- It’s a common problem that if a serious woman is trying to do a serious job, the media are often pointlessly fussing about what she’s wearing when they would never do the same to a man in the same position. This is usually bad behaviour and journalists need to get their priorities straight, but if you’re trying to get people to take you seriously while you run the country, don’t dress like a fucking clown.
- Competition to see who can swim the most lengths in a pool full of curry.
- Anonymous hotline you can call if you plan on doing a crime. They’ll offer helpful suggestions to alternatives.
- All surveys should end with the question “How could we have improved this survey?”
- Some sort of app that aggregates all the gps data from your fitness tracking sessions (runkeeper, fitbit, etc) into one map and show you the percentage of local area explored, like the doom automap
- Society where people can elect to go into a coma for a long period of time, like if there’s a food shortage, just pop half the population into storage for a while. Or can be voluntary, if you don’t like the new president, just go to sleep for four years.
- Post election military parade outside of stormont, but not just the official military, ALL the militaries, in order of impressiveness, starting with the tanks and regular army, then the TA, then the fellas in balaclavas and beer bellies, some bloke driving a “one man all terrain assault vehicle” (also known as a tractor) all the way down to some wee steeky with his hood pulled up, carrying a pointy stick]
- Meat crisps. A bag of slices of crispy meat, shaped like various cuts of meat
- Crime fighting squirrels. They’re just regular sized squirrels, but they fight human crime.
- Bananut bar. Nutty base layer with half a banana on top
