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.

    • The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.
    • She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck
    • Two for Ratcliffe, the obvious one:   And one simply because it has the word  "You are nothing but blind fascists" in it.  Oh and a good song too.   Haven't listened to this for years.  Bloody good!
    • It's time to ditch your team, otherwise you could be seen to supporting your owners dog whistle comments (aka racist). Fortunately you can support a local team, I understand that Palace have pretty right on fans, and you have Dulwich Hamlet and Peckham Town too. If you genuinely are from the North West then Everton fans are well rated for their politics (ignore the paving over paradise/loss of UNESCO world heritage status), and of course FC United of Manchester. Salford Town not a bad bet either. For those who are glory hunters dare I say over the river in the North London library aka Emirates (shame they don't rhyme) you have both the likelihood of a title this season and a very multicultural fan base. If you want to be really cool the Welsh speaking team Club Cymric, Forest Green Rovers, or AS Livorno in Italy, an anti-fascist team
