No way, that would be boring! Last time around they decided to let everyone think I was still president.

Oh, I do hope Earniel and Val cook up something good again this time around. Tessar, too, but I think they leave him out of the loop on these type things. Poor lad.

I'm betting he wore a neck-tie... as in the famous Freudian knot.

And a funny thing about that is that the Norwegian word for "neck-tie" is "slips"

And when you cut the Gordian knot of the neck-tie, what happens to the guy wearing it?

She should indeed tie the knot very soon - I don't remember the date, but early in May. It shouldn't be Gordian or Freudian, though, neither should anyone use their sword to cut it

1. Good question!

2. Yay (again) for Midge tying the knot!

And when are the PTB going to announce that they have a winner, but that we will have to hunt for the results to find out? I mean, even I'm excited and I already know who won

I'm tying the knot in late May, on the 29th, to be exact. Three weeks from today! Yay!

Hector, how on earth do you know who won?

Simple.

I just take the ratio of the winning parties from previous elections, average them out, deduct two percent, halve the points, add 45 and a half percent, then reconvert it all back to decimals. Elementary, my dear Midgson, elementary

I also have no idea what the crap I was talking about.

If I can't tell when I'm going to be able to get on line, I'm going to have to be vague. However, I'll be a little more precise now, the results will be in my following post.

Unfortunately, as fun as that would be, I realised it would take me the whole weekend to put it together. So maybe some other time.

You have problems with this free and fair election, you take it up with me and the plastic gecko. I'm sure there's always space in the Teacup Cafe pond for another newt.
