No, I mean you've done hours and hours of broadcasting, Chris.

Well, there is that, but you know...

This is the kind of time of year where Laura and I and others, you know, just try and keep on going, really, because there's so much to talk about, isn't there?

There's so much intrigue.

There's so much.

And particularly with this set of elections, there's just so many different storylines, aren't there?

There certainly are.

And it's election time.

And that means that we stay up for a long time.

Laura gets very excited by her flipper.

I had four flippers this year.

Do you have a cheap... Well, Laura, you can explain your flipper.

They're my photo albums that are full of all my alphabetised fun facts about all the different council seats or constituencies if it's a general election flipper.

It's like a file of facts.

They're old photo albums and you have to get them on a website that sells old things because you can't get them in the shops anymore.

And then you can flick between them without having paper scattered all over the desk and then you've lost the one from Tameside or whatever.

Exactly.

I love the fact that our youngest newscaster does not know what A, a file of facts is and B, a photo album.

Shall we get on with it?

This is Saturday's Newscast.
