Weekly Round Up | 22 Jul – 28 Jul

Olympics! That’s pretty much the highlight of this week even if the opening ceremony was as boring as the videogame or so everyone claims. Fun fact for all you soccer/football (whatever the hell you like to call it) fans: the Olympic opening ceremony cost £27 million while Liverpool’s Andy Carroll cost £35 million. Fuck logic. The best part was perhaps this but that’s possibly just because Rowan Atkinson is awesome. We also did our 12th podcast this week and on the next one, someone will die while we’re recording. There’s something for you to look forward to.
