Went to the Co-op*, 4 beers for £7. McKewans Champion and Marston (and some Septics) Shipyard IPA. Yes, the strongest.
Oh, and bourbon.
And we watched two episodes of Dragons and Tits, instead of IT.
*Irony. I know they're not the same thing but...

I've still got plenty of Lidl vodka left. But I'm off to bed now. I've got a contract to sign at 09.30 tomorrow, I'll need some for breakfast.
Time for a big fat one.

I was watching some weird stuff on ITV a little while ago where they were looking at the seats that were predicted to be Tory gains, and discussing why those particular seats went that way, such as how leavy they are, and noticing those effects.Bird on a Fire wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 11:01 pmWe were.

The results aren't in yet! They're just reverse engineering the exit poll model and presenting it as news.

Re: Election night party
I'm watching all my lawyer pals on social media going on about moving to Scotland and then getting upset that they have to do exams. Suck it up.
Also I doubt it's going to be all sunshine and roses up here anyway given the Tories aren't going to allow another referendum.

Re: Election night party
It's worth stressing these northern results as they come in - they are amazing.
The working class areas of the north, totally trashed by Thatcher and never recovered, now falling to Tory gains. Mining areas voting Tory! It's unbelievable.

Indeed. And, fellow remoaners, it's over. We're out end January. Be sure to add 2 hours to your flight connections anywhere within the EU 27.

I’m in a complete “f.ck ‘em” mood. When the U.K. economy tanks and they get more impoverished and desperate than they are now, they’ll have nothing but my contempt. Brexit was a wedge issue appealing to base xenophobia, they fell for it. I hope they enjoy waiting years for their next damn doctors appointment.

Re: Election night party
Personally I'd been hoping that something had gone awry with the exit poll, somebody mangling a spreadsheet, worthy of the "sackcloth and ashes" thread, but it's looking obvious now how things are going.discovolante wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 11:35 pmOK I'm gonna be snarky just before I tell someone else not to be snarky but...

Re: Election night party
So after 40 years of having the sh.t kicked out of them by Thatcher's policy of deindustrialisation, compounded by a decade of pointless Tory austerity, marginally corrected by EU regional development cash, the (ex)Pit Yakkers have decided that the best bet for their kids' future is to post a flaming bag of dog shite through the letterbox of that Polish girl who works in the corner shop.Brightonian wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 11:34 pmBlyth Valley is a Conservative gain from Labour by a huge swing.

It's a great night for Farage. The greatest political victor of our lives.
He is a virus who got inside the Conservative cell and exploited its mechanism to churn out hundreds and hundreds of Brexit crazy MPs.

My night consists mostly of scrolling past the Guardian's begging letters to read second hand reports of what various obscure backbenchers make of the "not much happening" which coincidentally 100% matches whatever they were spouting at 21.59.
