I think we need some thumb's up and buttons or emojis for stuff like this.

It means comfort but we can’t just have normal people words so we have to try and sound clever and end up completely the opposite. I always think of policemen in Police Camera Action

Having a quick pint in a pub in my Manchester city centre. Pint cost £5.30.

The machine they offered to pay with card gave me a pre selected list of tips I could offer.

There is a 'Tap to Tip' machine that offers tips to go "directly to the team".

What was the former? And why am I feeling pressured to tip a place punting beer at £5+ a pint?

You don't generally,only restaurants with me.
Unless of course it's a service provided for something done at home.
My regular maybe have a drink on me kind of thing.

Yeah I went to the bar and asked for a pint, it wasn't table service. By all means happy to offer a drink on me voluntarily but hate it being asked.

So called celebs getting gigs for travel shows. Just show us the interesting places without making it about them and massaging their egos.

UK Television.

It's hardly surprising half the country is depressed. Back for a few weeks and there is so much nonsense on the box. The advertisements are also incredibly sad on a lot of occasions.

It's a lot worse in the USA, regular series have been suspended for several weeks and replaced with reruns of old Christmas specials. That's what happens if you rely totally on advertising for TV revenue.

How did we used to cope without every bloody celebrity chef having a Christmas special telling us how to cook Christmas Dinner?

Think I've said this before, but the amount of broken glass on the pavements. Walking the dog earlier and constantly having to pull her away or pick her up. Wankers. Not even near pubs/shops either.

Am ill, so listening to 6-0-6 for my sins. The callers make CWR's seem rational!

'Barry Bannan is the best midfielder in the country'
'Better than Kevin De Bruyne?'
'Well, I don;t think Ipswich could afford his wages.'

I thought the Beeb had a specialist pronunciation unit (or did that get cut to pay for the diversity badwagon).
If it still exists maybe they should spend some time teaching commentators and pundits how to pronounce Kevin de Bruyne's name by listening to one of their own favoured Belgian contributors.

It's da-Brerner not di-Broyner - even forget the gutteral Flemish phlegm if you want, but have a bit of respect FFS!

If only. My daughter got scared by a video by Rebecca Zamolo and Matt something or other. They are grown adults who act like children and make videos about really weird shit.

Gyökeres is still pronounced incorrectly by nearly everyone who attempts it, including Clive Eakin.

Does my head in.

Airport check in desks. I think I’ve posted this before but always get pissed off thinking what the fuck are you talking about? Literally, what is the conversation? I can’t understand for the life of me what the need is to hold up a check in desk for ten minutes. If you have questions that can’t be answered in advance go to the fucking customer service desk.

Yesterday I’m at the absolute cow shed that is stanstead airport and I got a few answers to my questions. A man in front of me trying to travel on an expired passport. Expired! Idiot. And then what’s the conversation after that? It should be “your passport has expired I can’t check you in. Any other questions please go to customer service”

Then a polish bloke in front of me who can barely speak a word of English (which is fine btw, unless you’re about to do this) starts to try and haggle and argue with the check in person because he’s only paid for two bags and yet has turned up with three. 10 more minutes.

So 20 minutes to check in two parties of two. Fucking joke

I was there yesterday too - it’s not a great place.
There was a stewardess on the plane who was probably the last person you’d want in a customer facing role, she couldn’t bring herself to say more than 1 or 2 words on the plane to passengers (seriously) and at one point stood on my foot and visibly looked as though she was having to restrain herself from losing it.
Very strange.

I was at Stansted earlier this year. Fuck me. It felt like I’d entered some sort of ‘The Only Way is Essex’ dimension of hell.
