@Jorence Oooh, not sure I remember that one. I had the audio version of many of them, but I think they skipped bits that were very visual.
Hmm. BBC1 now seem to be using a large Apple-style device, presumably called the iGuess. #ge2010
daev I can’t wait to see the results of the British election. I hope Susan Boyle wins this time. #ge2010 /via @MWhi
@chris_j_hughes Naturally.
@tsunimee Awww, thank you, chérie.
Eric Pickles appears to be spontaneously forming a Twitter fanclub.
@Jorence That’s only because you get four years to forget what the last load of coverage was like :)
One thing’s improved: I remember when we actually had to listen to the ditchwater “thank you” speeches from the winners.
Giant. CGI. Dominoes. And yet @MitchBenn doesn’t get a cab home from The Now Show. The BBC is spending its money in all the wrong places.
@chris_j_hughes Didn’t see much of Brooker. Like his writing, but never even knew what he looked like until a couple of days ago…
@chris_j_hughes I put up with that shite as long as I could, but I had to switch it off in the end.
@goswoppit Funny you should say that. No matter who gets in, if they break the BBC and Radio 4 in particular, I’ll sodding kill ‘em.
Hmm. Trying BBC1, but the annoying paving stone graphic is just making me wince.
@djelibeybi_meg Possibly not. If I get any more Amazon stuff delivered to work this month they’ll probably give me a pay cut :/
@djelibeybi_meg Fantastic stuff. Should really buy the DVDs; had them on video at one stage…
@RichNeville Do they?
Well, I stayed with the Channel 4 alternative election coverage until the first ads. Maybe I’m not in the mood, but that seemed dreadful.
What? All these extra channels now and they’re not showing that Blackadder election episode?
Who’d have thought there’d be this much anger in Clifton Village? http://flic.kr/p/7Z7dzR
@tsunimee Hmm. Looks like the first hit on that search is “grumpy old men”! Is that a deep observation on gender politics, d’you think?
@seengee Yeah, but I have to get to the results page before I can use the “pages from the UK” option now. Which slows me down.
@ratsass Well, so do I, but I don’t want every bastard doing it.
@xlearn http://twitpic.com/1lklqb - Hah! Go back and get a really good quality photo of this while it’s still li
RT @jamesclay: RT @xlearn: Voting instructions http://twitpic.com/1lklqb <— Hah!
Luckily, I had good training in elections from my parents. Who, erm… met when they were in the Young Conservatives. #yesreally
@TheLloydClan …so I don’t think I could accuse her of being underhand.
@TheLloydClan The only one at our station was wearing so much orange she could’ve been a Lib Dem Hari Krishna, plus a rosette…
I don’t mind poll station tellers per se, I do mind really shifty ones that persistently evade simple questions (vid): http://bit.ly/a0U2Ps
@ilovetypography Erm… Did you try calling them up or mailing them? Normally find them pretty responsive on issues like that…
@bexxi shame you’re not here. Sure one of my local candidates would nip to the garden centre for me if I said it would secure my vote.
@tsunimee It’s not really a shortening. Tories were around before Consevatives, it’s just a historically-based convenient abbreviation.
@AlasdairStuart Oooh, forgot I’d videoed Luther. Something else to look forward to.
@hannahnicklin I thought about it, but just assumed it would be illegal, so didn’t bother. Probably wouldn’t have posted it anyway, though.
_Please_ tell me that UKIP plane crashed because they ignored a European health and safety rule…
@dailybooth Will the RSS feeds be back with them?
@Stephanie_Gunn Hmmm. Are you stroking a White cat? Because my first guess would be that you live under a volcano.
@Dichohecho I nearly got in and started looking for the coin slot!
@bexxi The BBC World Service will be covering it.
@BradleyLaw Democracy? Fairly strongly, yes. I believe it’s generally held to be better than the alternatives, anyway.
@gary8345 It’s a website I should post to a couple of times a month, but manage a couple a year. Maybe next year…
@gary8345 For a fuller explanation, see my article here. http://allthosekeys.com/… :)
@gary8345 Option-3.
Aww! Didn’t realise the council had started buying their rubbish trucks from Duplo! http://twitpic.com/1lgk9j
@tsunimee Ha! Never knew: “The word derives from the Middle Irish word tóraiche; modern Irish tóraí: outlaw, robber”!
@tsunimee No. Way earlier than Victorian.
@tsunimee Yeah, my day is rather crawling, too. Sigh.
@tsunimee Yes.
@kshack22 Oh, is _that_ what they’re doing? I honestly didn’t realise.
@hayles Hmm. Without getting them help for their self-esteem issues, it’s probably impossible.
Well, they didn’t make that easy. But I have now voted. http://twitpic.com/1lgdgp
@Jorence Only because the Monster Raving Loonies are no longer so popular.
Morning all. It feels like a nice day to go and put a cross in a box.
@libbymiller Tired as a newt, to quote Sir Humphrey.
@marcusbrig What? Where? Is that on TV?
@Pockless Yes, well let’s enjoy it while it lasts. I may go to bed now, because it’s going to start getting depressing soon.
@benjohnbarnes I turned up without a ballot paper because I never got one. Then they took a good few minutes to sort it out. Grr.
@Pockless That’s Sinn Fein and the DUP.
@benjohnbarnes *prod*
@talkie_tim That’ll be Sinn Fein, dear.
