It’s almost as if they’ve made up the reasons (based on public reaction) after making up the rules but we know they’d never be shallow enough to do that! There are behavioural scientists on the Sage panel – they […]

Do you have a compressed air spray? If not, why not? If you do have one, try making sure everything inside is as dust free as you can make it. It may be not just the lens but the mechanics.

While not wanting to detract from the rest of your points, 3million is far nearer 5% than 10% and that’s just England. It’s about 4% of the UK as a whole.

If I lived on my own, that’s exactly what I’d do… possibly without the work bit, after all I don’t work on other bank holidays…. however I live with, and around people who want to do christmas so I go along […]

I think there’ll be a lot more sneering this year than ever before. Personally I’d rather not have christmas at all because I just don’t get it but I’m not about to sneer at people that want a party.
However, […]

I can only assume Johnson has a reason for his increasingly bizarre thoughts but I’m starting to think that there is none.

I can see the general principle but in my experience, barbecue attendees expect meat and if I’m manning the thing that’s not going to happen! I’d rather police the salad table to make sure nobody double dips!

Sorry about that – I don’t ‘do’ barbecues either. From the awful smell around our neighbourhood most sunny Saturdays, I thought I was alone. If invited I’ll always make sure I’ve eaten a hearty meal first so I […]

Too true. I’m (normally) perfectly happy for people to do christmas but I don’t really get it and find it false so feel a quite uneasy joining in. It’s made worse by not seeing my side of the family and the one I […]

I often wonder if it was my love of Do Not Adjust Your Set that has forever skewed my comedy tastes or if it was made for people like me. I went to a fancy dress party at my Junior school when I was about 9 or 10 […]

Move over… I’m first. Well.. after the old(er) people.. and the at risk younger ones. I’m hoping being a key worker over 60 will bump me up a few places but until most people who want it have had it, life won’t […]

Yes. Taskmaster. It’s got funnier as the series have got longer. The editing is masterful and the additional clips on YouTube suggest that some episodes could be much longer and retain (or add to) the humour […]

Well I never knew that! I went to school in Watford before going to Keele… was she so useless that she got there through clearing as well?

I’ll go for ‘new’ new and ‘new to me’ new, alongside old.
The problem is that new to me is often really obscure and no longer exist so I can’t go and see them live…and that’s the beauty of new new… you can go […]

Is this why they wanted to cancel christmas this year?

I’ve always been an early riser, even as a teenager I was always the first up in our house. I’m one of the few people that knew what the university campus looked like at 7am! These days, I wake around 5:30 every […]

I always liked him. He seemed to know his limitations so didn’t try to be something he wasn’t. He was a great supporter of up and coming acts too.

The ‘rules’ are even more open to interpretation than they were back in April but at the core, the lockdown this time is not so severe. Businesses that are allowed to stay open, now are open because they’ve had […]

Crosse & Blackwell Reduced Sugar & Salt are our favoured ones. Nice thick source and much better than the Heinz reduced sugar ones especially cold.

I just skip the first track now, perhaps it’s a ruse by Bright Eyes to encourage listeners to not use shuffle!
