    Hey Annie, Marie et al. I am struggling to stay awake but am desperate to see the results. I have stayed up for every election result since I was a teenager, before I could even vote. My constituency is expected to be the first to declare up here. We have a Labour MP who is resigning, rightly so, he's been doing it for far too long, I would imagine there's a pretty strong chance they will retain the seat. On the news Arnold Scharzenegger has Tweeted congratulations to David Cameron already! Wonder if he's that quick off the draw in all aspects of his life? Are you a BNP supporter, then? ;)

    Mwe, I don't know what channel you're all watching but the BBC Scotland show is doing my head in!!! They are still campaigning, betting on my nerves, and do you kno what else? I'm fed up with all this negative politicking (sp?) Don't vote cfor them 'cos they're crap, they're leader's crap and we're better, but they actually don't do a good job of explaining why they're better. The wee Scottish Tory on the TV is driving me nuts. I can't see them getting the swing up here that he thinks they will. This is not OS at all, I am sorry.....

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped! Post of the Month
    Evening All

    Absolutely shattered tonight it took over an hour to clean up:(
    DS couldn't face his creme caramel after the chocolate covered cake smothered with maltesers (It was lushiousness itself :)yummmmmm ) So he will have it when he gets home tomorrow.

    Went to vote and lo and behold the outlaws where there and ended up coming round for a couple of hours - I don't mind I love both of them to bits and it meant that they could give DS his pressie in person - which he loved.

    Surprised to see that we did not have a PC on duty :( - we always did in a General Election.

    Well all I can say is may the best of a bad lot of choices win (hopefully not Conservative - we have a conservative council and they are Sh!te and we have one of the most expensive Council Taxes in the country :mad:)

    Well on that happy note Sleep well all - I know I will :)
    We can disect the Election tomorrow
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

    Do you have reasons for not naming your party? I for one would be interested to know which party gets you so enthused! And if our political views differ I'd still admire your passion!


    Not really, its just I wouldn't want to upset anyone.
    Anyway, given how things are going I may as well come clean. lets just sa
    I AGREE WITH NICK!!!!!


    Have been in the (previous un merged)party since i was 16(nerd eh?) My initial degree was in Politics(and history) and i loved every second.
    I can remember offering to do the washing up for ever if my mum would let me stay up to watch the election in 1974(when I was 11:o:o)

    JackieG :Dif you are not careful I'll come to the Glasgow meet ....then you will have problems lady.:rotfl:


    Feel sick.:(

    Speak later,

    Hope you have a better evening than I seem to be having.

    Blind as you run...aware you were staring at the sun.

    And when no hope was left inside on that starry starry night.

    It might just burst now, actually....Labour just got Washington? Huge majority. 11.6% swing. I did call the Tory I was previously speaking about I did call a worm as he is so squirmy, but I thought that was a step too far.

    Annie, you're a lot older than I thought. I thought we were the same age.
