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.

Heh! Brilliant. Can we organise this on-line? An LJ Election Night bash?!

[communicator.livejournal.com]

Hey - now that's a good idea. We really ought to do some live blogging on election night.

[matildabj.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. Because we're all going to be sitting at home shouting at the telly, right? So I reckon we might as well do the shouting where there's a chance someone might actually argue back...

Some of us have counts to attend... Not to mention the all-night bash at the Chorlton Irish club!

[communicator.livejournal.com]

Ah, real life, I remember that...

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Still waiting for it to arrive...

[Doubtfully] Are you sure politics counts?

There's always phone posts and text message posting.

Which is a bit one-way, I'll allow, but you can still keep us up to date :)

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Oh help, I haven't worked out how to do those!

[trixieleitz]

Oh help...

Recognising that that's an emphatic, not a request, I'll still point you at the relevant bits of the FAQ :)

Hm. Have tried doing that, but couldn't find an explanation anywhere of what to do about underscores in user names. I guessed a hyphen, but no sign of my trial message coming through yet.

Plus the BBC's "as it happens" web coverage is usually really nifty.

Oh, I'm not arguing with anybody, but poking fun at the telly and the politicians would be fun. I'll have to sort out my cables and things....
