Sometimes it’s the littlest things that can attract you to a person, but on the flip side, seemingly petty details can also turn you off. In a dating landscape dominated by people sharing their icks, it’s perhaps no surprise that tiny missteps can lead to ghosting. To find out the most trivial reasons people have […]

It only takes 15 seconds to appreciate how much Sting did not enjoy a cover of his song, Every Breath You Take, which he was forced to endure at the Polar Music Prize in Sweden, back in 2017. @britishmusichistory Sting watching his song get murdered… 🔪 #sting #thepolice #80smusic #everybreathyoutake ♬ original sound – British […]

We’re a big fan of American comedian Bill Burr, who we’re pretty sure we haven’t written about enough on these pages, so maybe this is a first step to putting it right. It’s the moment Burr was asked by reporters to comment about Elon Musk and the Tesla boycott (among other things) and Burr’s response […]

Not only that, there was a notice on it telling people to ask at the counter if they wanted one. A sandwich, not the entire cabinet. And how appalled was […]

From the Reddit forum that brought us Pope Francis in a puffer jacket – r/Midjourney – comes a pizza advert created by A.I., with prompts from the aptly named u/PizzaLater, who said – “Definitely wasted 3 hours of my life making this today… Everything is AI from the VO to the video and images. Assembled […]

Never let it be said that Donald Trump’s Great Tariff Bonanza isn’t all encompassing. So much so that his worldwide trader barriers have been erected even to entirely uninhabited territories where the only beings likely to be studying his (made-up) figures have two wings and a beak. And just in case you were in any […]

I think most of us would agree that of the three former presenters of Top Gear (and The Grand Tour), then it would be James May that we would most like to have a pint with. He just seems like a top bloke – self-effacing, chilled and with no airs and graces. It’s this calm […]
