Best election night tweet

And the winner of our award for the best election night tweet is..

Carl Maxim for this gem: Jacqui Smith loses her seat. Fortunately, her husband was watching another channel.

I know little of him other than his blog say this: "Carl Maxim is a crazed chimpanzee pant-hooting at the world from his bijou apartment in London Zoo. He responds well to positive feedback, bananas and custard."

Whoever he is he has kept us all entertained during election night with his tweets and his still cracking them out as we wait to hear what happens next.

His latest tweet at @carlmaxim is: Queen issues public statement: 'Eeeny Meeny Miny Mo.'

Thanks to all those who have taken part.

Looks like we could all be doing it again before long so I'll sort out some prizes for next time.
