From miserable to everyone's favourite uncle in a fraction of a second.

Urgh....this clip makes me feel physically sick.

Does anyone know if the whole debate is online anywhere yet? I didn't see it and can't manage to find it.

Never mind! Found it already on the sky news website!

You can tell that this is a UK debate rather the a US one- Clegg uttered the words 'I'm not a man of faith' and nobody has gone completely ballistic over it.

"What? He's not religious? But that means he eats babies and has no concept of right and wrong!"

I thought one of the most striking aspects of the show was after the debate when we got an outside shot of the builiding hosting the whole thing...

Did you see the 'Sky News' projections that were being thrown up onto the side of the building? Absolutely fantastic - there were wrecking balls knocking lumps out of the building, sections of the building falling down and a whole host of other brilliant projections.....

I wonder if Roger Waters was watching - apparently he's touring 'The Wall' around North America in the autumn... these sorts of projections would make for a fantastic show!

How horrible would it be if Cameron won? It's not that I mind him, but trying to muscle pass a euro???

Sadly I missed this (I turned off, thinking that was it), but I had the pleasure of seeing video mapping in real life recently at gadget show live. It's pretty amazing what can be done nowadays, I'm sure the cameras did it no justice

Did anyone notice that the guy interupted Clegg and Brown every time they spoke and Cameron was only interupted once or twice throughout the whole thing??
I cannot say I am surprised that the supposedly 'unbiased' debate being run by an openly tory broadcaster still shows through it's support
And indeed the 'I'm not a man of faith' thing was the only thing unnamerican about it. Cameron's hijacked the
'Change we need' slogan and his whole argument and reply to everything was 'we need change conservatives are the only party to do that' 'How specifically are you going to change things' 'You know, we're going to make a change for the better, for the people, change. The other two parties are bad, don't vote for them. Finally... Change.'

The weather's nice today. In fact, it's been a glorious weekend so far.

I wonder which party leader will take credit for it?

Pete

"15% more sunshine under my leadership..."

'Do we really want 5 more years of Snow and global warming with Gordon Brown? With us you get real change, for the people, change.'

btw, my cerial went soggy this morning. Thank you very much Gordon Brown .

Nick Clegg's fault.

That was last week wasn't it? I heard he killed some hamsters too.

In prep for the upcoming debates, I've been looking at some of the 'alternative' parties and have found myself spending increasing time on the good old Monster Raving Loony Party's site (I miss Lord Sutch!).

I'd recommend a look at their manifesto....

Some of my particular favourites :

Wheelie Bins:
The idea of weight monitoring chips in wheelie bins should be scrapped, instead the wheels should be removed, this would mean that if people generated too much waist they could not put their non-wheelie bin out for collection. It would also help prevent them being chucked into canals

Needles
Due to the increasing number of children afraid of needles, I propose the destruction of the tedious, scary and often painful process of school vaccinations.
Instead, I propose that highly trained nurses should be given free reign on the playground with specially modified tranquillizer rifles which apply vaccinations as well as a tranquillizer. This would have two main benefits: It would be less scary for the children as they will not know what hit them, also it will be more fun for the nurses

One Sided Policy
It is proposed that The European Union end its discrimination by creating a "Court of Human Lefts" because their present policy is one_sided.

GCSE Lottery
It is proposed that, before the beginning of exams, the exam board will select a certain obscure phrase which will be kept secret. If any pupil inadvertently writes this phrase in any exam,he/she will automaticaly receive straight A* grades, and a free teddy.

Edukayshun
GCSE English exams be given a more straight-forward layout, with lots of
short questions like the Maths papers have.

Elecshun Lottery
It is proposed that people should have a free go on the national lottery when they go and vote
