juvenal Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I've got the telly, beer, the grub and the armchair, and I'm aiming to go all the way through! Am I on my own here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpewLabour Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Probably going to last till 3 or 4am. Waiting for that "Portillo" moment.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19 year mortgage 8itch Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Not this time. They do not deserve the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptherebels Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Sort of sad thing I'd normally do, but have a long day tomorrow starting at five AM, so will probably go to bed early and get up about three to catch some of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battenberg Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I keep telling them all in my house that I intend to stay up all night but the truth is I rarely get past 10.30 without dropping off so it's not looking likely. I shall do my best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karelian Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Hope to make it 'til past 3am. Is there going to be main thread somewhere for all the chit-chat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronyx Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Now it seems it's Lab/Con neck and neck I've lost all interest. Work tomorrow anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horridbloke Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 We don't get to know our overlords tonight. There won't be a majority and it'll be up to four days of haggling before another unholy alliance is annointed. (This prediction may look really stupid by breakfast time but heck....)

The Generation Game Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I'll try. I am an hour ahead so it'll be tougher than normal. May be some interesting swings but it'll go to extra time. Only option I have is Sky News <shudder> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EUBanana Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Pizza, beer, whiskey, chelsea buns, I am ready! whether I have the stamina to last the night, that's something else. The mind is willing but the body may be weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTMark Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I sat up for the 1997 one. This time I can't be bothered. Though the poll they have on the BBC seems surprising, as all the panellists are commenting. I couldn't be arsed to go and spoil the ballot paper in the end, I just had a little sleep instead.

DTMark Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I have this streaming on the other monitor. Someone from Sunderland apparently called Bob Dylan? Ed Balls speaking. Jeremy Vine and some graphics superimposed on the ground showing the 'way to number 10' in a sort of John Craven's Newsround style of presentation. I can see why people have gone past caring.

Much preferred the graphics of clothes peg figures filling up the green benches as used in coverage of elections long past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTMark Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Neil Kinnock on now. "The country needed a government with commitments to housing, to jobs for young people" Well, that wouldn't be Labour then would it. Pimping debt and pumping the housing market to get tax from the City to buy votes with, and unchecked immigration shafting young people were core policies. This tribalism and inability to see facts is staggering. Orwell would have been proud of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I could not believe just how disconnected Kinnock is with reality. I think that they run on a sort of auto pilot saying certain things without thought, a bit like driving on a long journey. When actually confronted with the truth, they cannot recognise it. Milliband is toast now, as is Nick Clegg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to switch over before they wheeled Kinnock out. I have a delicate stomach. Shall be up for a few hours yet - plenty of coffee and a slice or two of toast and Marmite. Or maybe I'll go mad and make it blackcurrant jam. Mr B has gone to bed. I said go on then, you boring old bugger. There is some blonde Yank-sounding woman on ATM who sounds just like the cupcake queen on Ballot Monkeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porca misèria Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I ain't stayin' up. Lyin' in bed with Radio 4 election coverage. It's horrible, but addictive. Bit like HPC, really. Oh, and hoping against hope Balls loses his seat, so he's out of the running to replace Miliband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
