The Aussie's preferred result.

The UK election result preferred by Australians, according to The Age and it's online poll, is... well, a little surprising in this particularly lefty state (so they tell me) in this currently lefty country (again, so they tell me).


Now we shouldn't read too much into it as it's barely 8 in the morning and only 131 people had answered when I screencapped it. Also, like the pasta book, it seems The Age is really a newspaper for cannibals if this story on a losing Masterchef contestant is anything to go by, so you'd think the readership might not have much interest in British politics except how ex-Prime Mentalists should be served.*


Or perhaps there are more expats here who still give enough of a shit about the UK to follow what goes on there.



* With a fruity red and served on a bed of failed ideals.

    You know what she needs? Some 'freshly ground black people'...

  2. Check the link in the post- it goes to the BBC article on the same story. Were you up all night watching the results come in by any chance :-) Go get a nice big coffee.

  4. Anon, nope. The Age isn't as good as The Grauniad. The Graun isn't more than half adverts in the print edition, doesn't keep chasing me to take out a subscription again because I once had it delivered for a year and, most annoyingly, won't take fuck off for an answer. Also Catherine Deneuve gets on my tits some times. But on the plus side I like the Real Footy section.

  5. LOL! Yes, that'll teach me to click on all links...

    Mind you, fatigue was certainly setting in by then...

Add insightful or amusing remarks for me to think on and respond to. Or add annoying comment spam for me to waste time deleting, in which case may your genitals turn square and fester at the corners.
