livebrum: @thestirrer Cheers Adrian, enjoyed that podnosh: @bounder Good job. peteashton: Night night Adrian. That was actually really good! Much more interesting that national coverage. podnosh: Nite Adrian. livebrum: @bounder http://hashtags.org/tag/brumcc/ print to PDF peteashton: What are the odds DD has had a drink? peteashton: I must say, Adrian has gone way up in my estimations. He's carving a very nice niche here. Nice one. bounder: and that's a wrap - is there any way we can export this conversation to Word so the council can read it? star_one: it's been fun, but ultimately all credit & thanks are due to the people who've worked so hard to bring us tonight's coverage. peteashton: Neville the florist is on. bounder: Neville _has_ had a drink. Not seen Martin at all peteashton: Hang on, did Martin appear on camera at all? podnosh: always plan your exit. peteashton: Hughes wants to see what people thought of the stream. Best email him the Tweets then! bounder: who's going to send them the hashtag transcript? podnosh: Springfield Lib ~Dem hold bounder: who's that in the pink suit? cute. "Morning Stephen" star_one: @bounder well, just about... peteashton: No disrespect to Ray but Birmingham really needs a cultural ambassador. He can run it but someone else needs to talk about it. livebrum: @bounder you think? bounder: Ray looks sober star_one: @peteashton - yep, one of the stirrerorati peteashton: Sparkbrook Respect gain. 3rd seat for them. bounder: Rudge Tory, or Whig? podnosh: John O'Shea "losing never good". Tories resurgent, mid term govt, and I've got a shiny rosette (stil) peteashton: http://politicalhackuk.blogspot.com/ is on. He's a Stirrer message board regular I think. graphiquillan: 'owt from Bournville, yet? Or, have I been particularly pap at observing ? peteashton: Alan Rudge: future past future past future future. Huh? podnosh: minority of people who work for Birmingham are confused. Phew! peteashton: The Progressive Partnership. Are the details of the agreement available anywhere? What's the history of this? peteashton: For the record, this map when streamed is hilariously useless. http://snurl.com/26q2d star_one: syrup alert ! bounder: @graphiquillan it's purely the scale that worries me - or worries walsall peteashton: I'd like to see some coverage of what informed some of the votes, ie the Mullaney stuff. graphiquillan: @bounder is it shaped like a pork pie? Does it have horns? podnosh: we appear to be the most popular hashtag from what I can see. podnosh: Patrick on the gogglebox Adrian on the googlebox peteashton: A thought. Talk has only been about parties. Nothing about the actual candidates and uber-local issues. That's a shame. star_one: adrian's flagging - somebody give him a banana ! bounder: scary drawing pin takes Walsall peteashton: Albert Bore not what I'd imagined. I thought he'd be a gruff balding fat trade union type. star_one: national labour decline blah blah bollox suralbert... podnosh: Albert : Tories win when Labour voters don't vote Labour. peteashton: Albert Bore "Not only a poor night, it's been a bad night" Turnout down in Con gains. Lab vote stayed home. bounder: Pete Smallbone beating Caroline badley - that's the pun i've waited 2 hours for bounder: @peteashton overall majority i think peteashton: Ooh, a graph: http://snurl.com/26pzd What does the bar say? podnosh: John Denham "proud of the last ten years". Blaming the banks and oil prices. peteashton: @bounder ROLFCOPTER! Stop it! bounder: @podnosh perhaps he's live streaming star_one: "we'll have the latest results for you just as the next ones come in" - class ! podnosh: I do hope AG doesn't need to finish an interrupted no2 peteashton: "We may have swings and... um.." He so wanted to say roundabouts! podnosh: @bounder Thats you jon. peteashton: Best way I've found to track this stuff is http://summize.com/search?q=brumcc Thanks @anamilgram bounder: is it me or are they flirting? bounder: poor Adrian, where are all the short politicians? even mistress LOL was taller