All those idiots who apparently gave Ant a round of applause during the last episode of their show. What about the poor sods who he nearly wiped out ???
agreed. Reminds me of the Michael Jackson fans who still argue he wasn't a peado just because they love his back catalogue.

shirts with pockets that no one ever uses
'no one' that's a broad sweeping statement! 
I've put things in shirt pockets and a double pocket shirt is aesthetically balancing and appealing.
Well, the 3.5-inch floppy disk was famously designed to fit in your shirt pocket.
Bit of an anachronism now, of course. A mate of mine had left an old one of them lying around, and when his daughter saw it she exclaimed: "Ooh: you've got a Save button!"

Kinda proves my shirt pocket theory - I see them empty, never full
Like pockets in children's clothes - utterly pointless
People who look rather pleased with themselves whilst everyone else rolls their eyes.
People playing the banjo is a perfect example - they always look so cheery - everyone else tends to want the clatter to stop.
Frank Skinner at the Queen's birthday celebrations was utterly painful. So pleased as punch - so woefully awful
So glad I am out of care work and hope never to return.
Called District Nurse and asked if we could visit for some medical needs as the building was so big. (surely they have space to accommodate a visit)
Was told no - I said I was surprised as they didn't have their own rooms
"What do you mean by that?" came the CLASSIC REPLY
"Well cos the Walk-in Centre was is so big"
"We are community based so don't have rooms"
AND THEN . . .
"Who am I talking to?"
Yep that culture of trying to point a finger and apportion some type of blame is still there and will never go away.
So glad i'm well out of care work
Don't believe it Velvy
Our District Nurses run their practice to their drum - it's not patient led
Turn up at our door unannounced and uninvited for stuff we know nothing about!!
Ford just called engines, "Dirty old diesels"
The same engines they told us were the answer to carbon emissions not a decade ago.
We aint gotta clue what we're doing, if we're honest

CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW
The utter rubbish reasons given to justify a garden, I heard,
"This garden represents abuse survivors and their journey towards recovery"

Since Yorkshire first hosted the Tour De France (very successfully) The Tour De Yorkshire has been a regular fixture on the calendar. It's well supported, got more people into cycling and is seen by viewers in the UK, can't say I know if it's taken up internationally. But a great event covering different parts of Yorkshire each year. Nothing fake about it.

That it's 'showing the world' is simply not true - it's sweeping as much as it is impossible
And what does he mean? "What it's made of" - vague and grasping at straws
LOL some sunshine and they've started talking about serious water shortage possibly in the next 30yrs affecting water supplies and what plants we may want to choose!!
It forgets to say that we are one of the wettest countries in Europe - leaks and poor investment in our water management being the main cause of our problems - they forgot to mention that too
NEWSFLASH !!!!

There's an HIV Garden!!
No one - I mean - no one will be seeing and interpreting a bunch of gladioli as the struggle for acceptance for those suffering from HIV
This illness does not need a flower garden to help promote acceptance
HIV has been given more education, promotion and funding than almost any recent epidemic I can remember
Stop being silly

WILL YOUNG - shame on you
Will Young slapped with six-month driving ban after 'almost killing driver' before crashing into car at 'excessive speed'
Young pleaded guilty in March at Selkirk Sheriff Court to driving without due care as well as at excessive speed for the weather conditions and for entering a lay-by, before appearing at the Jedburgh court for sentencing on Monday.
Sheriff J Euan Edment imposed five penalty points for the incident and banned him from driving for six months.
Young already had 11 points on his licence as well as a drink-driving conviction from 1998.
A disqualification comes if 12 or more penalty points are built up within three years.
