One word: Commission.Oh, it gets better. Now the front page of the Ministry of Truth has an article about the outfits contestants wore.
Those articles will contain links to the outfits or similar versions, which generate commission for the outlets when clicked.

The BBC, to whom @DiogoJ42 is referring, does not and legally cannot include affiliate links in their content.

Plenty of other sites are, though. I’ve seen in the news that Jade’s cardigans are generating a lot of hype online, and many news outlets have somehow deduced what style of cardigan they are and linked to them!
Some people are either more interested in clothes than me, more perceptive than me, have more time on their hands than me or a combination of all three…

Well I had no idea which outlet he was referring to. I was just speaking in general.
Edit: Thank you for backing me up @Matt N

You've never heard the Beeb referred to like that before? Pretty common in my circles. There's a reason they put a statue of George Orwell outside Broadcasting House.Well I had no idea which outlet he was referring to. I was just speaking in general.

Nope, that was news to me (pun not intended).

(Laugh reaction for the pun, not lack of having heard of it).
For the record, most of the people I know who use that term are ex-BBC staff.
Bitter at being cast aside? Or eyes opened after we escaped a cult? I'll leave that call up to you.

I’ve not slept terribly well for the past couple of nights, so I decided to take a sleeping pill last night. Seemed to work a treat…until I got woken up about 20 minutes ago by some REALLY loud engine noise outside (think it was sat idling for a while), and now there’s no real point in me going back to sleep. I know I live on a fairly busy road, but even so, that engine noise was taking the proverbial.

There are some people that like to ride noisy underpowered mopeds around our village in the middle of the night, for no reason it seems except to annoy people. They can GTF.
Although I'm quite often awake anyway due to my stupid overactive brain.

It might be a placebo effect rather than actually doing anything, but I do think a Magnesium glycinate supplement is helping me sleep deeper and not wake up as easily.
Although two nights ago our smoke detector went off at 4.30am waking me up, couldn't find a fire but think it might have been the dishwasher being hot. I could not get back to sleep for the two hours or so before the alarm!

Oh dear...
Lovely trip to Blackpool on Sunday, but I completely forgot the occasional speed camera van on the bridge over the M55.
And I'm up to six points now!
Don't even have a course option...
That'll slow me down for a while then, won't it.
Progress you see, never used to have sneaky mobile cameras on motorways.
Don't be an idiot racing to the Beach you lovely people.
The volvo is running well.

I am the king of insomnia. Whenever I have tried snoozers, all they do is give me indigestion that keeps me up even more.

I just use the Nytol stuff. Usually works fine. Had to use sleeping tablets a lot when I was working at the airport just to try and get a few hours of sleep. Not something I ever want to repeat.
