I'll cry if I want to

The BBC news website excels itself with this election party pack. Party colour co-ordinated cocktails, suggested playlist, masks of the leaders (ergh!) but my favourite bit is the election bingo: "Each player has a bingo card; watch the BBC's election coverage and cross off your boxes as you hear the words spoken on the television." For example:

neck and neck
one poll matters
end of the day
middle england
spoil the party
bloody nose

Gosh it's like poetry.

Well, that's just crying out for one of those drinking games: take one sip every time Peter Snow says 'just a bit of fun'.

I had a flatmate from London who couldn't go a single conversation without saying "at the end of the day". I've since decided it's a citizenship requirement for the UK (but only enforced in England).

It's just occurred to me that one advantage of being geographically challenged is that I *don't* have to stay up all night to see the all night results coverage. :-)
