Blears and Smith have stood down, according to rumour Blunkett and Reid have refused cabinet positions, and no-one seems to want to be Home Secretary. And there's a rumour that the backbenchers are circulating a petition to Get Gordon Out.

Anyone want to place bets for when he'll be forced to resign? Or for when we'll (FINALLY) get another general election?

PS: If you're in the UK, and do not vote tomorrow, I will personally come beat you up. I don't care if you vote Bumper Raving Loonies (are they standing?) as long as you vote and it's not for the BNP or National Front. Don't let them gain seats by apathy!

Oh god. My brain is trying to fit BBC News 24 to Joseph songs.

The accuracy of these polls
We MPs do not know
But one thing we are sure about
The leader

Leader
(leader)
Leader

The leader has to go!

Okay, NHS direct have clearly gone to hell in a handcart.

I was calling to verify the Vicky's diagnosis of sinusitis and to find out if I'm likely to get a headpat and a "come back if its still bad in a week" if I go to the doctors tomorrow. Because dammit, I'm not getting up at 8 to call for an emergency appointment, and struggling down there for a headpat.

7PM "We're busy and only dealing with urgent cases. Please only stay on the line if it's urgent. If you stay on and it's identified as nonurgent, we'll arrange to call you back"

Well, it's nonurgent and I'm a good girl and obedient. So I hang up, figuring hey, just after dinner, busy time.

8PM "We're busy and only dealing with urgent cases. Please only stay on the line if it's urgent. If you stay on and it's identified as nonurgent, we'll arrange to call you back"

9:30PM "We're busy and only dealing with urgent cases. Please only stay on the line if it's urgent. If you stay on and it's identified as nonurgent, we'll arrange to call you back. THIS WILL BE IN FOUR HOURS SO YOU MAY WISH TO CALL BACK ANOTHER TIME."

I thought NHS direct WAS FOR nonurgent cases?

(I gave up in any case. I'll call my doctor tomorrow)
