Is this news? It's hilarious whatever it is. Just seen it posted on Facebook so thought I'd put it up here as well. Ties quite well with that slow summer news thing and lazy journalism; go and find something serious to report on!

Yesterday I was lucky enough to win a competition with Esquire magazine from their twitter page. I had to suggest a caption for a video of a cow staring at another cow (talk about a blank canvass). I won't bore you with what I actually provided, but it turns out there was a prize for their favourite. While this prize was inevitably found in the stationary cupboard, I'm looking forward to receiving it as I never win competitions.
The success of the British Empire was almost solely attributed to diarrhea. Or the fact we were the only ones who didn't get it when invading.

Apparently it's also why we always beat the French. Grubby fuckers. Maybe it's also why we love curry.

I love QI and its meaningless facts.

Hard as nails. Awesome.

I've never been a fan of cheap suits, they're so blatent, and most of the time actually quite expensive (for what they are). You can easily go into a low end high street store and buy what they call a mans suit for £200. That's not money you'd want to chuck away, yet people do day after day. Why not go the extra mile, spend another £80-120 and get something decent; something that isn't a Wool/Polyester lovechild cut with a knife and fork.

This article took it to the extreme and reviewed the George at Asda £25 (yeah...Two-Five) suit. While not everyone has the clout to afford a tailor, there are excellent rack suits out there, so really there is little excuse. To totally contradict myself, I've been recommended a tailor by a friend and will be visiting him in the coming months when the costs of relocating to London have settled themselves. You don't have to spend outrageous cash to get something made in England, and I've seen their product first hand and it's top class.
