I have three of these I've collected over the last 3 years, and none of them work anymore.

Is this the new USB-C future we were promised? With a single-point of failure for everything as the number of ports on laptop decreases year-on-year?

I personally quite fancy having my own duck army

In Herefordshire at least. They're fucking everywhere!

Warning... article contains details of poorly made tea*

I read a horrifying headline about Gen Z making tea in a microwave. How can we campaign against this?

Wasps are having a good year following a cooler summer in 2024 - truly devastating news.

Everytime I pop into Marks & Spencer I grab a bag of these, they have a light batter so they're always really crispy!

When I was younger and started being pestered by a wasp, I ran away from it as fast as I could. People very condescendingly told me "if you stay still, it won't bother you 🤓". Then I'd later hear these same people mention how they were recently stung by a wasp. I am now an adult and still avoid wasps. People still condescendingly tell me the same thing. I ask them if they have ever been stung and they quite proudly tell me they have. I've never been stung. I don't see the logic of sitting still eating an ice cream while a wasp buzzes around you, and that somehow doesn't agitate the wasp.

I can understand why swatting would aggravate them. But not running. Running has always worked for me

Do school kids still belt that out in assembly?

Larry has been a constant fixture of politics and UK foreign relations for a fair while. Just today he was part of the UK-France discourse.

I think he deserves a state funeral when he eventually passes. Should we create a parliamentary petiton?

Someone warn them not to send it by Evri

M&S's viral strawberry sandwich has had a second spin in the spotlight thanks to budget supermarket Aldi, which has mock-launched a random alternative.

Anyone else excited by this?

I found this documentary jaw dropping. Japanese tv producers have to be some of the most evil people on the planet. Did anyone else catch it?

We've had a few newspapers write stories about it too:

RAG WARNING - Daily Mail "BBC viewers left 'in tears and screaming at the TV' after documentary about 'absurdly cruel' reality show that saw contestant stripped naked, starved and locked up alone for a YEAR"

Manchester Evening News "BBC's The Contestant: What happened to Nasubi and how much money did he get for being on show?"

Mirror "BBC fans in shock over 'cruel' reality TV show where contestant starved and told to strip"
