I was in bed at 9.58pm cos when I stay up late for elections or referendums they always end up being a disaster. Forgot to put my phone on mute. It went mental a few minutes later so i grumpily checked why people were messaging me and, well, then I scooted downstairs to watch the shit hit the fan on the big TV with a big grin on my face.

My brother came in to literally scream at me about how stupid and brainwashed students are before storming off practically in tears, and then I got Spice out of his tank and was telling him all about politics. Just me and my best furry friend hanging out and thinking a less bleak future was on the horizon. A beautiful evening. :sun_with_face: :blush:

Fully convinced myself we’re 'aving them this afternoon.
They wrote Corbyn off multiple times before, the EU elections, his own leadership elections, May - he always comes back stronger, we took away their majority and there’s nothing left for Tories to seriously offer people other than suffering. They’re going down.

Also feel like Tory efforts in the northern marginals are a load of hot air. Aside from the usual QT hams being loud but not necessarily omnipresent. I don’t think the North will stomach them.

I was in the States for 2017, was great being five hours behind, was fully up on what was happening and it wasn’t even late, got to text wind up messages to loads of people while they were trying to sleep, “Looks like the absolute boy has saved some lives tonight, fantastic news”, and trying to explain Lord Buckethead to my very confused father in law.

This is some good memeing. Also, if you leave it playing it’s kind of hypnotic. Might sample it.

I learned how to use my DAW’s sampler by doing the Everybody Dance Now riff but with Danny Dyer saying “Twat!”

A good and valuable use of time

Can’t wait until they declare themselves Scottish to access the European market as the pound dwindles into nothing on it’s 5th year of negotiation with Donald Trump’s haunted son

Kind of wish everywhere did it so we’d be done by midnight. Can’t be that hard to count paper. Winner gets an extra MP.

That’s what annoys me I think. Nobody else fucking does it so it’s pointless. Everyone or nobody! Hurry up Doreen and count!
