³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

Im watching from San Fran ! My boyfriend thinks im somewhat sad !

Well nick is typing again so somethings coming through. Local broadcast over now?

Just got my home town and it's MP Bob Russell on.

Cheers for the nice online coverage (blog and tv). Can't resist it even though I have to read about analysis of variance for class tomorrow here at Harvard in the US. Actually, what better way to learn about statistics and confidence intervals than follow election night and the result predictions!

I guess I'm not the only one watching you Nick avidly for our next "unofficial" update from the studio floor! How many Mars bars have lost their seats in their wrappers?!!!

Did Tessa Jowl just say the longer Labour stay in Government the harder it becomes to stay in touch? That’s a line you really don’t want to hear from the Leaders of the Nation.

Fantastic insight.. the entire readership of ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ News will be fast alseep at thier desks tommorow.

The wide shots with Nick caught hunched to one side, listening to the MPs, are very amusing. Nice to know we are part of the room. :-)

I'm intrigued by the desk you're all sat around. In closeup, it looks like there are lots of computer monitors underneath a central glass section for old Dimbles to look at, but the view from above shows a coloured centre, with no monitors visible.

Has somebody gone to the trouble of superimposing a tidy desk top on there? Throw your mars bar wrappers into the middle so we can see what happens!

I'm suprised Labour has done so well in Manchester. I live in Ardwick and, talking with people here, I thought the Lib Dems would do better than it appears they have. I only received one leaflet through the door (from Labour) and didn't get the chance to talk with any of the candidates.

I don't know how you manage it Nick! On live TV and blogging. Have you been on a ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ course in multi-tasking?

Why is an election (Crawley) being decided on the drawing of lots?

It's a complete farce and a disregard to the voting population. If the votes are equal then it should be controlled jointly, no-one democratically elected the tories, they selected the right envelope.

Either re-ballot or have joint control.

Please ask Tessa Jowell where gordon Brown has been for the last 10 days.

Tell her we are worried about him or some such rubbish if she doesn't seem keen to answer.

Nick, would you care to ask Simon Hughes the (pressing) question of why he's wearing a short-sleeved shirt. Is this the Lib-Dem version of the no-tie policy? He looks ridiculous!

Nick - why is it we can't see the Mars Bar wrappers - how you hiding them. And... Coventry gain - something interesting going on there?

10:30am in Australia, following the coverage on the beeb website. Waiting for the Hammersmith & Fulham result. Isn't the global village we live in just great!

hey Nick can you ask Simon Huhes why hes wearing a t-shirt.He looks very scruffy for such an important ocassion!

No matter what angle is shown I can't see any television cameras in the studio, how is that so? You must have some cameras there!

Nick,

The sound is very low. It's extremely hard to hear.

On the issue of trust, the government and the media, can you remind Ms Jowell (Offshore morgages r us)that in a recent independent poll the more people trust the media than the government. What does that say about the government she represents.

Nick it is great to hear your musings on the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳. I used to love listening to you on ITN but it always seemed you were being chased by the Ads. Now you are on the serious political channel your insight is fascinating.

The cameras are lurking in the shadows -- a bit like Gordon Brown.

I wonder how confident Tessa Jowell is that Tony Blair will see out the year still in office.

Is she willing to put her house on it...?

Hammersmith & Fulham now a Conservative council and constituency. Great news, even if I am in Oz.

Glass of white wine for me at lunch time.....
