  HebTroCo - British Made To Last

  Proper Trousers, Boots and Belts made here out
  of proper stuff, Guaranteed for life. 

  Ed and brant went to the pub and even though
  they had no previous experience, they somehow
  decided to start a trouser company. They
  launched on Kickstarter and sold 176 pairs of
  trousers in five hours. That was about a year
  and a bit ago, and they've now got British made
  boots and belts and lots of different trousers
  too.

  BTW: These guys are old B3tans who've been
  reading the site for years. Have a look at their
  trousers. Go on.

: THERESA MAY BOT 2.0

  So Theresa is hiding from the media and the
  public because she's frankly not very good at
  public engagement and also needs to spend her
  time thinking about Brexit.

  So we thought we'd make a bot to speak FOR her.
  Any media outlets who need an interview then
  just get on Twitter and chat to her. Job done.

  to alleviate your pain - it's a fun podcast
  where two teams pitch ideas for fixing bad
  sequels to good movies."

TOP TIP: IF YOUR LITTLE BROTHER IS DOING HIS 'OH
SO IMPORTANT' GCSE COURSEWORK... - Access the
autocorrect function in Word, and replace
"Analysis" with "Anal Sex". 9 times out of 10 they
won't notice until they've handed it in. (Furness)
