I sometimes think the Aussie stereotype gets unfairly and lazily mocked. Then they go to the world cup and have a keeper called Beach

There's an incredible number of new TV shows being released across all platforms, every week. Yet the BBC can only muster up pitches for one single new show that might interest me, but it must be made for £20 + a kit kat, make half the series in a day, and have Jimmy Carr as the host

Normally get some biscuits, but to get some Metallica merch for giving blood is a very nice present

Big respect to bands who play the millennial bangers in the middle of their sets because yes, I do have to dip at the encore, I've got a train to catch

Remember when the IKEA advert had the correct, current time on a clock in the advert. I think that's the level of self aware media technology I'd like to go back to

"join the army, you get to play netball" is like saying,"do you want to listen to podcasts? Become someone's personal toilet"

Renewing my car insurance and Hastings will give me £60 off for their 'app policy' and for me to let them track me for 30 days. Not a black box, just phone location data. I'm not really bothered about this, or what they do with it, but I am curious. That's quite a relative value to put on such data

If someone made an app to say when I can open my windows again after shutting the sun out all day, I'd be all for it. Now, now is the time

When I was a kid pc gaming people would say in the chat things like "Alt + F4 gives you free goodness" then you'd see a wave of people disconnect. A funny way to learn these sorts of things. Kids these days won't ever get the same level of internet nonsense life lessons

Respect to TLC completely giving up on typical broadcasting and just chucking absolutely everything on their YouTube in full. Mock the week, zero stars, the way out, unacceptable. Would never have thought TLC would be the place for new comedy

There was a place in Australia which did just this. They had to ban crocodile hunting as they were going extinct, with limited success, cus y'know, humans. It wasn't until they made the crocs a commodity and encouraged the skin trade for belts, etc that breeding and farming brought the numbers back

Something really irks me when I see a video "...live from Glastonbury" ...live Like, it's not live is it? It *was* live, sure, but so was every single thing recorded. Now streams that are actually live have to be "live now". But then you can get a program "live now" showing footage from the past

I'd always assumed there were some names vetoed out of a TM lineup, for whatever reason. But now it almost seems inevitable that we'll get Carr sooner or later instead of *insanely long list of excellent new comedians*

"half pints are available upon request" Not to get pedantic at this bar, but you'd struggle to sell any of your range without some form of request. Half pints would be the least of your worries

First drinks break in the first England game of world cup week and the commentators have already resorted to describing the players going for a coffee at "facinating"

Whenever my mum has to share a PIN with trusted family in absolutely privacy, she still doesn't like to say the numbers out loud. Instead it's "the bottom one, two above it, top left, one down" I love the idea that this impenetrable code has thwarted master criminals from opening her shed padlock

"I just need to confirm your address for security, is it *my exact address*?" ... Yes. I had to think for way longer than I should have while I tried to work out where the security check was? Was it actually my address or something similar to trick me? Yup, just zero form of security whatsoever

There's nothing more contradictory to me at the moment as these lotto adverts with "real past winners" It could be you, you could have all this money, but still be so unfulfilled you need to appear in a lotto ad

Sure, your modern car might have modern features like airbags or something. But you'll never know the joy of spending a whole journey down the M5 waiting for the mileage to tick over the 6 to 123456

I think having English teams in a European final is a good thing as much as the next guy but I don't think anyone has considered that the rest of us have to put up with just how unashamed Villa fans have become for today

When I was young another child's dad was trying to get them to leave the playground saying he could see the rain 'over there', it was getting closer. Part of me still thinks this wasn't just bullshit to get them to leave and I'll regularly look in the distance to try to see what he saw that day

So glad I'm not at 'proper job' plc anymore. Last year for mental health week, one of the initiatives was to "increase autonomy" which included 'allowing' us to eat at our desks. Because nothing improves mental health like the MD's PA giving you daggers for daring to have a ready meal in peace

A local scuba diving school is advertising targeting anyone: Going away on holiday this year? Or been on holiday? I somewhat admire their determination of targeting almost everyone, including those who might want to learn the skill to go back in time for it to be useful
