Was I just tripping there, or did I see a random man standing against the back screens behind the guests on the left?

I shouldn't have had those extra mushrooms tonight.

since when are you an authoritative source?


I have a phD in Political Science.

And my thesis was on the influence that early declarations have on voting patterns in Western states.

How about you?

Oh, and also I am trying to have a bit of a game with this. Lighten up FFS.

I wonder if ITV will put in ad breaks or not bother?

Sometimes overnight (well they used to do this anyway) they don't have ad breaks IIRC.


No ads all night.

The networks are taking ad breaks. Anna Botting has a sore throat.

ITV have a simple take on the election results I would say which is actually easier to watch than the BBC. The BBC seem to have a reporter in every state, is that really necessary. Anyway, another day for that!

Didn't they have an artist as part of the last UK Election coverage?

Gerald Scarf was the cartoonist.

It does if you download Windows Media Player for Mac. Wink .

No it doesn't. The Sky News stream specifically requires Windows (I think for DRM reasons).


It will work.

You need to install flip4mac, and try it with firefox - working great for me.

Message me if you need anymore help.

Oh and once again Hymagumba is right.

I will be steering well clear of Metropol as long as he is a mod there, but thanks for the link.

Thank goodness. *eats more mushrooms*

What on earth was he doing there? He didn't seem to be carrying or handling any studio equipment - he just looked like he was stoned and confused about where he was.

Weird.
