    Things that annoy you

    Just started catching up on "Saving Lives in Leeds" (new on the missus' radar), and it is particularly bad for this. Also, the endless reiteration by the patronising and dreary narrator of what the surgical process is meant to correct, or how important it is not to slice through the nerve/blood...

    That was a truly amazing free kick. Wilson's stop was world class

    Moving House

    Won't fall under general permitted development (not requiring planning permission) - only applies to REAR extensions. We had to get planning permission for a smallish extension at the rear because the original permission on the house carried a condition which prevented use of general permitted...

    Things that annoy you

    I've recently invested in a contract mobile as my employer has withdrawn our ability use our work iPhone for any personal use whatsoever (which is fair enough, i guess). So i have got an Android for the first time, and i'm not desperately impressed. It's a Galaxy A13, so at the cheaper end of...

    Lord Lawson of Blaby, as i recall, and his lovely daughter of the midnight chocolate-from-the fridge-in-a-bathrobe and coke habit (errr ... allegedly)

    F1 2023

    It's pretty poor when the sport's governing body don't even have a set of rules or contingencies for every possible eventuality and have to make it up as they go along. What a fucking shambles! The result should have been the positions at the end of the lap before the last red flag. The last lap...

    Driving round Coventry in the 80’s

    I had an unrestricted Fizzer from age 16 - used to get about 55 out of it (with a fair wind and gradient!!), and certainly dumped on the kids who had brand new mopeds that could only do 30!! My first car aged 17 was a 10-year-old Canley-built Triumph Toledo. Loved it! It listed to starboard a...

    America

    Interesting that the American shooter (today's one) kept their birth name (Audrey Hale) but supposedly identifies as male and has preferred pronouns of he/him - but the Independent article refers to them as she/her throughout! Good job the dead can't sue!

    If you're going to pretend to be a woman, at least make SOME kind of fucking effort!

    Yep - sacked. It wasn't just a random picture of David - it was a fucking Renaissance art class. How can you teach Renaissance art WITHOUT including that? I was going to draw this comparison, Bodicote. Lunacy!

    Big match

    Stamford Bridge was probably most recognisable by the Shed End being an enormous open terrace with a row of what were known in the day as "invalid carriages" in front - little blue fibreglass three-wheeled cars with hand controls and moped engines. We never had spikes on top of the fences at HR...

    Surprised you waited 36 hours without response before calling us all c*nts and flouncing off - thought that was de rigueur these days! I tend to have the fonts and icons reasonably large due to ageing eyesight, but i set the screen lock time to much longer than the default. I don't understand...
