[edit] Update

Have borrowed a copy of the book now cited in the article and amended the name accordingly. David Kernow 00:57, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

But of course the real person's name may not have matched the fictional character in Monty Python. -- Beardo 22:20, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category: Politics of the United Kingdom

Taking a look at the contents of this category, it's clear that this article does not belong in it. There are very few biographical articles in there and certainly it's not the place to put unsuccessful parliamentary candidates. One of the sub-categories of Category: Politics of the United Kingdom may be better, but a quick search didn't throw up any obvious ones. Any suggestions? -- Lincolnite 02:17, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal

Fun as this article is, it's never going to grow significantly, and - as his notability comes solely from having a silly name and standing in the Crosby by-election, 1981 - can best be covered in that article. Warofdreams talk 00:54, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I think that's sensible. -- Lincolnite 02:26, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
I don't object... AnonMoos 18:19, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Aww, there goes the longest article name on Wikipedia. But go ahead anyway :) -- intgr [talk] 19:26, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
