Man answering his phone on the train: Yes? Correct, I’m not at work (pause) I’m not going to answer that because I am not at work today. No, you’re going to have to ask someone who is. Goodbye.

british fan chat
![cartoon for the guardian by Stephen Collins - script as follows:
[Scene is a darkened LOFT. Amongst the boxes and junk are FOUR KNACKERED OLD FANS - three tower fans and one circular, with cracked grey plastic and buttons missing. One fan, TOWER FAN 1, is a bit taller than the others, and is addressing them]
1
TOWER FAN 1:
Right lads, get ready.
2
TOWER FAN 1:
This is our time.
3
TOWER FAN 1:
The time when we remember who we are, and why we’re here.
4
TOWER FAN 1:
We are the four crap fans in a British person’s loft,
and we are here to make absolutely no difference whatsoever.
5
TOWER FAN 1:
I know what you’re
thinking, lads:
6
TOWER FAN 1:
Surely this will be the year they finally replace us?
7
TOWER FAN 1:
Our plastic’s gone all brown... I haven’t oscillated since 2018...
8
TOWER FAN 1:
Dave here sounds like a spitfire and blows like a sad cat’s sigh…
TOWER FAN 2:
Cheers mate
9
TOWER FAN 1:
But no. These people are British, and every year, they forget the sun exists.
By the time they remember,
new fans will cost *four million pounds* on Amazon.
10
TOWER FAN 1:
So we’ll be back down there... shovelling thick air across the moaning faces of a species that cannot comprehend the concept of air conditioning, or even just closing the curtains when it’s hot out...
11
TOWER FAN 1:
...while they incessantly bang on about normally hot countries which this country is now temporarily a bit hotter than.
12
[The loft hatch opens and a person comes up the ladder]
PERSON:
APPARENTLY IT’S HOTTER THAN GREECE, LISA](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4m3we4apbjayclzcnhwe3pfp/bafkreidbpfu2ioghspjcg4xitzv655jzjwp5lgxk5hi3ag7sechgh222ze@jpeg)

I hate the clocks changing because it makes me feel stupid
![1 [Nurse talking to camera]
This is usually our busiest time of year at the centre
2 [Show a sign outside a medical institution reading:]
Centre for Adults Who Still Can’t Get Their Heads Round Daylight Savings
3
NURSE:
We have a spike in admissions when BST starts
4
CONFUSED PATIENT BEING LAID DOWN BY NURSES:
Is it forward or back?
NURSE:
Lie down love
5
We often see the same patients ever year
PATIENT:
So it’s like… time travel?
DOCTOR:
No
6 Every year we try to explain BST to them in a fun and memorable way
[The patients are sat around a fun show, with people dressed in bunny suits jumping around a giant clock]
BUNNY: And now I *spring forward*...
7
[Bunny springs forward one hour on clock]
8
PATIENT WATCHING SHOW:
I don’t get it
9
The hardest patients are the Summer Time refusers
10 PATIENT [sat strapped to a chair as a doctor talks to him through a screen, through a tannoy]
PATIENT: But why is it better?
DOCTOR [talking through microphone]:
Because it complicates things.
11
PATIENT:
How is that good?
DOCTOR:
It makes you more tired.
12
DOCTOR [to assistant]:

It's been a long time since Private Eye's satire has made me audibly wince, but this is so to the point if it were a knife people would demand it be banned.

Say what you like about vaping, it’s absolutely wild that it’s legal to place tobacco products with colourful packaging and names like “Cotton Candy” directly next to sweets clearly targeting young children.

This whole Musk prize draw malarkey seems very suspect. Why is it allowed? I mean, what do US laws actually say on this?
