This years’ leading Commander of the Order of Queueing (COQ) 2016 is George Doocot, for having a prominent but lesser place in the queue at cosmic level and a leading swiss role at pata-meta-cosmic level. His distinctive contribution to nothing will no longer continue to go un-noticed. The awards commissionnaires have dug deep into the digital detritus dumpster to draw out this:

The digits have clicked sufficiently to reveal that this years’ Officer of the Order of the Queueing (OOQ) position of power is bestowed upon The Autumn Crocus Bulbs. The Bulbs take this award for having a major minor place in the queue underground, rooting for the right kind of nonsense: their queueing work has now made them known postnationally in their chosen field.

Email Espagnol: Vota por mí. #Campaña electoral: Malentendidos
Querido ………….

Estaba pensando en ti hoy cuando iba a la cirugía porque estaba pasando frente a la calle que dijiste que es tu casa.
Lo siento realmente no entiendo su proyecto !!
Fuimos al Podiatra y después de unos 3 o 4 minutos para escuchar a él muy incómodo me dije por qué estás gritando conmigo? Es porque hablo español no soy sordo. Se disculpó diciendo que muchas personas vienen a verlo que son sordos! Él dijo que lo siento muchas veces avergonzado y tratando de hacer más cosas de lo habitual para complacerme.
Esta es la forma en que mi vida es en Manchester!
espero verte pronto
Buena suerte con tu proyecto !! Si es un doble sentido y no puede lidiar con eso incluso en español!
Amor………………………….

Birthday Candles. Hustings: #Clickings
Vote for me. I am the moment of the moment. When the lights are turned off to optimise the lit candles on the cake, some cameras are poised and some have already started clicking. The cake is carried in and put down on the surface as the singing starts up. The person whose birthday it is encouraged to make a wish, takes a deep breath blows out the candles, the cameras clicking with increased urgency. A cheer goes up and the moment just before the lights go back on and before the candles are completely extinguished, is the moment that you are voting for if you vote for me.

Autumn Crocus Bulbs. Hustings: #Bloomings
Vote for me: I spend most of the year working underground, tirelessly networking in order to make a short but significant appearance every autumn. I am well-known for being tall and gangly, usually in white or purple bloom. I am the favourite flower of Kurt Schwitters, well-known for having interesting stuff in his pockets.
I may look like a crocus but am in fact a member of the Colchicaceae plant family. The colchicine content of my bulbs make me deadly poisonous with symptoms resembling those of arsenic, for which it is said there is no antidote, but don’t let that put you of voting for me.

A remaindeer of the criteria for Officer of the Order of the Queueing (OOQ)
This is awarded for having a major minor place in the queue for the right kind of nonsense, including entities whose queueing work has made them known postnationally in their chosen line.

Emmental Cheese Hole. Hustings: #Savings
Vote for me. I offer you a way of looking at life: through the cheesehole. If you find yourself drifting off while queueing at a cheese counter or in any queue for that matter, imagine yourself climbing into a cheese hole and peering out into the void. Fill the void with what you’d prefer to see if that differs from the reality around you, or maybe bung up that hole with a filling of your choice. Either way it’s a savoury saviour for the savvy.

Smash It Up Hustings: #Frothings
Vote for me. If you are inclined to smash it up, I can offer strategies for you to keep your Krishna burgers. Those around you might smash it up and you might prefer to emulate the Glastonbury hippies of the 70s. Alternatively, you might feel better if you smash it up til there’s nothing left and celebrate by drinking a frothy lager. However, if we collectively smash it up there would be less opportunity to discuss your blow wave hairstyles. Like I said, vote for me.

Reciprocal emails. Hustings: #Jabberings
Vote for us. At first I offered and he said he didn’t really get it but put me forward in the queue anyway. I thought about explaining it a bit more so he might get it but decided this might confuse matters. What eventually happened was that I also put him forward in the queue. He didn’t comment and I was quite relieved but I do think he deserves it. As it transpires, it’s the emails and not the senders, recipients, neither blind nor carbon-copied, that are in the line-up. If you can follow this, vote with your feet.

George Doocot né Silverfish. Hustings: #Waverings
Vote for me. I was originally bought for £1000 from a food retailers trade fair in London and spent my formative years waving at potential customers from the window of an independent takeaway pizza outlet in South Manchester. I was then sold for £100 on the recommendation of the proprietor of a nearby hipster boutique and spent the next years of my life waving at potential customers from the window of an independent fancy dress outfitters in Manchester City Centre. Admittedly at this point in my life I was showing signs of wear and tear, including a scraggy hairdo, an infestation of silverfish and missing digits.* From this low point, I was given a new lease of life by Doocot Puppeteers. What you see before you today is a reformed character with a brave new heart and most importantly, I am still the same waving man on the street.
* This unfortunately makes me ineligible for the Member of the Order of Queueing Award, as I lack a thumb to stick out, sore or otherwise.

Who is the Terrorist? Hustings: #Launderings
Vote for me. The lyrics to this song and question by Pablo Gad say ‘Look after your own back yard and don’t you worry about the neighbours’ referring to the human flaw of apportioning blame without first questioning habits of mind. The consequences of this can be devastating. I stand out in my own back yard in all weathers and in some sense I do worry about the neighbours, but hopefully not in a judgemental way. For example, if it looks like rain and they’ve left their washing out I might worry that they’re going to have to wash it all again.

Nominations update: after a steady flow of hustings from the nominees there has been a lull over the last week due to that thing that happens over the festive season. Please be assured that this is no reflection on the quality of the candidates.

USA Think Flag Hustings: #Ponderings
Vote for me, if you think I am capable. I promise to try to gather together all the relevant information from as many perspectives to help you think and decide for yourself. I will own up, apologise and endeavour to set the record straight if I get it wrong. Standing out conspicuously is not my main aim, but sometimes you have to strain to make your voice heard. My standpoint comes from within the crowd and it will be jostled around as much as anyone else’s but I will try to pay attention to what is going on around me. This is my campaign song: https://youtu.be/R6roXHcuKUQ

Pointing Finger Hustings: #Indicatings
Vote for me. I am The Ubiquitous Pointing Finger, usually gendered and of the male variety with shirt and jacket cuff. Sometimes there is a lady-like frilly cuff and female hand. Apart from lavatories, there is rarely any correlation between the gender of the cuff ’n’ hand and what is being indicated. I stick out like a sore finger for all occasions. I can gesture towards literally anything worth pointing out. Who can account for my popularity and effectiveness? This year has been my year, the centenary of dada. I’ve been in constant demand, drawing attention to all manner of things requiring my helping hand. Pictured is a particularly fine example by Marcel Duchamp, Tu m’ (1918)
