minor things that make you fume

Y has it?

Ah, I meant bloody. I suspect it's the connection between the base and the kettle as my wife said it took her a while yesterday to switch it on after fiddling.

I'm more annoyed that if she knew it was on the way out she hadn't replaced it as I need my tea or coffee in the morning. Time to get the pan out...

This us clearly an emergency for and civilised chap. Unplug the base and try cleaning the terminals with a dry tooth brush. Do the same with the bottom of the kettle (empty it first like).

Speeding tickets have gone through the roof it seems since lockdown. They are finding all sorts of ways to claw money back. You watch them issues loads of fines over the census.

I don't know if the tickets continued but the first lockdown saw a lot of much emptier roads which would have tempted people to put their foot down. Bet that triggered more than a few cameras.

express my utter disgust at your repression on a radio 4 programme

Is it time for woman’s hour already?

Is it time for woman’s hour already?

It seems its woman's hour all day every day on radio 4 and 4 extra.

If I hear one more programme about how women have always been denied opportunities, by evil men, immediately followed by a programme extolling the virtues of yet another woman of great wealth and achievement in the (insert century here), without any awareness of programming irony, I'll probably explode.

Yeah maybe a fair point.

TV shows that are pure rubbish, but won’t go away.

For example.... “A Place in the Sun” and it’s various offshoots which began in 2000, “You’ve Been Framed” 1990 and the worse of the bunch, that “Death in Paradise” bollockx which began in 2006.

At least when I’ve been on holiday I’ve avoided all of those apart from the first one; it’s even on Swedish TV back-to-back episodes just like in the U.K.!.

So don't watch them!! There must be a fair number of people who do watch them otherwise TV companies wouldn't make them because the advertisers wouldn't give them the money!

Census? What census, and what do you mean fines?

You could be waiting so time if you’re expecting a reply.

Don't tell me I'm the only plant-pot who crapped (sorry officer) himself and filled theirs in......

I want to win lottery so I can buy Grammarly and quickly shut it down so I never have to see another one of their youtube commercials (not sure if they play in the UK, but they are all over youtube videos in the USA).

Yep same over here so please do it and a few executions won't be frowned upon.

Thanks to my granddaughters watching this crap when they come round to ours, I now know a bit more about "influencers"
Remember Money for Nothing from Dire Straits with reference to MTV, magnify that sentiment by 1000 and you've got these numbskulls.
How did we let talentless binheads be able to print money like they do.
Yes, I'm as envious as feck!
