I just saw this on TV at the funeral of Jimmy McIlroy. I know people mean well and are showing their appreciation, but it just doesn't seem right to me to be applauding a coffin. I know. It's not the...
On one of the universitys' instructions to exam candidates, it said:
A student who is pregnant should inform the head invigilator before his/her examination begins.
Clever stuff, eh? :o)...
A great performance yesterday from Brighton. Mourinho said Utd made too many mistakes, which was correct but he should have added that Brighton forced those mistakes out of Utd. Utd couldn't handle...
....but we know what she meant. On BBC R5L Sport report, the girl said that "..the first test against India kicks off today.." Really? What does she know that we don't?!!...
After the plumber had repaired our leaking toilet cistern on Thursday (he replaced the ball valve), it started overflowing. I had to twist it to stop it flushing. Then it wouldn't re-fill, unless I...
I always enjoyed trying to do The Sunday Times Prize Crossword, until they changed the setter. It was always set by a lady called Barbra something. Can't remember her surname. But when she retired, I...
I only noticed it this week. I think Shaqiri was one of the best players in PL last season but he was with the wrong club, with all respect to Stoke. I think it's a great signing for Liverpool. He's a...
In spite of all the criticism about the World Cup coverage taking up lots of air time, many of the games topped the ratings, according to The Sunday Times tv section. It seems to have been more...
The Open was a bit of a damp squib, wasn't it? I'm pleased for Molinari. Nobody saw him coming. He never got a mention from any of the useless pundits until the last few holes, who only focused on the...
I've just been watching this programme for about 15 minutes. Brexiteers. Remainers. Brussels. Article 50 etc. I haven't got a f k n clue what they're on about, so I'm off to bed!
Yes folks. Southgate is in the second group to tee off at Carnoustie tomorrow. Wot? Oh yes, it's Matthew Southgate not THAT Southgate. He had a good finish last year. Hope he does well this time too....
Yesterday was the 19th anniversary of the death of my best friend. We'd known each other from being small children, growing up, getting married etc. His death at the relatively young age of 51 was a...
...in just over an hour. But you can only hear it if you live in the Bournemouth area. I'll be on a station called Hope FM, talking about the loss of HM Ships Glorious, Ardent and Acasta in June 1940....
Most of you will know I've been banging on about the M60 car park for some time now. 17 miles of road works that should have been finished in July 2017 but still ongoing and I still can't see what...
......t'other day. I knew what it was about cos I'm always late paying the bill. Anyway, someone called who said his name was Afzal. He asked if my name was Mr. Clarion and was I the bill payer. I...
I had a number on my phone for a friend of mine, listed as "Fred Home". Not his real name. He changed to a new number, so I deleted his old one, then added the new one. The problem is with the voice...
Yes folks. I was born on July 22nd 1948. I was one of "the lucky generation", whatever that means, into a new service that had been strongly opposed by the Tories all the way to it's introduction,...
A couple of people were taken to hospital in Wiltshire last Saturday after being "exposed to a substance", according to the radio this morning. Wiltshire? Porton Down? Chemicals? Those Ruskies have...
