I feel very sad about this stuff Berni, regardless the result I feel the damage is done.
That aside I thought in life people are usually encouraged to take chances and venture into the unknown. rather than play it safe.
Also I think the votes should not be counted during the night I've done some night shifts in my time and it's not a place for complicated tasks like counting.
Sadly, a lot of people are cringing, unprincipled cowards, f. They do what they're told by the big man from the government/bank/whatever because he tells them terrible things will happen otherwise.
I know what you mean about nightshifts. I used to do nights in a refrigerated warehouse. It was the most desperate place you've ever seen. The poor *******s were so cold, knackered and miserable, they used to cheer themselves up by howling 'CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTT!' at the tops of their voices so it echoed round the place.
I was once given a lift home by a black bloke called Socrates. Being a fresh-faced 19 year-old I said: 'Like the philosopher, you mean?' He'd named himself after the footballer when he was young (?!), had never heard of the philosopher and thought I was taking the piss
I always felt the hours between 3 and 5 were the worst. Worked nights in the hotel a few times and had a stint as the spare night manager Then did security.
One day I was sent to another site to cover. did the patrols and that then this over enthusiastic fella who worked there showed me his photo collection of castles. I said that's a nice castle. 'THAT'S NOT A CASTLE IT'S A FORT!' :That told me
After ages of these photos he then said to me it's time get the party started. He then started playing episodes of Sharpe on his laptop.
