All Nighter

[minestrone]

Staying up, just to see Jim Murphy getting knocked out.

I'd like to stay up but probably won't. IIRC not very much happens for the first 4-5 hours after the polls close. Except Sunderland South (?) declares in 43 minutes or less.

Nice summary here:

Staying up - yes for a while.
Chutney & spoons - definitely not.

Me.

So who's going to be transfied on their telly box tonight counting in all the votes?

Think I'll give it till about 01:00 as tomorrow will be same tulip, different day regardless of who is in power.

No point staying up, there is a good chance most of the counts wont be done till tommorow afternoon anyway. Huge numbers of postal votes have not been returned yet and the counting process for them is much slower as they have to check the signatures on the ballots against the proofs suplied when registering for them.

Postal votes have to be counted before the regular ones as well I think.

Probably watch the "Alternative" election night on CH4. Until about 12 when I shall fall asleep, dreaming of democracy and what could've been.

ftfy.

Well I'll be up - until I start to get bored. So could be early or could be all night depending what's happening. I even have tomorrow morning off just in case!

[thunderlizard]

yes - except being without an idiot box I'll put a DVD on in the left hand monitor and a relevant website on t'other.

Did consider going to Robin Ince's comedy thing at Bethnal Green Working Men's club, but sha'n't.

[HairyArsedBloke]

Not me, but I usually get up for a whizz in the middle of the night so i might switch on the telly and have a look.

Aye.

Need to head for the airport before 4am so might hang around for a bit.
