Sara Cox is undertaking an enormous physical challenge to fundraise for #ChildreninNeed, yet there are some people (7 in this case) who still feel the need to piss on such achievements.
Some things are better without like/dislike options.

I'm amused by this paragraph about changes to #ImACeleb Bushtucker Trials (not that I go out of my way to watch it):
"ITV said all celebrities want a chance to do trials, and viewers don't want to see the same person doing them day after day."
-- if that's the case, why would the viewers keep […]

Does anyone have any #recommendations for an ergonomic #keyboard and mouse / combo?
I currently have a ProtoArc EKM01 combo - but the mouse scroll wheel died a few months ago and recently the left shift key keeps popping off when I'm mid flow.
I like that […]

Amazon seems completely OBSESSED with recommending breakfast cereal to me at the moment, even though I can't find anything in my purchase or browsing history even remotely related to it!
These are just 3 of the many I've had recently.

I use Google Keep for my shopping list. Somehow, as I was browsing the supermarket shelves with phone in hand, I managed to add 21 animated GIFs of Edmund #blackadder to it. Subliminal message to buy turnips?
