As someone who had to be in the car when the England game was on, I was really pissed off with the coverage on 5 Live. FFS, just describe the match. If you do it well, you'll be painting images in my head. If you do it reasonably, I'll at least have a fair idea what's going on. If you do it poorly, you'll be waffling on about all sorts of inconsequential shit and I'll have no idea what's happening on the pitch. I have no interest whatsoever in who is sitting next the Ed Shearan, in whom someone thinks Prince George would like to see come on as a substitute or in how Overexcited-Karen thinks the team ought to be playing. Just, describe the match! Impressed? Definitely not.
It is important to know what their half time snacks are though.
When you’ve been on hold for half an hour or so, the call finally gets answered and the call handler gets impatient when you don’t respond within 0.5 seconds. As if you’ve had nothing better to do except sit on the edge of your seat with the phone pressed to your ear, waiting for the hold music to finish and for someone to answer.
Just seen Darren Farley doing a Benitez impression on sky sports news - do people find this fat annoying twat funny?
I can’t stand impressionists. It’s mildly entertaining once, then it becomes annoying.
Not as annoying as ‘comedy songs’ tho. Kept getting one via WhatsApp of the mixed raced comedian doing a Matt Hancock ‘it wasn’t me’ by Shaggy. Just not funny at all. Makes my toes curl, especially when someone physically shows you it cos they think its hilarious.

Karen Carney full stop. Voice like a chain-saw, unable to pronounce words properly (Souf-ampton, penal-ee area, doing the dir-ee work)...I have had to switch the radio off when she is commentating as she makes my ears sore.

I know the video you’re talking about - all I’ll say is, my girlfriend is lucky she showed it to me in public.

Worst thing about impressionists is how they shoehorn them in, too.
Get asked a question and then say "Well, let me tell you how I think Robert De Niro would answer that..." given it's one of the only three vaguely decent impressions they can do.
Or the videos that they have to put a picture or name at the bottom of who they are doing - if it's any good, you shouldn't need to.
Impressionists are only as good as their material.
If you’ve ever seen the series “The Trip” with Steve Coogan snd Rob Brydon - it is an example of brilliant material along with two capable impressionists/comedians superbly satirising themselves by demonstrating how impressionists can be awful bores.
Humble pie from me here,I moaned about the parity of mens and ladies pay at grand slams,have to say,this year there have been some really cracking ladies games,not too many of the one sided massacres that we usually get.

they still don't have to play as much tennis regardless of the quality
True and that was my main gripe,but there does not seem to be the amount of early round games in which a 6-0,6-0 in 54 minutes would earn a lady the same as a 3 hour match in the mens section,still think it is wrong.Thats why on the show courts a ladies match nearly always goes first because if they played last,after 2 mens singles,no one would stay.
Went up to QE Hospital for the first time in about 9 years and quite frankly stunned the car parks still use old parking meters which are cash only, no change given and overpayments accepted.
I mean I don't resent paying an hour's parking at a hospital but you'd have thought they would at least have something set up with a company like RingGo or one of those companies you can pay by a mobile app. Especially when i've hardly used cash within the last 18 months and didn't even have £1.50 on me for an hour's parking where I hoped I could at least pay by card or use an app.
Ended up parking along Cemetery Lane. Not because I didn't want to pay £1.50 I just didn't expect the parking meter to still be so ancient and at least give punters a fair chance to pay.
Sink taps that don’t actually have enough room for you to put your hands under to wet them. Absolute joke positioning. Why would a sink basin in a public place (bar/pub/restaurant) require a full sink anyway? Half the sink, lengthen the taps! I dream of being able to wash my hands for the required 20 seconds if only I could get them wet enough!
When you slightly mistype a long word and it looks like autocorrect will help you. However, by the time you get to the end of the word, it’s miles off unfoggily unfortunately.

If it’s cold guess who gets the fleece jumper.
If you are buying rounds guess who’s card is at home.
