Effing fireworks weeks before bonfire night. They're scaring the shit out of my dog, I don't mind fire work night or new years eve as we can be prepared for them ( telly or music on loud to drown the noise).

Some moron started setting them off before the Sun had even set earlier this week.
I'm still of the opinion that private fireworks should simply not be sold. The majority of them are complete cack anyway. Much better to go to a proper local organised one than the malcoordinated display of scallies letting off cheap crap in their 5 foot long garden.

It's Diwali tonight. That's why there are fireworks.
Saw a Telegraph bit of social media content, the usual bollocks, titled ‘Today is international sloth day’ with the standard video of presumably what telegraph readers want nowadays.,. But...
NO IT’S NOT!
If you want to put up a video of cute baby sloths, do it by all means, but it is not ‘International Sloth Day’ just because you said it is. Bah! I need to go to the pub.

But all these days are just made up by someone (and they're all shit). Perhaps if more people made up more shit days we could flood the market and destroy the philosophy.
BTW, it's International Get Annoyed At Nothing Day today.
The silly team names they have on Only Connect; Vikings versus Parishioners, I ask you? I look forward to seeing Onanists versus Felchers. Worse than that though are those horrible hieroglyphics: Twisted Flax and Horny Headed Snakeman, what the bloody hell is that all about? Why can't we have proper modern symbols for the 21st century like Smiley Face and Two Fingered Salute. Oh, and it's a bit too easy for me as well.

Why can't they have bloody Diwali on bonfire night?
I may of mentioned this before, but I'm gonna say it again anyway -
On Tipping Point, when a contestant gets to the final round, why do they put the gold counter in trap 2 or 3? It's obvious that 1 or 4 is better so you can take advantage of the sides.
And another thing, why do they go for an easy question for 1 counter on subjects THEY DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT in the final round when it's multiple choice and its gonna be a guess anyway? Ffs
I've only just got into Tipping Point & now try to watch it every day. What really winds me up is Ben Shepherd or the contestant continously having to say what drop zone they want to put the counter into when they're in the jackpot section of the show. Just say " I'll stick to drop zone.... until I say otherwise"
Oh, and why go onto a quiz show if you don't know anything about anything.
I like the ones who can't even press the button at the right time and continue to get it wrong. It is mind-numbingly easy, you deserve nothing in life.

One of my pet hates. Richard Osman gets very close to pulling them up for that on Pointless after they say "Well it's not really my area..." on history, having said the same on words and sport previously. What is your "area" then mate - "your Mum"?

Best answer to a question on Pointless -
Q. Name anyone who appears in the top 100 most influential people of all time list.
A. Simon Cowell
Then the woman proceeded to look astonished that he wasn't included on the list alongside the likes of Hitler, Muhammed and Jesus Christ himself etc.

I auditioned for Pointless once, we did the best of anyone on the day and managed a pointless answer for one of the rounds. Did not get picked as we weren't interesting enough. Did spot another couple we auditioned with - who knew practically nothing - on the show later, picked because they had a better back story. They pick people/teams who are going to be interesting on the show regardless of if they actually know anything about anything!
If that was my kid and I'd spent as many days as their parents have standing in the pissing rain watching them train and play I'd be thinking fuck God , what about me?
Sky news reported on the case of conman Mark Acklom this morning. Apparently the police have said that 'he could be in Spain, Europe or somewhere further afield'. Good work eh?
Van hire companies in 2017 still not having reverse parking sensors on their effin transit vans , oh and why do every single one of their driver only ever listen to kiss?
Another good one on Pointless was when some dopey mare was asked what happened in Dallas in November 1963, she replied I never used to watch it back then.

That would explain why most contestants have their banter ready since they have already gone through a rehearsal. Mind you the last episode I watched the most interesting thing about a team seemed to be the fact they were Irish.

Or name anyone in a photo of the England cricket squad with The Queen and Prince Philip and the dithering old fool came out with "Well, I obviously know the Queen and Prince Philip, but none of the others"

I expect most shows are like this, that explains why there are so many freaks on tv quizzes rather than people who are actually any good. With a few exceptions (Mastermind, University Challenge and Only Connect) we don't watch quizzes to be dazzled by the brilliance of the contestants. Far better if Average Joe sitting in his Smethwick bedsit has someone to feel superior to, rather than someone to admire.
It's a shame though with Pointless. I like the programme and think it's an excellent format, but the mindless chatter in round one really does my head in. Just tell us their name, hometown and relationship to their playing partner. That'd just take a few seconds. We don't need to know any more.

I'll take responsibility for own fucking success thank you very much.
