When going on sites and it always asks if I want to sign in using Google. Especially sites I definitely don’t want my log in details on.

Anyway to stop that?

Some scummer managed to get in to my car last night. Think I may not have locked it that’s on me.

Annoying thing is this was at 9pm, we were still up! The pillar in front of the front door to the house perfectly blocks the door bell cam seeing the front of the car. Nothing of any value in the car, just the bastard threw whatever litter into the footwell looking for stuff and didn’t clean up after himself!

I remember being in the US, and this bloke started chatting to me and mentioned his wife being Irish. I was like “oh yeah. My mums from Ireland. Where’s your wife from”? It turns out She was of course Irish from 3 generations ago.

Americans seem to cling on to these identities a lot more than we do.

I was in a bar over there and this guy picked up on my accent and started going on about him being Irish, the IRA and the Brits etc. He’d never actually been there and was luckily lost for words when I got out an Irish passport card.

I went to university with quite a few Americans. They claimed to be Italian, 'Scotch', Scotch-Irish, English, Welsh, German etc etc. Pretending to be Irish is the most popular though.

Waiting for software engineers. Me and a colleague have worked stupid hours this weekend to take a machine out and install a new one. Any goodwill you build up with the customer goes the moment you hand over to software

US television series with ludicrously convoluted plots and contrived end-of-season cliffhangers whose sole purpose is to keep the writers in employment for as long as possible.

I usually give up watching after about five episodes.

How did that NME advert in 1976 go that attracted Julie Burchill and Tony Parsons? Something like 'Two hip, young gunslingers wanted'.

I confess I do like JB's prose, TP not so much.

How the fuck did those two veer so much from the left to the right?

I'm 56 and I think I'm getting more left wing as I age.

Tv shows where they follow 3 or 4 stories but keep cutting to another one then switching back to show the next bit of the first. Just show all of the story from start to finish. Seems now this is the standard format.

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 supply to organ X while trying to resect a tumour, etc. Must they assume we are all fucking stupid?
