Was going to post this in the Britain thread, but the phrase "You drink like you are from Moldova" cracks me up every time....
So, our government in the UK issued new advice on drinking, in short, we should do it less. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35255384
On the BBC website there's a fun calculator for you to enter how much you've had to drink over the past week.... which then throws up some interesting stats: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-30500372
For Me (it's been a tough week!):
If you drank like this every week, in a year you would consume:
468
pints
208
glasses of wine
1,560
shots
Based on these proportions and quantities:
You drink like you're from Moldova, which is the second heaviest-drinking country in the world.
The average resident of the United Kingdom drinks a total of about 11.6 litres of pure alcohol a year, making it the joint 24th heaviest-drinking country.
You are on course to drink about 33.3 litres of pure alcohol over the year, which is 102% more than the average for men in the United Kingdom, and 382% more than the average for women.
New years resolution.... Drink like a Belarusian!

Biology really isn't my specialty, but one-handed colonisation doesn't work.

The funniest part is that everyone seems to have their panties in a bunch over nothing.
I quite agree, the description of someone "shaking their fist" is very Daily Mirror in what they'd like you to believe... just looks like a load of drunk yobbos on a plane to me. Welcome to RyanAir

I remember doing an epidemiology tutorial in one of my classes at uni where we had to look up a bunch of stuff on the World Health Organisation website, except that they had been hacked and replaced by a porn site. Quite amusing when you have a class full of computers all sitting on a porn site. (Un)fortunately, we could still do our work by going to who.int/<page> and navigate from there.

This is absolutely crazy. How would you describe someone who decided to flee the scene of a crime? By their clothing only? It reminds me of when the Police here phased out IC codes because it was said that categorising in that was offensive etc etc. I am pretty sure officers still use IC codes and ignore the whole 'political correctness' because it is a working system

The story itself isn't funny, but the headline could have been better: Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull calls for 'right boots on the ground' in Iraq and Syria. So now my head is full of images of soldiers hopping along the battlefield.

"Left boots on the ground" makes me think of soldiers sprinting barefoot back into helicopters.

While it's the cold truth, there's no need for the Mirror make a big flap out of something really minor.
(What exactly is The Mirror reflecting, and why hasn't it been smashed by now?)
