Brits abroad to combat extreme heat with extreme drinking

BRITONS in Spain are to fight 45-degree heatwaves by drinking up to 45 pints a day.

The Cerebus heatwave in Europe is expected to hit British holidaymakers, with their pale flesh and refusal to make any accommodations for hot weather whatsoever except a bucket hat, especially hard.

Norman Steele said: “We didn’t come to Malaga to sit inside with the aircon on. And I’m not buggering about with that factor 50 neither. When I was a kid it only went up to 12.

“So we’ll be by the pool as per and showing the Spanish how to battle climate change the British way: with lager.

“It can’t be dehydrating, because it’s weak as piss, and if you keep at it then you won’t even feel the sunburn until the next morning when you scream when you leap in the pool.

“How do you think the Crusaders got through the heat of the Holy Lands in all their armour? They were properly beered up. You can see the cans dangling from their saddles in their tapestries.”

Sardinian holidaymaker Susan Traherne said: “Yes, but you see we’re middle-class and don’t drink lager. I suppose it’ll have to be eight bottles of wine a day.”

Gen Z couple break up after realising six-month age gap was problematic

A COUPLE have split after deciding that their six-month age difference created an unequal power balance in their relationship.

James Bates, 20, and his ex-partner Lucy Parry, 19, had been worrying about the large age gap for some time, as had their Generation Z friends and complete strangers on social media. 

They finally decided to separate when one Instagram user – who does not know either of them – commented: “Why is this mature man taking advantege of poor young girl???” 

Bates said: “EmLuvsCats was absolutely right. What could a 20-year-old possibly have in common with a 19-year-old who can also pay tax, drink alcohol and serve on a jury?

“Lucy is little more than a child, bowled over by the attention of an older, worldly man with a high-powered job as a trainee B&Q customer service advisor. It’s wrong to keep abusing my position of trust.”

Parry said: “We didn’t want to be like one of those problematic celebrity age-gap couples – Leonardo DiCaprio and whichever 20-year-old he’s with at the moment. What would have happened when James was 30 and old, and I was still a youthful 29?” 

Since the break-up Parry has started dating again, and after sifting through a vast number of potential partners has found one born on exactly the same day, 5th March 2004. 

She said: “I’m so sad all the time and I miss James terribly. But I’m going to have to keep dating Steve because he’s only four hours older than me, and everyone says that’s probably okay.”
