Can you get him to meet some famous musicians? Childhood TV stars perhaps? No? Your opinion means approx diddly squat then.
I was under no illusions that Peter Mandelson would drop to his knees and suck my cock for making hitherto unthought of ideas available to him.
Since when did it become list policy that one should only post opinions that Peter Mandelson would subscribe to? I mean, I wouldn't put it past the Labour government to bring this in under a new communications act, but I think until they do you might be rather more circumspect with your diddles and, indeed, squats.

My sincere apologies to everyone. I'm fairly new to Wikimedia UK and it's the case that other mailing lists I'm on tend not to be driven by trying to *achieve* stuff. I realise now that my recent posts haven't been helping much. I shall modify my behaviour.
I let myself down with that last post; I am trying to achieve a Buddhist-like approach to my interactions with other people which means radiating loving-kindness even to those that are giving me the rise.
I shouldn't have let someone saying my opinions mean "diddly squat" get the better of me, but it rankled and I responded in the way I'm used to doing on less utilitarian forum. I'll endeavour not to let it happen again.
For the record, I'm totally behind everything Wikimedia UK is doing and hope to help out properly when a suitable task comes up (I'm already committed to typing a transcript of the AGM provided there's a decent audio file to work from).
My apologies once again.
