Brexit Arms: Election Night Lock-In

[GreenishMe]

Welcome to the Brexit Arms - it's going to be a stormy old night! We're about to be buffeted from right to left and back again with no real idea what the landscape will finally look like in the morning. All are welcome to weather the storm in the warmth and safety of the Arms - but please remember this a hospitable establishment so let's try and keep it that way.

We're kicking off the evening with our Back to the 70's theme night while we wait for the big main event to unfold. The juke box is loaded with all your 70's favourites. Feel free to dance round your handbags but please, no dancing on the tables…. this could be seen as having too much fun.

As always, we've got a nice big pot of PG Tips on the brew and Camp coffee by the mugfuls in addition to our usual alcoholic beverages.

On a serious note, we know that tonight's events are going to cause some upsets. With this in mind, the mint imperial bowls on the bar have been filled with Diocalms and we urge all our customers to make use of these. There should be enough to go round as long as nobody starts trying to stockpile. We simply cannot risk the need for plumbers to unblock our loos on Friday morning, as they could have been called out on strike by then.

Landladies on duty tonight will be:

20:00-22:00 Greenish (with Babychams, Cherry B's and vol au vents)
2200-midnight Twattage (with Classic Dmitris and cheeseboard)
Midnight-0200 Singing (with stiff brandies to calm the nerves, plus a selection of fresh nuts)
0200-0400 Hate (possibly with Albanian delicacies and a hangover cure)

We'd like to get the glitter ball turning with this absolute classic:

….fingers crossed similar scenes will abound in the Arms by the end of tonight. Enjoy!

P.s. When ordering drinks between 8pm and 10pm please supply your own drinks emojis. Thankyou!

I’ve switched to bbc, but Sky often have better coverage, I’m torn! Hate bercow! Argh!

I've had more than my fill of that jumped-up pompous democracy-denying little turd in the last three years and cannot bear to see his smug little face or hear his odious little voice again. So it will have to be the BBC.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yep!

I prefer sky but not with bellicose cow.

Not sure.

I remember referendum night, there was no one in rl I could share it with, dh being a remainer and everyone around me....

A poster called monsoon went to vote and told us her story, that was amazing to me... It was an amazing incredible night. We had driven through a monsoon that day to vote.

I went away the next morning, that incredible sublime feeling that the vote went our way... It was sensational.... I was shocked!
After all the rain, It was bright and sunny and clear. I was on cloud 9.

But, here we are AGAIN!! AGAIN!!

IN all honesty I should be on Something more calm like diazepam!

I heart Huw as well Autumn!

He's lovely

I hope we can all be friends too but if corbyn does get in, sends someone like kier who wants to remain to get a crap non brexit deal... Please, everyone settle in for decades more brexit angst and re votes.

I'll watch BBC for exit poll then flick between the two I think

“ I remember referendum night, there was no one in rl I could share it with”

Same here! And three men shouted racist remarks at me the following day.

I’m going to be brave next time and address the comment makers.

I was buzzing so much on ref night

I was awake for about 48 hours straight in the end - I was so hyped & shocked

20 mins to go
Am getting a knot in my stomach now

“But, here we are AGAIN!! AGAIN!!”

They were never going to let us have it were they? that was evident from day one. Democracy was only as good as those that ‘freely’ voted the ‘right’ way. It’s been a fight ever since. I’m hoping not to have to fight anymore, but I guess we will see.

I know this much, if we get Labour, I will boycott their sham referendum. My fight will die and that will be a sad day indeed.

👋 to Spadeo, Raise, Bat and all those who like me have delurked to say hi.
Singing I think I get your drift about Bercow. I know a lot of people not tuning into Sky for the same reason. Can’t say I want to see his aul bake (face) either.
Only 25 minutes until the polls close. Feels like New Years Eve, not knowing what the future holds, but hoping for the best. Not a big drinker as I’d be too tempted to drown my sorrows so I’ll have a one shot latte and whatever the rest are drinking. Here’s to accepting the results and making the best of them. 🍷🍸🥃

“Same here! And three men shouted racist remarks at me the following day.”

😡😡😡

Re “here we are AGAIN”

As I seem to have some cultural kindred spirits on here, are you saying that from the film, The Limehouse Golem?

I watched that film!

Can't remember references from it but remember I enjoyed it 😂

A lot of colourful leaflets though the letterbox over the last few weeks, each full of promise, offering very different tempting visions of the future, with a lot of numbers to try and think about and costs to consider. Are they true, are they fake, can they really deliver? But after a long and often challenging exchange of views, and a lot of personal soul searching, I've finally made my mind up.

I'll get a Chinese takeaway tonight!

Have switched over to Christmas Starz now - 'the A-List Sleigh List'

It's Jane MacDonald

15 minutes to close.
Exit poll will decide if I can be bothered to stay up. I'm already depressed, can't take much more.
Odds are increasing rapidly for a Tory majority, though.

I'm sorry autumn no! Not heard of that film...

One of my friends messaged earlier (he works out in Afghan at the mo) and said the pound was dropping earlier 😟

He's a former lefty & is now horrified that he's become a Tory

(He's my ex fiancé - we were going out with each other when Blair swept in to power & were dancing round the bop to 'Things Can Only Get Better' - halcyon days 😂)

Just saw that the odds of Boris losing his seat are 2/7 (Paddy Power)...

I shall be flicking around channels.

Good luck everyone. I hope we all come away with a belief in, and hope and capacity for, freedom of speech and expression. These have been trying times.

9.55pm.

My stomach is in knots thinking about it. Here we go!!!

Am on bbc 😩

Are the exit polls on each channel the same?

Feel sick with worry but we can, and will, get through. 🙏🤞🙏🤞
