Still? I'm sick of hearing about it.
Talking head after talking head being wheeled out more or less at random to speculate on the radio about what might happen, all the left-wing media speculating that this could be the best thing that ever happened to Britain's voting system, all the right-wing media speculating that it's the worst thing to happen to this country since some plonker gave women the vote. So much endless fucking speculation that has pushed aside all other news - can people not just shut the fuck up until some combination of the three main parties has finally come to a decision?

I know I've been whinging about this a lot, and I apologise. I know it should be interesting, but all this interminable speculation does seem, to me, to be about as much use as publishing an interview in which you ask someone: "You clearly don't know what's going on as you're not in the same room as any of Cameron, Clegg or Brown...but what do you reckon might be happening? Can you imagine what it would be like to know about it? Please feel free to imagine a conversation over tea and biscuits with the three aforementioned party leaders and from that point make stuff up as you go along."

EDIT: Ah, right, didn't realise it was the asking-the-Queen-to-sign-his-permission-slip that made you laugh! Fair enough, though I stand by the above disgruntled ramble.

Isn't that just the news nowadays though?
Endless speculation?

There is a lot of that
But every so often I like to be told when something has happened. You know, to have something reported. It look as though it could be a few more days before any decision is made, so why can't the papers leave them to it and find other stuff to report on and/or speculate about?

I know, I know, no paper wants to be the one that misses out when the decision is finally announced, but can't they just...ease off a bit?

I agree, it drives me mad
which is why I limit myself to one bout of news a day (usually the 6pm BBC news).

It might as well be, given some of the idiots who've been given a space to comment on it...

They did a little segment
on HIGNFY about that

Well, that as well
It's the whole procedure. The fact that you voted 5 days ago and you still haven't got a goverment (apart from the Queen)

the Queen isn't our government
she's a formality. It's pretty simple

Right
Let's not discuss about this again.

That is very good
Shame the papers couldn't have been that concise with it!

It's all a massive heap of tedious bollocks.

It is that
I've never seen bollocks heaped so high, let alone those of the tedious variety.
