The EU Referendum: Polling Day

[The Mad Rapper]

I never knew that



Seems he's right and we're wrong...

What have I been doing for the last 42 years?

Besides the fact that doesn't make any sense.....

Yes another think coming doesnt make any sense.

As your link states.

Another THING comming does make literal and grammatical sense

"If we vote leave, are we disqualified from Euro 2016?"

Facebook is so bad I don't know if it's trolling or people actually thinking this.

There will always be people who fall for silly stuff like this on the internet.

Yea, in the Guardian link he say people argue that in modern usage it's thing (probably Judas Priests fault ) but he says thats still contentious, though the similar phonetics can explain the confusion, like should have and should have.

But Mad Hatter said it's always been thing, that's incorrect, it definitely was think even if it has evolved into thing

but he only said that due to the its think post. its not think it is either so both are wrong

makes a nice change from the eu rubbish.

Very very quiet at my local polling station, apparently a very poor turnout according to staff

Always quiet until the evening. People work.

You'll be paying lots of Euros. Might even need to take out a loan.

But that's always been the case (just in pounds) with computers if you really want the best gear and don't have a brilliant job/no family

 

[Freakbro]

Woah - thought it was us Outers that were supposed to be the nasty bigots, instead of you cuddly-wuddly, love-will-solve-the-world's-problems Remainers?

That post suggests otherwise ...

It's only bigoted if the opinion is baseless.....

More voting irregularities at everyone's favourite rotten borough, Tower Hamlets. This time a Labour activist is IN the polling station handing out pro-EU leaflets.

Yeah no real surprise. Can you imagine if they were leave leaflets. There would be all sorts of implications.

I voted "Remain". I just felt I had to go for "Project Fear" over "Project Fantasy" I'm afraid. The risks in leaving were too high and the potential gains did not seem that great to me; I'm not too keen on giving the Westminster Politicians even more power given some of the decisions they've made either.

This is the one good reason to remain. But if the public act like the student doctors and say "we work too much" and then get more money and float away at our expense then we'll be okay.

Leaving the EU gives us, the British people, more power then, arguably, we have ever had!

I got my vote in at 7am this morning, going to be on night shift in front of a computer until 7am again, will be a nerve racking night.

So shocked remain haven't adopted this.

In the case of 'If he thinks he's getting that last piece of pie, he's got another think coming' it makes sense, but I suppose being brought up using thing it just....feels more right

but he only said that due to the its think post. its not think it is either so both are wrong

makes a nice change from the eu rubbish.

Definitely!

Not much point in trying to ape leave. You do realise that campaigning has stopped?

It makes sense as part of the context of the sentence...

"If you think that that, you've got another think coming" is like saying "If you like cats, great because you've got another cat coming" whereas thing would be like saying "If you like cats, great because you've got another dog coming"

 

[McstylisT]

Yes your right. The point is across. Votes are made its wind down time.

If you think that, you have another thought coming.

There, can we all shut up about it now?

It'll make your shift more interesting I'm just going to sleep, the last general election put me off "staying up all night" sessions, zombie the next day(if you know what I mean).

To be fair, Ed Milband would have been a disaster on reflection, although the NHS would have been better off.

What happened to the poll?

I've been out canvassing all day, going home a lot more confident of a win.

It appears that OcUK asked for it to be taken down.
