First 'brat', now 'fly tip' summer forecasted for 2026

After the success of Brat summer, a trend to bring a new pop culture trend to every summer has begun - this sees 'Fly-tip summer' set to become the next big thing. Expect black bags, abused supermarket trollies and tyres (just to name a few items), to be dumped at your nearest quiet spot.

This cultural change is going into the next stages of a Brat summer, projecting a, this country is f*****, approach to life. And rejecting the curated, civilised organised lifestyle where members of the public look too dispose of their own rubbish through the correct methods.

The vibe is, if I make it someone else's problem, then, great!

The trend is deeply tied to lazy b*******!

It went viral to tip on farmers' land, lay byes and secluded country lanes up and down the country.

With thousands of the public deciding to kick off the fly-tip summer a bit earlier this year, we’re sure numbers will grow the more temperature rises.

Trump slams Shakespeare as 'meaningless word salad and garbage'

In a series of late night posts on the ironically named, Truth Social, President Trump, has turned his phenomenal brain power to William Shakespeare, branding The Bard of Avon as, 'A low IQ guy who wrote meaningless word salad and garbage.'

Commenting on Much Ado About Nothing, Trump wrote, 'Huh, he nailed it with the title.' In another petulant post he asks, 'Who the hell was this Henry guy? Seven plays about him when clearly one would’ve been plenty. He must have been the biggest narcissist in history.' His take on All’s Well That Ends Well was, “I thought that bunch of crap was never gonna end at all.”

However, unsurprisingly the great and the good of British acting have been flocking to Twitter all day to defend the accusations levelled at, as some argue, the world's greatest writer ever.

Paraphrasing Shakespeare, Sir Kenneth Branagh posted online: 'The mind boggles at depth of this man’s total ignorance – what’s more, me think he doth protest too much.' While Dame Judy Dench told reporters, 'I have only one word for Trump. It rhymes with banker.' 

However, whether you love the Bard or hate him - perhaps the last word should go to Shakey himself.

'Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.'

Calculating bin day to be a post graduate qualification

With councils across the country making cuts to refuse collections across the board, it's making working out when the black bin is due to be put out difficult to anyone without a working knowledge of combinatorial mathematics.  Probability theory and Riemann diagrams help, especially when factoring in the green waste, which is on a different periodicity to the black bin, and glass, which alternates with paper, which occurs every other plastics collection.

Universities are running post graduate courses to their maths degrees, with the PGBB (Post Graduate studies in Black Bins) being the most popular, with the ABGVR (Advanced Black Green and Various Recycling) course in Council Refuse studies being a popular undergraduate option.

'Really, anyone who can work out what stuff to put in which bins correctly, to identify the various acceptable recyclable plastics and reject or set aside the specialist recycling should be able to ace either of these courses,' said Professor Jenkins of the Maths and Recycling department of York University.  'Plus, most councils now issue a four dimensional table clearly showing when to put the bins out anyway,' he added.
