    1 hour 30 minutes form the previous evening plus the 40 minutes, every weekend from the end of summer to a matter of days before Christmas. Plus the summer long build up to who is appearing. But other than the off button it hasn't got much competition with other channels at that time of night. And of course my wife loves it, so I either watch it or fall asleep.
    We now have a couple of weeks of has beens and minor celebrities getting covered in insects and eating various animal anus whilst having to listen to two northerners. I will not sit in the same room if thats on.

    The blond haired girl is driving me mad already,dont think I am going to watch too much of this crap.
  • The increasing number of nhs health apps. 
    I get notifications from ‘my skin doctor’ for dermatology, ‘my chart’ from the eye hospital and sometimes rheumatology, the bog standard ‘nhs’ one, ‘my GP’ and if I want to try and contact my GP I have to use ‘e consult’ . 
    I’ve just had an email from the GP - not via ‘my GP’ asking me to take my blood pressure. Apparently this is the last reminder and will expire today. Along with myself FFS.

    My cat doesn't have a shred of emotional intelligence. If you shout at him, he just thinks you're calling him. It's no use getting angry at any of his bad behaviours, 'cos he just thinks you're just inviting more of the same.

    Bet the little shit does know... He just takes pleasure in annoying you.

    One of my cats used to love meowing at me when I'd work at my desk, pleading to be let out, so I'd walk to the back door... Open it for them and they'd scarper - I'd go and sit back down at my desk, and they'd be sitting at the window, meowing to be let back in, only I'd open the window and they'd just sit there for a few minutes, letting the cold air into the house!!

    The fine for driving without insurance is always less than my car insurance on these Stop/Police/Action/Interceptor shows.
    Even up to dayte ones.

    I had a cat who did a similar thing. 

    She'd turn up at the back (patio) door and start to mew and claw at the door.  If you ignored her she'd bury her claws in the rubber seal holding the window in.  Once inside she'd go to the front door and repeat her routine.

    I wouldn't have minded so much, but there was a side entrance where she could have simply walked round.

    Reasonable if you are driving someone else's 'borrowed' car.

    The One Show; more vanilla than Vanilla Ice eating vanilla sponge wearing a George ASDA vanilla tracksuit.

    They have great guests, but the style and production are A+++++ dishwater. I'd rather spend 30 minutes listening to paint dry.

    Its the same for so much stuff made by ITV and the BBC l, trying so hard not to offend the permanently offended so end up making someone that offends nobody but is utterly shite and forgettable

    Can’t help reading this that you use the cat flap whilst they (the cats) use the door ! 😀

    People who come into the office but leave their laptops volume on loud. Surely that constant dum-ding of a teams message and the ba-ding-dong of a outlook notification pisses you off as much as it pisses off everyone else around you. 

    Put it on mute or put a headset in.

    As far as I can tell cats have justifiable distain for you and me and all humans. They probably see us as big stupid cats.
    Can you jump to the top of a sheer vertical fence six times taller than you and walk daintily along the top of it?

    I disagree, I think it's because the vast majority of people are exactly as PopIcon says - vanilla. It's not the apparently offended complaining, it's the terminally dull switching off if anything at all ouside their tiny sphere of interest pops up. If it's not "reality" TV, top ten music, premier league football, uggs, sliders, crocs, shit lager, grey jogging bottoms and hoodies or fucking Greggs, they are not interested...

    Maybe and there is something to be said for an overiding dullness of the nation and I use our disgracefully bland crisp stock choices as a data sample 

    Plain!, Salt and vinegar, cheese and onion 

    The Europeans laugh at our dull selection of savoury snacks and I don't blame them 

    And I make you right given the success of the X factor, anything with ant & dec on, I'm a celebrity get me out of here. Dull, dull, dull
