Just drifting off to sleep last night when some idiot decided to start letting off fireworks. My thoughts were murderous, but luckily l fell asleep in the end. Grr.
My other pet hate, are what purport to be factual programmes on commercial TV. They go like this. In part 1 we will tell you a,b,c, later we talk about g,h& I. You get a tiny bit of programme, then on to a commercial break. Next : we told you about ABC, now we are doing def, later we will get into ghi. I think you will get the idea, 1 hour programme, with all of 20 minutes of content, the rest is padding. What's worse is, I still fall for them in the vain hope that there will be something interesting . Even recording them and fast forwarding through the drivel only helps a bit.
I record everything I watch and fast forward through the adverts, waffle and filler. (I don't watch the news, radio 4 tells me all I need to know). Saves a lot of time and quite often I start watching something and either find that it's boring, unintelligible or a repeat so can be deleted without further ado.
Offer the health workers a ridiculously low pay rise and then give in and double it to a still ridiculously low pay rise. The press will laud it as a victory for the heroes and everyone will be happy. Particularly the weasel. I thought he'd resigned or been sacked or something but apparently he was still deserving of a pay rise which might well be 1%. Who knows? It all depends on what you get 1% of.
When so many have lost their jobs and no other public workers will get any increase, I think it is reasonable. Starter nurses did get 12% over 3 or 4 years quite recently.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

I was going to ask how she didn't notice in the evening when she took them off. I realised the answer - teenager!
