Because Rishi Sunak ruined Adidas Sambas, I decided to buy a pair. Unfortunately I bought cycling ones by mistake. I can’t return them because I put ‘what’s for pudding’ down the side for a laugh. Rare that I’m actually annoyed. Today I am

Think I left my puy lentils on the train. Well upset. Used smoked garlic and the good wine. If you find a Poundland plastic tub full of lentils at Victoria: please, please heat through with butter and parmesan. You can keep the tub.

Iceland isn't allowed to show its £500,000 Christmas advert on TV this year because it's too political. The supermarket had used an animated film about palm oil and deforestation. It will instead be shared on social media. Full story:

Never have I seen such a bullshit ranking of anything. Not only are Pringles the worst (and not actually crisps, but whevs), but having Wotsits and Quavers so low down? Laughable really.
According to the British public, this is the

crisp pyramid. Have any of your faves been snubbed?

There is now a Madri app. It's called Conectada.
Apparently we're 'never more than 5 miles away from a Madri' in the UK today and the app connects drinkers with their nearest pint.
It will also teach users basic Spanish phrases.

Good friend of mine plays rugby for the Old Alleynians (he didn't go). Post-game, he did a Farage is a twat type of joke, but nobody laughed. He wondered why. Troubled looks all about him. He turned round, and there he was. Farage. Apparently he looked very upset.

Wahaca is launching avocado-free guacamole because of the damage the West's incessant avocado consumption is doing to the planet. Fair enough. Is called 'Wahacamole' (stressful but whevs) and is made from British fava beans, lime, coriander, chilli.
