[prepares himself for an onslaught]

UPDATE:Some hilarious suggestions so far - some even true, but not the one I'm looking for.

UPDATE Thur 9am: Daily Referendum got closest. The answer is that David Cameron, Ming Campbell and I all go to the same dental practice. You really did come up with some hilarious answers though. And some highly insulting ones too!

  102. Menzies Campbell was the loser in three seats. David Cameron was the loser in one seat and Iain Dale was the loser in one seat. You have all been defeated on the Election Battleground.

    Alternatively, you all have Scottish ancestry.

    Probably you have all been signed up for a re-run of a very old comedy sketch.

    David Cameron (standing on a table) - I went to Eton. I am a descendant of William IV and Mrs Jordan. My father in law is a baronet. I am upper class. I look down on him. Looks at Sir Menzies Campbell.

    Sir Menzies Campbell (standing on a soapbox) - I went to Glasgow University. I am a Queens Counsel (senior barrister). I married a Major-General's daughter. I am middle class. I look down on him. Looks at Iain Dale.

    Iain Dale (slouched on Doughty Street sofa) - I am a blogger. I support "The Hammers". I love Margaret Thatcher. I am an "Essex Boy". I am working class. I look up to them (well, the upper class one at least).

  104. Did you know Iain that a Menzies Campbell - the only one with much going for him on eBay - was a Professor of Dentistry in Bonny Scotland? Edinburgh I believe. So it's not right about the vasectomy? The link to the eBay item has now gone, alas, but another copy is available here. Open wide.
