People Just Do Nothing is coming back for a new series, everybody

Read more about it here, even though all the information you need on this is in the title. There is a funny video though

Millenials don’t like that very particular type of fun that comes with doing the thing we must now only refer to in hushed circles as “drinking”

Yeah, they’re not pinning enough of the stuff, you fresher, and so Tesco is making its wine bottles smaller. Just because of a few bore-pants Barries, the rest of us will have to make do with wine for babies.

ERM THOSE GLASSES AREN’T FILLED UP PROPERLY GUYS

The boss of Sainsbury’s loves a little sing-song, so he does

Not much to say about this, other than: in an interview in which you are to defend your actions - actions which may lead to the loss of hundreds of jobs - you should resolutely not start singing “We’re in the money” in front of a camera that is 100% filming you.

Watch the amazing, AMAZING, video here

There are a heck of a lot of good, non-blockbuster movies coming out this summer

Like, explosions are cool and kicking people is a right laugh, but sometimes it’s nice to watch a film that doesn’t have either an explosion or someone getting kicked every five minutes. Sometimes, it’s nice to just sit down and watch a really normal film about normal stuff.
