I have a whisper but in truth, no-one knows a thing until the votes are counted.

policywonk · 02/05/2008 22:01

sm - no, no whispers. I appear to have something with a greater than usual number of legs in my wine glass though.

fox - I don't think so - i think all the votes get redistributed don't they? PR and all that. Not sure though.

DefinitelyNotMARINAWheeler · 02/05/2008 22:01

Well, come on, whisper away, it's just us here

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 22:03

they must have been marina....it's closer than I thought it would be (in that borough)

if you look at the 6 that are in, ken actually got the majority 1st pref in 4 of them but the number of votes give it to boris

i'm pregnant, i can't get drunk; i don't have a laptop, so i'm sat in the hallway. this is hard work, but too addictive to let go

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 22:05

no, I'm right policy

1st votes count only if one gets 50%. otherwise, the top 2 go through and the 2nd counts of everyone else (who didn't vote for the top 2) are counted.

I hope you have chocolate at least then merry
I may have to sign off soon as I appear to have run out of booze

I thought we had to wait until the fat lady sings or somehting.

As for bendy buses - try getting on the no. 29 without being pickpocketed or seeinf peopel jump on without paying.

(wobbegong, you are my dc favourite shark )

PW beastie in yer wine?dinnae worry the alcohol will anaesthetise the wee bugger (and you)

DefinitelyNotMARINAWheeler · 02/05/2008 22:08

My final thought - we may end up with a Mayor who shagged Petronella Wyatt

policywonk · 02/05/2008 22:08

Is that info from Sky foxy? because it's all lies you know.

scottishmummy · 02/05/2008 22:08

29 is the maddest bus ever packed full squashed up wiv da wood green posse

MerryMarigold · 02/05/2008 22:09

isn't petronella an aromatherapy oil?

DefinitelyNotMARINAWheeler · 02/05/2008 22:09

Nothing like as useful

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 22:10

LOL policy. I LOVE people who don't have Sky. We have lots round here. The husbands all sneak round on Sunday afternoon to watch the footie

scottishmummy · 02/05/2008 22:10

nah is it not the stuff that kills beasties

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 22:10

poor marina

I think you need a soothing hot toddy you know.

You may have to change your name permanently.

scottishmummy · 02/05/2008 22:12

i dont have sky either - too stingey

DefinitelyNotMARINAWheeler · 02/05/2008 22:12

I can feel my head coming to a point fox. It is indeed all too much.

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 22:12

where's policy?

I hope someone is going to stay up. Results in only after midnight now.

Other more important election results in today in Zimbabwe. Good old Morgan .

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 22:14

a pointy head and being married to Boris. It's all too much marina .

What name can we give you marina? let's give you a Latin one (or is that too Boris esque)

MerryMarigold · 02/05/2008 22:14

was morgan allowed to win? i haven't seen the news today...

policywonk · 02/05/2008 22:15

I'm here. Keep 'em coming. Which constituency is Richmond in?

How this for desperation: I so much wanted to vote yesterday that I asked my mother, mortally ill, if she wanted me to vote for her. She gave me a steely look and refused. She would have wanted to vote Ken though...

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 22:15

Yes. The official result. No outright winner though so there should be a run off (sigh). Though I'd bet my house that there was an outright winner grrr.

Mercy · 02/05/2008 22:15

SM, it was ok until it became bendy!

btw I love it when you talk in your accent iyswim
