- Regret is asking an old lady if she'd like to take my seat on a packed bus, her agreeing… and me realising that she isn't old after all. #
- Just saw Toy Story 3. Spent at least a quarter of the running time weeping uncontrollably. Feel like I have post traumatic stress disorder. #
- “@emailbot: @white_mischief Security Warning: you just publicly posted an email address for spammers to collect.” Whoops so I did. @rhodri #

- http://rentafriend.com/unitedkingdom/ – at long last. How much would you pay for my friendship? Or would I have to pay you? #
- “@DavidGArnold: @Palomafaith Ive been in a room with Michael Nyman too” I think @McAlmonttweets / @davidmccalmont has too. Not me though. #
- Why must National Rail staff call the food carriage a "buffy"? Why can't they pronounce it correctly, ie boo-fay? #
- OK Cupid does it again: online daters are 2 inches shorter than they claim, 20% poorer and 80% less bisexual! #

- I'm a judge on the famous Tournament of Tease tonight…come down to Bethnal Green Working Mens Club! http://yfrog.com/0ayhtjj #
- Pre-election, Cameron talked about rolling up his sleeves and changing gov't on Friday morning. In the end he crept in on Tuesday night. #
- Seeing Gordon Brown leaving No. 10 I keep expecting Davina McCall to jump out shouting "Let's have a look back at your Best Bits!" #
- What happens when the PMs swap over? Does Gordon walk out with all his stuff in a box? Does Cameron sit amongst teacrates with a takeaway? #
- Passing Pete Docherty on King's Cross station platform. He looks bloody awful and his shoelaces are different colours. Just Say No, kids. #
- http://www.takebackparliament.com/ – demonstration for fair votes in the UK. Parliament Square, Saturday May 15, 2pm. Who's with me? #
- Let's hope that if there is a referendum on electoral reform, the population doesn't see it as a referendum on the Lib Dems. #
- I've been off Twitter and news all day. Absolutely delighted at the revelations. Is electoral reform on the way? #
- Full, insightful analysis of the UK's parliamentary "gridlock" and the possible outcomes: http://ow.ly/1IWQa /via @channel4news #
- Don't forget to go to Ben Hopper's exhibition today at the Pangea Project in London. #
- Brilliant visualisation from writer, genius and my mate @mccandelish showing exactly why we need electoral reform. http://yfrog.com/jcnjej #
- At the Kew Bridge Steam Museum with Jarmean, Ben Hopper …hoping to do a steampunk event here so watch this space. http://yfrog.com/jybi6mj #
- So Clegg's not going to stand in the way of a minority Tory government. Sad but at least he keeps his word. Another election this year then. #
- Listening to Nick Clegg give a speech. Wow. It's refreshing to hear a politician speak honestly, candidly and without the usual waffle. #

- Mathematically-speaking this is now a hung parliament #GE – no outright majority. I predict the Tories will try and force Gordon Brown out. #
- If you were in a queue, didn't get a ballot paper, didn't have your name on the list or were unable to vote: info@electoralcommission.org.uk #
- Tories 36.1%=289 seats, Labour 29.2%=245 seats, LibDeb 22.9%=51 seats. Do you see? The only change we need is ELECTORAL REFORM. Retweet pls. #
- RT this to all ( /via @bengoldacre ): 5.9m votes gets labour 178 seats, 4.8m votes gets libdems 36 seats. http://bit.ly/9CGWx9 #ge2010 #
- There is some good news: the Greens won their first ever parliamentary seat -well done Brighton and all the campsigners. #
- I'm going to sleep now. What's the chances I'll awake to riots in the street due to the scandalous polling station farrago? #
- I'm just off to vote. #
- Hunting for raw data from exit poll. What are the confidence intervals? /via @josephkibe (Erm yes! I want confidence intervals! I think…) #
- It's weird that the political leaders go on about making a change, because really Brits fear change and prefer things to be predictable. #
- Isn't it ironic that the political party talking most about wanting "change" are called the *Conservatives*…? #
- A 'swing seat' sounds fun on a number of levels. Unfortunately I suspect by the end of tonight I'll discover how tremendously dull they are. #
- For my American friends: this video probably sums up British politics better than anything else you will read today. http://bit.ly/97uApd #
- Will today be the last sunny day in London for the next five years? #
- Another guide to voting tactically today: http://bit.ly/awBCyr #
- A hung parliament could set in motion electoral reform so check http://bit.ly/cKFLsx and if you're in a marginal, please vote tactically! #
- In West London. Might as well be on Mars. Nothing recognisable. No-one is poor here. Everyone is white. Lots of sunglasses and nice shirts. #
- The Guardian tells you how to vote: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/apr/30/the-liberal-moment-has-come #
- Cameron wins third leg, according to the Guardian. That must be why the other two are doing the one-leg-kiss pose. http://yfrog.com/g0el0j #
- …and the overall vote doesn't count at all. It's like wanting John Lennon to win, forced to vote Noel Gallagher and getting NoWaySis. #
- In X Factor you vote for a singer you like and the one with the most votes wins. In UK politics you vote for a mate of the person you like.. #
- People say the UK electoral system is like X Factor, with the TV debates like the finals. But that's totally wrong. #
