Chilling is an activity, men confirm

BRITAIN’S men are in agreement that chilling on the sofa, in the pub or in the shed is up there with hiking or windsurfing as an activity. 

While to observers they seem to be seated and staring into the middle distance with dead eyes, men insist that chilling is a strenuous pursuit and definitely not mental dormancy.

Tom Booker from Stanford said: “Yeah, I spent the whole weekend chilling. Can barely move my arms today because they’re sore from chilling so hard.

“I was up early for a brisk 45-minute chill in bed, then limbered up a marathon four-hour chill in front of the telly. I chilled so hard I don’t even know what was on.”

Fellow man Wayne Hayes said: “Chilling is complicated. It’s both activity and inactivity. Like Buddhist meditation, only more challenging.

“You have to wear specialised clothing like unwashed joggers and it requires equipment like a chair with your arse groove worn into it. And take frequent breaks, because it can be dangerous to overdo it.

“Women don’t understand chilling. They think it should involve going on picnics or meeting their friends, but as any man knows those factors risk torpedoing the vibe.”

Entire global economic system depended on America not electing mad king

THE whole of the planet’s health, wealth and happiness was solely dependent on a single country not being run by a berserk emperor, it has emerged. 

A system which claimed to be stable and robust was, it has transpired, as vulnerable to a f**king nutcase who believes he has the divine right to cause a global depression as all the others.

Political analyst Denys Finch Hatton said: “History has a way of sweeping all your big ideas of how far we’ve progressed right into the shitter, doesn’t it?

“For example, as recently as ten years ago we’d have thought we were past land wars in Europe, plagues and cringing at the whims of a demented freak who demands constant 24-7 flattery or he’ll condemn the peasantry to eating tree bark. And yet here we are.

“It seems the whole interlinked edifice of global trade and peace between nations, which seemed unassailable, was in fact as fragile as a glass hummingbird. The liberal political systems we were so proud of? Replaced by good old all-powerful dictatorship.

“We might as well get in on it. William seems mental enough to declare war on the US for daring to harbour his brother. Dissolve parliament, execute Charlie and go with the f**king flow.”

Steve Malley of Middlesbrough said: “I quite fancy the total collapse of the global economy and having to queue all day for a bread ration. But can it be Greggs?”
