The new wikipedia layout that can only be changed to the old style with a wikipedia account.

Wikipedia’s redesign is barely noticeable. That’s the point. (slate.com)

Quote

“We’re going to be able to hear screams from space,” joked a Wikimedian who goes by the username Enterprisey, who has spent months contributing to the redesign. Pharos, a longtime contributor, mentioned that Swahili Wikipedia had unanimously voted to reject the new skin and curtly demanded a return to the old skin. “I had never seen Swahili Wikipedia so outspoken about something. Pretty exciting,” he said.

Up the Swahilis.

Orthodox Christians will be taking theirs down about now.

I've thought it would be good to celebrate the Orthodox Christmas instead of the Western one because you can get your presents cheap in the January sales

This is why the Ethiopians didn't know it was Christmas Time. Because it wasn't.

That's 15 characters. 

It would be 12 characters in the days when they only allowed one substitute.

My old man and his pal Jack were on a fishing trip in the Highlands and they were enjoying a pint in a pub

An American tourist started talking to them and she came out with "Do you know Jesus"?

Jack replied "Naw, but I kent his faither"

My old man said the barman just about pissed himself laughing

A neighbour has recently started working as a private hire taxi driver. His taxi is parked in the shared car park and he's currently washing the wheels on a night when the temperatures are again to fall to -2/-3. What does he think is going to happen to the water left on the roadway? 

 

Same neighbour has 3 other cars - all his - parked in the car park. He's the only driver in his household

People you  meet in the course of a day - whom you may well never see again - who finish the conversation with, "See you later" deserve a kick in the pie.

Supermarket checkout staff are bad for this.

I like it when they ask "Are you working today?" or "Is it your day off?"

It's 3pm on a Wednesday and all I am buying is beer and doritos. No, friend, I am skiving.

FTFY.

Supermarket staff are providing the obligatory throwaway greeting to get through another utterly turgid shift. Gammons who expect some curated and witty individual exchange with them need to take a look at themselves.
