Clegg indicated previously that Brown would need to go if he were to join up with them, wonder if he'll stick to his guns.......BIG Lib Dem majority just announced in Westmorland and Lonsdale where several of my friends voted tactically for them

Hiya Z, it's morning for you isn't it?

I really can't be bothered to read back....  I am soooooooo full....  hubby is in a food coma on the other sofa (I am reading that to mean he is a content birthday boy)...

the pressing issue I want to know is....

Is Zaph still coherent?...    or have the typo's and emotional outbursts started yet?

It's space cadet 1st class  

Cameron on TV any moment now... then it is reported that Clegg will make another statement 


Z.

I believe I am still managing periods of coherence


Z.

really Soops?   Do tell.....

Cheltenham has now declared. Going against the national trend, Liberal Democrats have been re-elected beating the Conservatives with a 4.3% swing to Lib Dems.

As we speak I can see Z wandering past with his faithful hound, complete with laptop, dongle & mobile so that he can carry on forumming. Watch out, Z, you'll falling asleep and almost walked into that lamppost!

oh good... I was worried I'd miss the downhill spiral into jibberish!

I know

this is why I'd like the way votes are counted to be changed...   I'd love to know the grand summary....  the final totals of how many people in the UK voted Lib Dem, Labour, Conservative etc

Happy Birthday Mr. Ditty

Pretends not to see this 

God help me! I am so weary If it wasn't wrapped up with my career I'd have turned the telly off 2 months ago!

still.... on the plus side... my dad was very proud when I went round earlier... he was looking at the telly and there was the map of the country up.... and a huge big blue bit with a tiny yellow pimple in it.... and that yellow pimple was his bit...  

he said he felt like General Custer  (he's retired...  he gets excited about these thing... he was happy.. I indulged his rebellious fantasy)

Conservative					10,585,499	36.2	+3.8
Labour					8,483,876	29.0	-6.3
Liberal Democrat					6,740,694	23.0	+1.0

Z.

*sees the  & is well chuffed for Soops*

Bloody hell Z....

can't you mess with those numbers to cheer me up a bit

They just told us on BBC but I forget what they said!...Labour and Lib Dems got nearly the same, Conservatives a lot more...Only problem with those figures 'though is it doesn't take into account all of the tactical voting

Z.

Soops broke it to me in a much gentler way!

So on that basis a Labour Lib-Dem coalition would represent 52% of the population, sounds good to me

Cameron spoke for about 10 minutes and managed to say nothing! Good job!

No 52% of people who voted which is a lot less


Z.

Oh, and whoever said what a terrible dress Mrs.Clegg was wearing, ain't that the truth

 Nobody has a clear mandate. We need something less intellectually challenging like a dance off or paper/rock/scissors.

the man has a gift

Well, if people can't be bothered to vote then I don't count them, nor the ones that spoiled their ballot, (aware that some didn't manage 'cos of the cock ups at the polling stations- do we know how many actually lost out on their chance to vote?)

Oh, and whoever said what a terrible dress Mrs.Clegg was wearing, ain't that the truth....ref ; soops


I thought that was Sam Cam (??) Senora Clegg had a lovely trench coat on from what I saw.

hasn't stopped the BBC from analysing his poop speech though.

Well we might be doing all this again well inside a year

Z.

I switched off...please don't say I'm going to have to put up with that for potentially 4 years

OOPS, that's what I meant to say...I'm tired, may have to go for a nap shortly!

Hmm, its the spending cuts thats put me off backing conservative, that seems to be the only issue I have with them.


And also the whole prawn sarnies thing

but his meaningless sounds are fantastic for them.... makes their experts look expert...   and gives them a free reign to reach the conclusions they would most like to hear!

*wishes yet again she could opt out of the license fee*

Your man in a v v powerful position now though Ditty

Who knows? It is a scary idea...however under his rule, we can open a pub and just be drunk for the rest of our lives

Lightweight



Z.

yep ditty....they are discussing the meaning of ambiguity now.

yeah.... but only in a "are you bringing your ball out to play" kinda way!

Time to walk Rufus.. see... I have not neglected his walks


Z.

*hyperventilates*...   there are no words!
