ofReebs;1994181]I've got meetings in London so will have to 'Do The Biz' once I'm home off the train this evening. I'm looking forward to watching Sky Art's coverage of the behind the scenes of the Election results programme Sky News will be putting out.

Often this is far more entertaining than the actual show itself [/QUOTE]

Well mr murdochs channel won't be on my set Paul, I wouldn't trust him to tell me if the light was on, I do agree that it will be entertaining regardless of channel, I suspect we be watching the demise of first past the post system and overdue, I hope this post will remain as my lone view is unlikely to have any effect on the outcome of the overall election carpe diem

Ubuntu?

That's my computer operating system

Vote done but since the last election I've moved from one 'safe seat' to another 'safe seat'

We did have a Loony though

Yes, I voted a few hours ago...

I love the way we all feel united in this little Kingdom of ours - so let's forget about Scottish independence and have a party...!!!

Thumbs up

I have done my vote, I get a postal one as I used to work away and wanted to make sure I got my say. I have never changed back.

I also convinced the 20 year old lad that works for me to vote for the first time as well, he did ask who he should vote for, I said that it doesn't really matter as long as he voted. Hopefully he will be more interested in the future, all about getting the young to turn up so many cannot be bothered. He was in the polling station for all of 50 seconds, "didn't realise it would be that easy" he said
