There's a littlewoods advert on Channel 4 that starts off like a school play about christmas where all the kids are asking who left presents under the tree, but instead of praising santa like any sensible child they break into rap and pin it on mum. Not only does that completely ruin christmas for everyone under 8 but it also makes Channel 4 impossible to watch. It's even on 4od.

I think you need a new dad.

Dad humour is defined by telling the same joke over and over again to the same person, sounds like his Dad is working just fine.

Yup. It's called the License Fee. You can be fined for having a TV and not paying the fee. It's a bit of a boondoggle these days with the iPlayer because now you can watch BBC content without having a telly, and someone tried to introduce a law that would add the license fee to everyone with internet, but thankfully that got shut down sharpish.

And before anyone flips out about Orwellian police states, the TV licensing organisation are hilariously inept and spend most of their time sending scary letters to student accommodation to scare students into buying a TV license and threatening to perform inspections. There's really no way for anyone to know if you don't have a TV license unless you get some kind of cable or satellite package.

Don't they also have vans with some sort of fake "illegal TV signal detecting equipment" they use to scare people into paying too?

Yes, and they're hilarious.

Don't blame Australia. Jack Daniel's actually started packaging and selling canned Jack and Cola in the United States a few years ago ago.



You get that in the UK too. I imagine that most countries where they mix jack and coke have premixed cans.
