I've made a huge mistake.
As my little rebellion I handed my postal vote in at the polling stations with no ID.

The most milquetoast form of election interference, from someone who thinks "Well, if my leaflet is the one they see, they'll surely vote for me!"

He'll defend it as "a moment of madness" as long as he's vaguely in with the party. I hope he does, the party backs him, and then more footage of him doing this at other homes comes out.

I quite like the strings of bunting but that's mostly because I think we should have bunting up all the time.

They have this weird installation in boro center where they've strung lines between buildings and hung little fake flowers off them, looks nice honestly. Dunno who thought to put it up but it's been there a year or two I think.

That sounds quite nice. I too like bunting. Except for the noisy plastic stuff they first put up for the platy jubes.

Voted TUSC in the end. Best of a poor selection.

Interestingly, there was a group of Labour canvassers out as I got home, first time I've seen that on an election day here (v safe Labour ward in Sheffield).

I could've gone to Blatherwycke



Only had the usual 3 flavours of tory available to vote for here.

Voted Labour possibly for the last time, as I know the candidates in my ward from my time in the party and they are good people whom I shared a few pints with.

If the Greens had stood, I'd have voted for them.

Doing nothing continues the 13 year status quo, vote for not-blue to help stir the pot and worry about ideological purity later.

In the end this post made me vote, though not for the party it was probably intended for.

Also there was some (I assume) Tory wanker electoral worker who mocked me for living in a flat.

Well I hope he wasn't a Green since they have been against affordable housing/flats in the area, but he was oozing Tory smugness and accent so I think he must have been one.

Yeah I think they were just seriously out of touch, I mean it's a very detached family housing area around here but fucker I'm paying close to 1500 PCM for the privilege.

It was something along the lines of, almost verbatim: "Oh you probably have a front door? That's become a real status symbol among the poorer in society lately.", when I said it was quite nice for a flat.

e: Everyone else was very nice and he was the only person in a shirt/jumper/deep blue checkered tie combo, so there is that.

I have no clue what his name even was, and TBH I don't think he was trying to be mean or anything, it was just small talk when they were looking for my address. Also the tories are not winning anything here, it's Labour/Green marginal with lib dem as a third.

I just said "uh I don't know about that" and went to cast my vote.

Also I do in fact have my own front door and am quite happy about that, presumably also reflected in my address/house number, so it was not a complete non-sequitur.

Cheers, and hopefully, mostly worried about my brain not letting me get any sleep but going to try and speak to my gp and see if my childhood adhd diagnosis will still let me get meds for it, apparently sleep disorders get worse over time with that and the meds can help.

Congrats and good luck Owlie.

I voted this morning in an empty polling station and from the looks of the list of names and addresses, only a handful of people had got there before me. The poll clerk commented that my hair colour was different but that I still looked like my passport photo (isn't that an insult?). My vote went to a candidate so completely absent from anywhere online and so deeply hidden that he's probably drinking buddies with Lord Lucan.

making GBS threads bricks can help, but using urine to mark off your territory within the office building is the normal way. You may also have to fight one or two more dominant colleagues.

Best of luck in your new job!
