Now this is just plain bizarre. For some reason over in Siberia, a Russian man had to be rescued by emergency workers from a rubbish chute, after well, trying to hide from his girlfriend. Read More >
Why save and not shave for just November? Keep it going all year round, or even for the rest of your life, just like the Guinness World Record holder of the world's longest moustache, Ram Singh Chauhan. He gave the BBC some great tips on how to grow a massive moustache that you can do all-sorts of things with, and seems super content without the hassle of having to shave. Read More >
The BBC seems to be pulling out all the stops when it comes to delivering Olympic content this year, with coverage not just limited to the television.

What happens when you throw Prince Charles in front of a camera and ask him to do the weather? Probably the best forecast Scotland's ever seen, and I for one am insanely jealous. Why can't the Prince be my regular weatherman? I'd tune into the news just to see him, even if all he's got for me is more bucketing rain. Read More >

It's an ultimate-fantasy scenario for sure. Eighty-six year-old Brendon Grimshaw is the owner—and sole human inhabitant—of the island of Moyenne in the Indian Ocean. His only companions are 120 giant tortoises. Sounds like quite a lifestyle. Read More >
A man from the television has just managed to fly, by pedaling a small plane about five feet off the ground. Not bad going, given how stupidly small the wheels were and the fact he was pedaling into the wind to aid stability. Read More >
Analogue TV wasn’t the only casualty of the digital switch-over and with London’s switch-off last night, another old friend bit the dust too – Ceefax. The BBC’s teletext service, which was born way back in 1974, brought text news and stories to the decidedly non-digital world, miles before the internet we know and love today was opened-up to the public. Ceefax was your Grandad’s internet. Read More >

It’s about time we got a taste of what Netflix has been cooking-up on its own in the US. The Americans have been enjoying all that fancy new original Netflix content including Lilyhammer for months now, while the UK has been stuck out in the cold. Now we’ll get to see what all the fuss (or lack there of) is about, but only after it’s been broadcast on BBC. What the hell? Read More >

That’s right, all that fancy “driver tracking” and live streaming of on-board cameras from each car plus the pit lane, isn’t exclusive to Sky. The satellite broadcaster might have an awesome iPad app to do it, but the good ol’BBC is pumping it down its brand new “connected TV” red button service, and some of you lucky sods will be able to get it for this weekend’s race in China.

Virgin Media's latest TV advert, which stars former Doctor Who actor David Tennant, has angered the BBC, which considers Virgin's use of the time travelling theme to be a little too close to cashing in on the long-running sci-fi adventure series. Read More >
