Seems a bit intolerant.

Not to mention that it broke the rules of the games as well.

Average speed check - the most boring way to drive!

We used to say 'rude' (which it was intended to be ? I have irrational rage), but 'intolerant' is the sin du jour, I suppose.

Does your irrational rage extend to calling someone a Twat to their face, or is it just limited to being behind a keyboard/touchscreen?...

Music-related vowel omissions ? eg HMLTD, We Are FSTVL etc. Look, just put the vowels back and don't be so silly... TWTS

'Seems' = my perception. From memory it was a quiet day for me though.

How sensationalist the BBC News has become.

Man inappropriately touches woman's knee 15 years ago, he said sorry, she says she ain't bothered.

BBC front page news says "Michael Fallon 'apologised for touching journalist's knee'"

That's not news. It's an old, miniscule incident that's trying to be used to stir up more stuff to make yet more shit news.

Note to self: Stop reading the news you moron, it's irrelevant rubbish! Go re-read the chapter on Why you shouldn't read the news in that book The Art of Thinking Clearly.

If the BBC has over-reacted, then I can only imagine that the Guardian is probably calling for his goolies to be cut off.

...and meanwhile thieves continue to nick mopeds and anything else they fancy, confident that 'thou shalt not steal' is now advisory rather than a commandment and the law.

10.30pm: put on clean nightdress and get into freshly changed bed complete with normal-weight duvet instead of thin summer one. Open Agatha Christie.

10.32pm: hot flush. Get out of bed, drink cold water, visit bathroom.

Repeat.

Thanks. This is the perfect thread for women of a certain age.

There's a certain type of song that has become really popular in advertising that I call the John Lewis cover song.

It's generally a young lady singing a slow soft ethereal cover version.

Current examples are "Stand by Me" in a Nescafe ad. "Send in the Clowns" in a car ad and "Ready or Not" in a Green and Blacks ad.

I am usually subjected to this at least twice when I visit the cinema.

Hushabye Mountain is the Audi advert I think.
