I’m not a mathematician but surely the 2000 people who cross the channel every day on the Spirit of France are more record breaking than this?
If you’ve ever doubted the quality of celebrity podcast interviewers, watch Amy Poehler delivering a masterclass in how to sound like you’re complimenting a movie without actually complimenting it.
I’m gonna call my parents and ask them if this is real or not, just so they learn how it feels…
The greatest sporting show on earth, happening inside a half-empty car park. I hope we never let America near football ever again.
When it’s 31° outside and McDonald’s say the milkshake machine is out of order.
Possibly we are half-mad with parental leave cabin fever, but all of us (including baby) were creasing at this.

So much of modern "news" is just asking random famous people for their random opinions on random issues.
I spend so much time defending the BBC, arguing against cuts and refuting criticism, and then they publish shit like this
There are a lot of fair critiques of Cristiano Ronaldo, but this would seem a harsh reason to drop him

Delighted to discover that, no matter what the sport, 'Spurs' is a byword for idiocy.
