Epic fail

Jesus! At least you'll look pretty tough in family Christmas photos. Hope it heals up soon!

Happy ending! But I guess that'll happen more now. Ppl 20 or 30 years ago didn't know that dna tests would be so readily available and cheap.

Dad?

Yes my son. I am your father.

My mum says hi.

I'd ask for my stockings back but it's been a while... So many followup wanks

Glad to hear it's been a white Xmas for someone.

If you ask her she might share

Twitter person vehemently defends Giles Coren.

Turns out to be Giles Coren:

Dear gods, what a cock he is. His father was one of the funniest people alive (back when he was alive) and a gent. His sister is cool. But Giles Coren is an oxygen thief.

His father was one of the funniest people alive (back when he was alive)

Thanks for the clarification.

I don't get it.

The 5p charge reduced single-use bag usage from 7.6bn to ~1bn. The "bags for life" use around twice as much plastic, and sold 1.18bn last year. So total plastic going into landfill must have reduced by roughly 50%

What am I missing?

What am I missing?

That the aim is reduce by 100%, not 50

I wasn't a particular fan of Coren - prior to his notional 'outing' as a racist/fantasist/even bigger wanker -but this doesn't look conclusive to me.

Surely anyone could have used that name and lifted his bio from elsewhere, or is there more to this that I am missing?

The email address for the "Polish" person who shares a name with a character in Coren's novel is "GilesCoren@times.co.uk".

As far as I can tell, that's not 100% true.

It could be gibletgimp2@titwankz.co.nz.

But it probably is him.

That's true, and the pile-on is getting a bit silly:

Never a bad time to remind people that Giles Coren deems it perfectly
acceptable to leave a restaurant table in this state after a family
lunch. And then decide against leaving a larger-than-normal tip.

Untidy tables = worse than 4 Mugabes and 2 Hitlers.

Yeah but he's also an utter cuntwit for a myriad other reasons as well which is useful.

sighting of drones at gatwick might have been police drones spotting other police drones which were looking for drones after a member of the public reported seeing drones

Droneception.
