The piss-poor weather in London won't actually swing the vote for Leave, will it?

Was just about to go vote and the heavens opened... I'll go a bit later I promise.

There was an expert on The Daily Politics yesterday that said studies have shown bad weather doesn't affect turnout. Though if there's one thing this whole Brexit thing has taught us is that we can't trust all these bloody "experts" as far as we can throw them!
 
ohhh shit

I remember back in school (year 10, I think), me and two others were put into another room during an english lesson because we kept breaking chairs (bouncing on one leg until it bent inwards, and doing the same with the rest)

so naturally, without teacher supervision for ten minutes, we destroyed every chair in the room and legged it

how did I get into sixth form and get a degree at uni? I don't know.
 
I have been mostly away today and didn't read much. I left off at: latest polls gave more % to Remain and betting companies are still leaning towards the remain vote.

Did any of this change?
 
Remember, you still have until 10pm tonight to vote for your favourite sweets.

Mine?

Just came back, first time I've ever voted in my life. Nearly gave my slip to the polling staff instead of putting it in the ballot box, felt incredibly stupid making such a mistake.

Any other first time voters here or is it just me?
 
also by humming rule Britannia, and saying hail hydra

I am joking, of course, I never hum rule Britannia.

I don't know why but I saw that "Hail Hydra" and figured there would be a Farage/Boris version of the meme with him going "I was always in" or something of the sort.
 
From another forum:
Just had a whole army of Leave voters come in to the station with pens. Like it was a fucking school trip or something. The lady leading the group stood at the door and said "has everyone got their pens". Jesus fucking christ. I think I've had enough of poll clerking.

Let me get this straight.

A normal procedure of elections around the world is being posited as a method of fraud by the government. This government wants to rig the election, but their evil, nefarious plan, one redolent of massive conspiracy, incredible reach and capability, power and faceless evil is avoidable by the simple gambit of bringing a pen to the polling station. Furthermore, the votes being targeted are those which wish to ensure that same government and establishment has more power than it currently (or so it is perceived) does.

Right.

Brilliant.

My contempt has never been so great for certain fellow Britons.

Three or four so far I think.

OH MAN I LOVED THESE

let me post my GOAT:

I remember I used to live on these when I first played through F Zero on the GBA launch week.
 
living in america.. regretting being a lazy fucker and not registering to vote by proxy in time.. eating 'baked beans' for lunch.. aka americans don't know a good fucking baked bean to save their lives. come on remain!
 
Drove to Aylesbury today and went through a small village. There were huge 'leave" posters all over people's fences etc - one literally next door to a polling station. I'm surprised how anti Europe rural areas would be - they want easy access to migrants for harvest time, and get shit loads back from the CAP
 
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...

I read this with the voice of David Mitchell.

That's a very normal mistake from first timers, it's on the harmless end of the scale.

oh I'm not

I live in rural england. If you think rural england is "remain" then you are surely mistaken
 
On the people using pens in case of the MI5 changing the pencil votes conspiracy, I presume vote counting works in the UK the same way it does here in Ireland - whereby the sealed boxes of votes are opened and counted and campaign members can watch (from a reasonable distance) the vote count in the hall to check that votes aren't being altered?

I think he means logically they should be. Do rural Brexiteers have any kind of logic in their decision? Did the EU run over their dog?

I know they seem to be pro-leave - I just don't full understand why. They should be the areas least affected by immigration, and most benefitting from financial aid from Europe.

Yep, hence why if you were going to fix it you'd just burn the box en route and replace it with a prearranged duplicate stuffed with Remain ballots
 
Didn't vote today. Recently moved and apparently I didn't register to vote at this address despite thinking that I did and I couldn't be arsed trying to figure what to do and how to fix it.

My local corner shop used to charge rip-off prices for sweets like Chomp's and Freddo's, and he looked like a UKIP voter.
 
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.

The absolute worst is American saying "period", all the time.
