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.

    • Maurice fixed a blocked pipe in our bathroom, was communicative and reliable during the enquiry process, personable and professional during the fix and reasonable in his pricing. Would recommend.
    • Dishing the dirt is generally fine when it comes to politicians and in Farage's case he often deserves it but  nothing illegal  has been done. It is not illegal for him to give his partner a sizeable amount of money with which to buy a house and have it registered in her name. He is 64 years old and his partner is 16 years younger and so he most likely is making plans to minimise IHT. There is a sliding scale for IHT but basically a gift is free of IHT if the gift is made 7 years before the donor dies. Farage is 64 years old and his partner is 16 years younger. In 7 years time, if he lives that long, he will be 71 years old. Given that he smokes like a chimney and drinks like a fish, his odds on getting beyond 71  years may be pretty slim.  A similar  process is followed by the "bank of mum and dad"  where parents  give money to their kids to fund purchase of a property. Many who are not cash rich will mortgage their home and so release equity to fund their kids property. We did it as have many of our friends.
