I won't watch cookery/antiques/property/lifestyle/reality/quiz programmes. Nor indeed televised sport. I love my footie but I have to be there. Oh and memo to 5Live, not everybody cares about the travails of ManU. In fact most of us couldn't care less so talk about summat else! Pace any Man Utd fans on here. News and current affairs are riddled with Tory lickspittles. Why am I paying my licence fee? Then there's the press, a festering wart on our so-called democracy. I could go on, in fact I think I am so I'll stop.
Still, the weather's been nice lately and I'm getting my allotment licked into shape for the winter.

All's not lost then?
There's a danger I am turning into a grumpy woman too, my patience runs thin all too often, funnily enough mostly with idiots, people who get excited that the transfer window this season was the most ever.
I rarely watch anything on T.V, fed up of my average intelligence being patronised, the news can go and **** itself. I work in a pub, not for much longer and last night someone decreed ''Where's David Miliband, he was more like us'' I kid you not, I stood there counting to 10, promising to myself I wouldn't bite until I shouted ''In New York, he fucked off in a pout, what a great example'' that's one shut up, another then piped up ''I still don't agree what Ed did though, standing against him'' again a starter for 10, deep breath ''the leadership of the Labour Party wasn't David's divine right, and if he had been elected it would have splintered by now'' ''erm, I am not disagreeing with you but he shouldn't have stood'' at that point I gave up.
In short, there are more idiots than we give credit for.
