This is why we set up Angry People in Local Newspapers. If we can’t find a place on the internet to store photos of people angrily holding their noses, then we are lost as a civilisation. Essex Echo: Toxic algae in lake causing ‘rotting bins’ smell The only mystery remains is what she’s doing with her…

This one is truly glorious, and chronicles one man’s ham-fisted attempt to cash in on a bike theft, and one woman’s l33t crime-fighting skills when the police couldn’t even pretend to be interested. But – you know – if you try to sell your ill-gotten gains through online tat market Facebook Marketplace immediately after stealing…

We’re not entirely sure why there are concrete blocks stacked on top of each other is this particular town in Tasmania, but they’ve got some sort of weathered, brutalist beauty that I quite admire. Councillor Ted Dorsey thinks otherwise, and is out and about with his crowbar trying to get them moved. Nice try Ted.…

It seems I’m just about the only person in the world who hasn’t got a tattoo, but they’re still seen as a bit out-of-order when you’re looking for a job. This is especially the case where the tattoo is visible, and many employers won’t touch you with a six-foot pole. So, yeah, the word DEVAST8…

To be bitten on your arse by a snake down your loo is unlucky. Twice could be considered careless. Or really, really unlucky. We dunno how popular toilet snakes are in Bangkok – everybody might have one. But at least it’s a non-venomous variety – if this story was from Australia she’d probably be dead…

Wanna feel old? This is what Bros look like today. And Matt, Luke and Ken don’t want the bypass that The Man want to build around the town in Australia where they rule as kings. However, if you’re some sort of youngling and your cultural references don’t include Bros, try this one: The new Top…

It’s mysteries like this which have flummoxed the greatest detectives of our age, from Jack the Ripper to Sherlock Holmes’s great unsolved Puzzle of the Corn-laden Turd.…

To be honest, it’s how we’d all like to go. Trapped in the fire escape after mistaking the door for the gym, determined not to wet your tracksuit bottoms.

School proms are the fifth circle of Hell and should never be allowed to exist. Having said that, this is the time of year you get angry kids (and their angry parents) in their local newspapers because they have found themselves crushed by the school prom machine.
