That pic did the rounds in Sweden some years ago.

Yeah, that picture has been known for a long time. You're 5 or 6 years late, Tim. :p

In other news, outsourcing gone mad?

Sydney man will pay you to watch Champions League games and engage in Facebook banter on his behalf

AN Australian bloke has put an ad on Gumtree offering to pay someone $150 to watch games of Champions League Football for him. For real. This guy wants to pay people to watch the soccer.

Why? Glad you asked.

"Dino" as he prefers to be known online, is a mad Arsenal fan. He's also a 27-year-old bloke with a job in the legal profession. Each day he starts work around 7 am. He's a super-busy, hard-working guy.

But Champions League matches tend to happen around 4:30 in the morning, and that's not convenient. So Dino wants someone to watch the games for him and pretty much assume his persona on social media.

Or as he puts it, "to post insightful commentary and engage in banter in a private Facebook group of football enthusiasts on my behalf".

How do you call, in English, the silly tourist souvenirs you can buy, like fridge magnets with the town on it and such, and where would I go to find locally relevant ones in the UK? Gift shops?

Lol, looks like everybody back home in Boratstan is getting some Big Ben keychains and "Keep Calm" fridge magnets.  The village will be so proud!

So how does the States look like outside of downtown Baltimore? Oh wait, I am asking the wrong person!

Then you would have tried to be funny.

No shit.  Btw I always wondered if there were more pics of his sis on the far left.

Not really, no, that would have been against the intention.

  I always figured those anti-bullying campaigns were a waste of time.

How we surprised that Bin Laden wasn't always anti-america?

The man himself had said it more than once that it was because the Saudi government accepted American military help.
