Plonk them in the comments or an email and I shall, in turn, plonk them in here...

- Another plug from Huw Edwards. Something about blogs being written by incontinent saddos. Definition of incontinent: 'lacking in moderation or self-control, esp. of sexual desire.' Oh dear, good job my mum isn't watching.

- Plug from Huw Edwards. He obviously doesn't know what a blog is:) Thanks anyway.

- Newport East, Newport East, Newport East, Newport East, Newport East!!

- Islwyn safe. Upset in 1999, not in 2007.

- Lib Dems talking up Newport East. For them to win they'd need a staggering 14.3% swing. Apparently the Tories are predicting this as a Lib Dem gain - unconfirmed at present.

- Rhodri Morgan and Sue Essex spotted outside Tesco next to Whitchurch library at 8.40 urging people to vote. Also, I'm told in M&S. Rhodri could be buying some slippers for his retirement. Last minute desperation?

- Tories talking up Newport West.

- Turnout LOW in Ynys Mon. Plaid jittery?

- Labour vote collapsed in Aberconwy but holding up in Neath/Aberavon.

- Elfyn Llwyd says Plaid close but not close enough in Clwyd West. Another 12 activists and another week of campaigning might have swung it for them, he says. Looks like a straight race between Labour and Tory.

- More postal votes have been returned in Bristol than the council actually sent out!!!

Huw's plug worked.....

Found you on the strength of his recommendation!

Enjoy the evening, going to watch tv and read you.

Fingers crossed.....

Has anyone noticed how much more Welsh Huw sounds when talking about Wales? When presenting the news it's almost RP with a welsh twang, now he sounds like a valleys school teacher trying to control an unruly class!

Brilliant, Mike. Stick around. You've got seven months of hardcore blogging to catch up with if you get bored...

Swansea West turnout may apear low as it includes the university halls and 'student areas'; I'm a postgrad at Swansea, and when the electoral survey arrived in October i stated that i was registered elsewhere (one of my housemates stated that he was also registered elsewhere, and another housemate was at that point NOT a UK citizen) Despite this, our ballot ID cards arrived last week! As it is, not one of our house voted in Swansea West, and i'm sure that this was repeated throughout the constituency...

Why are they making you sit outside? Hope you're wearing a hat, it's a nippy night.

And Happy Birthday.

Thankyou Blamerbell.

Have quickly realised how well resourced you blog is.
Truly impressive range of links offered in the sidebar.....

Once the excitement of the evening dies down I shall be off exploring..


Hugh's talking about you again....
Betsan's obviously a fan.....

Blamerbell, you are so famous -and I am envious. Hope you had a good laugh at the BBC prediction that 58% would vote. More like 40%

I've niped out from the Llandaff studio to blog. Not much to say yet. Just listening to Alun Michael on the BBC say that he hopes Rhodri will be First Minister tomorrow. I bet he does. If Rhodri has to resign, Alun will laugh for the first time since he left the Assembly

Anyone got a prediction who will be the next presiding officer??

 
At 12:36 am, Blogger Blamerbell said...

Mike, if I'm missing someone, do let me know. I try to keep it as up to date as possible. Welsh political resources on the internet are shamefully thin.

Glyn, are you and Huw playing good cop bad cop then?
Do you think you'll be a full-time farmer again tomorrow?

Tony Blair. Next presiding officer, outside bet: Jenny Randerson!

Rod Richards probably couldn't find a pizza shop open at this time of night!!!

 
At 12:59 am, Blogger Mike said...
