‘Breaking News’ being something that isn’t going to happen and you weren’t aware otherwise eg Jack Harrison not going to Leicester, King Charles will not get his old chap out at a public event today etc.

The interminable pauses between saying 'And the winner is' and actually announcing the winner.

Up the ramp / steps, through the door?  Doesn't seem too tricky, although I'm not sure they've ever had a disabled person attempt it...

8 miles South of our house search teams are looking for Nicola Bulley, who has been missing for 2 weeks.

Police have had to issue 2 Dispersal Orders to large numbers of people going to the village to take selfies and record SM video clips. Why do these people feel the need to do this ?

Thick twats that wait by the petrol pump for their partner to do their weekly shopping rather than move out of the way so that I can fill my car up. Twats.

The thing about big brother is the first one was actually quite interesting. Take a load of people from different walks of like and see how they get on. the longer it went on the bigger freak show it became with them seemingly wanting more and more outrageous “characters” every series. It just became pathetic.

Yep, and this is why the recent first series of 'The Traitors' worked relatively well. No doubt they'll dumb it down for the subsequent series...

F*** me.... There's always a large quota of thick people that pitch up on TV quiz shows but ITV's 'Lingo' attracts a whole new level of imbeciles.

Don't f***ing apply to go on a TV quiz show if you're as thick as mince, FFS.

The lunatics on Gumtree, I’ve literally had the exact same exchange with five people this week:

"Hello, is this still available?"

"Hi, yes it’s available."

Never hear from them again. I’m sorry, I didn’t realise that was a pub quiz question, I thought you wanted to buy it.

Honey, we're selling the house!  

Why's that Handsome, you always said we'd never move again.

Because Radford Estate Agents have just put a leaflet through my door.  They have an award winning service, over 60 years of experience and for every property instructed they will put us into a prize draw for a weekend away.

First I need to arrange to have all the double glazing, soffits, fascias and guttering replaced.  DG Direct have been to the door.  They have an extensive range of styles and colours and are offering 20% off with affordable payment plans.  

I didn't know I needed any of these things.  How can I have been so blind.

The M27 - lanes one and two are empty, so get the fuck out of lane three!

Then exit at the next junction, stop, get out of the car, walk away from it, never look back and catch a fucking bus.

There's some absolute weapons driving up and down there every day.

The ones who piss me off the most are those who fly up the 4th lane by Portsdown Hill and then barge in just as it goes back to 3 lanes. Was a big accident coming back home last month because of one of those pricks.

When you query on social media why an artist/comedian/band haven't included a gig in the West Country on their upcoming tour, to which some bright spark replies: "They're doing Bristol".

Bristol.... that'll be the place that's closer to Manchester than many parts of Cornwall, and closer to Birmingham than large swathes of Devon.

West Country, my arse

Kae Tempest formerly known as Kate Tempest.  Can't stand her and her awful affected accent.  They sound like a demented dalek spouting cliche ridden bollocks poetry to crap music.

Didn't recognise the name so Youtube'd it to see what it was all about.  Youtube, if you're reading this, please don't send me more.  It was a mistake.  I meant Kate Middleton,  No, Kate Beckinsale.  She'll do.

I apologise for the distress although I did warn you. I have to turn off the radio when it comes on. It’s a fucking middle class kid pretending to be a poor black kid with a terrible fake accent spouting pretentious gritty poetry that doesn’t even rhyme. Obviously critics loved it and now it’s gone collecting pronouns it’s even worse. 
Yep, other Kates are far far better

The word "presser" when people are talking about a press conference.

People asking if there's going to be a stream for the game. There's always a fucking stream.

Streams that always seem to cut out just as something vaguely exciting is going to happen after you've spent 25 minutes watching a turgid game with a perfect picture.
