    I stopped watching the news ages ago @herbaceous - far too depressing, but I listen to the radio pretty much all day, so I hear the news bulletins there, and see some headlines/items online. That's more than plenty !

    Poo, politics and pyrotechnics. That pretty much sums up my last couple of days :|  I could do without all of them being inflicted on me quite so much.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    The fireworks situation has become completely out of control @wild edges.
    I can't quite believe what happens in some areas. Our news headline with it yesterday. Utterly despicable.  >:)

    The other two you mention - well, they go hand in hand really, don't they? The s**t hit the fan over there four years ago, and it doesn't look like it's any better now, despite the results. Your young children are more grown up than that clown.  :/

    I'm no sport expert, but I understand that playing tennis should not involve getting closer than two metres. In both games you would be in danger of concussion if you got that close.

    Don't you just love karma @pansyface?    
    I hope you went back and pointed and laughed too  :D

    A trivial complaint about stupid instructions:
    I noticed the wrapper on my Crunchie said ,' Do not store in the fridge' or something similar.
    Is there any other way to eat them but straight from the fridge??
    I also saw instructions on a bag of spuds advising me not to reheat them after cooking - are they mad or do they just want me to use more fresh potatoes?

    My OH insists on keeping chocolate in the fridge. To me it completely kills the flavour.

    The spuds people are probably just covering their backs - reheating is fine as long as you do it properly.

    Four old blokes cycling past the house this morning, all huddled together. I felt like shouting “Is it a a menage a trois plus one other?” but then I thought well, if the rule makers can’t remember the rules, what hope for a bunch of old dodderers like them?




    Add to that Boris in his broadcast on Saturday said it was important that we act swiftly and decisively, so the changes will come into effect on Thursday.  For Boris I suppose that is swift and decisive.
