I will never be able to put into words how frustrating it is that we're constantly lumped in with the UK in terms of content offered on streaming. No Doctor Who or Wallace and Gromit because "they're on the iPlayer". Only problem is that we can't feckin' access it so we're left wanting!!

Crazy that this had to fo as far as it did in what seems like an open and shut case. A lot done on data protection, a whole lot more to do.

Not really a quote but "yoink" and "meh" are two classics of Simpsons origin.

But the actual answer is "I am so smart, I am so smart!"

The fact that they brought back Guaglione and had a Nitrosurge can doing the famous dance 30 years later proves that Guinness truly are the kings of advertising.

- Staff in Oxford Street store made to put 'bumgravy' and 'backdirt# on jars
- One poor worker was even convinced that 'arsemuck' was an Irish name
- The 30-year-old admits he's spent £19 and doesn't even like Nutella

What's the stupidest thing you ever got in trouble for? I have... a few, some of which I've detailed here before.

But you might not have heard about the time the Daily Mail did a bullet-point scare job on me in 2016, because I tricked Selfridges staff into printing rude words on some Nutella jars.

Keep seeing people say the Paul vs Tyson fight was rigged.

I'm going to refute this, not because I’m defending Jake Paul, but because I want people to understand the specific scam that’s happening.

When you dont understand how you're being scammed, it just means it can happen again:

I know that the #GameAwards is really just a big ad that's taken over from E3, but shortlisting a DLC for Game of the Year a second time isn't helping their want to be taken seriously.
