Hope this is ok, I was getting withdrawal symptoms!

You have my sympathies. He is a very slippery customer.

Let's not fight.

Can someone hold my wool?

BeenBeta · 11/05/2010 21:05

I can find only one Tory thread. They are all being restrained and anxious still.

Franca - 20 Euros? Just heard that protestors stormed the Irish Parliament tonight. Not sure the Euro is going to be around much longer.

GetOrfMoiLand · 11/05/2010 21:04

:adyB - please forget about it, or try. Avoid that thread. You have had a shitey day.

Don't want to row with anyone. I am emphatically not a libdem fan (never was before all this, always thought they were as underahnd as the tories) but am not going to have an argy bargy with anyone.

Hassled · 11/05/2010 21:04

Fucking, fucking hell. Fucking Harold Saxon is in situ. I'd recovered my decorum, had some wine and then watched the news again and it all hit home.

What were the reasons we had to be cheerful again?

Starting accusing each other of being closet tories on this thread is not nice.

I see trouble ahead.

PfftThePinkoLeftyDragon · 11/05/2010 21:03

I'm going for a bath.

If I drown at least I won't have to look at Hammy Hampants Hameron again

Francagoestohollywood · 11/05/2010 21:03

Oh I know Lindt, no one is comparable to Berlusconi, of course. I wish we had Cameron here instead of B and his clique.
It was just empathy with that feeling of lost, emptiness, being at the opposition, having to stand the RW media... it sucks

LadyBiscuit · 11/05/2010 21:03

I'm going to smoke tabs with GOML. It's all rubbish. I can't watch and had to turn the radio off. The last time the tories were in power I can remember the police using miners' and protesters' heads for target practice

theyoungvisiter · 11/05/2010 21:02

But I don't understand - how can they talk as if the coalition is a done deal?

They don't know if it will get past the triple lock. They can make all the marriage toasts they like, but they haven't even signed the pre-nup yet.

GetOrfMoiLand · 11/05/2010 21:02

No No of course I am not upset about the fuck off, no need to apologise (genuiine, not passive aggressive!)

Oh I am just pissed off. I know that lib/lab deal was a no go, and this is probably the best to have hoped for. But just gutted gutted to see the back of labour.

MmeLindt · 11/05/2010 21:01

Open the prosecco. Drink to Brown being a good man. The thread was nasty. I posted then hid.

ImSoNotTelling · 11/05/2010 21:01

I'm going to have to go to bed I'm worn out.

PLease don't have a row, lefties.

Fingers crossed that eggy drove a hard bargain.

SanctiMoanyArse · 11/05/2010 21:01

Well Soph that's true fro England but here in Wales there is a feeling of oh no we didn't vote in the Tories- and I hear the same in Scotland exists.

So I am anticipating a rise in plaid support if nowt else.

DavidHameron · 11/05/2010 21:00

I'm rofling at the coverage as the car turns into Downing St: cheers dubbed in background, woman in white coat giving massive double Thumbs Down!

onebatmother · 11/05/2010 21:00

I'm with you Getorf.

IMO - and I know that many will not agree, LibDem = ashamed Tory.

MmeLindt · 11/05/2010 21:00

Franca
I know I am not keen on DC but to compare him to Silvio is a bit low.

LadyBiscuit · 11/05/2010 21:00

I wrote a long post and it went awol. I've been an utter bitch but it's been a fucking shitty day. I've hidden the thread now. Rise Above It. I might crack the prosecco - it's all the wine I've got in the house but it's a bit wrong isn't it?

Heathcliffscathy · 11/05/2010 20:59

jesus getorf...you know what, the BEDROCK of libdemocracy is DEMOCRACY.

the general public voted labour out! there was no deal to be done with them. you have no idea what the deal is yet.

i'm sorry about the fuck off, thought we were friendly enough for it not to raise an eyebrow...soz.

WombFrootShoot · 11/05/2010 20:59

Simon Hughes looked BEYOND uncomfortable

The press truly rules the Country.

LetThereBeRock · 11/05/2010 20:58

I'll give it a try thankyou VioletQueen.You do have a point.

PfftThePinkoLeftyDragon · 11/05/2010 20:58

I am still holding out hope that whey faces Osborne does not get chancellor.

Is Obama getting his meat order in?

MmeLindt · 11/05/2010 20:58

lol at Franca offering euros to BeenBeta. Sneaky.

ImSoNotTelling · 11/05/2010 20:58

when do we get to hear about the deal?

libs met at 8.30 - maybe 10?
or will they wait until tomorrow (surely not)

violetqueen · 11/05/2010 20:57

letthereberock - keep repeating " poisoned chalice ,poisoned chalice " .
To yourself ,obviously .
