    Deciding to enter a competition online to find that the question 'Tell us, in 25 words or less, why you'd love to win blah blah blah...'

    I don't know if I'm annoyed because I'm not creative enough to submit a witty entry or if I just feel like they are asking for people to beg them for the prize.

    Here's my entry:

    'I cannot run therefore I don't actually want the two entries into the 2019 London Marathon thanks. I would much prefer the free flights please.'

    Wish me luck.

    Sounds like an incredibly inefficient lost luggage system.

    I wonder how much public money Boris Johnson wasted during his time as mayor? Were an audit of his dealings to be conducted, the scale of the waste would appall many.

    The Guardian 19 Nov 2018

    Three unusable water cannon bought by Boris Johnson when he was mayor of London have been sold for scrap, at a net loss of more than £300,000.
    Johnson bought the crowd-control vehicles from the German police in 2014, in anticipation of social unrest, without checking whether they could be used on London’s streets. In one of his most humiliating episodes as mayor the then home secretary Theresa May banned them from use anywhere in England and Wales. It left the capital’s taxpayers with three expensive white elephants.

    Chicken feed compared with a stadium, a bridge idea, an airport idea and new bus design .
    But there are many in this country who still think he is a serious contender for the top job.
    Its not just the scale of his wastefulness that annoys me, ( when is anyone in charge held to account for their vanity projects?), its his incompetence to do the job he is elected or chosen for that really annoys me.

    Indeed so. Another annoyance - to put it mildly - are those that elected him into office.You choose your leaders and place your trust, etc.

    When an armchair expert comments on the condition of my dogs hips based on a still photo, yet when I tell her the dogs Hip score she has no idea what I'm talking about.

    Speaking as an armchair expert, can I suggest that perhaps if your dog had a goatee and was drinking craft beer whilst sporting a skinny scarf, they may increase their hip score?

    People, last week, on social media laughing at videos of people gobbing off at the police, today sharing a post starting with "RIP Great Britain, you were too soft......bla"....

    In my expert opinion, cheaper than fur.

    Thought you might be @McBobbin when you said Munich. My first proper job up town was in the postroom of a patent attorneys (Withers and Rogers) about 20 years ago. Best mate is a patent attorney and would be surprised if we didn't know some of the same people as it's a small world.

    A small world of very strange people! We may well know some in common. I don't know too many people at W&R though... I don't tend to socialise full stop :D

    Always thought withers and Rodgers was an unfortunate juxtaposition. Clearly not rogering properly
