Just make sure you don't vomit all over her. Trust me, I learned it the hard way.

I'm fairly happyish with what the Lib Dems have wrangled out of this - not a lot of really big cabinet roles and some key policy compromises, but with junior Lib Dem ministers on senior Cons like limpets, a referendum on AV, Energy & Environment and Big Vince left to lay the smack down on the banks I think some good stuff could come out of this. PMQs is going to look odd for a while though.

Man, I've come down with the worse cold, my bones feel like ice. I'm making surviving work my only goal for tomorrow. Thank Christ I've only got a four hour shift. Hopefully I'll be through the worst by tomorow morning anyway.

It probably looks like an awkward pose to us because David Cameron doesn't actually suffer from those human foibles known as "emotions". I don't hate Cameron, I don't even hate the fact he's PM, but there's no getting away from the fact he's like a passive-aggressive T-1000.

Mandelson? Jesus Christ no. He makes The Sith look like The Samaritans.

Conservatives have apparently panicked and put a referendum of Alternative Vote on the trade table. Waddya think folks, deal or no deal? To share or to shaft? Honestly, I'd love it if a Lib/Lab pact would go further, but if that's what the Libs settle for in the end I'll take it. It's not nearly enough but I'll take it (for now). Clegg & Co seem to be playing their cards right.

I thought that was one of the best episodes of the series so far. There's that brilliant moment when they're sat around the table and they hear knocking on roof, which I felt summed up every reason I find Dr Who so glorious: "Not vampires... fish from space."

Good news everyone! I think boredom has become my very way of life, waking up day after day with my best prospect of happiness being able to forget I even exist from one hour to the next. For the love of Christ will somebody please set me on fire so I can occupy myself.

Here some good news we can all enjoy: the BNP have lost all of their council seats in the Barking Council vote in East London. At least there is some sanity in these islands. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/england/8668885.stm

I would much rather have a progressive Lib/Lab coalition but I guess that isn't looking like a viable option.
-
Nope, don't worry, D&G was held by Labour. Dumfriesshire where we are was also held by the Conservatives though. Goddamn English snooty retirees.
-
Seriously disappointed by the Lib Dem showing yet relieved that the Conservative haven't got it all their own way. Mixed emotions all round it seems.
-
So basically, nobody wins. Fantastic.
-
I think I'm going to call it a day - I'm going to go do what I do at the end of every day, go to sleep and hope against hope that something has changed by the morning. Something positive.
-
Ok, it's 1:27am. I'm now officially committed to at least 2am.

Using the BBC election calculator and inputting the N-E poll, assuming a uniform swing, the Lib Dems would have 643 seats, with the other 7 going to "other", 1 in Wales and 6 in Northern Ireland. If only.
-
Revised exit poll forecast is a little more hopeful. I'll start adding ice to this. Soda later, or even moving onto beer if things really improve.
-
Oi. I can see I'm going to need that scotch I've been saving.
-
Polls closing T-minus 3 minutes. Hold on to your butts...
-
Not that it isn't your free and fair democratic right or anything.
-
I'll definitly stay for the Alternative Election coverage and the first round of results at 1am, then I'll have to see how I feel after that. To eat or to throw?
-
Voted this morning, Lib Dem naturally. Saw a lot of cars queuing up to the community centre just now, looks like a high turnout this year.
-
Lib Dem for sure. Finger crossed for a hung parliament!

If Cameron's the British Obama then I must be a ferret. *scuttles off to slink around things*
