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.

Oh yes - but I can see him in what will be the wee small hours in the UK wihtout having to stay up, on account of being in a time zone 8 hours behind the UK. :-)

Might have to settle for hearing him, though - depends what sort of video feed the beeb lays on for international users of the website. The broadband webcast of News 24 is subsciption-only for those with IP addresses outside the licence fee paying area.

Ah, I misread your first sentence! (On the lines of "Thank God I'm out of the country and won't have to suffer watching the coverage"!) It wouldn't be an election without Peter's Swing!

Indeed not. One teensy-weensy hiccough though - I've never viewed Peter's Swing in quite the same way since discovering slash...

(Insane giggling ensued when I discovered the Swing Game on the beeb website earlier today:-)
