    Why is Amanda Holden on Britain's got talent?

    Its good old British Sarcasm at its best... Just like how we've got a Newspaper called "The Sun"

    Internet passwords that have to have a number, a lower case letter, an upper case letter, a non-alphanumeric character and an anagram of a marsupial in them.

    Maybe at the start of a twelve hour shift but when you're on your fourth alarm bell of the day even you might say ''aww, feckin' hell, not again".

    Sitting in the East Stand many years ago for a pre-season friendly, we had acres of empty seats around us. We were spread out. A bag here, a foot resting there. Luxury. So inevitably. a family of six sat in the row in front of us and made us move our lounging feet.

    "You know what that's called, son?" my dad asked, shaking his head in disgust. "The human herding instinct."

    Ever since, I've been acutely aware of the phenomenon. I notice it on trains, at stations, when people are parking their cars. I hate to witness it at the cinema (I openly ask people what goes thrrough their heads, but they're usually just shocked I said anything).

    It's especially noticeable in the Donyngs Recreation Centre changing rooms - there might be 200 free lockers, but I guarantee the next person in chooses the one next to mine.

    I'm aware of it, but I'll never understand it. I kinda wish dad hadn't pointed it out, I'd probably be far less irritated in general.

    I have noticed this when parking my car in a supermarket car park. Not afraid of walking, I will park my car away from the store, where there are plenty of empty spaces and park with at least one space either side, but the amount of times I have come out of the store to find someone parked next to me, even though there are still plenty of spaces around, WHY?

    Funny how we all avoid the herding instinct at a row of urinals though eh?

    What confuses the hell out of me is how someone can go into an office toilet and think it is OK to do one or a combination of the following:

    - piss on the seat
    - piss on the floor
    - piss on the uplifted toilet seat cover so the piss sprays onto the walls and cistern
    - shit all over the bowl
    - block the toilet with at least 5 metres of bog roll
    - not bother to flush

    I'll be honest - most people in my office needed a degree to work here, or are working to get a degree. What the hell is wrong with people.

    And I've heard the ladies are even worse...every 6 months the ladies get a bollocking from the office manager for it...apparently someone managed to leave shit outside of a cubicle...fair play, never seen that in the gents.

    Why someone would fax back a copy of an e-mail that they've printed out.

    Why fax is still a thing in general?

    "Hi, I need to send you a copy of a contract, can I scan it and email it to you?"
    "No, you need to fax it, we can't accept contract copies by email."
    "OK, by the way, I know what tomorrow's Euromillions numbers are, can I scan them and email them to you?"
    "Oh, yes please"

    This site explains what a 'strong' password is. Most websites that insist on numbers and characters are missing the point. https://xkcd.com/936/
