The new sky advert with Idris Elba which will no doubt be shown every 5 minutes for the rest of the year . "With Sky Q I can record six channels at once......and then.. .....booooooom.... I can watch a seventh at the same time". I struggle to find one bloody channel worth watching Let alone seven.

Is anyone else watching the developing news in and around Texas with the unimaginable flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey? The scenes are quite unbelievable and it seems as though it's likely to get worse over the next couple of days. It has the feel of another Katrina, only 2 deaths officially...

I got moaned at for requesting a room with a bath and was then lectured about how much more it costs to provide one rather than a shower and then when shown to our room the bloke said there's the bed you will have sex in later. Not sure whether he was insinuating he'd be back to do terrible...

I stayed in a hotel once and the owner said he didn't serve beans with breakfast as he would lose his 5 star Wales tourist board rating!

Smokers that don't carry lighters or even fags. Every time I light up it seems there's a queue of people wanting this that and the other.

Good news although having lived in Telford for the past 15 years it feels like I see a real life version every day as it is.

Also waking up an hour before the alarm busting for a piss but too tired to get out of bed so you spend the next hour awake suffering.

I saw Monster Magnet support Queens Of The Stone Age back in about 2000. Never heard of them at the time but they are a decent band. Scared the hell out of me at the time though.

Ash, Blur, Coldplay, Deftones, Eels, Foo Fighters, Garbage, Hell Is For Heroes, Idlewild, JJ72, Korn, Led Zepplin, Manics, Nirvana, Oasis, Pulp, Queens Of The Stone Age, Radiohead, Super Furry Animals, Terrorvision, U2, Velvet Revolver, Weezer, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Zwan. I cannot think of any band...

My doctors are great, ring up from half 8 in the morning and you can get an appointment the same day. I've not been in about 7 years, my in-laws are pretty much in there weekly trying something on.

I used to go to Manchester every week for work around 15 years back and although a little run down in places the people were nice and the atmosphere was pleasant. I went back last year for the first time in a decade and the atmosphere had totally changed, I half expected to be stabbed every time...

A company I used to work for (1000 shops) cut store running hours by 5% when the minimum wage went up from £7.20 to £7.50 earlier in the year. I'm not sure what they would do if it was suddenly upped to say a tenner an hour. I would bet the unemployment rate would jump drastically in no time as...

I wish I earned £17k a year!

Ignorant people on trains. I've got on a busy train and sat in a seat. Next to me was a black backpack. A few seconds later a lad comes up and says that's my bag I'll be back in a minute so I have to say to half a dozen people sorry that seats taken. Anyway, the train pulled out the station and...

I totally agree. My house would have cost around £300 a month in mortgage repayments back in 1992. It now costs me £310. Inflation during that time comes in at around 100% so I'm in a much better position than my parents would have been.

The summer holidays. Day 1 and some little runt smashes a football into my satellite dish and has broken it. No amount of dangling out the upstairs window while pulling at it will get the reception back and i've got to fork out £65 to get it fixed. And then there's the little girl who stood in...

I can't see interest rates being increased significantly for a generation. Too many people are up to their eyeballs in debt and the slightest increase is going to leave many millions in a struggle to survive. Obviously this situation could have been avoided if the banks had been a little bit...

I'm spending the day hunting out tracks and bands I used to love back in the day but had forgotten about over the following years. Will Haven - Carpe Diem

The wife bought a load of flat packed furniture for the house. Six months of gathering dust later she built them, badly, but she built them. I don't think she'll bother buying anything next time :)

Terrorvision would be nice but I don't think it's the original line up any more which is a shame. Been listening to their best of album all day and can't for the life of me work out why they were not bigger than they were.
