frankief Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Does anyone know what time the results start getting announced (GMT)? Tues night/ Weds morning? I am keen to do an all nighter and repeat the Brexit sensation when I enjoyed seeing plenty of broadcasters eating humble pie. But bearing in mind the time difference I am a not sure of the time schedule. I need this information so that I can arrange beverages, snacks etc. Or is going to bed adviseable instead?

Bossybabe Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Earliest possible if no problem will be 0400 GMT. I'll be in bed with the BBC World Service on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossybabe Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Yes. Have done for many years. In fact at one point when I worked in Bristol and commuted weekly to the Island, I couldn't sleep till I heard the report from St Catherine's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too - but the bloody national anthem always makes me cringe to such an extent that I sometimes have to turn radio off for a minute! Always been same since uni- used to have to be Long Wave at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I'd like to see similar stuff to brexit night as the American results roll in. Hoping for a trump win. The shock will be seismic! On brexit night I started watching expecting to a see remain win unfold early on then get off to bed. Instead the entertainment was so good I stayed up all night. Hilarious. Id like to know what time the show starts too. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyguy Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Do i need to set thd alarm? Or will the fleet of ICBMs flying to wherever wake me up? Any guess on numbers? 60/40 to Hilary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgul Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 East coast results around 2am will indicate how things have gone for Trump -- if there isn't a shock result then then you might as well go to bed and find out in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weekly. I drove. Car in Southampton, an old jalopy on the island. Was 2 hours when I started in 1988. Risen to 2.5 - 3 when I left in 1996. Worst commute was daily to london. Cat to soton, bus to train, train to Waterloo and tube to Paddington, walk to office. In the winter it was leave home at 6.30, return at 8 or 8.30 pm. I honestly don't know how I did it for over two years! The only advantage was that at busy times the cat let season ticket holders on ahead of the tourist hordes.

JoeDavola Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 In the event that Trump does win, you can bet there'll be some videos on YouTube within 24 hours showing the 'best of' in terms of horrified SJW's. We can but hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After listening to the 'message' for weeks that we were staying in, it was so funny to see the TV presenters struggling to inform us that 'the people had spoken'.

dgul Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 The US has a history of not publishing exit polls while the ballots is open -- which is a complication given the country spans different time zones... But it isn't a legal obligation on the media (unlike in the UK, say) but a tradition. Anyway, this year there are two exit polls publishing during the election -- one is at vicenews . Should start publishing data from 2pm UK time. (not sure exit polls will tell the true story -- 'eat my hat', etc -- but it might be interesting.) [It'll also be interesting to see how the markets respond during the day -- the big polling companies will be gathering data even if it isn't published, and I'd have thought that the big investment banks will have access to it even if the public don't, whether by fair or foul means.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashmonitor Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 They appear to call States by exit polls initially. Telegraph guide. Not sure it is worth staying up for, seems even more forlorn than Brexit. Seems that the Metro elite and Establishment are in for a great night tbh. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/0/what-time-us-election-results-uk-what-is-timetable-for-the-night/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Trump won it would be amusing for him to repeat this with eg, the Newsweek 'Madam President' edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunko2010 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Had planned on just waking up early and watching it but will probably stay up all night like I did on Brexit night, just to watch the leftie tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
