    I need to go back to The Lighthouse. I watched the first half and never went back to it.

    Minor Pleasures

    My cousin’s and a friend performed The Smashing Pumpkins “Tonight, Tonight” and Bonnie Prince Billy “Beast for Thee” at our wedding. My cousin couldn’t quite figure out the guitar so I ended up getting Matt Sweeney himself to teach it to him over the internet.

    BREXIT

    There were 20,000 less votes in this GE compared to the last one which would be “worth” about 2.6% of the vote in the current election. So trying to make an inference on a 3% change when the sample size changes that much is a stretch. Especially when it comes to a measure like voting behaviour...

    Are you sure you are remaining in a logical state here :P I would come out that again, because it is maths, and not my opinion. All numbers that we are discussing that exist that we can discuss in real sense are literally 100'000s peoples opinions turned into a number. All we can do is observe...

    don't come out with an arch 'it's maths, not an opinion', so, if actual maths doesn't support your conclusion.

    Celebrity Creeps Thread

    Just got around to reading the most vague amount of info about the Neil Gaiman craic. Am i reading right that what is happening here is that these claims are in a podcast, like not a court case result? Could be depp vs heard 2.0 here.

    I know a few of you know more about that part of the world than I do. I guess if it's transcending sectarian divides, then that's good?? I don't know, I never thought I'd see that, but if you say so I'll believe you.

    I don't know how to explain this to you without explaining what an election is to be honest. I get the mathematical idea that you are drilling on there but it doesn't actually come into play in the results.

    BREXIT

    here's a reductio ad absurdum example. party A and party B, support for whom is split precisely across the electorate. in an election with a 70% turnout, the result could swing from a 50:20 vote for party A vs party B, to a 20:50 vote for party A vs party B, without a single eligible voter...

    oh. so you *were* saying that? if you're comparing two elections several years apart, with turnouts of (say) 70%; there is no way you can state definitively that 3% of voters changed allegiance, due to a 3% swing. it is *more* than feasible that the 30% of non-voters (which does not have to be...

    i thought you were stating that people had actually jumped ship in an unexpected way. that there were voters who changed allegiance from unionist to SF.

    You can only compare votes to previous votes, some people will die and some people will come of age to vote and a million other factors come into play - you can't factor in the non voters in any way, you can only deal with the number that exists on the day and how many people turn up on the day...
