Valiant and proud lefties election night thread

[MarionCole]

thanks onebat and HELLO 100x

to be honest I can't see me lasting long tonight

dh is already asleep

My resounding memory from 1997 is the picture of Cherie Blair when she opened her front door the morning after.

I've found some Doritos in the garage.#

In a sealed package, naturally.

I had just moved in with DH in summer 1997. First flush and sex without babies. It was a thrilling time.

This one

I really want to stay up late but it's a big day at work tomorrow with an end of year meeting and a treasure hunt. Urgh.

I think I will try and sleep between 1am and 5:30am and then just get a very early night tomorrow. Oh and I have exams to revise for next week, hideous timing all round really.

it's KayHarker!

1997 - I was at the end of being 17 - we were clubbing til 3, back at houses drinking and watching the polls and then carried on to the next day.

these days, with children, not even sure I will make Sunderland.

Hello all, hope it's OK to join you - have pointlessly voted Labour today in a completely safe Tory seat, but I have always had a soft spot for an underdog.

I'm also a unrepentant leftie and Labour are, despite my misgivings about some of their actions in government, the closest to my ideology.

I have a very very bad feeling about this evening. It will be made worse by vile Tory DH being smug and shoving pictures of George Osbourne in my face.

Haha Marion, that is fab. Hungover?

So true beachcomber,

GB just does not fit into the celebrity culture, it makes me so angry. I don't want my PM to offer sychophantic smiles and no substance.

Celeb culture - WTF was Simon Cowell doing on the front page fo the Sun yesterday, aaargghhh.

Do I know you Cappster?

Yes you idiot it is me, Cappy

yuck, Marjori, is he does that I think you can do a Danny Dyer and cut his face.

So glad to hear he is a good 'un from someone in his constintuency.

Jeez, they don't expect Devon North to declare till 4am. Going to be a long night.
Right, two out of three children in bed, just got to sew ribbons on three pairs of ballet shoes and I can hit the wine. Red, of course.

Crewe & Nantwich is 4am too. Can't see me lasting, especially as DS will be up at 6am wanting to go swimming.

Ah hello Lunatic, good stuff.

Hello cappy

Rosette, it was quoted in the Guardian today

Devon Central isn't til 5am. I can't stay up til them. am feeling old. I might pretend I'm in Exeter where it's 2am. we live very near to the boundary line...

Pfft - We nearly came to blows on our trip to the polling station. DS was asleep, so thankfully didn't witness his mother calling his father a 'fucking Tory wanker' and his father calling his mother a 'left wing traitor'. We love eachother really.

Ah Cappster, thought it might be thee - was just angling for a few cliquey clues.

Now I just need the warm fuzzies about the election...

Also glad to hear that Cameron comes across as a lightweight, thanks for that Policywonk.

I feel unable to provide warm fuzzies, sadly.

Think we may need the double strength Swiss chocolate tonight.
