    Things that annoy you

    I drove to work for the first time in a while late morning, and every fucking channel is doing it - CWR "Simply having a wonderful Christmas time" FUCK OFF We're not - i haven't even opened the first window on my red wine advent calendar

    The 'not so obvious' hot babes thread!

    If she had been drawn by a graphic designer for a computer game or something, the producer would say "Nah, you've got that all wrong - no-one looks like that"! Odd girl, but great actress.

    Fucking seriously??? Shoot Zoe Ball (or "The Ball", as she likes to annoyingly refer to herself) in the head

    Like the well-established colour clash between sky blue and green-and-yellow, you mean???

    Things that annoy you

    According to Which?, it probably was! Most stuff supposedly "on sale" over Black Friday fortnight has been cheaper earlier in the year. It's a fooking con!!

    Things that annoy you

    It's quite widespread now, i believe. In South Worcestershire (Wychavon District) we pay £55 a year for a brown wheelie bin, collected fortnightly, same day as dry recyclables.

    Things that annoy you

    Certain higher education institutions in the area suffer from the same thing, as well as having a "post tortoise" policy ... While stitching a cut on the hand of a 75 year old farmer, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to politicians and...

    The 'not so obvious' hot babes thread!

    I don't know if anyone else noticed on last night's Taskmaster how exquisite Katherine Parkinson's shoulders are! (Probably just me!)

    The 'not so obvious' hot babes thread!

    And for me too, LG! ;) EDIT: not sure if that means the same as "pro-boner" ...

    The 'not so obvious' hot babes thread!

    Just catching up with Britain's Most Historic Towns on All4 catch-up, and i'm developing something of a thing for Prof Roberts! Delightful Bristolian lilt to her accent, and the discussion about her knickers in the episode about the Tudor era was quite pleasant! Been locked down too long...

    This is very odd! Whatever happened to the innocent art of photocopying your arse??!

    Greg Clarke and my confusion....

    ... but by the same tone, someone of South Asian (i.e. Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan) MIGHT be offended by being called black. Hence black people using the term BME rather than the accepted BAME is actually being quite offensive! It's a minefield for us honkies, even if we have the...

    Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine

    I'm absolutely convinced that medicines, vaccines and the like that come to market in the UK (particularly those which have been through development in the UK) are safe, and the data from Phase III clinical trials seen by the oversight body (Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Authoity...

    Greg Clarke and my confusion....

    The difference between "People of Colour" (acceptable) and "Coloured people" (offensive) is that Coloured was used as a means of discrimination particularly during the years they suffered segregation in the USA. That's the basis of it. I was having a candid discussion with a colleague from...

    New estate built on what was a golf course? There's one in our village called Hillcrest - flat as a pancake!!

    Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine

    The Valneva vaccine in the table that @Bugsy posted earlier in the thread appears to be an inactivated live virus. I have never heard of Valneva, but it's possibly a recent merger of companies that were more widely-known (note that these mergers and name changes often happen as a result of a...

    Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine

    I will wait patiently in line until they get down to my category (55-60, no known underlying health problems - touch wood), then i will willingly have it. I simply do not understand the conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers and other collective frothers who believe this is all set up to track...

    Things that annoy you

    I'd rather people muted themselves when they aren't contributing (so why are they there at all, you might ask!), as the "noises off" can be really distracting, but the learning curve really shouldn't be that steep, as @skyblue1991 says

    Things that annoy you

    Absolutely fucking spot-on!! And in some cases, these are people who have been put in positions of authority regarding Covid response in major educational establishments (mentioning no names) Fucking clueless! Oh, and Chris "I'm Very" Whitty and Patrick Unbalanced needing to ask the...
