February 12, 2016: Well thank goodness she's still thriving (as far as we know?) 10 years later! I know Dan's joking here but man, I can't imagine the stress of losing his nana on top of being closeted. I wouldn't wish that on anyone! 👵✈️🌴

January 27, 2016: Dan and Phil's beef with the Sunday Times continues as the newspaper uses what was clearly the first Google image result for "Dan and Phil" at the time! 🤪📰😺
Tweet from Dan Howell posted on 27 January 2016 that says "shout out to @TheSundayTimes for choosing this pic to represent us in the 'britains 500 most influential people' list". Underneath is a photo of the Sunday Times newspaper, open to the front page with "Britain's 500 Most Influential" in huge white text against a green background with several celebrities and sports stars running down each side of the page, including Adele and Malala Yousafzai. The page on the right lists 26 different tech founders and YouTubers, including Dan and Phil. In the bottom left corner is a large photo of the two of them, screenshotted from PINOF 4, where Dan and Phil are pulling the derpiest faces they can.
