A bit knackered.

I managed till 3.30am but then succumbed. Did anything happen...?


*G*

So, we are well hung and loads of people didn't get to vote. And the ash is back. Lovely!

The next few days look set to be interesting. Shall I put the kettle on?

ETA: Caitlin Moran has written the best column of the night; beautifully captures the gloriously dishevelled, giggling and slightly drunken confusion of it all.

On the off chance you're lookig for actual information...

:o) It means no one party has a majority, hasn't gained enough seats to form a government. It means coalitions are in order and they tend to be a bit of a disaster. It means we're almost certain to have to go through all this again in a few months time.

Hung means the same here, yes and believe me, the jokes have all already been made by about 7.00 this morning. :o)

Hung has a bunch of meanings here; only when you stick "well" in front of it does it almost always mean, well, yk. I'm thinking that's not the case in the UK? Because "truly hung" or "completely hung" would work just as well to describe the election results...

Re:Hung, well or otherwise.

Either or, here - Isn't the TV show just 'Hung'?

Truly/completely hung aren't familiar expressions to me, a hung parliament is just 'hung'. Either way, we're all buggered. *G*
