    Shame the BBC didn’t get the credit for the penguin joke. Their film of the Adelie Penguins flying is superb.

    That film of the penguins was lovely; I almost wish it was real. Nearly got taken in by the Metro article where the new model BMW gave electric shocks to dogs peeing up its wheels. The white Guinness ad was a bit obvious.
