@House . . . I was wondering where you had disappeared to! Wink

RE: GMTV, it does seem strange that Lorraine Kelly is on the sofa while Kate Garraway is relegated to reading out e-mails from the 'web studio'. Incidentally, the 'web studio' does look strikingly similar to GMTV's future home Wink

@M_in_m - thanks for the reply! Kirsty Wark on a train with Nick Clegg on saying he's not in the talking mood! I do think the use of technology, such as 3G or internet streaming, is very clever, though very bad quality. I can't decide if it's better to use it or not.

@bbcsport - Simply couldn't keep my eyes open any longer Wink still I got all of, what, three and a half hours sleep!

Dimbleby saying they're taking a break (I believe for regional news) and that a "Separate Breakfast programme" is on in half an hour, and that "we're" back at 11?

It looks as though David Dimbleby is getting a 2 hour nap at least. I don't blame him for wanting to see it through. There will be very few results left to declare after 11am!

I don't know how I've managed it TBH! Well it looks like the regions will have their opt out at 9am, then Jon Sopel will take over for 90 minutes or so.

Jon Sopel and Sian Williams on the NC now.

@bbcsport - I think it would have been easier to stay awake if the results had been coming in more quickly - Dimbleby did a great job of keeping nothing much happening fascinating, but each result somehow woke me up a little. Well done for keeping with it though, bbcsport!

Was that a recorded ident that they planned to play at 6am?

"Good morning and welcome to BBC1, now a Breakfast Election Special" at 9am!

There's a lengthy regional round-up opt in a few minutes.
