Well, to be exact - fired for wanking in the toilet so loudly that it annoyed other people using the facilities!

Guy the other day was shitting very loudly and left a stink. Can he be fired for that? Asking for a friend.

I'm guessing that shitting is an activity that is arguably necessary for employees to conduct at work premises* from time to time, while wanking is not, so the two would not be treated the same for firing purposes even if both result in annoying toilet noises ... 

*Edit: no doubt the shitting could be done in such a manner as to attract firing, e.g. on the desk of the boss.

Saw a funny video the other day. Some climate change denier stating it was OK if sea levels rose as people could just sell their houses and move

[Eddie Teach]

Why does he think sea levels are rising?

[Tonitrus]

Sea levels rising would be a great socialist boon...the rich beach dwellers have to move, and those who had fell just short of affording waterfront property will be enriched.

Former Nigerian dictator's £210m seized from Jersey account

More than $267m (£210m) belonging to a former Nigerian dictator has been seized from a Jersey bank account.

The money was "derived through corruption" during the presidency of Sani Abacha in the 1990s, according to Jersey's Civil Asset Recovery Fund.

A shell company called Doraville held the funds, which were frozen in 2014.

After a five-year legal wrangle, the money has now been recovered and will be split between Jersey, the United States and Nigeria.
