Being type 1, my health and what really grates me are false people who make themselves out to be something when their not
Well as someone who for the 1st time in their voting career hasn't got a clue where to stick the X I've decided once I have stuck my X on the ballot paper I'm going to stay up and watch the coverage through the night (not sure which channel) so I thought it would be a good time to do nighttime basal testing as I shouldn't get too excited to raise or lower my sugars dramatically, so is anyone joining in the fun? I normally only sleep apx 3-4 hours a night.
 
If it were me then no, I would not basal test as it's not what you would normally be doing so doubt the accuracy of the test.

Did think that but I still think the entertainment value would be good to watch !!

One time perhaps, but I like my sleep too much now :)

Interesting that they say both Labour & Conservatives are now level in the opinion polls according to Sky News, to close to call who will get most seats and who will join who to form a government.
 
Exactly I feel a sense of adventure coming on

Trouble is we will be none the wiser come Friday morning, it might be next week before we know who the next party/parties will be in government.
 
Shame it's not like football extra time then penalties, the thing is we could all be paying a penalty if the wrong group get in.

They are, but it's who makes the biggest promises then breaks them they've all got qualifications on that score

Its what they do best ;)

Moved your thread to general chat as its more of a light hearted discussion on the Election than anything else.
 
Good program on itv at moment about liars etc but I think they've named it 60 years of past elections
 
I wont be staying up to watch it, well I don't normally, I am tired out now, if I had a TV in my bedroom I could have it on and then probably nod off whilst watching the results, a bit like Eurovision but less funny :rolleyes:and have the best sleep ever ( I 'm not a good sleeper, but often tired early evening, flagging a bit :oops:)so that might be a good idea, might pinch my teens TV ;) :p
 
We got rid of of TV in bedroom as I'd stay awake and annoy wife who had work next day, now I stay downstairs watching it and she now keeps getting up to tell me she can't sleep until I come to bed "Can't win"

I have my bedroom all to myself, yay :D
 
I'm on Polling Station duty today.
Question is , Should I wear my kilt or would the candidates run for the hills, screaming"Help , the SNP are coming!":woot:
 
I've decided to watch the election coverage on channel 4 with Jeremy Paxman's Alternative election night with 2 of my favourite comedy sketches "The Last Leg and Gogglebox....well funny" then him through the night hopefully with more of his Wit
 
Still undecided who to vote for perhaps I should run my own poll here and vote for who wins Adds a bit of excitement to the who thing
 
only the best of 2 evils.. 5 years on there money. who wouldn't want to win Not worth staying up for unless your doing all night basal testing:D
