[Politics] General Election 2019 "up all night" thread

[Notters]

Argh wish I didn't have work tomorrow.

 

[Guinness Boy]

That's pretty much exactly me too.

I just commented at home about how, normally, it will be getting light and the birds will be starting to sing. I'll be majorly wilting and turn in for 2-3 hours sleep. However, it will be dark throughout for this one.

I'm meeting [MENTION=236]Papa Lazarou[/MENTION] in the pub for a few beers and to watch the big exit poll reveal and the immediate fallout of that, so I'll not be joining the party here until a bit later.

Play nicely!

I've just opened a beer. I thought it was too early, given the length of time to go, but boredom and intrigue in equal measures have just kicked in.

Early beer means an increased likelyhood of early cheese and early bed. I might need waking up with a Bercow Bellow.

Not feeling confident that the country has the appetite to see off this hideous government, so I’m going to ignore it all, go to bed as normal, and have a lie-in, to hold onto to the blissful delusion of a progressive alliance, for as long as I possibly can

I was planning on turning in after the exit polls, but

I guess I can stay up for a few hours to slag off all you losers

I've just been texted the result of the exit polls. I'm not allowed to post the exact details online, but I can reveal that Labour have taken one hell of a beating.

I wasn’t going to booze, after a few pints at lunchtime. Your comment has reminded me of the bottle of lovely Hendricks sitting in the kitchen.

Sky’s coverage on already, just came live from the Brighton Centre count.

Oh God - it looks even worse than I’d feared. 1980s all over again if they’re right

 

[Chicken Run]

No

Don't think we'll be up all night then...

Night all

I thought I might get in trouble if I was seen to be releasing results early, so used the 'banter' defence.

 

[Soton Seagull]

The only good to come from this is a sensible bed time ahead of work in the morning.

 

[The Rivet]

Well now, not exactly the result most posters (it appears) wanted on NSC. Shame.

This. Was planning an all-nighter, but CBA after that. Turning in shortly.
