    It's strange isn't it though? How certain things, at certain moment, cause us excitement and then don't.
    I was watching the TV through yesterday - and, suddenly, at one particular moment, "it's under 36 hours away!", I got a bit excited - even though they had been saying the same much of the day and I hadn't previously. Now excited at a Jeremy Vine piece, even though one earlier in the day I just watched neutrally.

    It's very exciting:D:D. I'm excited - are you feeling it?:D:j:j:rotfl: Excited at the TV coverage of the election rather than necessarily the election and voting itself. Very exciting, last night, the 10 o'clock news, from the election studio:D again, and tonight as well but, strangely, strangely, a little bit less excited about that tonight. I don't know why - it's just, strange how things tug our emotions, whether a lot positively or the reverse.

    Evening all

    So tonight I decided to do my first APG shop since the 22nd April. Had a voucher for £9 odd to use, went to put it through, SA came to see it and said it had to be authorised. Fair enough says me. I stood waiting for 20 minutes :eek: to be told that I couldn't use it. She had spoken to HO and they weren't honouring any large vouchers as there is a glitch in the system. I asked how long it had been going on she said 3 days, I then pointed out my receipt was from the 22nd :p She then tried to tell me there wasn't 8 items on my receipt... and that the times didn't match as on the voucher it ended 00 whereas the receipt was 22. I did ask her to open the til and look at any other vouchers she had to see that they were all the same, but she wouldn't.
    [...]

    Define "large".
    Just "a" glitch? More than that I'd say. And only 3 days?:rotfl:

    What's prompting people's stores to speak to HO anyway? I haven't had any problems of yet (although, then again, I haven't been at £9 recently). Face it, though, if every store had just one member of staff contacting them, I doubt they'd have enough people at HO to handle that extra call volume!

    Anyway, Ten O'Clock News has just ended, with excitement:D, as Huw Edwards finishes, goes across the studio and pretends to be going to sit down at the desk at the opposite side:rotfl:.

    Hi,
    I know its really important...., but ill be soooooo glad tomoerow wen all the resulrs are in, becos im getting sick and tired of the news ppl interviewing everyone they can, and going over and over, disecting every snippet of the politicians.....I am really sorry to all the elite who are excited and are staying up for it all, but im tired of the overload and the hype.
    watch us on the bbc all the time.,,.., no, watch us on itv for better coverage....no watch us on all our news channels.yarda, yarda, yawn, yawn
    People bring great joy into our lives..some by arriving, others by leaving.im trying to be one of the former, so please bear with :)

    LOVE ME, LOVE MY NEWFOUNDLAND.:A

    Of course...I speak sense;)...

    One of them was supposed to be the alternative - with the Clash "London Calling" - Mr Salmond going to London to fight for the SNP. Did I post the same one twice? I'm just going back to check that!
  • Yea, just goes to show how low some people will sink to use their kids for political aims. Wholly inappropriate really forcing a young child to carry a banner !

    I think you've totally taken it out of context. :(

    I must say though, I never really liked her but she has grew on me immensely. :)

    Totally love this pic taken at the end of one of the televised leaders debate. :D:D:D
