Tell that to Count Dracula. B-)

Quote from the book:
"4 May--I found that my landlord had got a letter from the Count..."

This is only one of multiple occasions where Count Dracula is addressed like that. The actual first name is never mentioned throughout the novel.

That does, however, not rule out the possibility that the character is named (title, first name, last name) Count Count Dracula.

Extra info: Despite being based on Vlad the Impaler (aka Vlad Draculea), it is never mentioned that the first name of the Count is actually Vlad.

And on my next TED talk I will cover how the name of Disney character Moana was changed to Vaiana in European countries to not get confused with former Italian adult actress Moana Pozzi, just to be named very similarly to former French adult actress Vayana. Thanks for attending.

It's apparently old news by now (I've been away for some days), but it's not less hilarious: as of current, Clacton now has THIRTY-FOUR candidates (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Clacton_by-election).
Among the known Binface, voters can now also vote for Howling laud Hope, Nick The Incredible Flying Brick and - I swear I'm not making this up - Woke Trump Carrzee. :rofl2:

In terms of winning against Farage, it's certainly not good news (unless one of those clowns changes his/her name to 'Nigel Farage' first ;) ). Those extra contenders will most likely only take away votes from Binface, so on that front it's not.

But did we really expect that guy to win? Farage is Clacton's territory, and...I have to admit I wouldn't exactly be voting for a comedian to rule MY local town (yes...I know. Zelensky's an exception, okay?). So despite a single poll putting the Count ahead, I don't anticipate that outcome if it were an actual election.

But it makes the upcoming result all the more lose-lose for Farage. Anything short of, say, winning 95% of the votes is like a losing popularity contest. And that IS a number that's nibbled at by this parade of extra wannabe-politicians.
