    What is this country's obsession with Lulu?
    She appeared on the latest Hootenanny on the same bill as Olivia Dean, Imelda May, Jessie J, Heather Small and Ruby Turner -  I thought she was shown up - time to hang up the mike.
    Her rendition of that Bowie classic was bizarre to the point of being funny. 
    what Bowie classic?
    The man who sold the world.
    ah, The song he gave her after they had "Ugandan musical discussions", and that he sang backing vocals and played sax on.

    People on twitter saying Root has only scored so many runs because he plays on ‘English roads’. Wouldn’t bother me so much if they weren’t the same people saying Anderson only got wickets because he played on green top pitches in England. Which one is it then you thick twats?

    Tesco Express and similar. Pull in to get fuel only to find all the pumps are taken by selfish people going to do a weekly shop. No intention of getting fuel they just park on the pumps despite alternative spaces available for shoppers only.
    I’ll add old people parking in parent and child spaces

    Old people.

    Had the misfortune of having to go into my doctors this morning. Been referred for something but they got my old address, so had to queue to see one of the delightful (or not) receptionists. The amount of entitled old pricks that pushed infront of me was outrageous, I ended up laughing and rolling my eyes at the receptionist who just smiled back and said ‘I must be standing here for nothing then’. The other receptionist on the phone piped up ‘I’m on the phone so you’re not waiting for nothing’ not getting the sarcasm in my original comment. C***s the lot of em.

    I was listening to Ian Bothams podcast a couple of weeks back and he was saying pretty much the same thing about the whole team, in that the pitches and the light is different in Australia to England and we should adapt. Also how unprepared we are and that we flash the bat at every ball. I thought he has fallen into the same old ex-cricketer who knows the answer to all problems now that he doesn't play anymore. 
    I remember Botham playing, very fine player when in form but I do remember him having more that a few off days.  Not that he's on telly anymore Geoff Boycott became a much better player once he retired and started telling everyone what shots to take and those to leave. He was like taking Mogadon watching him open for England.

    Families that park in Parent and Child spaces, and then one parent gets out and the child and other parent stays in the car...

    Wish I had a decent heating system and well insulated house. Sitting here with 3 jumpers on and thermals, fire lit yet Im freezing and can still see the steam coming from my breath. 
    Go to Weatherspoons and buy a refillable cup of coffee for £1.60.
    Stay until closing and next morning get there for opening.
    Rinse and repeat.

    I made that mistake once and once only at the "World of Leather" roundabout Tesco Express.
    Never again.

    Keep hearing Diane Morgan's whiny northern voice on everything. I used to like her as Philomena Cunk and in some of her other earlier roles, but she's way too over exposed now. To be fair, no-one's going to be as funny as they used to if Charlie Brooker is no longer their script writer, but blimey just give us a rest for a bit.
