Gary Neville accidentally mansplains what a holiday is in bizarre podcast moment
Gary Neville is one of the busiest pundits around - so much so, that he doesn't really seem to understand the concept of a holiday. Appearing on Steven Bartlett's Diary of a CEO podcast, the former footballer explained how he manages to get downtime. "What I try to do is have a mini-retirement throughout the year", Neville began. “This weekend, I’m going to Spain, Friday till Monday morning. I call …that’s like a mini-retirement." However, Bartlett was quick to point out: "That's a weekend." Click here to sign up for our newsletters

The bizarre 'continental breakfast chair' video explained
The bizarre 'continental breakfast chair' video explained
There's a chair on TikTok that has gone viral, and left viewers pretty confused... In the videos, the uniquely-shaped chair can be seen as women in suits climb onto the structure and sit in a strange position that doesn't look the comfiest. The chair was created by artist Anna Uddenberg as part of art installation by Meredith Rosen Gallery in New York where it was on display from March to April 2023. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The Swedish, Berlin-based artist who often explores "the merging of the body and self with technology" was for this piece inspired by "anesthetic armature of our increasingly automated environment and distorts it into sexualized pseudo-functional sculptures," according to a press release. “Similar to a BDSM contractual agreement, the body is wilfully supported, entrapped, pampered and ultimately rendered useless, all while on view for public consumption." @breakfastbyanna "Continental Breakfast" installation by Anna Uddenberg (2023) #fypシ #fyp #art #viral When it comes to the name of the installation - "Continental Breakfast" - it "speaks specifically to the body as an asset to modify, control in order to relinquish autonomy to user-friendly technologies," The strange seat takes aesthetic influence from airline seats, hospital architecture and hotel design, since "the sculptures express a hyper-functionality inaccessible to human use." This kind of sculptural and performative practice is what Uddenberg is known for. One clip from TikTok has over 48.9m views which shows several images of the chair as well as women in suits maneuvering themselves into the seat too. One person wrote: "Is it just me or dose anyone knows what it's used for." "To this point I have never understood this video," another person said. Someone else added: "Please what’s really going on here." Well, we're glad a breakdown of Uddenberg's vision has cleared this confusion up. Have your say in our news democracy.

What are beige flags? The dating trend that means you are too boring to date
What are beige flags? The dating trend that means you are too boring to date
There's no denying dating can be complicated – and just as we've become familiar with red flags, there's now a rainbow of colours added to the mix. There are green flags (positive indicators the relationship is compatible), pink flags (minor issues or relationship concerns that should be monitored) – and now beige flags. Coined by Caitlin MacPhail, beige flags essentially outline a dull, uninteresting person with a generic dating profile that gives the impression they can't be bothered. Typical examples include using puppy photos (that don't belong to them) as a substitute to cover up for lack of personality, one-word responses or making the love of coffee your quirk. Beige flags are completely subjective, as everyone has different interests and relationship ideals. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter "If someone has a lot of beige flags on their profile, you’ll probably get to the end of it without having really learnt anything about them," Caitlin told Mashable. "Something about whether chocolate belongs in the fridge or the cupboard, them saying that they’ll probably love their dog more than you, or lots of gym selfies and references to the gym are typical beige flags," she continued. In a viral clip that racked up over half a million views, Caitlin outlined her top beige flags – and if you're into any mainstream sitcoms, you might want to sit this one out. @itscaito beige is the new red and in other news dating apps are a wasteland ? #hinge #redflags #datingredflags #hingedating Caitlin's "beige flags" has become such a TikTok phenomenon that she now regularly reviews dating profiles in a game called "R U BEIGE??" She disclaimed: "Everyone sends their own profiles to me, so I'm not just picking up any randoms off the internet – just so you know." The concept is simple, three beige flag strikes, and you're out.
