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.

Great article! I checked the BBC site about midnight our time. Startled me a bit because there was pre-dawn light.

You all have taken too many lessons from American politics. First the debates, then hanky-panky at the polls. On the one hand you get it over with pretty fast. But doing it all again in six months would kill me.

I don;t think it was hanky panky so much as sheer bloody incompetence! They simply weren't expecting such an enthusiastic turn out - and a lot of people simply left it too late. I foresee all kinds of legal wrangling though, especially with the vote being so close in some places, recounts all over the place. Ed Balls (government minister) barely scraped in by 100 votes, Glenda Jackson by only 42. Like I said, it's going to be interesting for a while.;o)
