Ray Winstone in a movie, I can just about cope with


But Ray Winstone fronting a fekkin gambling/gaming/betting ad is too much. I've now taken to spitting out "w4nker" every time his fat head comes on TV. I'm sure my kids think that's his name

My bile for Winstone has increased somewhat


I'm sure he's why during my latest sleepwalk, I fell down a few stairs hitting the turned corner-post of my banister last night. I only cracked a couple of ribs, but OMFG it is painfull


It only hurts when I cough/laugh/call Ray a "W4NKER"

Amnesty's advertising. I think the worst example was "come and sign our petition protesting against the kidnapping of the Nigerian schoolgirls". It's entirely pointless (who did they send it to?) and just their way of increasing their 'people to hassle for money' database.


Though I suppose 'irrational rage' is overstating it. More a grumpy 'hurumph'.

I did have a call once from one bunch of ambulance chasers, though this was a real person rather than a machine. The spiel started with "We believe someone in your household has had an accident in the past two years..." to which I shrieked down the phone "AN ACCIDENT?? WHO?? WHAT HAPPENED?? IS IT MY WIFE?? IS SHE ALRIGHT?? OH GOD HAS SOMEONE CALLED AN AMBULANCE?? TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED!!!"


She mumbled some sort of apology and hung up.

I hate that if you're generous enough to donate these days, you're basically signing up for a load of guilt trip phone calls. I got stopped in the street by a chugger a while back and ended up donating a fiver by text to the WWF. A couple of weeks later I was being made to feel like a right bastard who was more or less single handedly responsible for the deaths of the poor tigers because I wouldn't sign up to a monthly payment.

    • And the Sainsbury’s own brand chocolate mini rolls have gone from £1.15 to £1.40 overnight, so 22%-ish. I prefer them them to the Cadbury original because they have a lot more chocolate on them, presumably because they’re made in a less advanced factory. I would think that getting the Rizla thin coating of chocolate that Cadbury’s accountants demand onto a piece of sponge is quite a sophisticated operation. Discuss.
    • Another recommendation for Leon. He was able to come out to our electrical elergency within 24 hours of me contacting him. His communication was great and whilst he could not solve our problem, he was able to perform tests to identify this and did so quickly and efficiently. He charging  is very fair and his manner very pleasant. Both of these in contrast to some experiences I have had elsewhere.    happy to put my name to recommending Leon. His number is  07707 925039.
    • Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
    • That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.
