Woohoo! By predicting that Labour would have a 180 majority and that the Lib Dems would have 60 seats in total by the end of the election, I won the equivalent of a subscription to Private Eye in Amazon vouchers in this Metafilter competition run by Nick Sweeney.

The secret of my success? I used this page to input roughly the same Labour majority that they have now, and figure out what total the Lib Dems would probably get (it would increase, obviously).

No real updates for a while since I have exams. I might be popping into the forums every now and again.

Hah - as if this is actually true! (census on teenager's use of computers - strangely enough, games come in last place...)
