25th February 2020
Ready for some Tuesday trends? Let's news-a-go-go*!
*I didn't like that either. Won't be doing that again.
๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ - Not sure why this is trending, but here are the headlines; "Coronavirus: How the virus has impacted sporting events around the world", "Commonwealth Games 2022: Shooting and archery events to be held in India", and "UK left activists attended events with far right antisemites". So germs, guns and gits.
๐๐จ๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ - An Italian doctor who was visiting a hotel in Tenerife has tested positive for the virus, and now the entire hotel is in lockdown, with 1,000 guests in quarantine. Austria and Croatia have also reported their first cases.
๐๐๐ง๐ญ - Starts tomorrow, ends on the 9th April, if you're into that sort of thing.
๐๐จ ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ก - A documentary aired on Monday about Mo Farah's relationship with Alberto Salazar, his former coach who was banned following a doping scandal. From a quick read (I haven't seen the doc) it looks as though Mo was given an injection of something not illegal, but not ethically on point, before the 2014 London Marathon and Salazar was a key player in obtaining the drug.
๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ง ๐๐ก๐ข๐๐ค๐๐ง - KFC are launching an 80 piece bucket of popcorn chicken for ยฃ5.99. I am guessing there will be a lot more corn and pop than quality chicken in that bucket. In an aside, Trump would like to see packaging regulations removed if we come to any trade agreements with the US, so we can probably expect this "chicken" to have a decent chlorine level soon. I expect deep frying eradicates the flavour of that though.
๐๐๐๐ง ๐๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ฒ - Trending thanks to Celebs Go Dating, Gaffney made a crack about a girl being "a corrie fan" after she turned him down for a date. I didn't know he was still in Stenders, but apparently he has been quietly removed from the show after sending lewd images to a young woman, and asking for reciprocal pics. So he's trending twice today for being, in summary, a funny perv.
๐๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฉ๐จ๐จ๐ฅ ๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐๐ฆ - Liverpool put three kicky balls into the catchy square. West Ham managed two. For those of you new to the game of Kicky Ball, this means that Liverpool won.
๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ค๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐ฉ๐ - Pancake day is today! I had no idea. BBC Good Food has a 4.3 out of 5 stars review for Easy Pancakes if you decide that's what you want for dinner. I have overdosed on Nougat today, so it'll be salad for me thanks.
๐๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง - Big producer guy is found guilty of rape. He thought he would get away with it, and he did not.
๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ก ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ - ITV launched a new murder mystery that is getting all the good reviews.
๐๐จ๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐ฒ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฌ - For those of us who thought you could avoid it by not eating bat soup, here is the run down: It's a lot like pneumonia. It can cause coughs, fever and breathing difficulties, and in severe cases organ failure. If you've travelled to China or neighbouring countries and you have a cough, you should probably stay indoors and call 111. Some people in hazmat suits will be along to check you over shortly**.
**I made that up. Total guess.
Welcome to 11 trends - you got an extra one because I posted late and I love you.
