Ray Winstone in a movie, I can just about cope with


But Ray Winstone fronting a fekkin gambling/gaming/betting ad is too much. I've now taken to spitting out "w4nker" every time his fat head comes on TV. I'm sure my kids think that's his name

My bile for Winstone has increased somewhat


I'm sure he's why during my latest sleepwalk, I fell down a few stairs hitting the turned corner-post of my banister last night. I only cracked a couple of ribs, but OMFG it is painfull


It only hurts when I cough/laugh/call Ray a "W4NKER"

Amnesty's advertising. I think the worst example was "come and sign our petition protesting against the kidnapping of the Nigerian schoolgirls". It's entirely pointless (who did they send it to?) and just their way of increasing their 'people to hassle for money' database.


Though I suppose 'irrational rage' is overstating it. More a grumpy 'hurumph'.

I did have a call once from one bunch of ambulance chasers, though this was a real person rather than a machine. The spiel started with "We believe someone in your household has had an accident in the past two years..." to which I shrieked down the phone "AN ACCIDENT?? WHO?? WHAT HAPPENED?? IS IT MY WIFE?? IS SHE ALRIGHT?? OH GOD HAS SOMEONE CALLED AN AMBULANCE?? TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED!!!"


She mumbled some sort of apology and hung up.

I hate that if you're generous enough to donate these days, you're basically signing up for a load of guilt trip phone calls. I got stopped in the street by a chugger a while back and ended up donating a fiver by text to the WWF. A couple of weeks later I was being made to feel like a right bastard who was more or less single handedly responsible for the deaths of the poor tigers because I wouldn't sign up to a monthly payment.

    • Nadia did a great job tidying up my very very overgrown yard. (See the before and after photos). I live in New Zealand and my tenants said a neighbour has been complaining about the out of control ivy. Nadia was easy to contact so over WhatsApp, managed to liaise between me and my tenants. Her quote was reasonable for the amount of work that needed doing, and the end result is great! She sent photos throughout so I could track progress. Would highly recommend her to others. 
    • My car was stolen a few months back from my driveway but I had a tracker and found it in a private car park in Lavender Hill close to the police station. I was lucky. The thieves hide it up against that eventuality. High spec cars are targeted I'm afraid. The way it was stolen required the thieves to wire in their own computer accessing a front light (which had had a metal sheet welded across which they prised off). They had searched for a tracker but not found it. They also had to cut away a steering wheel lock. They had to come well tooled up and briefed to do what they did. Beating them off is non trivial. As I said, them not finding my tracker was just lucky.
