Monday smile – Biscuitville
Last weekend, biscuits worth around EUR 100,000 were sneaked out of a warehouse in Flers-en-Escrebieux in the north of France.

Monday smile – Academia Obscura
Last week saw the publication of a book that is guaranteed to bring mirth and merriment. Not to mention make a very good Christmas present.
This is what the crowdfunding publisher, Unbound, says about it: “Academia Obscura is an irreverent glimpse inside the ivory tower, exposing the eccentric and slightly unhinged world of university life. Take a trip through the spectrum of academic oddities and unearth the Easter eggs buried in peer reviewed papers, the weird and wonderful world of scholarly social media, and rats in underpants.”
Monday smile – Tobleronegate Part 2
Almost exactly one year ago I posted about the effects of Brexit on the iconic Toblerone chocolate bar, and now the product is the subject of yet more controversy.
Earlier this year, the UK retailer Poundland decided to launch a bar called “Twin Peaks” (yes, really).
