さっき行ったら小学校の体育館前は行列で、投票用紙を貰うまで5分近く並んだと思う。
午後から雨という予報なので、早めにという人が多かったのもあるだろうが、投票率は高くなりそう。
国民審査はいつものように全員×。
この方式を知ったのは、中学生の時の塾で教えてもらった時だと思うが、講師が「ズルいやろ？」と言ってたのに凄く同感だった。
選挙権を貰ってしばらくは、新聞を読んでから×を付けるようにしていたのだけど、もう面倒くさくなって、ここ10年くらいはずっと全員×にしている。

Dearly beloved, it is with a heavy heart and a sad face that I say this to you this morning.
As of last Friday the 28th August, I have been forced to leave the Manchester rock'n'roll pop group Oasis.
The details are not important and of too great a number to list. But I feel you have the right to know that the level of verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family, friends and comrades has become intolerable. And the lack of support and understanding from my management and band mates has left me with no other option than to get me cape and seek pastures new.
I would like firstly to offer my apologies to them kids in Paris who'd paid money and waited all day to see us only to be let down AGAIN by the band. Apologies are probably not enough, I know, but I'm afraid it's all I've got.
While I'm on the subject, I'd like to say to the good people of V Festival that experienced the same thing. Again, I can only apologise - although I don't know why, it was nothing to do with me. I was match fit and ready to be brilliant. Alas, other people in the group weren't up to it.
In closing I would like to thank all the Oasis fans, all over the world. The last 18 years have been truly, truly amazing (and I hate that word, but today is the one time I'll deem it appropriate). A dream come true. I take with me glorious memories.
Now, if you'll excuse me I have a family and a football team to indulge.
I'll see you somewhere down the road. It's been a fuckin' pleasure.
Thanks very much.
Goodbye.
NG.
