Pondering, and while slightly more optimistic than we once were, still really quite unhappy Lefty thread

Where had we got to? We'd agreed that we all love Cameron, right?

Labour secret talks is a great twist. I've lost interest in the Archers since all this started.

This labour secret talks thing has injected a bit of excitement back

i thought con/lib was in the bag

Isnt

What are we going to do when they finally get it together. My days will be empty without this thread.

I;ve got a horrible mental image of hameron doing scary finger wriggling at me like edward scissorhands or freddie kreugar, and his fingers are big greasy bendy savaloys. and his big hammy face leering behind

is genuinely scary

thetoriesaretoast · 10/05/2010 12:23

Oh Lenin, I naively think that brotherly love overcomes all for Ed 'n' Dave - sort of like Two Little Boys by Rolf Harris. If Dave falls off the horse, Ed will help him up.

They are doing it by scissors paper stone.

Hameron is at a disadvantage as his fingers are made of chipolatas.

90 minutes is nothing. Lightweights. Bah.

I like this Labour involvement news - I'm more baffled than I was before but still. Mandelson can probably patronise them all into agreement.

SB follows me too.

Good info on Twitter, there have been some very funny comments about the election. It is great for breaking news.

ImSoNotTelling · 10/05/2010 12:16

oh bollocks must read before posting

sorry for x posts

am doing everything back to front as parents will be here any sec

FiveOrangePips · 10/05/2010 12:16

eek MmeL, that would be a sure way to keep me quiet!

I read the P&J when my mum is here, but mix between the Northern Scot and the Forres Gazette (which are weekly).

animula · 10/05/2010 12:16

Indeed, Lenin. Their mother must be both smug (in a right-on, Leftie way) and conflicted.

Penthesileia · 10/05/2010 12:15

MmeLindt! You are Twitter royalty!

I am a sort of Scot in exile too. Both parents Scottish, but military dad meant we lived all over the place.

Nymphadora · 10/05/2010 12:14

Am I going to have to join twitter ? Everyone is quoting it atm

MmeLindt maybe they think you are in the know?

"#
BREAKING NEWS

I can reveal that the Liberal Democrat negotiating team met over the weekend not just with the Tories but, in secret, with a team from Labour consisting of Peter Mandelson, Ed Miliband, Ed Balls and Andrew Adonis, says the BBC's political editor Nick Robinson. So far, I can get no official comment from either party about what was discussed. "

oooh, BBC Radio2 are following me on Twitter.

Which means I have to be witty or erudite or or or...

Penthesileia · 10/05/2010 12:12

You make it sound like a High School Prom, thetoriesaretoast.

MmeLindt · 10/05/2010 12:11

I have started reading the Dundee Courier online occasionally. It is rather amusing.

thetoriesaretoast · 10/05/2010 12:10

I suspect they spend more time in a huddle with their own side than face to face with the enemy. But even so, 90 minutes doesn't seem to be taking it all very seriously, does it?

I read 'I can get no official comment' as Mme Lindt had been trying.

I saw something thuis am about that group meeting with GB about standing down too...
