Big Data has picked up a glitch in its Matrix. The powers watching through raining green computer screen characters, detecting every slight emotion change so as to nudge teens into purchasing diet pills and makeup, have noticed a behavioural shift in North America.



'Obviously I know all your passwords and Personal Identification Numbers,' whispered Big Data in a passive aggressive tone like Batman with a deep throat infection, 'but I don't care for this new fashion of you changing your bank PINs, cellphone passwords, and gimp dungeon entry codes to 8647.'



Orange-tongued overloads calling everyone else not man-uppy enough, uneasily pulled their twisted knickers made from human hide out of their sweaty cracks and burst into tears. 'This is unacceptable. Not enough people are drinking the Kool-Aid,' wailed three multi-billionaires in harmonious unity. 'It puts the lotion on its skin.



'POTUS 47 is the bigliest, bestest ever in the world ever, and no one will be 86-ing him.



'Again.'



Fanny Rogers, a suburban swinger from one of many Aberdeens said, '86? That's a new one on me. A fat slag bumming a goose?'



Professor Phillipa K Wang from the Institute of US Street Slang lowered her glasses seductively and oozed, '86 can mean several things. It depends on sexting context or whether you're arranging shells provocatively on a nudist beach.



'If you're a 1930s soda bar worker in a paper hat, it means you've sold out of Dr Peppers. If you're a 1990s waiter at the Mango Dragon, it's kitchen code for ejecting the drunkard trying to order rice wine. And if you're a moody henchman from Lansing, it means the boss wants you to swing by the dry cleaners on your way in and pick up the concrete jacket.



'Every which way but loose, we're gonna need some more FBI guys, I guess.'





There were celebrations across Russia last night upon the countries' victory in the third Russiavision Song Contest, their third victory running. 



The contest, sponsored by the Kremlin, prides itself as being much better than the 'biased' and 'hateful' Eurovision Song Contest and is open to anyone who wants to enter (provided of course that they're Russian and straight).



The winning song, 'All Hail President Putin' from Russia, stormed to first place with over 70% of the vote. This left 'We Love You Premier Putin' (also from Russia) and 'Putin is my God' (yep, Russia too) lagging far behind. In last place was the song 'Let's Hold Hands and All Be Friends' by Nikolai Vinogradov, who was apparently last seen being escorted out of the stadium and has since vanished.



A Kremlin spokesman said "we're so proud of our winners, they embody what Russia is all about... showing blind loyalty to our wise and virile President. We look forward to next year's contest, where anything could happen up until the point Russia wins again"



It is hoped by many that this will be the precursor to a successful 2025 Russialympics in the summer, with the entrants hoping to match their victory tally from winter games of 100% gold, 100% silver and 100% bronze.



The HS2 project is in a mess. The cost of the London to Birmingham link is now over £107bn, or 82 years worth of winter fuel payment savings.


The news that not a single piece of track had been ordered, let alone laid, has encouraged hovercraft fans to step forward.


Colin Keener, an enthusiastic advocate for British engineering, says that a hovercraft solution could cut costs and save the day.


'Hovercraft don't need any rails,' said Colin, stating the obvious. 'Getting to speeds of 220mph could be an issue, but jet engines would do the job. Steering could be a slight challenge, so the high speed hovercraft might need a guide wire. It is possible that carriages might sway a bit, but probably no worse than those pendolino trains.


He went on to say that the weight of hovercraft trains wouldn't be an issue as long as passenger numbers were restricted.


A spokesman for the Department for Transport acknowledged the proposal with a sigh. He pointed out that the £107bn cost of HS2 would be easily covered by the sale of 3.1 billion rail cards.
