Taken by Baywatch

It's a rare moment of age-appropriate Hollywood romance that no one saw coming. Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are now officially dating. Apparently, they hit it off during the filming of "The Naked Gun." They're really quite cute. So let's hope it's not just a summer romance!

£1.05m of OnlyFines

UK's online watchdog, Ofcom, has fined OnlyFans after they failed to respond with accurate information about their age assurance processes. While the problems have been fixed, the failure to keep the regulator up to date means retrospective fines!

Snoozing through Wimbledon

During a first set tiebreak in the quarterfinal between Djokovic and Cobolli, fans caught Hugh Grant taking a little snooze... in the Royal Box behind Camilla, no less. Most people found it rather comical, but a few found it rude. We lean on the laughable side... 🤪 Oh, and congrats to this year’s Wimbledon champions, Jannik Sinner and Iga Świątek! 🎾

When it's hot, just "sploot"

What is splooting? According to the U.S. National Park Service, it's "when an animal sprawls out [during high temperatures], usually face down with all arms and legs sticking out." It helps them cool down. Perhaps something we should try today! 🥵

What’s the fanciest punctuation?

That’s the joke a Y5 class at Leyton primary school told to win Britain’s Funniest Class. So what is the fanciest punctuation? An a-posh-trophe. 🤣 (Alister certainly approves.)

A brand new Tickle Lab

A brand new Tickle Lab

One neuroscientist believes that tickling is an 'under-researched' subject and has created a tickle lab at a Dutch university to learn more. Research participants place their feet through two holes for a mechanical stick to tickle their feet. We'd happily volunteer for that study... 🤣

“Even if you’re a girl”

B&Q was forced to apologise after a storage unit on their website had this promising description: "Easy to assemble the cabinet even if you’re a girl.” The product was offered by a 3rd-party seller, which has unsurprisingly now been removed.

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.
