The Cloud Quits

The Cloud, which has recently complained of suffering from severe stress due to an increased workload, has emphatically resigned its role as the etheric information portal of the internet.

According to sources close to The Cloud, its initial briefing did not disclose the full extent of how onerous and nauseating the job would become. Supposedly, an unforeseeably high volume of duck-face selfies, objectively boring foodie instagrams and self-indulgent Facebook statuses have overloaded the system, causing the previously coveted position as the world's largest online databank to become untenable.

It is not yet known whom or what will be lined up as The Cloud's replacement. Some pundits have suggested Stephen Fry for the role, whilst various technology experts are tipping a return to the now totally obsolete practice of storing digital information on portable USB devices small enough to be swallowed by a cockroach.

The Cloud could not be reached for comment but was reportedly overheard storming off muttering "I didn't sign up for this shit" under its breath.
