    Most important and interesting news story ever

    This is fantastic! A bloke buys a pair of boots that leak and gets a refund!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!! Why is it not in all the papers???

    PS That's weird. Now I was looking at The Guardian and there's a story abut a stolen bicycle. Maybe such stuff was always there but I never saw it. Have I accidentally clicked a trivia preferences button or something?

    I see your leaky boots, and raise you a bloke who got overcharged for a hire car, then got a refund.

        I'll see both of them and here's one I have no clue what its about:

        Suara Karya Online
        “Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”

          You mean you can't read Indonesian?

          Back when Babel Fish was the only (really crap) translator there was a game where you translated something from English to summit else and then back and the results were slightly amusing. Now Bing Translate has taken all the fun out of it. You get your original text.

            Sadly no although I will admit it has never been high on my list of languages to learn

            Can't you do that translation thingy with Google Translate, i.e.

            (French)
            Un clown dit à son médecin :
            - Docteur, je me sens drôle ...

            (English)
            A clown tells his doctor:
            - Doctor, I feel funny ...

            (Italian)
            Un clown dice al suo medico:
            - Dottore, mi sento strano ...

            (Czech)
            Klaun vypráví lékaře:
            - Pane doktore, mám pocit, legrační ...

            (Latin)
            Fossor dicit medicus:
            - Doctorem sentire ridiculam ...

            (Welsh???)
            Fossor Dicit medicus:
            - Doctorem feel ridiculam ...

            (French???)
            Foss dicit Medicus:
            - Docteur sentir ridicule ...

              To be fair, it's 'celeb buys petrol'.
