In the grand scheme of things this isn't anything, but it's also a perfect encapsulation of why the entire C-suite class would best serve humanity by being ground into paste and fed to pigs.

Omg

"We made some changes to McVitie's Penguin and Club earlier this year, where we are using a chocolate flavour coating with cocoa mass, rather than a chocolate coating. Sensory testing with consumers shows the new coatings deliver the same great taste as the originals," the McVitie's owner, Pladis, said in a statement.
Club's classic advertising slogan citing its chocolate content is no longer in use, replaced by: "If you like a lot of biscuit in your break, join our Club."

It was, if the spirit of Iain Banks will forgive me, the day the pope exploded

Or, to be strictly accurate, today is the 67th anniversary of the day a botched embalming saw Pius XII’s rotting torso break open while he was lying in state

(Yes, sorry*. This thread is disgusting)

(*Well, kind of)

Papal Swiss guards in costumes – and especially helmets – that could have come from the 1980 Flash Gordon film flanking the dead body of Pope Pius XII in a big, posh room in a palace in Rome. The pope is covered in plastic, in a way that suggests he has been inexpertly shrink-wrapped. This will be explained later

Can't find anything conclusive but a few references saying they were invented by Barratts in the 1940s and are supposed to be raspberry flavour

Why are all the bad things "here to stay" and all the things I love up for constant debate until they're eroded out of life altogether?

You don’t have to be called Steve or Stephen to work at Blackpool, but it does help.

A club statement from Blackpool saying Steve Bruce has been sacked along with coaches Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence. Stephen Dobbie and Steve Banks will take temporary charge.

I didn't realise you could delete the Discovery feed because they don't call it deleting. You unpin it. But it's the same effect, it's gone and you don't accidentally click on it any more.

Kim Hu @kim-hu.com · 14d

I deleted that one from my feeds list so I’ll never ever accidentally click on it lol. It’s the bad place

It’s important to learn that you spell lose with one ‘o’ because there is a world of difference between someone losing their shit and loosing their shit.

Bad pokey. This is not how GDPR works. You can still get ad money without the need to track people. I'll see ads but there is no legitimate reason you need to personalise them. Any site that does this instantly loses my traffic

The poke is now demanding you pay or they will track you. No option to withdraw consent

“Ah," said Mr Pin. "Right. I remember. You are concerned citizens." He knew about concerned citizens. Wherever they were, they all spoke the same private language, where 'traditional values' meant 'hang someone'.
