I risked my life to vote, the polling station I went to was not in a good area.

It even had the obligatory twat a on mini moto whizzing around outside.

 

[Barzul]

When will the results be known?

 

[Juicy Bob]

Dealing with my boredom today by playing Rocket League online and spamming 'Vote Remain' in chat.

It is so far way more entertaining than it should be.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

When will the results be known?

Once MI5 clock off

Savage.

 

[FuturusX]

When will the results be known?

One sec checking with MI5.

When will the results be known?

They will come in throughout the night. We're expecting a good idea of the result by around 3am. Final result should be around 6am I believe?

 

[Rich!]

When will the results be known?

2-3am onwards GMT, with final results at dawn.

Almost final at 6-7am. But the Highlands result isn't expected until last at around 8am. So if it's (unlikely) incredibly close, the Highlands could be the decider

Have you changed the flag on your car to the EU flag too? I'm going to put the England flag on my car and spam Vote Leave to balance out your heinous shenanigans.

 

[PJV3]

When will the results be known?

When the referendum was called.

 

[brokenbeans]

Cool I'm in work for 6 so I'll catch a good amount before I head off.

Oh yeah when I went to my grandparents earlier (the ones voting out) and said I was voting remain due to the other grandparents convincing me, they refused to let me have any of their malteasers

so I asked for some custard creams from their biscuit tin

they said no

MI5 agents in the garden boo'd loudly.

 

[Enjolras]

Staying up is only good if your side wins otherwise it is the most soul crushing feeling ever. I was on a backshift for Scottish independence vote. Went to work later that day tired, salty and pissed.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I didn't last all the way. My will to stay up had been crushed by 5am.

Buy a load of stroopwafels and eat them whilst wearing a beret to spite them.

So we wait.....Until Dawn.

 

[gngf123]

So, I'm thinking the Havering vote is probably going to be a mess.

Flooded areas, internet access in certain parts completely cut off (can only access through my phones data connection right now), and just generally shitty weather.

Going to be interesting if that influences the voting. The polling station this morning was entirely pensioners, but that's nothing new for these parts.

 

[Stallion Dan]

By the same token

Having issues with immigration != non racist

Hmmm

Remain vote != Support the Nazis.

And more stupid statements.


Anyone who when immigration is mention says "Racist" as first thought is saying more about themselves than whoever started the topic.

 

[SuperEpicMan]

If I can go the rest of my life without hearing someone say "Take back control", I can die a content man.

Pop around to your other grandparents house, the ones voting remain, and ask for caviar....they are the wealthier grandparents correct?

 

[Nirolak]

Once Aeana explained that "rubber" means "eraser" instead of "condom" in the UK, this thread started making a lot more sense to me.

 

[The Elite]

I haven't spoken to my uncle or aunt but I'm sure if they got out to vote, they voted leave.

I am going to be visiting them in a few months.

Like finding the Rosetta Stone.

 

[Psychotext]

I wonder if when I live to 90, my lifelong held views will be changed in an instant by a chance encounter with a retail worker. I'm doubtful.

Depends... I wouldn't want to run into Phi unless I was absolutely sure of my opinions and facts.

Yeah that shite all the time in the great debate was pathetic, even the crowd and twitter got agitated at it, awful soundbite and likely harmed the vote for leave, no coincidence vote share fell in polls afterwards.

 

[Roberto Larcos]

Anyone remember the Mars Delight?

They were delicious. Why did they get canned?

 

[SymbiantXenos]

You should have gone armed with Parma Violets

I'd have taken werthers

You know UKGAF, we really are The Last of Us.

they're tight fucks

they gave me £20 for my birthday, my other lesser off grandparents gave me £100

 

[pitchfork]

okie dokie

despite the high road in my village being turned into a river by last nights storm, my LEAVE vote has been cast

 

[ferrasvansen]

Yeah I remember having that same conversation with my American friends at University many times, as well as explaining when I said "would you like a fag" I meant cigarette, we had some chuckles when I told them the true meaning.

