2010 General Election: The Drinking Game(s)
I'm trying to find a decent drinking game for tonight's festivities. So far I've found this one by Army of Dave:
Drinking One Finger:
- When a seat’s result is announced. Now, there are – I think – 649 seats so this might be A Very Bad Thing. Alternatively, you can drink a finger whenever a seat changes from one party to another. Mind you – the way things are going – this could also be dangerous.
- “Thirteen Years”
- “The BNP are twats”
- “Shiny”
- “Michael Gove must be sad that his work experience placement is over”.
- “Hopes & Fears”
- Any other album by Keane is mentioned.
- George Osbourne is allowed to say ANYTHING AT ALL.
- Jeremy Vine’s big shiny machine does something it’s not meant to do. (That is NOT a euphemism)
- Anyone accidentally calls Nick Clegg “Nick Griffin” (Though, if it’s someone from a Murdoch publication, this may be deliberate)
- Anyone accidentally calls Nick Griffin “a massive c*nt”. Sorry. I don’t mean ‘accidentally’.
- An argument breaks out (Extra finger if there is actual violence)
- You utter the phrase “What the fuck’s he/she doing on this?” or “I thought he/she was dead.”
- You laugh at something the Monster Raving Loony Party or similar do or say (You also need to go and take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror)
- You involuntarily cringe at anything.
- You can lip read someone saying a swearword behind the Returning Officer when the vote doesn’t go their way.
- Sleep deprivation causes David Dimbleby to announce “I’M DAVID BUMBLEBEE!” and attempt to drink nectar from Michael Portillo’s face.
There's also this contribution from Danger Man on Cooked & Bombed:
- 1 sip of alcohol for every Lib Dem gain.
- 1 sip for every reference to 1974 or 1983.
- 1 big glug for every 'Portillo moment'.
- 1 shot of tequila when Jeremy Vine is on.
- A bottle of scotch if LfBarfe wins his seat.
- Down a case of 1945 Chateau Rothschild if the Libs win a majority.
I'm going to try and compile bits of the above and other ideas into a little system we might use at our shindig tonight.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