peteashton: Whitby started well but descended into the usual style where I switch off. Nice try. bounder: where can you get rosettes these days? podnosh: "faux pas" - pronounced well. Local politics gets highbrow. peteashton: Whitby: "Remarkable results" due to engaging with young people. Whu? Where did that come from? bounder: Whitby thinks he's appealing to young people - any young people care to comment? podnosh: Longbridge tory gain. bounder: "if you've just tuned in this is"... you couldn't exactly stumble on this accidently peteashton: Adrian hopes we're engaging with the stream. I think we are! anamilgram: Well it's been an interesting experience watching BCC results on live streaming and #brumcc on Summize, but now I'm off to bed, have fun peteashton: Lib Dems may have won more seats than Labour. Is there a pie / bar chart somewhere? star_one: is it just me or has twitter on da web crashed ? peteashton: Aston had a turnout of 38%. That seems comparatively very high. bounder: i think adrian might have gone for a poo peteashton: My god, have you seen the HTML for the results page? http://snurl.com/26pwm podnosh: looks like AG is in indulging in a pre-bed number 2 - or praps he's popped out for a kebab. podnosh: ooh - 2cameras? bounder: you know what we haven't seen enough of @paulthewlis? that "Brilliance" film bounder: that's quite a swing in Weoly AG off for a slash peteashton: Tory winning Bournville does not mean he might win Selly Oak. Bournville is not a transferable place. ;) bounder: about 10 results left by my calculations? peteashton: Adrian proud that he's streaming on BCCs OWN website (rather than a site with some actual functionality...) peteashton: Khalid: "All those things need to be brought back to the front" Though I must say I'm liking him. peteashton: "Back to the basics!" Yay Khalid! bounder: @podnosh he has! dopey fucker podnosh: Khalid almost said "back to basics" podnosh: BBC graphics clearly designed by a cowboy. podnosh: Tories gain Stockland Green. Cath Grundy hangs onto Kingstanding for Labour and stripy tights peteashton: Adrian is holding back the results. Kingstanding was announced on the website at least 10 mins ago. peteashton: "If it's one vote, it's a victory". Yes, indeed. petelewis: "britain for the british party" ?!?? f**k off podnosh: BBC says BNP gain 2 seats in Nuneaton and Bedworth - is George Eliot grave spinning? bounder: fairly close in Mo podnosh: Mullaney safe petelewis: elections website keen to point out HTML standard compliance, but using .wmv streaming. grrrr... podnosh: "two cheers" political bingo bounder: Caroline has done Badley in Quinton, go on AG some puns please peteashton: Checking some of the low turnouts. Ladywood 16.7% Kingstanding 22% Nechells 22.6% Shard End 23.3% Be interesting to map these. graphiquillan: but can Deirdre plumb? podnosh: AG says BNP and respectable in same sentence. livebrum: Just realised what that side/back/looking-up view of AG reminds me of.... Penfold from Dangermouse! peteashton: Geezer-less Stuart.

In the flesh! And she's not talking LOL! My illusions are shattered! livebrum: What's with that massive push-pin graphic by the map? livebrum: Deirdre beats Mullaney to the camera. I lose my bet. peteashton: What the stream looks like over 3G on a train. http://snurl.com/26piy podnosh: LOL Deirdre iz lolling at Erdington gane marcreeves: Deirde iz teevee star podnosh: Bingo star_one: well they haven't cared for my friends &colleagues who've had a 3 grand pay cut. podnosh: "pockets of debris" - show us Mike. podnosh: "modern urban conservatism" - Bingo. podnosh: you don't want to be welcome in north brum Mike - they're weird there. bounder: AG is going to have a bad neck tomorrow star_one: is it just me,or is mw actually being quite gracious ? livebrum: laughing out loud at the site of the back of Adrian and a bemused Whitby. podnosh: Mike Bigby - does AG worry that much about stature? star_one: i'm a ladywood resident... podnosh: @bounder whitby says tories gained longbridge and quinton.
