Conjuctive Humour

Ha ha ha ha ha - had to laugh.

It's election day here today, and I'll vote later. But just now I was watching this week's episode of VIKINGS and there's a scene where they're describing Ragnarök to the Christian. The voice over described all these horrible apocalyptic events, culminating with "at last, Fenrir will swallow the sun and blot out the sky"...

...followed by a news break which announced "Next, the Coalition unveils its policy costings!"

(no subject)

Well, I went and voted. Turned out more "interesting" than expected. No problems voting for the lower house - only six candidates to number 1 to 6 from. But the Upper House had 110, and I DON'T vote "above the line".

In fact when I finished the first time I found I'd filled every box but only got to 107 - so something was wrong. I returned my ballot paper as "spoiled" and got a fresh one. Just to be on the safe side I counted the number of candidates and counted 107 of them, so I asked an official to double check this - the result was 110 (so obvious I can't count). I completed the ballot form again without any problems, partly because I put numbers down in blocks of ten. All done.

Glad I DIDN'T walk the dogs there and back. They would have been howling by the end of it. And annoyingly there was no SAUSAGE SIZZLE at the school where the polling station was!
