Well one's a Bullfighter so she's influencing us to stab cows. 
Doubt Farmer Giles will be happy
And another is a former prostitute turned mainstream actress which erm ... influences people to be tarts with hearts ... or something

Prolly something you shouldn't be doing though to be honest 
I could also say the government too but. Apparently I'm gonna need a passport if I need to go into hospital to have an op. I don't travel and I don't drive even though I've been a British citizen all my life 
Me thinks it's proof of right to access the service, no?
Any ID should do it - NI nos.
. . . and why shouldn't non-nationals pay?
We pay when we're abroad
This is more annoyance at ME.
ME because I just can't quite understand an advert. Jeremy Clarkson is advertising an Amazon Firestick or some such TV streaming type product standing on the white cliffs of Dover (I presume). Now the end of the advert is Clarkson using a set of drones to send these firesticks to France and German (European Cousins) etc, which he does with a smile on his face.
Now what I don't understand is why he has a cheeky grin on his face when he is sending them a free device ?!?!?!
Pasha Kovalev - On the programme Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two he was about to take a pro's challenge where they have to perform a dance step as quickly as possible in a given time.
Just before his attempt he described it as a 'Once in a Lifetime Opportunity'. 
It's not! If he wanted he could arrange to do it again and break the record. But it's the phrase that annoys me more - it's often used in circumstances which are not once in a lifetime.
When I hear something but don't know if it's true or not.
On QI one of the panel members said never use the kettles in hotel rooms as other people pee in them. 
As it happens I don't, but now I never will.
Wuss!

I have been with them for ages and I have had great service. They even lower the cost of my package every 18 months when I ask them. What's the problem you are having Syd?
Never mind about Virgin Media . . . . J'adore, ok
That stuff had better be bloody amazing cos it's all I ever see on the telly adverts for years now.
It had better be almost elixir of the Gods or something cos they bang on like its a cure for something it's soooo wonderful.
Oh it's a smelly

GAP - bought a jumper in small for my Dad
He's only 8st
It was w-a-y- too small !!!
Who on earth is deciding these measurements??
Recently I placed two orders with a company in the US of A.
Both packages have been in transit, one of them although saying delivered on the tracker has not been delivered, but today I have received an import duty for ÂĢ25.11
The second parcel which is stuck in London I fear may be victim to another import duty.
Well I have been lucky for many years and many parcels so I guess it's my time to stump up a lot of cash.
Probably due to Xmas, checks are higher - another reason to hate Xmas!
What have you bought?

I have purchased about ÂĢ180 worth of soundtracks.

I suppose it depends on what the surname is. If it's 'Button' then going through life as Barry Button is probably not a good thing.

STARS AND THEIR CARS
Paddy McGuinness talks to Ross Noble about car collection.
Money for old rope, old boys network in overdrive for the minions to lap up cos they never had it so good as two below average blokes talking like they're down the pub on a Sunday afternoon.
