You could've stopped at Robert Wyatt, Alf. That's enough for anybody, surely?

 

Quite liked what little I've heard of his stuff, but a bit quiet and subtle for me. Wouldn't have to go beyond Topper and his reportedly massive contribution to the Sandinista album.

Tell me about it. I spend a lot of time working in Switzerland and the letters and symbols are all over the place on the keyboards! The amount of time I lock myself out of my PC....

Also as an extension of this when you're searching on the TV for something on say Netflix and the search is in alpha numeric order. Just not intuitive at all.

 

The ultimate in first world problems!

Definitely this.

 

There are so many adverts that result in a mad scramble for the mute button in my house.  That one is near the top of my list but the winner for me is that horrendous holiday ad where that simpering woman sings 'Ain't Nobody Loves Me Better' so soullessly and insipidly.

 

There also seems to be a bit of a trend for having songs sung by people who are clearly not singers.  Yes, you Gala Bingo!  Perhaps they are just trying to use ordinary people to be more relateable but it's like fingernails down a blackboard for me.

 

Oh and the Barclays woman on the bus.  Weird side pocket  ...grrr.

 

Quite like the Flash dog though.  More singing dogs, that's the answer.

Fair enough but I think everyone has the same question for you on their mind.

 

'Are you gonna Bingo?'

That's a different one.  Sun Bingo I think, but, yeah, that one hurts my soul a little also.

 

Gala bingo one went 'Ga-la- la-la...' to the tune of that Bananarama song and sung by lots of different people, none of whom can actually sing.

They all roll up into the same horseshit bingo adverts

Oh, god. That advert gets its wretched claw through my ears to my soul every time. I can't bear it, and it seems like it's been on for years now. Is it the worst one since the godawful sofa shop one with blithering idiots playing air guitar to Nickelback's 'Rockstar'? That was sent here directly from the depths of hell.

I wasn't too bothered by the TUI one until I rediscovered the original song and was reminded what a top tune it is, and as usual they've stripped away nearly everything that makes it what it is.

Thanks. I hadn't seen that. Everything Matt Berry touches is gold. Even ads.

Nail Polish remover.

 

Cant stand the stuff. The wife, mother in law and now my 12 year old daughter use nail polish and the remover makes the house reek. Gives me a headache whenever I catch a whiff.

Buy them some acetone free remover. It will smell nicer and it's better for their skin ?

Come on, mate. Mike Ashley has to earn the ackers to fund his House of Fraser and HMW takeovers somehow.

Not to mention his drinking binges and a few big January signings to please Rafa Benitez. Be reasonable.
