No, I get that, but if there's a major decision to make, that would normally require the head of government (Since the monarch isn't allowed to do that stuff), who fills in?

The hand over doesn't last much beyond an hour (if that). If it requires that level of intervention (e.g. because Togo has invaded Bethnall Green) then the formalities would be dispensed with.

Ok, so even if he resigned on Friday, then Cameron would have been the "unofficial" PM if something came up?

If Brown had resigned on Friday, Cameron would have been PM on Friday.

Amusingly the BBC is following a silver jaguar with a helicopter film crew because they think David Cameron is in it, and he's not entitled to the police outriders until he's officially PM. It would be really funny if this car didn't contain Cameron and it's got a businessman having an affair with his girlfriend, imagine the scene when the car door opens and he steps out with her to be filmed. It would be hard to explain that one away to the Mrs.

Is that a good thing?
This is a genuine question, all I know is that the guy is as boring as paint drying and that he, at least it seems to me at least, has completely botched the handling of the economic crisis in the UK.

It brings the general election to a close here in the UK. A government can now be formed. Those ministers who lost their seats can now go on about their lives - the new PM will appoint new ministers.
I don't want to get into my politics, but I view Gordon Brown as probably the worst PM this country has ever had; certainly he has done more to wreck the country than just about any other PM could have possibly achieve. For all his faults though, he had one thing going for him; he isn't Tony Blair.

It is also a time to calculate how much money was actually spent on this election (and remember we are still not out of the recession yet).
In India, huge amounts of money goes into an election of this stature.

We prefer not to say spent. Let's just say.... wasted.

Master Hughes, as always, you are quite succinct, brief, concise, to the point and is your fantastic habit, quite humorous!

Yesterday, the iPad went on sale (for pre-order) in Canada. As I try to never make decisions like that on my own, I went to a "decision maker site", which randomly told me, "No, don't buy one." Later, I flipped a coin, and it came up, "No, don't buy one." Finally, I rolled a number of dice, and they came up, "No, don't buy one."
So, what does everyone think, should I buy one?

Are you looking for the one place that actually tells you, "Yes, your hard earned money is burning a hole in your pocket, you need this frivolous waste of money to be in your hands"
Buy One! scratch that, I can't possibly tell you to buy such a device. Don't do it!

It wasn't obvious? :P I was considering a "OK, best out of 18", or maybe emailing Jobs to ask him, but figured I'd start here.
