Albeit A Parliament Formed Of Board Game Pieces Rather Than Actual People.

My constituency's gone Conservative. I feel as if my vote somehow exploded in the ballot box and burnt up four thousand Lib Dem votes. Blast. Should have realised that was a risk

David Mitchell started the revolution? It's like those photos!

Now all he needs to do is install Charlie Brooker as dictator, and...the UK's pretty much screwed, but in a highly-entertaining way.

[rionaleonhart]

Exactly! I was very much thinking of the photos.

I'd rather have Brooker in power than Cameron, to be honest. Even if Brooker has pledged to punch all Capricorns in the face for no good reason. I'M NOT A CAPRICORN; I'LL BE FINE.

[wolfy_writing]

One of my best friends is a Capricorn, but he's in the US, so unless it's all the Capricorns in the world, it's not a big deal.

And yeah, you could do worse than Charlie Brooker.

Yuffie's a Capricorn. I don't think she'd take kindly to being punched.

There's no going back. I just - I just - I want them to be together. Is that so wrong?

(I stayed up until half past three. I never go to bed past one in the morning. I feel odd. But I did get more than an hour and a half's sleep, my goodness.)

(I basically had two alarm clocks. Both of which involved a Charlie. I was delighted.)

That exchange right at the end was adorable! So married!

I love the playful shoving, though. OMG.

[derryderrydown]

What Riona didn't mention was that David said, "Sit over there!" as he shoved. Which makes me think that Charlie wanted to sit next to David, rather than in his assigned seat.

ALSO what Riona didn't mention (possibly because she couldn't see) was that while David was sitting at the desk, his top half was all staid and not moving, but his legs were constantly fidgeting! Also, his trousers rode up enough that I could see skin between the top of his socks and the bottom of his trousers.

I'm not weird and creepy at all...

ALSO ALSO I accidentally made eye contact with Charlie when he was sitting about five yards away from me. And rather than, like, smiling or anything, I panicked and collapsed into giggles. Oh, yeah, I'm a responsible grown-up. And that's not even mentioning me nearly walking into Jimmy Carr and hitting him with my stick. I should NOT be allowed out in public.

[rionaleonhart]

I didn't hear the 'Sit over there'! ♥! And, no, I couldn't see Mitchell's fidgety legs, although we did have quite a nice view of Brooker's fidgety entire body.

I don't know what to do when I make eye contact with Mitchell at all. I'm afraid he might recognise me from all these recordings, but realistically speaking I don't imagine he does; I'm fairly nondescript.

SIT OVER THERE

Ow my tinhat.

[missnoface]

I'm so very jealous. But I enjoyed watching Charlie swing in his chair in the background while David was talking. I blame you for going "Aw, they're in love."

[rionaleonhart]

I was so amused when I came home and read reactions and realised that Brooker's constant fidgeting had actually been in the background on the broadcast. Hee! Brooker, you are so delightfully unprofessional.

The more people think Brooker is in love with Mitchell, the less awkward I feel, so I shall happily accept blame for this.

[wolfy_writing]

Why is "Charlie Brooker fidgets a lot" suddenly making me want to try writing him? That's the least reasonable reason to try to fic someone ever but swinging his chair around in the background while Proper Professional Work goes on makes me want to fic him.

Did he ever play with random things on the desk? Pens, mugs, paper, things like that?

[derryderrydown]

He had a sheet of paper that he kept reading and re-reading and re-re-reading. Does that count?

[reipan]

I thought of you while I was watching this. Well, sometimes I thought of you. The rest was pretty much my getting distracted by the Mills&Boon novels they have lying around in the JCR. (I'll be with you in a minute, election; "Pregnancy of Revenge" is reaching its thrilling climax. Things are throbbing!)

There was a man handing out free copies of the Erotic Review (General Erection Issue) when we were in the queue. Sadly, I did not acquire one, but several of our party did. We took turns reading bits out. 'The gays in the House of Lords are even more rampant.'
