Kirk has left a gaping hole in my ... heart. And Golden Era LT too, not so much New52 LT though.

That combatant nature of yours has spread its wings. You can't complain.

I thought there were loads of centres everywhere? I live in the middle of nowhere and even my little village has 3 polling stations. Our local town has like 10

Gavins sons school is closed as it is a polling station too.

Yeah, same here.
Loads of them, ours is 5 minutes up the road.
Mine goes in the postbox whitch is 3 minutes up the road.

If you give them a ring/text or whatever, they will come and pick you up if you can't make it to the polling station.
Well they used to

[Vicky.]

Can you usually only vote at one polling station? I was always under the impression you could do any :S But I have only ever used the one nearest to me so have never had reason to not know this

As far as I am aware you go to the one nearest to you, they have a list with your details on it.
Hence you don't have to have a polling card as long as you are registered.

Even with a high youth turnout, I can't see it making much difference. Isn't Corbyn still the most unpopular in all age groups?

Yeah, you can only vote in your nearest polling station, they have a list of names of people who vote there, and cross it off when you go in.

No labour has like 80% of support of 18-25 year olds.

And most under 20's don't have a clue what their voting for other than perhaps to get free uni fees or to simply follow the crowd.

As many under 20s know what they're voting for as over 20's. Not that I'm saying they do know; most people don't know and just follow one crowd or other.

As the parent of some young I would say them not getting out of bed until pushed is a fairly accurate description of my own young, specially after an all nighter on the games!

I'll probably chivvy them up later in the day like 3pm when they surface looking for bacon and eggs, to vote. Though my son might vote labour so maybe I'll encourage him back to bed!

just hide their phones and they won't be able to use GPS to find the polling station

But then how will the oldies get there without strong young 'uns to help them with their zimmer frames and dementia . They'll end up stumbling around B&Q trying to buy chicken.

ah ... but once you get them there, you have a 90% chance of them forgetting to bring their glasses and putting a cross in the wrong box

Very optimistic of you if you think many youngsters today help the oldies with their zimmers. I think many youngsters think old age is contagious and it won't happen to them if they keep their distance.

I thought you only hated foreigners Brillo, it's somewhat comforting to know that you also have an unhealthy disdain for young people too . But where will we deport them to

Cut them in down the middle, stuff half of them into their mother's ovaries and the other half into their dad's ballsack? visceral...

I don't hate foreigners at all only terrorists that murder and maime. As a mother of three youngsters I have a healthy disdain for their laziness and lack on interest in politics. You do know not many voted in the most serious decision of our lives - the referendum - point proven I think. As for deportation - Easy the country they have dual citizenship of.

Even I had to laugh at that one.

Please tell me you are not making a bacon and egg breakfast for grown adults at 3pm
