#STORMAILEEN
Following the Americas being hit by hurricanes, the UK was hit by Storm Aileen and the public treated it with the usual dry British humour. @Justtcaity shared: “Aileen just turned my power off halfway through boiling the kettle. How much more passive aggressive can a British storm be” @James_conwyn_mp observed: “With Irma and Harvey in the States, it was only a matter of time before the cheap, knock-off British version was released.” @louise_firchau said: “Small groups of tired British are gathering on Twitter to ‘see if anyone else has noticed the kerfuffle’ @invisibleman_17 joked: “#Breakingnews : A wheely bin has been blown over as #Stormaileen unleashes its hell on Hotwells.” @Hesamsaid tweeted: “#Stormaileen blew our side gate open and I had to go and close it again. Interrupted #GBBO. #britishproblems”
#ANTHONYRALSTON
During Celtic’s 5-0 defeat at home to Paris Saint-germain in the Champions League, Anthony Ralston, 18, hit the headlines for his clash with the world’s most expensive player Neymar, who refused to shake hands and swap shirts with the teen. @Rorysmith said: “I think (not certain) Neymar may have refused to swap shirts with Anthony Ralston, as well as not shake his hand. Which is a bit of a shame.” @IIIRFIII tweeted: “He’s only 18, up against the world’s most expensive player & Neymar never shook his hand.” @Y2craig offered: “I bet Neymar was gutted.” @Callumcarson34 noted: “This time last year Anthony Ralston was in a Celtic Colts defence that conceded five in the first half to Livingston in the Irn-bru Cup.”
#SEXROBOT
A sex robot appeared on This Morning, to the bemusement of viewers. @emvarney tweeted: “Marginally traumatised by Samantha the sex robot” @Spooky23 posted: “Samantha the sex robot on This Morning. I’m sat here laughing out loud. It has a family mode where she talks about animals and philosophy.” @Thisjaythomas worried: “Why would anybody want a sex robot with functioning AI? Has nobody seen Humans or the Terminator films? It wouldn’t end well.” @Hayleyshelp said: “Samantha looks like she would rather be anywhere else in the world right now”
