WHATM = What Is Happening At The Moment

Surprised not to see one, but I think its worth doing such a post, for the next 36 hours or so, mainly about the tv coverage I guess.

I am not going to cover it all myself (infact will be a bit busy, so folks, please update any interesting stuff

ALex Salmond will be on in a minute for his Final Speech, his Deputy is just wrapping up,

She ends with... "Lets Go Out Tomorrow, and Make This Happen"... and bigging up Alex...

    We get the result at 7am Friday, no exit polls or results by area, so what's the point staying up? Might as well have an early night and get up at 6am.

    People seem to be so desperate to start a thread now they are getting silly.

    You sure about that? I heard the first result declarations were due in about 2am?

    My understanding is that the final result will be known by 7.00 AM estimated.....

    But results will come in through the night

    The Beeb were going through all their election night machinery showing blues and reds going towards the winning line........what would be the point of that if we were just going to get a 'final result' and nothing beforehand !

    The area will come in from 2am and the last to declare are Glasgow and Edinburgh, so if they swing is big one way it could be known well before 7 but as these are the biggest areas they could swing the result.

    I don't think she really cares. She's just using this to get a few column inches.

    EDIT: Aren't all celebs part of the elite?

    Vivienne Westwood just said something about the English having stuff up their, ahem, bottom

    Haha, was funny, and made no sense




    Now Rab C Nesbitts wife (Mary ?) is saying vote yes

    As is Hannibal Lecter

    quite a lively, bizarre debate.

    Seems a little sad but looking forward to see how the break down of areas and how they swing tomorrow night goes.

    I think Glasgow will vote for independence

    That's what BBC's 'This Week' tweeted, but now other parts of the media are saying that the individual districts will announce their results and not just send them in secret to the woman who announces the whole result at 7am.

    For example if Dundee votes yes with a big majority, that's good news for independence supporters, if not then the union supporters should be pleased.

    I am not staying up just to listen to a load of experts chatting, if they don't get any results as the night goes on.

    Aha, this explains it. Dundee at 3am is the thing to watch out for.

    Lol yeah there used to be a thread over on the BB forum when there was live feed where some posters would save the rest of us the trouble of watching 24/7 and post in What's Happening At The Moment.

    It was bizarrely handy when bickering over a contentious moment.

    The housemates yes, but the WHATM threads were actually the friendliest ones for posters in the forum.
