    • Tory is a homophobe and labour are a bunch of grasping lying commies, will have to vote 4 liberal compsci. It's like shopping at newlook. #

    • What's this prayer day nonsense? How about stop consuming corn syrup and exercise day? #
    • What's the deal with #ukelection Can't bring myself to watch in case labour win. Too much £ in the stock market for the uk to become Cuba. #
    • Bracing myself to look at #ukelection results. If labour are still in power after their trouging and economic destruction, I'll cry. #
    • Con-lib pact, absolutely best election result IMO. Ohhh the tension! The waiting! It's unbearable! #
    • Dear world, please stop. You win. Love Cate. #

    • So yesterday my trainer put me through an insane workout. After, she says she's not sure she could have done that. Today, it hurts! #

    • The Appallingly Sexist Origins of Facebook http://bit.ly/AKXSL /via @dgou @knitmeapony @Brinstar #
