Amusingly there's also plenty of examples of Russia and then the Soviet Union as the octopus, and in nazi propaganda the Jews ran the Soviet Union and US/UK capitalism, so the octopus is a land of contrasts.
Also Nazis drew a lot of propaganda showing Jews as mushrooms, but we've yet to see that being brought out against random stuffed toys.

Apparently the maitre d from First Dates called Nige a racist piece of poo poo to his face, so that was nice to read about.

He had a very mild debate with him about the reason Nigel wanted Brexit and the damage he believed it had caused. All the other 10 camp mates found it “boring” as they “don’t do politics”

The octopus toy Greta Thunberg's friend used in the image that made people go apeshit was a reversible one with happy and sad faces. It's popular among nonverbal autistic people who want to express emotion.

What do you think happened to those 4 missing teenagers in Wales.

It's an odd one, North Wales is remote by UK standards but even there it's pretty much impossible to ever be more than a mile from a road and it's pretty open countryside too, it's not dense forest.

Go placidly amid the noise and haste...
Maybe gone exploring a quarry/mine in the area and got into real trouble.

Edit: Croesor Slate Mine is in the area and exactly easy enough to access for urbex inspired teens, and complicated enough inside to get yourself into trouble if you choose the wrong route down / your torch goes out.

It's more that there's so many police involved and so much media attention, feels like they suspect something more has happened. I can't believe they'd be looking so hard if they just thought the kids were sleeping off a hangover somewhere.

Yep, being underground sounds most likely. For all four to not be able to reach help is worrying though.

Wales is a very popular caving destination, so that's my guess too.

Unless they are in the car and they just don't want to announce it until they have spoken to all the family.

Some good news!

quote:

LadBaby pull out of Christmas number one single race

LadBaby have said they will not be releasing a Christmas song following a five year-streak topping the festive chart.

The internet stars have treated us, or some may say subjected us, to pastry-filled charity singles like I Love Sausage Rolls and Don't Stop Me Eatin'.

"We wanted to pass the baton over," Mark and Roxanne Hoyle said, announcing the news on Instagram.

"The public backing a sausage roll - only in Great Britain."

Obviously not as good as the news that these two and their kids are being fired directly into the sun, but you have to take the small wins.

There is a police news conference thing in 10 minutes apparently. Not taking any questions. Dunno what, if any, significance that has.

TikTok prankster Mizzy has been sentenced to 18 weeks' detention in a young offender institution.

Real name, Bacari-Bronze O'Garro, 19, was found guilty of two counts of breaching a criminal behaviour order.

The court order banned him from sharing videos of people without their approval.

He was found to have "deliberately flouted" the order "within hours" of it being passed in May.

I had a look earlier and the area they found the car in is pretty perilous, small roads with low walls you could easily roll a car over. And they've found four bodies so... yeah inexperienced driver in bad conditions in a remote area.
