It's weird- I used to know this bloody city! Trying to sort out where and in which direction the photos were taken makes my head spin!
Cheaper than travelling- in a year or two maybe we'll go into town, get lost and enjoy discovering a new city :) -
10 Brownlee points for entertainment :) Coo!

Capture: Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand, in reply to Lilith __,
That is scenic vegetation! Lovely :)

Or even vaguely :)
I’m not sure I want to take sides. But the snide attacks on Cunliffe strike me as just as damaging to Labour as the leadership speculation.
And blaming Cunliffe for all the speculation about Shearer’s leadership is weird.
Shearer has had 11 months. I think most folks would give him a few more. But his performance to date has been unimpressive. That’s always going to lead to instability.
Maybe Shearer can become an effective debater, take Key on in the house, and inspire the country on TV and radio. But he needs to turn it around pretty fast.
I’d like to have seen Shearer hold out a hand after he won the leadership. Cunliffe as deputy-leader, for example. Keep your friends close, etc. Clark did something like this with Cullen, and that ended up working well. It’s a sign of confident leadership.
Demoting Cunliffe will just look petty. -

Mitt Romney sings his concession speech :)

Fox calling it for Obama... and everyone else saying Nate Silver has won :)

Google election results are pretty good if you want to drill down to county level.

Hard News: The Big 2012 US Election PAS Thread, in reply to Kyle Matthews,
Yeah, the Huffington post showed 2 million votes cast in Ohio, 1% reported a while ago. Not good maths.
It's weird, but probably the early vote results on the one hand, and the precincts reporting on the other...
