The supermarket delivery driver who moans and groans about how difficult it was to find your house despite the previous 38 drivers having no trouble at all in finding it. Twat.

I'm trying to think which of this week's no-marks you're referring to. Linda Robson perhaps? Not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer is she.

Not quite Patsy Kensit levels (no one has ever been less interested in taking part, despite of course being paid to be there) but still dreadful.

It must be some seriously loud chat if it drowns a live band out.

Was at the Wedgewood Rooms last night where massive hype band Wet Leg were playing. The support were Honeyglaze who are very good but have reasonably quiet parts to some of their songs. 

To be honest I probably would have sold my tickets if it wasn't for them being announced as support because I bought them in October when Wet Leg had barely done anything, and when they subsequently did it mostly turned out to be moderately average at best.

You could hear loud chatter all the way through Honeyglaze. It's just inconsiderate, moronic behaviour.

Good. We all know what's going on, and Ukraine can be covered without dominating day in day out. That said, I'm not sure who has any interest in what Corden is up to.

Looking to move house, probably downsize.  Open to getting an apartment, but getting annoyed when the listing online does not advertise the lease remaining and/or any annual service charges.

Worse than in goals 'in nets' the Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrelisation of football.

Them instead of those, even the most eloquent footballers say 'them players'.

I think Dave Jones referred to Saints as "this football club" for the entire time he was here. So a long standing but still annoying cliche.

Presenting the victor of a tournament as "Your Winner", the top 3 as "Your Podium", the participants as "Your Players", the official as "Your Referee". They are not "mine", when did "Your" replace "The" in the English language ?
