Again, I would need to watch BBC1, BBC2, CBeebies, BBC News Channel, Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio 3, Asian Network and World Service, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, simultaneously over 4 TVs and 5 Radios, for the next 126 years to get what I consider to be value for the money I have already spent on the licence for over the 13 / 14 years that I paid it.Wheresmeticket? said:People who don't pay a licence fee complaining about the BBC ;-)

Overused away kits
Arsenal v Man City earlier. Absolutely no need for City to wear their away kit v Arsenal.
Now watching Napoli v Juventus, both teams playing in their away kits.
Napoli in predominantly white instead of their usual blue and Juventus in blue instead of their usual white and black.11 -

First lawn mow of the year. I use a shit flymo strimmer thing. It's only got one of the 3 blades and I rent a property with a lawn more akin to our pitch Circa the Barnsley game that got called off in 2013.
The combination beat me on the final square of grass when the blade caught a pebble and the strimmer exploded.
Now I have a square of grass longer than the rest of the lawn. My OCD has gone into meltdown now8 -
I suggest you trim the grass with a pair of kitchen scissors. You can do it blade by blade that way.3

I believe that Two Shats does his lawn by covering it in duck tape and then whipping it away quickly like a wax strip on a bikini line.cabbles said:

Having to type in my email address / password using a tv remote and it takes about 2 weeks then realise I've got the password wrong and have to start again. TV remotes should have slide out key boards.1

Pointless conversations. For example, where a brief hello / good morning exchange with a passing neighbour or work colleague would suffice, but being forced to go through the painful "how are you / not too bad , how about you / I'm fine / good good " nonsense, lots of pointless meaningless words where a simple hello would do. Also "good good" as an expression, very annoying in itself.2

Absoluteley. That show lasts for 45 minutes, but I reckon they could do it in a far livelier 30, if Armstrong cut out all the waffle about where the contestants come from and what work they do.Dennis_inthelastmin said:Pointless conversations.

Burnt Yorkshire puddings when you go out for Sunday lunch.
We only ever go out for Sunday roast when we have to, and until this year we had not done it for about five years, probably longer. Three times we have been out since February and on two occasions, at supposedly upmarket restaurants we have had Yorkshires that were burnt on top.

I've learnt the hard way but I very very rarely have a roast dinner outside of my home. it's always disappointing and so overpriced. if the yorkshires are great, the meat is usually tough, if the potatoes are great, the veg is often boiled to slop. £13 - £18 these days. I'd rather have a burger in the pub and cook my own roast.Algarveaddick said:Burnt Yorkshire puddings when you go out for Sunday lunch.

Having said the above, I did have a roast dinner yesterday in a pub in Lamberhurst. they'd sold out of roast lamb (by 3pm!!) but were serving the lamb rump from the mains menu with the roast trimmings. It was about £17 and was nice, if overpriced and the yorkshire was v disappointing.3 -

Sky and BT Sport showing replays while the game is going on. Also endless shots of managers, fans, subs, celebs in the crowd also while the ball is in play.
Use the half time break to discuss these nothing incidents.
I pay enough, I want to see all the game live.

i.e. they're showing a boring replay and you can hear the crowd getting passionate about something that is actually happening... Stop showing the latter and show me what the crowd are getting annoyed / excited about.3 -

- Yes lovely thanks, and you?
- Quite a quiet one actually.
- Oh, they're often the best aren't they..
I seem to hear this conversation almost every week.5
