Sugared almonds
Jelly beans . . . just stuff i don't personally like
Fake News this time
North East News talking about gambling addiction,
" . . which one expert says is a social crisis" - here we go 
Later they said,
"It is believed to be increasing in the region"
So they've done zero research and presented no evidence so the whole story is based on hearsay
Neil Peart has died aged 67 after a 3 year battle with cancer.
An intelligent, thoughtful, warm and kind hearted gentleman.
Thank you for years of pleasure - gone way too soon x
Life is Russian Roulette Sainty.
You know it's coming. It's sad.
All of those celebrity chefs jumping on the Vegetarian/Vegan bandwagon.
The latest are the Hairy Bikers pushing lentil bolognese or some such dish.
We are not daft, you are all repositioning given the increased interest in Veg/Vegan diets and the move away from meats. I guess you still need to line your pockets!
And how many more people are going to use the 'trendy' "mental health" tag thus diluting it's real importance to genuine suffers?

Wanting to transfer ownership of property from my mum to me.
Called a solicitor for help cos the paperwork seems quite complex
"That will be ÂĢ300 + VAT" 
Said he charged ÂĢ180p/h
No wonder people break the law when it's the law blatantly ripping you off from the start!!

I have to admit Iâve panicked a bit .....but then I remind myself that statistically the ratio of deaths to cases is quite small ...I hope

Everything legal carries a massive fee for little actual work and maybe not that much expertise. It's a closed shop in a way that is no longer allowed in most industries. Many MPs are drawn from the legal profession so naturally want to protect that closed shop. They're vipers! In around 8 years all this stuff will be done by artificial intelligence. There's going to be a massacre of middle and upper-middle-class jobs.
Purple Bricks now Official Sponsor of Team GB
Now I can fully understand a drinks, sportswear or even a motor company sponsoring Team GB, but an estate agent! What does that mean, Team GB have to use Purple Bricks to move house or rent a property.

On the morning of Dianaâs death Carole malone wrote a scathing article about Diana, full of nastiness and vitriol, she apologised the following Sunday and second editions removed her column (but outside of London we only got the original)
THIS PLACE !!!

A shocking place where you can sit down and enjoy a lovely meal whilst animals are shipped into the rear of the building where there is an abattoir !!

Sadly there are currently no vacancies in that job

The words 'sassy' and 'swagger'
Government to ban "wet wood" and coal burning in domestic appliances.
Meanwhile farmers continue to use red diesel and spray their crops with acid
Rejoice everyone
I've probably got on my soapbox before about this but can I add the overuse of the word "Guru"? My local newspaper described local driving instructors complaining about a new bypass as "driving gurus". Driving instructors are only "gurus" to learner drivers! People who can actually drive, couldn't care less about what they think!
My first (pretty rubbish) driving instructor used to puff on a ***** cigar while instructing me. Second-hand smoke cancer guru, maybe but "driving guru", Nah!

There being an 'app' for everything! I want to do something that will be a 0.02% influence on my life like Tesco Club Card Points or Ring security. Ok, I get that these things provide a helpful service but back in bygone days, if you knew how to use Windows, Word and Excel then you were "IT literate", now you have to navigate yourself around endless narrow purpose badly designed apps and their settings which may or may not provide the outcome you want.
When people start a sentence saying.
"Question ... can we ..."
Why do that?
When you say something do you begin by saying,
"Sentence ..."

Our increasingly hysterical society - everything is a drama and a crisis
It's breeding a culture of fear and distrust - in other words ... subtle control.
Constant soundbite reporting even in the BBC - making claims, increasingly not backed up with any facts.
I blame East Enders - we seem to need to live a crisis lifestyle to say we're interesting. Everything needs to be a drama
ITV North East news hit an all time low last night
Obvious there was nothing to report
They gave us several minutes of "beautiful sights" in our region
It was desperate stuff
Almost all the over 70's where i live have ventured out in their cars or walking despite medical advice to stay at home.
Our next door neighbour was chatting to another 80+ neighbour in the street,
"There saying over 70's should isolate"
Our neighbour,
"Well i'm the main driver (she's not the only driver in her house) and it only refers to people at risk"
She has diabetes and her husband has COPD and is literally at deaths door.
Beggars belief

Question ... Have you seen the Colgate toothpaste advert recently?
Well, they described one of it's properties as providing 360° protection !!!
What the hell does that mean? A tooth is not a round ball hovering above the gum line.
Someone needs to call them out on this publically.
The hard sell by every online company you've done business with over the years via email. It's relentless.
Mind you, Allbeauty have some sale on if you want to smell good.
The number of adverts with animals in ...
While I love animals, my dog thinks they are intruders in her domain and has to tell them off, she has learnt the music in the adverts and barks before they come on now
