Perhaps you've heard your friends talking about how there are lots of elections taking place all over the UK on Thursday.
That's because it's time to make some boring but important decisions about local British politics.
OK, but guess what? London isn't the only part of the UK, prick.
Scotland is electing a new parliament, and the SNP are expected to win everything, always, forever, till all the eye can see is great fields of yellow SNP rosettes stretching far into the distance of the majestic Scottish wilderness and into eternity.
Late drama in the Holyrood election as the SNP slump to a 28 point lead. https://t.co/F6b81yQPV5
However there IS a small chance that the Scottish Conservatives will fare better than Labour, due in no small part to the fact that their leader, Ruth Davidson, scored this sweet penalty.
Ruth Davidson just demanded a Hamilton youth coach goes in goal so she can hit a proper penalty #SP16
What have Scottish Labour ever done?
Anyway, let's take a closer look at these lads, the main contenders for mayor of London.
First up there's the Conservative candidate, Zac Goldsmith, seen here about to be hit by a bus.
Throughout the campaign, Zac did some embarrassing-ass dad shit, like this.
Zac Goldsmith: I *Love* Bollywood films Interviewer: oh cool, what's your fave? Zac: *Fails to name a single film* https://t.co/RuJu3ISVct
And also this, when he completely bombed a series of trivia questions about London facts, like what comes after Tottenham Court Road on the Central line.
He was trailing by nine points in a poll on the eve of the election. 👎 🏻👎 🏻👎🏻
Then there's Labour's Sadiq Khan. Have you heard he's the son of a bus driver? It's kind of his thing.
As Mayor, I’ll be the bus driver’s son who makes commuting more affordable. https://t.co/QVH6SaeNh5
In fact it was his bus driver father who decided to name him Sadiq Son of a Bus Driver Khan, which has worked out really well for him politically, it turns out.
The Tories have been saying Khan – who would be London's first Muslim mayor – is "quite dangerous", which lots of people have been very 😒 at.
Of course there is at least one real threat to London if Sadiq were elected.
If Sadiq Khan wins London, I will run naked down Regent Street with a sausage up my bum in protest #LondonMayor2016

But Labour and the Conservatives are of course not the only parties with candidates for mayor! There are also the Greens, whose candidate, Sian Berry, is pictured here with her supporters.
There's also Sophie Walker, the candidate for the Women's Equality party, a brand-new party that panders to a tiny minority of voters: women.
Britain's sweetheart George Galloway is also standing for mayor for the wildly popular and much-respected Respect Party.

He's polling at less than 1%, but, like, you never know!
And there's also this other party, the "Liberal Democrats", but nobody has ever met them and we cannot confirm that they or their candidate, Caroline Pidgeon, actually exist.
Meanwhile in Wales, two dragons do a great battle.
Northern Ireland also has assembly elections, but with completely different political parties to the rest of the UK, because ~~ history ~~.
ALSO, all over Britain there will be elections to local councils, a noble democratic exercise to pick the heroes who will defend political interests a bit closer to home.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! There are also police and crime commissioner elections. You are too bored by this point to learn more, so here's a great crime-fighting Tumblr dog.
OK, at this point maybe you're wondering, "But what can *I* vote for, I only care about MYSELF, I'm such a millennial, me me me me!"
And by NOW you must be asking yourself, "When will I know what election result things have happened????????????????????"
