Anything with Simon Cowell in it.

Unfortunately my wife is obsessed with those programmes so, unless I shut myself away elsewhere which she hates me doing, I have to suffer particularly under circumstances as they are. 

You are very patient Len. I can't see how forcing you to watch something you hate gives her pleasure?

Luckily my Mrs detests Cowell more than I do...

She just likes us to sit together. I read or surf the net when it's on but every so often my consciousness is blasted by 'I don't like it I love it' or something equally crass.

In Tescos earlier and allowed a member of staff to walk past and ensuring 2mtr distance, the ill mannered a*** just walked by with zero acknowledgement.

Manners in this country is going downhill rapidly.

Little twats off their faces driving at high speed through the village at 3am on Saturday.
If you look closely, you can see quite a lot of fiesta components amongst the rubble.

The car and its engine ended up about 30m apart.
The little scrote driving was shaken but apparently not seriously injured as fiesta airbags are quite effective.
However, if I see him again, he will be seriously injured.
(But see also general things that please you)

I was quite excited as on my phone it looks like the sign says ‘ tits and twat. Where the best costs less’

I might nip out tonight and change it

Over the last few years, it seems to have become customary for football pundits to refer to a football team "stringing five, six, seven, eight passes together", a striker "scoring eighteen, nineteen, twenty goals a season", the experience of "playing in front of forty, fifty, sixty thousand supporters", and so on.

It gets on my nerves a bit, but I've reluctantly accepted it as part of the evolution of language. However, Ray Houghton took it too far on Talksport yesterday, during a boring conversation about coronavirus and comparing the current times to the sacrifices people had to make during World War 2, when he referred to the conflict starting in "1939, 1940". 

World War 2 started in 1939. There's no fluidity about that. The same thing can't start twice. If you eat half a Mars Bar at 3 o'clock, and then eat the remainder at 4 o'clock, you cannot then say "I started eating that Mars Bar at 3,4 o'clock. 

Ray Houghton is extremely annoying anyway, particularly when accompanied by Danny Mills and Mark Saggers - three, four, five of the most irritating people on the airwaves.

Why not take the chance to start a rival Tits and Twats business whilst they are out of action. Every cloud and all that?

Spot on and reminds me of another annoying modern cliche when pundits refer to, for example, "yer Rooneys or yer Ronaldos" or "Yer Arsenals or yer Liverpools" like they all exist in plural

In fairness, yer Rooney's or yer Ronaldo's are top top players. not just top players, but top top players.

Especially when its a repeat of Only Fools and Horses.

Reality TV stars using their very young kids in their shows or TV adverts. These people might have chosen to document their lives for money but their poor kids haven't.

adverts like the AA and Funding circle that have a baby singing in them. it creeps me the fuck out.

I find Coughing helps keep the 2m distance

I'm starting to think that if someone comes close enough to me that I can punch them, then I'll punch them

I generally say something and they move back and apologise. 

However on three occasions, I was informed that they were within their rights to stand where they wanted and I should move. 

Punching was not, unfortunately, an option as they were all middle-aged women

Maybe other dogs question the validity of their claimed sexuality on canine social media?

Definitely think dogs can be gay. Our little terrier is all over the springer and tries have it away, even thought the springer is laying down at the time, but he won't go anywhere near the girl
