That is excellent. My favourite is Specsavers asking Yorkshire Tea how Sean Bean is. That and whoever quoted Alan Partridge.

I enjoyed GCHQ jumping in that they have detected no intelligence!

World-wide, mega-£££ of free publicity. Genius marketing.

Yep, although I won’t be buying anything based on it, I’m sure it won’t hurt.
I enjoy reading it though, same reason I follow Innocent Smoothies on SM, I find their smoothies too expensive and not actually anything that special so don’t buy them but enjoy their posts.
This was one of the ads I have had popping up all over the place and mentioned a week or so ago, and then couldn’t find when someone asked for a link!

BBC News - Man caught driving with ‘practically zero-visibility’ in Dundee
Utterly mental, and funny for all the wrong reasons.

I can never understand these people. How does anyone think that’s safe? Or what goes through their head as they set off? Also it’s in Scotland so not like they aren’t used to the snow…
Down here in the south it’s a rarity, but I still own a snow brush for the roof as not to blind the driver behind we with a wall of snow when I get up to speed!
What just made me laugh, a quote from this news article:
The blaze is on remote moorland near Tavistock and no residents or animals are thought to have been injured.
My bold.
How the hell do they know that? 
I bet there’s some pretty toasty insects that would argue with that statement…
What makes me laugh in these stories is that fire has for centuries been used as a method of land management; controlled burning of the old allowing new growth, but now it’s a no no and when you get fires like this which becomes a story of ecological disaster. I’m old enough to remember stubble burning after cereal harvesting, which became a no no. It was great fun for us as kids to play with. It’s ironic that since they stopped stubble burning I read that ‘weeds’ that can spoil cereal crops have proliferated, the seeds of which would have been destroyed by the burning.
I wonder how many forest fires as seen on TV in the US and Australia could be stopped or reduced by judicious use of fire to remove dead undergrowth. Might not go down well with the new locals, but would have to be better than and uncontrolled fire burning your house down. When I was kid I read about aborigines in Australia burning dead brush as it removed dead pants, encourages eucalypts and other plants to grow and new growth encouraged food for the pot to graze.
This combination is better than the one on the weetabix advert where someone puts cucumber on them also who puts that much fruit on cereals. Also when putting “milk” on cereals pouring with vigour from a height with gay abandon and not showing the worktop or table covered in milk.
Commandant Air Cadets retweeting an Air Marshal who tags in an account when talking about the air cadets… That’s actually a parody account lambasting project Astra

Are you sure it’s a parody account there appears to be quite a genuine video from him on 5th Feb in uniform wishing the cadets a happy 80th and as his bio list includes diversity maybe actually known to CAC 
I think the # is the RAF’s own but someone has set a Twitter Account up hijacking the # so if he mistakenly puts @ he rages the parody.
Schoolboy error on the part of RAF Media creating a. # and not nicking the Twitter Handle.
Although glad to see the @NextGenRAF account is leaving us alone by not responding to that tag

Whilst the incident doesn’t make me laugh - and I’m glad that the aircraft landed safely.
This would be quite a sight to see in your front garden
