Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

You will have to wait until Sunday night for UK EU exit polls as a lot of Europe doesn't vote till then.

UKIP stormed ahead in the polls for the Euro elections last night – with Nigel Farage’s party leaving all three major opponents trailing.
By: Sally GuyoncourtPublished: Thu, May 22, 2014
The party looked set for huge wins despite a campaign dogged with controversy after leader Nigel Farage was accused of racism.
A survey by Opinium revealed Ukip had a huge advantage with a 32 per cent share, Labour had 25 per cent, the Conservatives 21 per cent and the Lib Dems and Greens neck and neck with six per cent. A YouGov poll showed Ukip with a 27 per cent lead, Labour on 26 per cent, the Tories on 22 per cent and the Lib Dems limping behind the Greens with just nine per cent.
Mr Farage said a big win would be a political “earthquake”.
He said that he was ready to “do a deal with the devil” and be willing to back a Tory or Labour government next year if it would ensure a referendum on Europe.

They can talk about the elections, but not exit polls for the EU.

They won't count until Sunday as France and some others go to polls Sunday. No counting until all countries polls have closed. No discussions in media of exit polls until all polls closed Sunday.
The council elections will be counted tonight and tomorrow I believe.

Haystack, if you don't vote then you lose the right to moan or comment on the results! I don't care who you vote for - just do it. :-)

If I vote it will be a spoilt paper as I don't like the whole MEP business.
For a few years I was deliberately not on the electoral roll to avoid jury service. It is a pain to have to do jury service when you run a business. I managed to get out of it twice with a lot of effort but got fed up with being asked.

you should be ashamed ..... you clearly want to live in a democracy, appear to be a political activist, but seem not to be prepared to honour the principles on which this system is built

I vote in council elections and General Elections but not EU.
I am also not in favour of jury trials. Trusting 12 idiots to come to the right verdict does not seem a good idea.

Well if that was the case and I dont doubt it Hays, it goes down on your Credit Check with Experian and the other 2 and would have meant you wouldnt have been able to get any new credit or a mortgage for 6 years at least, until re-signing up on the electoral roll.
I know you probably dont want these facilities BUT you never know.
A lot of these ruffians who have debt outstanding do the same thing to try and avoid having thier collar felt but in time they are caught.
Some employers even use (credit check) it when checking your CV details.
I make sure I fill it in immediatly on my PC.
