April Fools Cancelled

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by Pete1950, Mar 31, 2020.

  1. This year so far has seen extraordinary, unprecedented developments daily, and the world turned upside down weekly. On top of that we are afflicted with fake news, lies, panics, and frauds more than ever before. No-one knows what might happen next, and it is hard to know what reports to believe.

    Against this background, the last thing we need is a spate of wind-ups and "jokes" on 1st April. Let's just give the April Fools thing a rest this year, can we. It's just not funny any more.

  2. Without humour though; even in the face of terrible circumstances, the world would be a colder place.
    It is a way of coping. But I understand the sentiment. Humour and being nasty or cruel are not the same thing.

  5. You are supposed to wait for the day and do it before 12am. You are a bit early. Good try though!

  11. Yes, Happy Birthday! I suppose that there must be many people who have a Birthday on April 1st. I guess people don't really plan these things in August :cold_sweat:

  19. @chizel is the only person I've heard of that will get drunk, be sick, have a fight, make up and have sex on his birthday, all while being locked in by himself due to Covid. ;).
