I don't think Rollo was commenting on female beauty as such but every time I see T May lately I think of Dr Who's comments re Prime Minister Harriet Jones, at the end of 'The Christmas Invasion' :-)

Trying to imagine it now.

Rollo, in the TM fan club. :-D :-D :-D

Cheer up, it could be worse - imagine being in the DA fan club. :-( ;-)

To be fair Nyx, Rollo was saying T May needed more beauty sleep than LaGooner, the only possible conclusion from that is she's not pretty. :-D

I'm not having that Rollo, now that they have you down as a potential supporter. You're on the books now lad, whether you like it or not. ;-) :-D

Anyone looking at T May these last few weeks would say the same surely? she is looking pretty haggard when not lit to her advantage, the result of late nights and a fraught schedule, alongside two terror attacks and a potentially tough brexit to sort..

Even "pretty" women would not look at their best in the circumstances. I know I look like death warmed up most ( all) of the time, so observing that T May needs some beauty sleep is no more un PC than saying I do...which I do lol.

FWIW I don't think she is "pretty" ( she may have been when young don't know) , I didn't think Cameron was handsome, and Jeremy Corbyn is out of the running on looks in my eyes because he has a beard, and I don't like them lol.

LOL Nyx not exactly helping the argument that women make informed decisions...next you'll say you back horses cos they have nice names :-D

Never mind the names, Caroline. We all know that we back them if their riders have the colours we like! :-D :-D :-D

But I don't vote based on anyone's looks, any more than I would bet on a horse because it was a white one, I only bet/vote based on previous or predicted 'form'.

Of course women (and men) make informed decisions.
Women (and men) also make bad decisions, horses?...probably not so much :-)

Bottle of red wine for me tonight. Celebrate or commiserate, it's all going down.

I shan't be staying up. This is the first election where I haven't got a preference for either of the main parties. We are doomed whichever one gets in. :-|

I don't even base my vote in a General Election on the candidate - I look at their policies, and how they've voted on issues in the past. It's amazing how many vote for a policy one day, then against it the next!!

I shall be going to bed early (for me), and attempting to get up early.
If it goes the way I want, I'll never sleep :-D
If it goes the other way - I don't want to try to sleep whilst feeling depressed :-(

Apparently the Conservatives will be the largest party with about 314 seats , well short of a majority. SNP are losing about 20 seats.

That is if you trust exit polls. :-)

Anyone still watching?

I fell asleep, but will now tune in to what's been happening.

Nigel Farrage now saying he might have to come back..................

Yes I'm still up Gwyn :-) hanging on to see the local result if I can, lots of coffee and a nap earlier has helped :-)

I'm still up, amazed at the anticipated fall of the SNP.

disappointed, our useless MP just won by 725 votes :-( No UKIP candidate this time, so she picked up enough of their votes.

What a mix of MPs........

Brain starting to scramble now..lol

Still up. What a bewildering night and set of results. November election, anyone?

I will have to sleep soon or become a zombie.

Shocked I am at the moment.

Our Conservative MP has been re elected. I don't know if this area has ever been anything else.

I saw one of his posters displayed near a roadside earlier this week.

Across it someone had posted a sticker..... WHO ?

I guess they feel as Nyx does about her area's choice.
