Did an Aldi run (voted a couple of days back) and the car park was heaving. And Audi drivers were being Audi drivers.
Still, snacks and prosecco have been procured for either results watching or drowning my sorrows, depending on how soon it's called.
Now back to the theory units before the First Aid class Tuesday.

As awful as it sounds, I'm either going to be lost in escapist TV or asleep when the count starts - I can't bear to watch in real time the country return the result I'm 90% confident of

Yep same I don’t really want to know how racist/ gullible the country is.

I understand completely, believe me! I think I'll be following Antony Green's twitter. ABC's coverage, once a go-to, has gone to shit.

That's another thing I like to never think about ... How far the ABC has fallen even in the 14 years since I first came here...

I hate to agree with you but I think I’m going to have to agree with you on the results.

Unless everything that’s been portrayed so far is wrong it’s doubtful we’ll get the numbers needed.
