Interviewers!
Perhaps they have to do it and wouldn't by choice . . .
1 Interviewing children - there's almost nothing a child can say that's insightful, "Did you like the fun fair" "Yeah" "Why?" "It was good" 
2 Interviewing athletes who are out of breath, "Tell us about the race"
3 Interviewing football fans, "And we've got Sandra from Doncaster who works part time in B&Q ... how do you think England can overcome Italy on Sunday?"
4 Interviewing the idiot electorate, "Who are you voting for?" "Not that Jeremy Corbyn" "Why?" = stunned silence cos not one of them has bothered to read a manifesto - ever, but they get a prime time interview none the less.
5 Interviewing celebrities on serious topics - as if their fragile and temporary time in the limelight makes their opinion more worthy.

Not bad bro. A solid 8.
You could go mental if you thought about it 
People talking to me when i'm on the phone 
Received my AA car insurance renewal with a number to call for "Customer enquiries". After waiting 12mins I was told it was the wrong number (supplied by themselves by-the-way) and I needed the "warranty" number.
Minutes later this was the conversation,
"What seems to be the problems with the policy?"
"It's ÂĢ25 more than last year"
"Well, that doesn't seem to be much"
Well it is to me!! Maybe not to the million pound AA leviathan it aint - bloody capitalist!!!
Anyhoo I suddenly saved ÂĢ28 when i said I wanted to cancel (small guy wins small and insignificant battle ... of sorts)
Just called our GP (at their request) ... no i won't tell you why !!
Waited 13mins in the queue ... and then got cut off !!!!
There's Johnson at PMQ'S. Hair all over the place. Vanity eh? What a clown. He might as well paint his face and get it on an egg.

Johnson is a dangerous buffoon ..
Over use of the word "excited" - it's everywhere - how can so many people be excited?
Just watched Formula E - what a load of rubbish - it's like watching a bunch of washing machines on spin cycle.
There's no sense of danger or drama. The track looks amateur at best, some areas look like it's in an underground car park, far too many turns (to reduce speed i'm sure ... for safety), track is too narrow, probably due to location (or lack of choice of location) - in short this could be ASDA car park. Every time there's an attempt at an over take there's a collision and the car falls apart. There doesn't seem to be a need for run-off areas cos there's barely a chance to build a high enough speed.
It all reminds me of go-karting - let's hope this aint the future
We get our milk delivered at 1.30am every Wed morning - it's just been delivered!!
BBC and other news broadcasters constantly telling us how COVID had impacted 'business'
No reports on the impact on hospitals anymore.

Give it another couple of weeks, until *freedom day * kicks in âĶ.and cases and hospitalisations risen Renton, and I guarantee they will be concentrating on them again 
Bill arrived from Eon Next,
"So why is my metre reading less than my bill?"
"Oh just ignore the smart metre it's just an estimate of the real bill"

We had an opportunity of lifetime Tokyo synchronized diving was the goal, but when your partner turns up for the first training session with arm bands and a rubber duck ring around her waist you just know she's not got her heart and soul into it. Second training session Baz sat on the side of the pool and flopped in, I had done two somersaults and three twist, just how she thought she was going to fit in my complicated dive in 18 inches of clear air ...Sadly, I have to nominate Baz for room 101

No...it was only BBC iplayer, all others are still there.......apparently it is unlikely to be able to get back apps that vanish and there is pressure being put on manufacturers to stop this from happening...
Ultimately the tv is going into our spare bedroom to be used for watching netflix and for gaming etc, by my son's mini me.
I've brought a new tv ....bigger too

Oddly enough I got a letter at the weekend saying my smart meter wasnât working and would I read it and send the result backâĶ..I had noticed that my last bill was an estimate and thought it was way over what I thought it would be and hadnât got around to contacting the supplier for the usual *what do you think youâre playing at call*âĶ.which always ends in a reduction of the estimateâĶ..so Iâm waiting to see how this turns outðŽðŽ

So - our gas fire was smelling a bit odd and with COVID we decided to use our electric heater over the winter.
That was a big mistake - we were getting estimated bills after our energy supplier changed and then we got an updated bill of ÂĢ430 for the winter period.
Our last bill for the month was ÂĢ40 - a bit of a difference

Can you not provide an on line reading direct from your metre?
