Moment Coldplay concert 'kiss cam' exposes horrified tech tycoon's 'affair' with HR chief This is the cringeworthy moment Coldplay seemingly exposed a tech tycoon’s affair with his colleague.

What a terrible way for your wife to find out you like Coldplay.

We may be standing on the edge of an economic precipice the like of which the world has never seen, but at least my recycling has been collected.

Pensioners turned the heating up so much police thought it was a cannabis farm A thermal helicopter camera wrongly identified a drugs den.

News article of the week:
Pensioners house so hot that the police thought they'd got a grow on. Last time I visited my parents, their house was so hot, it changed my standpoint on the removal of Winter Fuel Allowance.

John Cooper Clarke just mentioned on 6 music that "Clinton's Cards isn't going out of business". In fact, it entered administration in 2012 and 2019, & as recently as 2023, the company appointed insolvency advisors, & looked to close 38 of 179 shops.
Doesn't make for such a pithy statement though.

I'd like to see some verified stats on how many times the word "literally" was used incorrectly during the series.
My estimate; literally 1244 times.
Minah literally said "My head's literally a cabbage".

Today's thought: did "they" call Shaggy Mr Boombastic prior to his 1995 single, or was it self-coined, like Dave Lee Travis calling himself The Hairy Cornflake?

Before Gail’s, there was Kardomah β€˜Michelangelo, ping-pong, ambition, Sibelius, and girls.’

Birmingham history fans:
Long read article about the Gail's bakery chain's soon to open premises in New Street and how it was once the hang out for Bohemian Brummies, and at least one colourful Moseley criminal.

Being in a pub when the local primary school teaching staff have clocked off for Christmas is to witness the scenes of the most appalling depravity.
There. I said it.

With a finely-tuned campaign like this, the writing must surely be on the wall for the Starmer government.

Ensure visiting defecators & micturators alike are aware of your status as a published Viz Top Tipster by simply buying frames from Tiger, before going to Max Spielmann to have them printed and framed then affixing them to the walls of the smallest room in the house.
