I have my official green Islington press invite to the most boring event you can possibly imagine, the Counting of Votes, Media Viewing Area only. I’m heading up there when the polls close, don’t know how long I will stay.<\/p>\n

I went and voted this afternoon. I think that locally the turnout<\/a> is up on last time round here, so that’s good.<\/p>\n

I wish I was excited as the election and my involvement in it came to it’s fabulous climax, but I am instead saddened by some news which has me sighing, about a young neighbour who is probably not going to last very much longer. It’s not the sort of thing I want to write about right now, and it is one time that I am gladdest to not be on my own. My gorgeous girlfriend is moved herself, sympathetic and compassionate, and it’s times like this I realise how much she means to me.<\/p>\n

Hey hum, pray if you will. Meanwhile, I have been recording a band called the Wild Uncles. You heard that name here first. <\/p>\n

Let’s hope this election night ends well, which for me means, we are still ruled by a socially progressive government. When I get back, I’ll spark up an IRC channel and post it here for anyone who wants to chat as we go through our collective national spasm. <\/p>\n

My IRC for tonight is irc.nightstar.net channel #ukbloggers<\/p>\n
