    Fairly standard hotel rooms where the owner evidently thinks providing a shit ton of high tech TVs that have to be operated by some fecking 80mb app that I have to download in order just to watch BBC 1. Took me half an hour of trial and error, and the lovely 55" Samsung came within a whisker of landing in the street outside. I don't need it or want it.

    Shops that have fridges with drinks in that aren't actually cooling the drinks, so just a cupboard with a light in.
    At least give me a cold drink for the price of it.
  • Why has it taken so long for Torville and Dean to receive Knighthoods and Damehoods,when we dish them out to the likes of Sadiq Khan and Nick Clegg willy nilly

    Agree. Stop skating around the issue.

    Bar staff who can't remember a round of four or five drinks so you have to order them one at a time

    Services to knife crime are deemed more important than success at ice skating according to the powers that be and

    Sitting in a hospital waiting area, listening to other people's two way conversation as they have speaker on. If you must talk, at least turn the speaker off, we don't all want to know what you are doing.

    Seems to have become socially acceptable almost overnight that. I don't know whether its entitlement or what it is but it geberaoly provokes a response from me 
  • People who facetime in public is an odd one. Seen people do it whilst walking down the street. Ending up getting in everyone else's way. One foreign bloke was in the pub and was on video call to his missus, I presume it was because she was maybe far away in another country. Na, she popped in 10 minutes later to meet him. Why are you on video chat with eachother when you're going to meet up?

    Been told I am too old and fat to buy a Caterham for my 70th birthday next year.

    Might go for a Bentley instead, that will show her!!!

    You know those websites where you go to click something, but something else on the page has taken a while to load, and now it has loaded, everything else on the site has moved a little bit, and so you end up clicking on something else by accident. Then you have to go back, wait for the page to reload, and you end up doing the exact same thing - again!

    What have Khan and Clegg done about knife crime,all our marvellous mayor does is hammer the motorists with more and more charges,well worthy of a knighthood.

    I have a deep ingrained contempt of people who at the slightest whim get the phone out and start taking photographs of anything even if it means stopping dead on a pathway,or standing up at a concert or football match.
    What I have just seen on tv defies all known logic,in the tragic fire in Switzerland,there are photos of the ceiling on fire,and loads of people with their phones out.FFs,how many of these people perished in that blaze,I am lost for words.

    Think Willy Nilly deserves it more than Khan.
