gee wouldn't it be torturous for you if it was announced while you were in a car driving somewhere, or maybe in a queue or waiting room waiting for something, knowing that you couldn't get back to a puter to blog for some hours ;-)
Not going to think about it - I could lose millions.
well i paid for my mischevious comment above - i was at the gym when the announcement was made and all I got to see was Judy talking about some breaking news WITH THE SOUND OFF and NO REVEALING PICTURES and 4 MINUTES TO GO on the treadmill. torture. i couldn't even know for sure that that was the subject of the breaking news, all i could read off her lips was the bit at the end when she said "more on this on One News at 6". and to top it all off a woman on the cycle in front of me was reading an article about Brash. bah humbug at the gym. i may never go again ;-)
I want to say is I already picked up a bottle of wine on this election date from a National Candidate - we're now going to drink it when she becomes an MP on Sept 17 (Well, yes - technically she's not one until she is sworn in, but we'll be celebrating then.)
