  • Just watched an interview on BBC Breakfast with a chap who apparently has a job called a Futurist. He demonstrated virtual shopping,for a chair, using his phone. This was an example of our future way of life. What line do you stand in at careers day at school for that one? It just proves what my mother used to say, "it's the clever people who get paid for doing nothing ".
    I have come to the conclusion that spending my working life trying to make things for actual use in the real world has been a total waste of my time on this planet. Next time round things are going to be different for me.

    Hospital car parks namely Princess Royal University (Farnborough). Nowhere near enough space, cars just driving round and round. Thankfully can make use of the nearby sainsburys or would be a nightmare.

    Oh and the ticketing system whereby you have to guess how long you're going to be in there when paying. Much better at Darent Valley where you just pay as you leave.

    Having to pay for express drop-off at Stansted:

    1. For the fact that they charge for this in the first place.
    2. For the fact that it's not the person who benefits by being dropped-off who pays, but the person who does them a favour who does.
    3. For the fact that once you enter the approach road there's no turning back.
    4. For the fact that the freebie, hike a mile option isn't signposted until after the turn off for the express one.
    5. For the fact that they charge a flat £3.50 or £10 per min if you're longer than 10 mins.
    6. For the fact that as a nation we meekly and mildly accept this sort of shit as if it is in anyway normal or acceptable

    I'd like to say rip-off Britain at it's very worst, unfortunately I suspect that it isn't.

    Its a lot better than what they had previously before being rebuilt in the early 2000's & better than those at Woolwich, Sidcup & Ashford.

    Fred Perry collaborations.

    As someone who loved the brand these things are horror show. The latest one they've done with the south London skate brand Thames is among the worst.

    The model don't even look impressed.

    That is the standard face of anyone wearing our shirt for the first time in front of the badge at Sparrows Lane.

    Just heard about a new housing estate built near a cricket ground (Darlington Cricket Club.), the cricket club has applied for permission to put up some batting nets, I believe, and the new home owners are up in arms because players hitting the ball will make too much noise. Why move next to a cricket club if you cannot stand the noise of cricket? The club has been at the same ground in County Durham since 1866

    Fred Perry seem obsessed with these type of "different" models.

    This one looks like Roy Munson's landlady from the film kingpin.

    Reminds me of the idiot who moved round the corner from the Pelton Arms in Greenwich and immediately started making complaints to the council about noise from the pub. The pub's been there since the mid-1800s.

    As Roger Johnson might say, "if you don't like it then don't f%*king move here".

    Don't put the nets up. Still have batting practice and smash a few windows. I am sure the neighbours will soon change their minds

    The only thing I've found Fielding bearable in was his character in the IT Crowd, as he was playing a character. Other than that he is awful.

    I like the idea that Roger Johnson spends his time touring the country, furiously berating people about their life choices.
