    "On today's show...", then 5 minutes later "Still to come ..." Have our attention spans really become that short?

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Whatever happens (and i mean whatever), this kind of freak show has to end. The only way they can do that is by a change in the rules for the EFL and Prem which sets out a contingency plan for what happens if a season cannot be completed. My suggestion would be that there must be a date cut-off...

    George Floyd

    I have to say i don't understand the "Take The Knee" solidarity campaign. It originally kicked off last year when the NFL players chose to kneel instead of standing and singing the national anthem at the start of every game, in protest against (IIRC) the nation being institutionally racist. So...

    What's everyone watching while on 'lockdown'?

    I'm with you Clint. Typical of Scorsese films - could have been an hour shorter and possibly would have had more intensity as a result. Looked like he was trying to remake The Godfather on a Netflix budget! Good enough, though.

    If you WERE a bloody thirsty zombie or a flasher, i'm sure people would cross over soon enough!

    Most irritating things during the pandemic

    Thereby stepping into oncoming traffic. The number of times i had to swerve before i hit 'em! It's what you call a dynamic risk assessment - do i want to face the extremely small likelihood of something that will most probably not cause me too much damage, OR face almost certain severe injury...

    Things that annoy you

    Isn't it a conjugation of biographical picture? I get annoyed by people pronouncing it anything other than bio-pic (e.g. rhyming with myopic grrrrr), which i have always used.

    Maitlis

    Is the Editor of Newsnight really called Katie Razzall? I think i saw a few magazines edited by her when i was younger. Clearly changed the spelling of her surname by deed poll though!

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Isn't that what they do/did in Scotland. Obviously it is skewed in favour of the team that has played in the better division - but those pushing for promotion would be more likely to have the momentum ...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    This average performance over the past three seasons is plain nonsense, and goes against everything football is about. Even in normal times you have teams that have a freakily good season, or one that is freakily bad. It doesn't mean they don't deserve to go up or down under the rules. As has...

    The 'not so obvious' hot babes thread!

    Is that a euphemism? Not heard that one!

    We used to call it "having a piss in a shop doorway on our way home from the boozer"!

    So it's goodbye Ikea,

    I'm not sure they did - there are (well, were) tens of thousands of students within walking distance for all their flatpack crap!

    The place we go skiing in the French Alps has a bar/restaurant owned by a Brit - their home-made toffee vodka is a thing of beauty - especially warming after a day on the piste!

    Most irritating things during the pandemic

    Further to this, i have now been blocked by the Facebook group, showing what a bunch of small minded bigots i share my village with. Oh, and the Admins hide behind the front page so i cannot contact them to ask for their reasoning. Cunts!

    Most irritating things during the pandemic

    I stuck my head above the parapet on our village Facebook group (part of the Spotted family - don't know how common they are) to request that the people who blast music and shouting to the people in their road after the clap (it now goes on for an hour, and can be heard WAYYYYY beyond their...

    Things that freak you out

    Have a good friend of the family who is one of the foremost brains on military GPS and listening equipment. He said to me not so long ago "the thing i find most amazing about people thinking they're being monitored is that they think they aren't!"
