    It could have been worse; he might have inadvertently favourited a tweet by @Ed_Miliband
    No no, Ed M will be all the rage in the coming weeks, Danczuk might need to change his tune and embrace the change in public attitude.

    fox - did you see my earlier post (approx one hr ago) about the merits of bet365?

    Yes, Thanks, I shall have a look, though footy season is nearly over. For Leicester City at least!
    .... and for Derby County too, I fear.

    But apparently I can get some more free compost.

    The poll is due out at 10.00pm ..... 6 minutes time.

    Here's hoping for a Tory lead +3 - As long as things look effectively tied, all sides will panic and hope in equal measure. Leaning one way or another and only one will.

    The survey by Comres puts David Cameron's party on 36% of the vote to the opposition's 31%, and suggests the opposite of a "post-Paxman bounce" for Miliband following the pair's live TV grilling last week.

    Yes! - perfect result. Tories cannot claim to be pulling away clearly given other polls with large Labour leads, but Labour cannot get complacent either.

    I didn't know he was in it and was Hang On - is that you? during the opening few mins, so looked it up. It's got the same feel as White Collar and I liked that McG was the director/exec prod. He did a lot of the initial Supernatural and other shows/tongue in cheek action stuff like Charlie's Angels.

    He loves taking the piss out of the genre in a clever way.

    OT For those who liked White Collar and Matt Bomer - I've just tripped across Chuck on Netflix, it's brilliant. I was hooked in the first 3 mins. James Bond meets Big Bang Theory.

    Get's an 8.3 on IMDb - imdb.com/title/tt0934814/

    Matt Bomer is not in it much however (presumably as he was doing White Collar at the time), people should be warned. I enjoyed it immensely for the first few seasons, but for some reason haven't watched it since it wrapped up. Maybe I should give it a rewatch. To Netflix!

    I'll go for UKIP recovering to 13% with them. Conservative lead of 1.
    The comment sounds at the sober emd of the "interesting" to "amazing" range, so I'd guess a lead for either side of 1.

    Golly, if that is worth tuning in for what result would be not even worth tuning in for?

    I predict a small Hell, Yes! bounce = Lab lead of 3.
    Copycat!
    Ah, hadn't seen that. But I did predict which way. If 3 must be Lab 3 surely. Or I will die laughing.
    Wow ..... you and I were both nearly right, we just picked the wrong horse.

    What a corker for the Blue Team!

    Oi, cream-tea boy, I've got a bone to pick with you. I've been reading your latest tome, and no-one ever writes the words: "the ghastliness of Rannoch Moor" without getting a visit from me and the lads, okay?

    "The beauty of Rannoch Moor" is just about acceptable. "The irresistibility of Rannoch Moor" is better. "The magnificence of Rannoch Moor" better still. But "ghastliness"?. You're right out of order, mate.

    No, I know when I've pushed my luck.

    I thought Cameron clearly won the debate, I also thought it would have no effect on the polls. As I said on here several times.

    Was I totally right/wrong/talking risible gibberish? Who the F knows?

    Eyes down for the most exciting election any of us geeks will know. And I am in Australia for two weeks of it! Gah.
    I agree it is going to be a fascinating one. I missed the last one as I was in africa and could only keep up via a dodgy internet at 6 in the morning. There was not enough bandwidth for later in the day.

    Keep a stiff upper lip though. There will be polls and rumours of polls...
