Originally an Amazon DVD review from the USA, I believe and still one of my favourite things I've ever read

Ricky Gervais wearing black angel wings can you handle it grandad!?

Ricky Gervais in Christ pose with a standup mic and ATHEIST scrawled on his bare chest what's the matter Reverend did I blow your tiny mind?!

Ricky Gervais lighting a cigar with an American banknote have you had a heart attack yet?!

Nobody loathes Ricky Gervais more than the person on his team who keeps telling him photo-shoots like this are a good idea. The greatest inside job in the history haterdom. Nobody else gets close.

“[The FAI] could show a real bit of balls and refuse to play Israel. They should stand up in my view for the Palestinian state, the Palestinian people and the Palestinian football organisation.” - Brian Kerr, former Republic of Ireland manager

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

Spotted in Belfast Airport - apparently Heverlee “premium” pilsner is brewed to the “original recipe” which dates back to 1129. Surprised by this, given that lager yeast didn’t emerge until the 15th century and pilsner didn’t exist until 1842. ABInBev really don’t give a shit about beer or drinkers.

As promised, here’s the first part of the three part ‘mini-documentary’ I captured during a two-day visit to Thornbridge last October. Soon to be followed by a podcast and write up, also.

There’s no way Japan has an immigration problem. Unless they mean they need more

Strong agree on this, also think we should move one of the Easter/May bank holidays to October/November so we have something between August and chrimbo

Bank holiday Mondays should be scrapped and replaced with bank holiday Fridays. Who wants to extend the abject misery of a Sunday night by 24 hours? Friday, Saturday, Sunday off is clearly the reasonable way forward.

Drones have made Winter Olympics coverage just incredible.
Think it really helps people appreciate how fast and technical the athletes are. Bravo everyone involved

Thanks, Vietnamese Ministry of Labour for this important update

"good morning. i am here today to discuss how me losing my mind is everyone elses fault and how being chronically online to the point where your brain explodes is pretty sweet actually"

Infinitely rewatchable. The smirk as she pulls the ice cream off the cone is brilliant, the slap, the stick, the victim’s reaction. Perfection

Ive watched this about 100 times.

This is why the internet was invented.

Right here.

Peak content.

Known as the “crying horse,” a glum Lunar New Year toy with a manufacturing error has become an unlikely emblem. Many young Chinese workers have embraced it as a symbol of their exhaustion and disillusion. nyti.ms/4k9cAdO

A screenshot from the Graham Linehan Facebook page, dated January 26, 2017. "Here's something to watch for: sub-par entertainers/hacks etc smelling that sweet right wing sucker money and making their move."

Nine years to the day since Graham Linehan foresaw his own fate.

Terrible restaurant could close unless people enthusiastically embrace bad food, complains chef.

The founding fathers got lots of stuff wrong in the constitution. But a minimum age for president, rather than a maximum, is right up there.

Great list and not a lot I'd change, maybe swap out Bullhouse and Anspach & Hobday for Red Willow and St Mars of the Desert. My cross-pennine bias obviously kicking in!

This week in @thetimes.com it’s a tricky one. “Write about your eight favourite breweries” they said. EIGHT?! Not a hundred? Apologies to the other 92 breweries I adore. You know who you are. But these 8 are truly special. (Paywall) www.thetimes.com/magazines/th...

One of those captcha things. This one says ‘select all images with bicycles. Click verify once there are none left’. There are 9 squares - 4 contain photos of bicycle seats, with the remaining 5 showing the beautiful head and face of a grey greyhound with a white stripe going from the top of their head to the tip of their nose.

Hats off to whoever did this (and the beautiful model).
