Five-million Farage has flounced out of parliament in order to pause the investigations into his alleged corruption, but other major parties are refusing to contest the resulting by-election, potentially leaving him facing Count Binface as his biggest rival. With the British public’s love of the underdog and refusing to do what’s expected - remember Boaty McBoatface? - I wouldn’t bet against it being Count Binface MP soon.

        I can’t wait for the return of ceefax. It’s where all my holidays came from when I was a kid.

          Same, but it was Teletext, not Ceefax. My dad got me and my sister tickets to Barbados for £400 return. So first they shipped us off, then when we came back, they shipped the older two off. But they got to extend theirs to four weeks and they got to boat over to Trinidad and Tobago. Still bitter about it.

          I got my message on Backchat once and that’s how I found out my friend in Year 12 also read it haha. She recognised me even with a pseudonym.
