SPECSAVERS are great (well they have been great to me)
Now I have some old glasses I needed repairing ASAP as I can't wear my contacts at the moment.
The arms were broken and needed replacing
"Oh we can do that free of charge"
WOW
Fifteen minutes later - hey presto
"I know you're in a hurry so this is the best we can do"
PINK ARMS - PINK !!!!
"I'll just call myself Deidre shall I?"

Why not just buy 12 second....they're all the same these days 
I've tested it. Posted two letters to myself, one with first, one with second, both got there the next day. After someone mentioned it at work.
The hero worship of inane 'celebrities'
I don't care if Oasis reform - is this the best thing to talk about?
It's reported over and over.
Why would I want to buy anything by Sheridan Smith?
She's been interviewed on telly recently as if she's important.
I could go on . . .
Wait for it .... Jamie Oliver has shared photos of his house
"Fans have gone into a frenzy" Have they - really? Have you? Thought not 
How do people go into a 'frenzy' is beyond me
I couldn't give a monkeys ....

Yes, I agree. Especially the pseudo celebrities like those vacuous examples in the utterly shite TOWIE and MIC. It's the worst kind of inane ITV sub channels thrive on.
Tits.
I've been trying to photograph some great tits and blue tits in my garden area and they are too quick for me.

Aaah EC you've made a mistake, especially for TOWIE.
They're gawped at for being a laughing stock
When's the last time you saw Joey Essex on TV (outside TOWIE) ?
I'm talking about very average people being made part of our lives by being on telly or reported about over and over like they have some sort of importance/ relevance in modern day culture.
Liam Gallagher is not 'where it's at'

. . . it's a vicious rumour
A sample of a recent chat with a work colleague . . .
Me : "So i'm full time carer for my parents, i'm earning as much doing that as I did working full time with you. Can't complain."
Work colleague : "That's nice . I had to return to work when the little one was 4months old - y'know money and bills."
Yes you did and quite rightly too. No one made you have kids, it's an expensive choice. Don't bemoan having to actually pay for your kids upbringing. What's the alternative? That the rest if us should while you stay at home?
How's about I buy a Ferrari? Then complain I have to earn money to run it.
Glitter EVERYWHERE !!!!
Oh so the NHS are asking people only to call 999 if it's absolutely necessary or a "real emergency".
How do I know if it's a real emergency?
Am I a trained doctor??
Or are you asking me to 'err on the side of putting myself at risk' ???
People who say things like "Megan and Harry will make a lovely couple", "Megan and Harry are made for each other"....
We don't know this couple, we have no idea about their private lives or their temperament outside of the public gaze.
This marriage could end in comete meltdown for all we know. !!! Grrrr.
Russia interfered with and influenced the outcome of the last American Presidential Election.
Infamy !!!!!!
Barrack Obama did exactly the same with our democratic decision to vote on Brexit,
'the UK will find itself "at the back of the queue" for a trade deals with the US if they vote against staying in the European Union'
The Government ask us to 'trust' them with the economy
MP's barely trust each other
BORIS JOHNSON in Russia,
"Britain speaks out in support of LGBT people in Chechnya."
I've heard it all now !!
Maybe we should support lesbian Muslims in Sub-Saharan Africa??!!!!

Women only public bathing now wanting to be used by men causes outrage,
âCan men not allow women to have any private space?â
Well .... men wanted 'space' within their 'Working men's pubs' but that was quickly denied.
Bit hypocritical

I've said it before and I'll say it again........people who choose to stop in a shop doorway to sort their bags out/put their money away in their purse/wallet 
Oh, and people who dawdle through the streets/shops not knowing what they want and I'm behind them!!

Michael McIntyres. He's so sh*t beyond belief. How he gets a prime spot on a Saturday night is beyond me. I'm going to continue my crusade to make the world hate him.
I donât like him either , so count me in
I already hate him, so I'm in too.
Fireworks at the drop of a hat and that then go on forever. Last night Edinburgh's went on for 8 minutes! We were all bored to tears by about 45 seconds in.
What a shocking waste of money, literally thousands of pounds up in smoke!

I love them - it's mesmerising
I love Nov 5th better than Xmas!!
Eventually they'll be banned as the snowflake generation say the money could've been spent promoting gender fluidity.
I love watching vlogs on You Tube
One was about Cambridge University - this time a meeting about women's rights. The commentator said,
"All women are welcome to attend and take part - including all those who identify as a woman."
I like to identify as a woman on Thursday afternoons between 2.15 and 3.43pm

Anyone had an invasion yet?
I'm talking about insect invasion. Giant hornets from Africa ... and not forgetting the billions of crane flies coming your way.
No?
