A Car, a Spaceship and a Cybertruck

Sticking with our canine mates, Max, a black labrador from Florida, made headlines this week when he “accidentally” put a car into reverse and started doing doughnuts in a cul-de-sac. 

Yep, you read that right. 

Max’s owner had briefly stepped out of the car, after making a wrong turn, when he knocked the vehicle into reverse and started going round in circles. For over an hour. 

Police eventually managed to open the passenger door and, aside from a few flattened dustbins and knocked over letterboxes, no one was harmed. 

Next week’s lesson, parallel barking. 

Sorry.

Celebrities have been taking to social media this week to share the importance of registering to vote, in preparation for December’s general election. 

Celebrity vote-encouraging came via the Mother of Dragons Emilia Clarke, Harry Potter hero Matthew Lewis and most importantly, the un-elected voice of youth of today, Stormzy. 

The rapper called on his followers to have their say in the election, and what followed was more than 150,000 people aged under 25 signing up the day before the deadline. 

Can’t imagine what made Gove cross about that. He’s just so beloved by the under 25s.

The BBC thrilled fans nationwide this week, when a teaser for this year’s Gavin & Stacey Christmas Special was released. 

The clip, which was hidden at the end of the series three finale on BBC iPlayer, showed Uncle Bryn having a bit of a meltdown in the kitchen in what we think is a first glimpse of Christmas on Barry Island.

We can’t wait to see more but, where’s the salad?

Elon Musk provoked a case of the cringe at the unveiling of Tesla’s new Cybertruck last week, when the vehicle’s ‘indestructible’ windows were smashed during a demonstration of their strength.

The incident prompted Lego Australia to pile in, showcasing their own look-alike, “shatterproof” truck on Twitter.

If anyone has Musk for secret santa this year, you know what to do.

Who knew that the only thing everyone needed this Christmas was an ET and Elliott reunion?

Sky, that’s who. 

Just when we thought we’d seen the best of the best for this year’s Christmas ads, Sky went and upped the game. The nostalgic ad shows ET hopping back into his spaceship after 37 years, and traveling back to catch up with his earthling pal one last time. 

It had Speilberg’s approval. And it definitely has ours. 

Have a great weekend folks!
