My prediction( not hope) is for TM to have about a 40/50 overall majority. I reserve the right to change this prediction up to the announcement of the exit poll. Anybody else have a prediction?

How will you do that Daphne? reach the public ?

durhamjen Thu 08-Jun-17 22:01:35

Exit poll, hung parliament!!!!!

Blimey - long way to go but she has had a kick up the ass for her arrogance all being well

I am watching channel 4, David Mitchell being rude about Mayhem.

Tegan2 Thu 08-Jun-17 22:10:36

Can't believe it; thought to myself 'I'll just listen to the exit poll, feel miserable and go to bed'. Don't think I'll be sleeping much tonight, now. Serves her right!

mostlyharmless Thu 08-Jun-17 22:12:15

Fingers crossed!

durhamjen Thu 08-Jun-17 22:13:13

Senior Tories don't believe it.

durhamjen Thu 08-Jun-17 22:15:21

Amber Rudd might be in trouble in Hastings.

My prediction is that tomorrow will be mainly rain, DFS will have yet another sale on, Cliff Richard will decide against having one more go at a Christmas number one, and that Larry, the number 10 cat will wash the inside of his left back leg before the right one.

It might also prove to be a difficult day for those born under the sign of Capricorn, who may find that a stranger is in front of them in a queue.

Could be wrong, often am.

I have started a "The result" thread in an attempt to keep us all together - if you it is useful to you.

Chewbacca Thu 08-Jun-17 22:30:27

Not sure that I can agree with you there phoenix. I think that Larry the cat will wash his bum first, not the inside of his left leg. Shall we put a bet on it?

phoenix Thu 08-Jun-17 22:37:42

Hmm, you could be right there, Chewbacca the bum first option is often preferred, possibly due to the tongue cleaning opportunities offered by then going for the leg.

I would take you up on a small wager, but validating the result could be tricky.

May well be better to have a bit of an odds on as to how soon we get a right good ticking off for having a laugh being flippant.

Chewbacca Thu 08-Jun-17 22:42:57

I've seen much worse transgressions on here tonight than flippancy phoenix .

phoenix Thu 08-Jun-17 23:31:18

Oh, just us left then, Chewbacca , fancy a glass of wine and a game of "I Spy"? Sorry, but I've eaten all the nuts and olives.blush

Chewbacca Thu 08-Jun-17 23:35:30

Not keen on olives anyway phoenix so no problem. wouldn't have minded a nut though. I spy with my little eye something beginning with D.

phoenix Thu 08-Jun-17 23:40:28

Can I have P please Bob? Oh sorry, wrong game.

D....... , can I have a clue, please?

Chewbacca Thu 08-Jun-17 23:43:13

OK. Clue: there are a lot of them around, not just on GN, but probably slightly less than 50% of all voters.

Jalima1108 Thu 08-Jun-17 23:49:29

Exit poll, hung parliament!!!!!
Far be it from me to say 'told you so' but ..... wink

But that's just an exit poll, things could change dramatically.

phoenix Thu 08-Jun-17 23:51:19

Sorry, brain overworked, giving up and going to bed!

Jalima1108 Thu 08-Jun-17 23:54:55

Even if I stay up it won't change the result so I may as well go to bed and read my book. They are all waffling on the telly.

Not rain again phoenix - and cold? It's flaming June! (flaming being in the
