"Dried out 'prune' of a rocker"

In reference to Bruce Springsteen, Trump took to Truth Social to slam the rock star for speaking out against his administration. Moments before, he also lashed out at Taylor Swift (again), saying she's "no longer hot" - all while flying back home from the Middle East. You'd think Trump would have more important things on his mind than retaliatory social media posts.

Still working at 94yo

With no thought of retiring, John Shipton (nearly a centenarian) has been working at the Exeter Waitrose for the past 14 years. Considered a "local legend,” he loves interacting with customers and claims that as long as he can climb the stairs to the canteen, he'll continue to work. Talk about dedication to the job!

70k lollipops at your door

That's what one mother in Kentucky found on her doorstep. Her 8yo had managed to order $4,000 worth of candy from her phone - as prizes for a carnival he wanted to host for friends. While a "sweet" gesture, parents might consider changing their phone passcodes.

"Attenborough slug sex"

In celebration of David Attenborough's 99th birthday last week, The Guardian collected thoughts from 99 nature enthusiasts to share what he's brought into our lives. And Author Helen Jukes shared her love for a segment she often searches for on YouTube. We too think the video is surprisingly beautiful.

Buying back my stolen car

A man from Solihull had his car stolen, only to accidentally buy it back for £20k while trying to replace it with an exact make & model. His suspicions were confirmed when the GPS history included his and his parents’ addresses. Such a mixed bag of emotions!!!

A £5.9bn Cinema Ticket

The govt incentivised filming in the UK by giving studios £5.9bn since 2007. But don’t shout, “Cut!” just yet. In 2019, every £1 given to the studios has generated £8.30 of added benefit towards Britain’s economy.

Battle for Trouser Pockets

And it's a win for 8yo Georgia of Ipswich, who petitioned Sainsbury's Tu brand to include pockets in girls' school trousers. Boys' school trousers already had them. Ummm... it's 2025, right?

Down with penguins! 🤨

Another casualty from Liberation Day... Heard and McDonald Islands, which form an external territory of Australia, are inhabited only by penguins. They were specifically called out in Trump’s list and hit with a 10% tariff. (Didn't realise there was a market for penguin feces. 😅)

He forgot his passport?!?

A United Airlines pilot realised he forgot his passport 2 hours into a flight from LA to China - diverting to San Fran for another crew to finish the journey. Second time in two weeks for United. It begs the question... Why doesn't the crew get checked before an international flight?
