Looking up at the TV news and seeing [livejournal.com profile] feorag (I'm 99% sure) standing next to the penguin that just beat the Lib-Dem candidate in Edinburgh!


Later - spotted by [livejournal.com profile] pauldormer - brief glimpse near the end here:

The bit I saw on News 24 was clearer. I was dead lucky, I just came in from the kitchen as it aired.

I haven't watched the footage (I've currently got Flash disabled on this computer, and it's probably an obsolete version anyway) but I think it's likely to have been [livejournal.com profile] feorag. It can't be any particular secret that she was standing as a Liberal (and I mean Liberal, not LibDem) candidate for Edinburgh council, as she's mentioned on her Twitter feed that she got all of 51 first preference votes.

It definitely is, no doubt about it.

It's definitely me. Most pleased.

I got a glorious total of 51 first preferences, which is not bad for someone whose campaign consisted of being out of the country.

Well, commiserations on your well-deserved defeat, and congrats to the penguin!
