It certainly is. The path to Heaven is through a plantation of tea plants!

Oh yes, certainly yes. It is a good thing. I approve of it.

That's a good idea. Impatient people first.

Now there's a thought.

Who has the flask?

Ive got this...

That's perfect Cactus.

Now we just need some banana sandwiches wrapped in tinfoil. (With some sugar on them)

A torch would be good. And some back issues of Beano and The Economist.

All set then.

The first voter into every Polling Station gets a bonus 10 votes, but keep that to yourselves.

I'll bring the Beanos.

Im still trying to read the consolidated version of the Treaty - I suppose it will do as a pillow.

Keep it in case of emergencies - starting a fire, toilet, amusing yourselves with paper airplanes ..

Ye think ye're cool queueing all night but I'm a real Referendum fan - I had my vote transferred upto Donegal so I could vote last Friday

hi there folks,

bit of a booboo with the username but i'm sure ye all recognise me as zakalwe over in the other nerds site i unfortunately all to often frequent!

am voting yes by the way.

Your avatar is very flirtacious zakalwe. Been snogged by many princesses yet ?

Your avatar is rather cute, zakalwe - perhaps slightly bilious looking but a place like MN can't have enough frog princes. Good to see you. And we need some Yes voters here too. Why yes for you?

Today is my birthday so I'll bring a cake as well .

Happy Birthday Helium. Taking that into consideration, you can vote first.

Will I be in trouble if I admit to being one of the ten people who have already voted in this poll?
If it's any consolation, I will probably be the first in my polling station.

Before polling, 7 no and 3 yes votes were polled.

I have just voted No and brought the Noes up to 8.

I'm "Yes", but a late convert from undecided. In my family the split is 50:50, so I'm predicting a NO result. (We are either FG or non FF Dub south and DL rathdown voter stereotypes, so I'd predict a 60% "No " based on this, deeply flawed and unscientific poll)

What swung you, in the end, VictorM?

My family is almosts entirely No (and I had nothing to do with it!). Even my 6 year old nephew is quoting posters, telling us to vote no because saying yes to Lisbon is saying no to choice. Scary.

voted YES at 0740. so now my vote on this forum actually represents a real vote!

Thanks for checking in zakalwe. Would you by any chance like to open a Why I Voted Yes thread?

Crankiness is catered for here. We have an insomniac - nightworkers thread here somewhere if you like posting in the early hours.

Voted YES.
Quite happy to do so.

Non!
