With so many people in quarantine, the remote meeting app Zoom has become very popular, and its stock value has skyrocketed.
One feature it boasts is the facility for adding a creative background to your screen, allowing you to hide the mess or simply show off your style in a digital way. Like this:

A Redditor named rzotten posted these screenshots of a very strange conversation between a choosing beggar – someone who complains about something they’re getting for free – and an artist.
The choosing beggar was horrible right from the word ‘Go’.
Threatening someone with the police so they’ll draw you a picture has long been the internationally accepted sign of a reasonable person.
He had instructions about the style.
He was pretty short on manners – and patience.
Finally, the artist lost patience too, and drew him a picture.
Too generous, as far as we’re concerned. Here are a few of the comments on rzotten’s post.
Redditor u/naretev had a feeling about the drawing.
That might explain the anger issues.

Today it’s all about Joe Wicks doing free fitness classes from an inordinately clean and tidy so-called front room on YouTube.
But back in the day – by which we mean the early ’80s – the BBC’s Breakfast programme had Tony Britts.
And four decades later he’s gone viral all over again because, well, have a watch for yourself why don’t you.

Sad news today that comedian Eddie Large has died of coronavirus, aged 78.
Large, you won’t need reminding, was one half of Little and Large, a Saturday teatime TV staple for much of the ’70s and 1980s.
Our thoughts go to his friends and family, and of course Syd Little.
Here are just some of the things people were saying about him on Twitter, a glimpse of the affection the whole nation had for him.
1.
In the 80's my family were on the M5, overtaking a car with a massive Little & Large decal on the back. I was bemused a sticker even existed, then floored to see Eddie Large himself driving (with Syd in shotgun). I waved furiously. My 1st celebrity sighting & still the best.

Eddie Large died. Midnight Matinee Great Yarmouth 1978. They finished part one. I’d never heard laughter like it.
