Haha i love the one about needles.

Im actually really annoyed now, i caught up on all the election stuff quite late and neither of my parents thought it important to remind me to register my vote before the 20th.

Im pretty sure i wont be able to vote now as i think i sent the form off on the 20th or the day before :/

Which is really, really annoying.

Well, that's all the debates done, then.

To summarise:

Debate One:
Holy Sh!t, where did that guy in the yellow tie come from???

Debate Two:
Let's stick the new kid in the middle and pick on him in the hope he'll run crying to mum.

Debate Three:
Okay, change of tactics: let's get back to squabbling between ourselves and ignore mr geeky goody two-shoes.

Whichever way you look at it, these debates were about the arrival of Nick Clegg in the public eye, and the other leaders' reactions to him.

Regardless of who wins the election, I think Clegg has reaped the biggest rewards from these debates.

Maybe it really is all about the hokey-kokey after all!

Cameron appears to be thinking, 'Time for a change....of career...'

It was interesting to hear on Five Live yesterday that experts are sayng this is a very good election to loose as whoever wins will have such a tough and unpopular job to do that it will alienate them for a generation.

^ I heard that too. Sort of got lost in the hype and buildup to the final showdown didn't it?

Mervyn King gave a US economist chum that little nugget last week, who blabbed to the Australian media.

All I have to say is... I think BBC trumps Sky when it comes to branding - why have one big logo in the background when you can have at least one in every shot? :)
