I read this as the "goths" ruin it and I was very curious what your beef with our dark friends is

I have such an irrational problem with Acaster being known as James Acaster (from the Celebrity Traitors) I think you'll find he's been ours for much longer

"UK's biggest betting site based on revenue" is a crackers thing to have in your adverts. "We take the most money from people, so give us your money as well"

Just popping in to let everyone know we're about 2/3 sold for the premiere of our film this Saturday, which is very exciting! So, if you're on the fence, it might be time to get off the fence and grab a ticket. Or stay on the fence and get one online. Regardless, cannot wait to show you all this!

Hi, yeah, no, no repair needed, it's just, I've been following your van for about 7 miles of traffic now and I think you should be aware that when you added "Conservatory Problems" in a slightly smaller font, you should have used a green bullet point instead of purple... Hello?
The rear of a white or silver van. The van is for a door & window repair service.
On it is a list of 7 bullet points for the type of work they cover. The bullet points are different colours:
Green
Red
Blue
Green
Red
Blue
Purple

There was a clear pattern which repeated 3 colours, however the bottom option "Conservatory Problems" has been added at a later date and has used a new colour of purple for some reason. This text is also about 1pt smaller than the other list items, but I feel I should pick a lane of something to get unreasonably bugged by

When I was young I was picked to plant* a tree. I drove past it the yeaterday and felt a giddy excitement it was growing. People make actual, proper, tangible contributions to this world. It must be crackers to see your name on books, posters, telly. How do you not just point at yourself all day?

You can't watch any sport without being told you're doing it wrong if you're not gambling

If it's not being promoted directly from the bookies, it's from a random or a 'tipster' working off referrals. Every man I know has gone through a betting phase at one point, it's impossible to ignore. Everyone shows signs of trying game the odds and have definitely all been addicted at one point

Americans seeing how predatory sports betting is should be a wake up to us who were born into it On Twitter it was impossible to stop betting ads. You block the big bookies, then the obscure ones, then you get the same bookies just an ad from a 'person' instead. The more you block, the more you get

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

On top of it is a booklet of safety information for after giving blood

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

This place is way too serious. I regularly see something which looks like a joke but I think, hmm, better not interact, just in case. I've deleted a plethora of silliness because of it

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

I know there's no fun wordplay in the croc example, but if we can get the next Elvis to eat some panda jam on stage, we might get somewhere that conservationists haven't been able to for decades

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

I saw them again at the weekend. They really are excellent. High energy, get the crowd going, and don't take themselves too seriously. The place was absolutely packed out for them with red caps everywhere

What I mean to say is, my brain doesn't think I have enough problems and decides to spend my evenings getting infuriated about this, rather than just watching whatever it was I came to YouTube for that I've now completely forgotten

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
