Well I'm still hopeful. If we're going to be under Tory rule it's not so bad now they are neutered. A great man/woman will rise from the rank and file of the truly considerate Labour (or Liberalish) lot and we can get rid of the bogus caring Neo-Cons again

I go out for an evening and just look what happens

That's my take on it too Suzy. (once the wailing had stopped)

I managed to watch Cameron enter number 10 without snarling.....so that's a good start.

 Hi there Rexi Did you have a nice time?

I did indeed thanks

I just can't believe I have been here every night since Thursday waiting for something to happen ... then I go out for a few hours and it's all changed

Murphy's law Rexi But glad you had a nice time...

We're NEVER letting you go out again Mrs!

I've got this horrible image of 18 years. With me lungs the way they are, I won't even live long enough to see Labour back in Government.  

I managed to watch Cameron enter number 10 without snarling.....so that's a good start....ref: ducky

 Ducky....I was changing a nappy (not mine)

Or alternatively.... couldn't you have gone out sooner... and saved us all watching 24 hour news for the last 4 days

shurrup, you'll be fine

Once I'd seen GB make his resignation speech I found it a lot easier to leave the telly behind ..... I suddenly felt like it had all gone flat.

What's worse is I didn't recognise  one of the people on Newsnight - I guess all of the important ones are busy

In the interest of forum harmony I won't comment on any possible appropriateness.

Another hug needed over here in Hoochies corner!

Would you just shut up - you are going nowhere woman

No...  double hug Don't talk like that

aww hoochie

Me too hoochie .. it was fun while it lasted, wasn't it?

I suppose we've gotta get on with the old running the country malarky now

Don't be daft! I did have a quick add up to see how old I may be earlier though.

Breaking news....they have formed a new govt. and Danny Alexander (LibDem) is confirmed as new Sec. of State for Scotland

I was crying, but that's just me being sentimental about my socialist roots. I remember so well how I felt in 1997 when Labour got in. I'd been in Britain for 18 years and only experienced the Tories. It was one of the best nights ever and I really hope that they have changed, but I don't believe it,.

Suzy  I hope so.

Nick Clegg is Deputy PM OMG

I must admit I had an OMG moment there too

I need to sit glued to the news for a few hours and catch up ...

Size 7 actually

Gotta say Gordon's farewell speech blew Cameron's 'JFK wannabe' one out the park...Go Gordon

Yep......

*decides not to comment*

  Ducky, suzy, rexi .... I cried tonight .... and I'm a bit inbretatediated now so I'm not best placed to express myself now .....but thanks for the kind thoughts.  This thread has been brilliant in that clearly lots of us have different views, but we've all been able to post and say what we felt ....shows the best of what the forum can be.  I never normally post in potentially serious threads but this one has been lovely.

Did Sam Cam have that same purple frock on...but with a belt?

*** snogs hoochie ***

I may have had a drunk too.

I'm the same, but I stayed up most of last night listening to Radio5live, so I'll be sleeping in tomorrow. And btw. thanks to all of you telling me to shurrup.  I just feel a bit of self pity now and again and need you lot to pull my socks up.

Her Maternity dress? Yes.

And she still can't open car doors - worrying.

I agree Hoochie.....

It has been lovely hoochie...that's because people are lovely (when we learn to respect other people's take on things) I'm a tad tiddly myself now, and I will suffer tomorrow but well done everyone in this thread. It's been a blast...and Zaph

She likes her purple does that girl!

I may have had one too (or two!!)

And I agree hoochie - It just goes to prove that we didn't need that sort of heavy handed C4 moderation - that we can come from all sides of whatever spectrum and respect each other.

However - baz told me to tell you she was right all along ... so neeehhhhhh *runs*

Very true and nice and lovely and I've just had a tiny little drink too.  Still true though.

*** tells cologne to shurrup - better late than never ***
