I shudder to think what you'll make of the French Presidential run-off, though at the same time, part of me wonders whether Trouble Every Day will be involved.
“11:23 pm: Okay, the country music is starting to get annoying.”
Enjoy while you can - if the Salmon gets in it will be nothing but the sound of swirling bagpipes morning, noon and night!
Extraordinary account. My live blogging (if I had a laptop and was allowed to take it into the count) would have looked something like this.
10.15pm A big black box full of bits of paper has just been emptied over the table.
10.20pm Someone tells me I have to put ticks into a grid, to try to count the count before its been counted.
11.30pm All done! All boxes emptied. Everyone back tomorrow for the real count.
No one is really bothered by the bits of paper I tried to count. This was in the south-east, so no where near as exicting as north of the border obviously.
Once again, Scotland's media has proved itself to be fundamentally biased.
They're all trying to make out that the Scottish Nationalists won, when I saw them all get beaten senseless and have their bikes crushed to bits with my own eyes.
This institutional bent towards biker gangs is a major failing in Scotland, and I'm amazed that it's gone unremarked thus far.
When will we see Gordon Brown pontificating about WMD in Scotland?
This is rivetting stuff, FR. Mr Eugenides could take lessons from you. And the Scots, I believe, had the most efficient counting system in the UK, didn't they?
I must have been watching a different election. Well, I'd never realised Edinburgh was quite so high. In the clouds! Then around midnight, this bloke tells Alex Salmond he's his dad and they fight until Alex gets his hand chopped off and jumps off the top of Edinburgh Castle. It was wicked! I got through five rolls of cookie dough.
Oh man, you guys have ALL the fun! All we get here are morons in flight suits (though the giant codpiece was rather amusing) and fat squids (not to diss squids) cozying up to some Queen in an ugly hat.
Focus is up.
Your lucky, all I got was five Thai guys arguing over a woman (car, something..), then they had big fight with sticks, then the girl dies, or the car crashes and the police kill the five guys in the jungle.
Just goes to show what happens when you elect the Nats!
