Please don't eat the bottles.

Do you remember that French guy who would eat anything including glass and metals? They used to feature him on Eurotrash back in the late 80s.

Wasn’t he called Monsieur Mangetout or something like that? I’m sure I saw clips of him eating a light aircraft amongst other things. He’d have been huge on TikTok.

Weird glass bottle fact. Water is often sampled in plastic bottles for testing as it can absorb impurities from glass bottles.

Yeah, something like that.
Man, he would be a millionaire if TikTok was around back then.

I remember that! There was an episode where he ate a car, or something?

I always thought it was some kind of weird joke, or elaborate magic act.

My irk. Companies sending surveys asking how the experience of making a payment to them was.

Petty, but this is the little irks thread...

If the news shares more pictures of that women who murdered a bunch of babies, can they use pictures like they normally do for people who are men or unattractive, i.e. find smeary frames of videos, awful mugshots and so on that make them look a bit deranged? Instead of posting all these pictures of a smiling, attractive, unassuming young woman?

The Beeb's main photo on the homepage is her decidedly unflattering mugshot.

It looks like Evergrande in China has filed for bankruptcy in New York today.

This is going to send shockwaves through the world economy as they have been allowed to rack up debt on a ginormous scale.

Not looking forward to the fallout this will cause.

I remember him on a show called Just Amazing back in the 80s. Ate a shopping trolley or something. What a total crock …

The likelihood that some company going bust will affect us all

Noisy eaters of stinky food on the train.

IKR. It’s not like we all benefit when they do the opposite. Unless of course the benefit is that we aren’t made to suffer.

[Anpanman]

It looks like Evergrande

Thought that was a pop star.

It’s my day off and I’m about to go spend it looking at tiles as we’re having the bathroom redone. This means I’m not having my usual Monday of loafing around playing videogames. Irk barely even scratches the surface.