 

[SuperEpicMan]

OOOOHHHH YEAH

If somebody was trying to force their opinions on me, they would be greeted with a clip 'round the lug

Always the case!

 

[ClosingADoor]

That's why they are wealthier. That stuff adds up every year.

To be fair, I think she wanted to have her mind changed - it was she that raised the topic. Probably just wanted to have it confirmed by someone sympathetic.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Done and done.

Voted leave in the end and I'll tell you bastards who are about to jump me why.

So I was walking the polling station, remain on my mind and thinking about the joys of seeing the crying leavers on Twitter later tonight and I happened across a newsagents.

Now this newsagents was as you'd expect, the faint scent of something foreign in the air, a rather dark looking chap behind the counter with a thick accent, (which is all too common these days...)I didn't let it concern me too much, I was an enlightened fellow, someone who didn't mind his kind in my country, so long as they did their part and provided me with services I needed.

I find what I'm looking for and what in the tittyloving fuck do I see...FUCKING CHOMP AND FUDGE BARS AT 25 FUCKING PENCE A POP. HOW THE FUCK IS THAT EVEN ACCEPTABLE?

Outraged, I demanded the fellow behind the counter explain why these delicious treats which I needed were now 25p and not 10p as they used to be. He shot a look of utter bewilderment as he mumbled in his rather thick accent - "I'm sorry sir, that's the price" - becoming more enraged by the second, I started to shout and demanded to know why he felt he could charge 25p...more muttering and soon he's sweating.

The atmosphere is now tense, a small crowd has gathered as I demand to know why he's charging 25p and suddenly an old lady with a new necklace appears....she quickly defuses the stand-off by regaling us with a story of how she fooled this fellow in a jewellery shop into thinking she had changed her mind to get a discount on her rather fetching new necklace.

We laughed and laughed some more. Eventually the crowd dissipated, the elderly woman walking off chuckling and stroking her new necklace and I suddenly remember...CHOMPS AND FUDGES ARE FUCKING 25P and I demand to know why the shopkeeper is charging so much.

He's full of excuses, so I throw the wretched things in his face, storm out and run towards the polling booth, a small group following as they realise some shit is about to go down...

I enter and demand they hand me my ballot paper...i enter hte booth and there's a fucking pencil. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS I shout, demanding to know where the MI5 agent so they can witness me making my mark in pen. No one steps forward, the cowards didn't even have the courtesy to show their face.

I vote leave...shouting my vote as I had in my ballot. I leave, the crowd outside anticipating my return...I VOTED LEAVE! I VOTED LEAVE BECAUSE CHOMPS AND FUDGES ARE FUCKING 25P. WHAT THE FUCK.

One voice form the crowd shouts...a bastard with a pack of Prawn Cocktail crisps ...that cunt just voted leave, rush the bastard. They cheered...

They were amazing

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

Because some things are just too good for this world.

 

[MrS]

To be fair, I think she wanted to have her mind changed - it was she that raised the topic. Probably just wanted to have it confirmed by someone sympathetic.

I'm just razzing you. This is a raz.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

If she's still there when I go vote later I'll ask her what her problem is.

Here's your answer...

 

[PJV3]

I'm not sure I can deal with the stress of watching the result after 2015(thankfully it was very quick end). Might go to bed and hopefully wake up all European and what not.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Just voted, station was quiet. Quite disappointing really.

 

[Khoryos]

So, I'm thinking the Havering vote is probably going to be a mess.

I really thought you meant scottish floating voters.

Kinda disappointed now, not enough people say havering anymore.

 

[PowerTaxi]

Done and done.

...

Well played.

 

[Rich!]

being entirely serious, I have a lot to say on the matter of chocolate, particuarly cadburys, here in the UK

I ran a large convenience store (10 staff, not huge but eh) from 2011 to 2014. Now, I was in retail before Kraft took over Cadburys and I was obviously there after. I noticed things were the same to begin with. But after a few months, the sizes of standard bars reduced, some by up to 8g. Not only that, the price stayed the same.

Eventually, the price rised. Look at the size of a goddamn wispa now. It's fucking tiny, and you're paying more than you did in 2010. it's bullshit
