No. No, that's not your opinion.I am a stud and irresistable with the ladies. My opinion
It is a good resemblance though no?not everyone with a lazy eye (or pretending) is Thom Yorke
Nah Tilda Swinton
Ugh I'm four hours ahead this time, so will find out tomorrow
yeah, to an overweight Thom after a 5-day bender.
Getting nervous.
United need a goal to ease my nerves before the exit poll

Genuinely interested. What terrifies you about it?
Its the hope that kills
Regulars on this thread will know I was very against Corbyn. But also hated Boris even more. Through the continual arguements put forward by the likes of @Pexbo, @Ultimate Grib, @CassiusClaymore @Fluctuation0161 @SteveJ and several others, I came to realise that nothing could be worse than voting Tory and BJ. So thanks for your persistence and wisdom.
I’ve spent past week convincing perhaps as many as 25 people in my constituency to put aside personal interests and vote Labour. And just voted Labour myself. Ours could be a close call so hoping I made a difference.
I think the country needs a hung parliament so compromise is made between BJ and Corbyn’s visions. It might be painful and slow, but the country needs to make balanced decisions at this critical juncture.

Works fine for me.
It clearly isn't 'irrelevant' though is it as those who dont vote dont count. It is a real election not a who I think I want with the power of my mind.
It's like a Robbie Savage and Yorke lovechild.
I thought I was in the Utd forum for a minute.
Its not often you say no to a BJ.
Swinson majority coming up!
I always knew you were a good'n.
Also ITV themselves won't have access to the data until just before 10pm.
Only people who know are the exit poll team who can't send any data to the media til the very last minute.
Thank you @sammsky1, all jokes aside in the thread that means a lot if we have actually managed to make a difference like that.
I went to vote straight from work at about 5:00PM and there was a stream of people coming out (families bringing their kids). I was the only one there to cast a vote. After voting I heard the number 304 from the ladies at the desk. Could mean anything but suppose that's the number of people who turned up. 300 votes in 10 hours, 30 votes an hour...sounds pretty good turn out to me at my station which is a primary school.
Honestly, you had to me worried for a while these last few weeks
Well done @sammsky1 !
So as a Jew, what do you think will happen to you if for the sake of argument Corbyn has a small majority?
And in what way do you think it would affect your business?
Do you think a No Deal Brexit would have an effect on your business?
It's completely irrelevant, you know it is. It isn't the point you tried to make. You stated that the views of RedCafe are not indicative of the wider public and you are simply wrong on that. The wider public are left leaning. Maybe you meant to say 'the views of RedCafe are not indicative of the minority we are in fact in, but that just so happens to narrowly win in polls through higher turnout' most likely because it doesn't sound as great. Views and actions are two different things, but you made a statement about views and not about actions.
Terrifies me is a bit strong. I just hate Labour with the same passion you probably hate the Tories. You would never vote Tory would you? Even if they had the most amazing manifesto ever. I suppose voting is tribal to a large majority. Not many floating voters in reality.
Well played mate.
I do sometimes feel like I'm just ranting in this thread so thanks for the shout out!
Annoyingly I now live in the speakers constituency so couldn't vote Labour myself!
The political parties tend to start briefing the media around this time.
Ok mate you win. I havent the energy to go in circles.
That's very American.
But I'm 100% a floating voter, so is my GF and quite a lot of people I know. Each election I vote for who I think is best, or in this case, least worst.
I find the whole idea of lifelong support for a political party and not caring about the manifestos incredibly bizarre.
How did it start? Were you born with silver spoon inserted?
The first clerk on the desk has a numbered list of registered voters, when you hand over your card or say your name they shout that number out and the second person crosses it off their list so they have a double-check on the number of ballot papers handed out compared to the number of voters that have turned up. 304 would mean the 304th name on the list would just have turned up.
I am as working class as they come.
I would argue you are in the minority.
Its a bit like religion - you get indoctrinated and your views get reinforced by those around you who think the same.
I think you are right.
Which makes the whole thing even more bizarre to me. Political parties aren't sports teams.
