaniac right-wing nutter...

And the other one is power hungry. I wouldn't trust Hilary as far as I could throw her.

Same. But at least it's a pretty sure bet that Clinton is not going to ignite a whole new world of hate that electing Trump is guaranteed to do.

It could really get tasty:

Just more corruption.

I can honestly see one or the other being assissinated whilst in office.

Same. Or maybe even before.

Not the kind of thing you'd want to be even talking about on a public messageboard tho IMHO, because these kind of buzzwords will be monitored far more carefully than you'd like to think.

Er no .... it happened at 3.56 AM UK time.

I was 12 and remember setting my alarm clock for it. I couldn't believe that neither of my parents or sister wanted to get up and see it.

I'm not setting my alarm for Clinton/Trump

Trump seems to have got away with saying Clinton could (/should?) be assassinated ..... but then he was in I'm just saying' mode a the time.

I'll probably watch until Trump's hero line of coke wears off. .....I don't know if it's true, but I'm hearing things, y'know, I'm just saying what I'm hearing, y'know?
