By my quick calculation, and including Braunton East, I make it that with the two Beaconsfield seats being counted this morning, hempie is so far ahead of Robert by a tiny fraction of one fault. How bloody predictable.  andrewp, though , is I think in third place in hot pursuit |

I am largely holidaying from posting here for a few days on medical grounds - I had an eye op on Sunday and at the moment have very limited vision. My research on this weeks by elections will be very limited, but I will try and stick a finger in the air and put something in by way of predictions if I possibly can. However as I can't see very well what I have typed ( I'm resorting to a magnifying glass, but editing is a real pain), I may possibly not mean what I write...  |

Hope the operation works for you in the longer run.
Can't you get someone to check over what you have typed?

Hope the operation works for you in the longer run. Can't you get someone to check over what you have typed? thanks for that- I will try and respond -it's practice to see what I can do. Generally I'm here with my wife whose severe dementia means she has lost all means of reading and writing. Various carers come in to help us but its no part of their duties to proof read my frivolities. Other friends might drop in but I don't know when and whether it would be appropriate. to ask them- depends on the friend. The most likely member of my family, my younger son, is currently in Beijing locked in high-level negotiations with the Chinese government. Well think I managed that but I have left my wife and she is engaged in tearing up any papers she can get her hands on  |
