Don't ever buy anything on eBay from sellers in the US that use eBay international shipping.
I have a package containing a vinyl album that I bought on the 11th of those month, that's been sat at Glendale Heights in Illinois since the 19th of this month and it's still not moved any further.
I think I'm going to end up claiming my money back, either through lost package or damaged/warped record.
Either way, I don't think this one is going to end well .
Lesson well and truly learned.

The Daily f***ing Mail going after Gary Lineker - again.
Now trying to stir the sh*t regarding a supposed leaked email regarding Lineker leaving MOTD before his current contract is up.
What the f*** is their problem with the guy? I'm pretty certain that if Gary had voted to leave the EU, gone on Tw@tter tearing into foreigners and was constantly applauding Tommy ten names and that frog-faced grifter Faridge, they'd be leaving him well alone.
Absolute sh**bag rag that I can't stand, nor can I stand the pension-age gammon that buy and read it, and who went out and voted to pretty much cripple this country.
f*** the lot of you.

The point, and apologies that I failed to make it properly, being that if you can afford to buy the Mail every day, you don't need the Winter Fuel Allowance.

That's a very fair point, and one that rightly applies to my own folks.
The biggest p***-boiler for me with that is that, despite my best efforts to persuade them otherwise, they still went ahead and voted leave, lauding Faridge to the skies.
Then, when the WFA was pulled, they're sending me petitions to sign to get the government to reverse the decision. Pretty much a case of 'b*ll*cks to your worries, but it's affecting us now, so can you help?'
The decent human being in me signed them, and agreed that it's a poor decision by the government, but I couldn't help thinking 'you've got a f***ing nerve'.
I'm pretty sure they've since regretted their leave vote, but I've never heard them verbally own what they've helped bring about.
They don't really need the WFA, they can get by without it, which I think just makes it more awkward and uncomfortable for me.
Don't get me wrong, they're good people and I love them, but I'll never be able to fathom what's gone wrong with their political thinking and I don't think we'll ever agree on politics again.
Staggering, especially when you consider that my Mum was a lifelong Labour voter, and was even a COHSE shop steward back in the 80s.

F1 stewards, absolute gobshites. Well done to them, doing their best to hand Verstappen the title.
Let the drivers race for f***'s sake. Can't stand that Christian Horner either.

Agreed. Verstappen has used that steering straight and wide technique on so many occasions in the past.
I do think Lando lost that in the first corner though. Perhaps he should have let MV back through as he could have had another good tow and passing opportunity on the last lap.
Felt sorry for Ferrari who had no TV screen time despite blowing the race apart. On to Mexico.

Perhaps he should have let MV back through as he could have had another good tow and passing opportunity on the last lap. Felt sorry for Ferrari who had no TV screen time despite blowing the race apart. On to Mexico. Martin Brundle summed up Lando's one major weakness when he said he lacked aggression on that start. I think that, had Piastri been in Lando's shoes (and car), he'd have kept that lead, you only have to look at that banzai move from Piastri on Lando at Monza. As foolish as it was, it showed perfectly what Lando lacked yesterday. I hope I'm wrong, though, as Norris is a quality driver, a British one we can really get behind too. He just needs to get his elbows out a little more. Maybe McLaren should get Red 5 to have a chat with him! |

Red 5 sadly had a habit of driving the wheels of his car at times. I think Mansell could and should have won 3 championships.
One of my all time favourite though.

You don't become one of the very few drivers to be respected by Senna unless you're the real deal - Nige was the real deal. |

Daytime TV.
How the hell am I supposed to enjoy watching TV on my days off (when I've finished the household stuff that needs doing, of course), when all I'm being told between programs is that one day I'm going to get ill and die and here's a bunch of people that want me to give them money to cover me when that happens, here's a bunch of people that want me to leave them money when I'm gone, and here's another bunch of people that can shove me in a box and get rid of me.
Just f*** off.

Back in telly's golden years, it was more a case of "take the money/open the box"!  |

I've already mentioned this elsewhere, but how the hell did that GTech advert get passed for broadcast at all, let alone before the watershed?
