I'm planning on staying up all night on Thursday to watch the election results. The first constituency to declare is likely to be around 11pm - just 1 hour after polls close.

Well if you are mental enough to do that Pud you might as well go and pop round Hammer's and keep him company. He'll appreciate that.

Sad, I know, but I'm a big rolling news fan... And something like a general election doesn't come along every day! For me, this is almost as good as meeting down the library at 8pm.

He'll be able to go straight out in the morning and help Mr. P. with the papers

I'm not tweeting at the moment, but you never know...
(And congrats on your 800th post, Bob.)

Tin should feel threatened. Make that my 802nd post.
Is there some sort of loyalty club reward points that I should qualify for? Free Mars Bar from Pud's Tuck Shop?

I've got friday off, so will stay up for some of it, but I have to be up before lunch as I'm taking Lisa out for lunch as it's our 5th anniversary.

Congratulations, Doc J.
But I would advise: don't sleep, enjoy the results show with David Dimbleby and drink a lot of coffee. And you'll still be good for lunch!
OK - to be honest, I'll probably try to get a couple of hours sleep. I guess it depends what happens during the night.

What happens during the night is that lots of people sort bits of paper in to different piles and then count them...........riveting!!

Tin, it will be riveting. It's a race for the first party to win 326 seats to get an overall majority. Expect the first declaration from Sunderland within an hour of the polls closing. Waveney in Suffolk is the seat to look out for. It's 116th on the Tory hit list and the Tories need to gain 116 seats to win an overall majority.
Other interesting results will be Hodge (Labour) verses Griffin (BNP) in Barking, Galloway (Respect) verses Fitzpatrick (Labour) in Poplar and Limehouse, Cash (Conservative) verses Buck (Labour) in Westminster North and Goldsmith (Conservative) verses Kramer (Liberal Democrat) in Richmond Park and North Kingston.
Expect the result to be called between 3am and 5am tomorrow morning.
