Cheering myself up

[matgb]

Today has not been a good day. I spent most of the afternoon and early evening at the count, watching friends lose their seats or not gain them, then watched ballot papers get piled higher and higher in the "No" slot, and then had to clear a big pile of potentially spoilt ballots, which overwhelmingly meant me saying "yup, that person clearly meant to vote No" a lot more than the other way around.

So tonight, I'm watching Victoria Coren on Have I Got News For You (not a single guest I can't stand, this is a step up) and looking for things that make me laugh. This is doing the rounds:

Any and all links to funny, irreverent stuff that have nothing to do with politics, especially not the bloody awful AV referendum, very very gratefully received. As long as it's not LOLcats.

The golf rules are from How To Be A Retronaut (retronaut_feed), which is filled with many other good things.

It seems there are hundreds of versions of this pic now but that one made me laugh earlier.

Oh wait, it's politics..

Ah, US politics is OK, that's not a sore subject tonight. Same pic was on HIGNFY with Princess Beatrice's hat on everyone, that made me chuckle.

The question is, are they playing Alliance or Horde?

Heh at the first one. There's a tetraptych at the Fitzwilliam Museum raggedy_man identified as YCMA (the Y also a crucified Jesus) and claims they deliberately changed the order so it wouldn't be obvious. ;o) Unfortunately the Fitz bans photography in the galleries so I can't provide proof.

Thank you for the first one! Gleefully stolen.

Victoria Coren is one of those people I find pretty attractive, but also feel a bit like I shouldn't. A little like Sue Perkins, but that's for a different reason, really.
