Friday

Today is Friday. YOU MUST NOT GO OUTSIDE!

  1. To commemorate the recent birth of the prime minister’s child, the government has requested that all citizens remain indoors for the next few weeks.
  2. Today, why not try to build a pyramid in your living room using white goods and household appliances.
  3. Is there anything more quintessentially British than the gentle ripple of applause wafting over a lush green cricket field, the sound of leather on willow and the fragrant smell of Pimms without the cucumber beneath a blue, cloudless sky? At 8:00pm this evening, try to recreate this scene at your front door as you applaud the work of abattoir workers.

“What will I do today?” you may ask yourself. Deep down you already know the answer. “Same as yesterday,” whispers a quiet, gnawing voice.
