Last night, I went to a multiplex cinema on the outskirts of Nottingham. As well as being an aesthetic representation of everything that was awful about the nineties, tickets cost eight pounds. Not a good start. Then I was exposed to no less than four separate ads telling us about how amazing going to the cinema is. All in the space of twenty minutes. Bloody hell.

Joe has been a trifle short of cash recently, so he thought he would put his God-given talents to good use. He's emailed Ed Miliband with a mutually beneficial opportunity.

Two engineers from the UK have designed a fabric that solidifies into concrete when you add water. They intend for their invention to be used in humanitarian efforts, enabling solid concrete tents to be erected within two hours. Selfish humanitarians, keeping it to themselves. This fabric has so much potential for mean spirited hilarity. Here are a few of my ideas.

Joe's been having a spot of trouble and didn't know who to turn to. He eventually decided to email one of those shining bastions of altruism and public service-- his local Conservative MP.

A few months ago, I posted a photo showing how Amazon ridiculously overestimated the amount of packaging they would need to ship a Powerball to me. This week, I received an item that was even more overpackaged. Prepare to be astounded.

Last week, I decided to try and deactivate my Facebook account. It was more a cry for help than a genuine attempt. When I reached the deactivation page, however, Facebook started getting really creepy.
