I’m starting #Whamtastic - every time you hear Wham’s ‘Last Christmas’ naturally you get points.
Team up with 4 or 5 other people and who ever has most points gets a Toblerone from the others.

Whamageddon stopped being mildly amusing about 7 years ago. Remember how Facebook was quite trendy in 2008? Well Whamageddon is on a similar cultural trajectory and now is like Facebook in 2013 when your mate’s racist Nan has added you and you have to see fucking Minion memes constantly.

I'm getting reports that a firm is cold calling people "offering grants for renewables and quoting that MARTIN LEWIS had encouraged people to engage with the company."
The call is UTTER BOLLOCKS! This is not true. Don't trust them. Politely disengage and don't speak to them.

"Not all of the people in this bog roll advert are white" is such a Luxury thing to have brainspace to worry about. Orange juice is £1.80 a carton, Susan! The rivers are still all full of shit! A 2 bed flat is half a million quid!

Genuinely curious what Sainsbury’s are thinking playing David Walliams screaming at you every few minutes over the sound system. My first guess is they’re trying to drive everyone to internet shopping, my second guess is they’re trying to drive up alcohol sales

Some good news.
London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.
The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.
