Unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock the past few months, or rather hiding under one to avoid the relentless coverage and annoying memes, you will undoubtably know there was an election earlier this week. Yesterday, in fact. And the results are pouring in as I\u2019m writing this post.<\/p>\n
But who did your friends vote for? Does it really matter, and should you even care? Well, if you\u2019re friends are anything like ours, \u2018shaming\u2019 you into voting with motivational Facebook updates (yawn), then we think it\u2019s very important!<\/span><\/p>\n So in the interest of cutting certain friends out of your social circle and forming new alliances with people you never imagined shared similar views, we\u2019ve put together a few points to consider.<\/span><\/p>\n a. A pint of bitter the colour of the treacle, with a head of cream like a Walls 99.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n b. A bottle of something imported. The label looks more pricey than the one inside your shirt.<\/b><\/p>\n c. Larger. Simples.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n d. Cosmopolitan.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n a. Farmers markets, for everything, including clothes.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n b. Marks and Spencer. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n c. Used to be Tesco, now Lidl.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n d. All of the above<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n a. James Bond, of course!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n b. Bond. All the way.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n c. Bond.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n d. Something with little dialogue, scores of orchestral music and sweeping shots of flowery scenery.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n a. James Bond, of course!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n b. Just the colour grey.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n c. FHM cover girl.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n d. A picture of their pet.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Results: UKIP, mainly a\u2019s. Conservative, mainly b\u2019s. Labour, mainly c\u2019s. Lib Dem, mainly d\u2019s.\u00a0<\/b><\/span>It\u2019s a tie, no surprise really, they\u2019re all the same.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock the past few months, or rather hiding under one to avoid the relentless coverage and annoying memes, you will undoubtably know there was an election earlier this week.
