Bridgford Ram

I got a number of games for Christmas, 
 
Watchdogs 2
Far Cry 4
Mad Max
The Witcher

"2016 is terrible because so many celebrities have passed away."
No. The advent of television, film, and mass media in general in the early to mid part of the 20th century simply means there are more old famous people than ever before. Celebrities and public figures will continue to die at a similar rate in the future because time doesn't care if you've been on the telly or not.

People that do not understand that Asda, Sainsbury's, Tesco et al, are only closed for one day...

On the subject of toilets, people who can't aim really annoy me.  Twice I have used a cubicle at work this week (they have got rid of the urinals now) we what I can only assume is pee on the floor.  Now I ain't cleaning it up but on both occasions someone was waiting for the cubicle as I left it.  Obviously they will be thinking I left the puddle.

Stupid signs on public toilets, particularly in bars.
Just put men/women, not an artfully drawn representation of the sexes which means the square root of fook all to someone bostin for a piss.
It's not the Krypton Factor, if I have to sign that register again because of it I'll swing for someone.

Similar to this but this years Christmas Radio Times started on 17/12 and ends on 30/12.  Doesn't even reach new year!

That bothers me as well.  If East Midlands today can't see a news item out of the window of their studios they just take the approach of creating a Nottingham link to an international new story.
'The plane that crashed in [insert far away country] once flew over Nottingham.'
'Man who committed [insert heinous crime] in [insert far away country] once watched Robin of Sherwood on the TV.
Are probable examples of this.

I agree, EE collared me twice in Argos yesterday and the AA do it a lot at supermarkets.  These are massive brands but I think the approach leaves them looking amateurish and desperate.

Documentaries - and Channel 4 are bad for this - that repeatedly show the same clips, especially after a break.  We are not stupid and now days when people fast forward through the adverts its not like we are going to forget what was said 10 seconds ago.

Cold yes, dark no.  I love to run the country lanes near me but this time a year I have to stick to the same street routes.  Can't wait til it's light at 6am again...

If you saw my doctor you'd see her about anything you could :-)
I mixed it up a bit today and did some sprints rather than just distance.  Hopefully next week I'll be able to start cycling to work again (they have been refurbing the showers at work) so I can get back to running 10k a day (I am only doing 5k at the moment).

Have you thought about seeing a doctor about this Bridgford?

Mince pies.

I've just watched an old episode of the Mr Men. That bought back some memories.

My mum!
Despite having had many difficulties in her life including a disability from birth that doctors told my grandparents would mean she'd never live past her 7th birthday and then she'd never walk unaided and then she wouldn't be able to have children, she remains the most positive, generous and cheerful person I know.
If I'm feeling a little low, a quick chat with mum soon lifts my mood.

That 30 mins is important for us City folk.. You have to remember the north is largely unexplored and canabilism is still popular in Lancashire.. Us Londerners move at a quicker pace..

Exactly my thinking. Seems totally illogical to me, money would be better spent ensuring everyone in the country has decent internet connectivity. Job interviews, music lessons and so are already being done on Skype or the like so why spend billions saving 30 mins. All bollaeux to me.

I'm not convinced on this HS2 malarky. The thing wont be up and running for decades, by which time video conferencing, data transfer and the like will have progressed to such a degree, 'businessmen' wont need to shave a few minutes off a train journey, they just won't need to travel at all.

Charities.
If it weren't for them then many people would be suffering and the Government wouldn't be able to get away with murder.
So many good people out there doing all they can to help others.

Its good that things like the new England manager are still raisin her interest.

Customer service lines belonging to major companies that cost you money to call them. 
The basic outline being  ....We aren't doing a good job relative to something we promised to do for an agreed sum. 
So to resolve this, you need to pay us to sort it and that payment is open ended while we keep you on hold. 
And the PS to this is companies that strive to keep themselves distant from their customers via FAQ's / no reply emails / incomplete contact info. 
The aim is a "no people" interaction service which forgets completely that customers are people. Sad
