bravoI bought a Buddhist vacuum cleaner.Q: What did the Buddhist ask the hot dog vendor?Hot dog costs £5. Buddhist hands over a tenner. Vendor pockets it.
A: “Make me one with everything.”
Buddhist: “Where’s my change?”
Vendor: “Change comes from within.”
Within six weeks it had lost all its attachments.
Attachment is suffering.

Alas no.I am busy until 9ish.Are you meeting her at the count?
(Date night.)
I do expect the ballot boxes to be emptied at 10pm. I said ballot boxes.
A famous date night for me was the day that Nicola Sturgeon was arrested.

Re: As the polls open in Gorton & Denton here’s the latest betting – politicalbetting.com
MY money is staying in my pocket or put another way I've had an ante post play on MONTEMARES at Kelso on Saturday in the hope the drying ground will help.On the BE -Where would your money be ?
Lab - Playing with house money, Everyone expects them to lose. If they win its a huge boost for them - despite the fact they should never be in a position to lose this seat.
Ref UK - Need to win - a reputation for coming second gets you nowhere.
Greens - Need to win - its almost as good a seat as could come up for them.
LD - Sitting this one out
Cons - On a hiding to nothing when they should be where Ref UK is now.
I suspect both Lab and the Cons are crossing their fingers and hoping for a Ref UK win. I wouldn't be that surprised by either a slim Reform win or a comfortable Green one
As to Gorton & Denton, as with most by-elections it's short term significance will be overstated and its long term significance understated.
That's easy for me to say but I'd ask the other question - not what if you win but what if you don't win. It's all about the methodone of publicity if you are successful. A positive moment in the public profile is always helpful especially if most of the time you are either vilified or, worse, ignored.
On that measure, I think it's slightly more damaging for the Greens not to win than it would be for Reform or Labour but just my view.

Any word from the by-election? Turnout brisk? Greens still having tantric sex rather than voting? Rain stopping play?I believe tantric sex was reserved for the evening.
Standby for the breaking news when the Greens get out of bed.
