Given the regularity with which you're meant to clean the dispenser drawer of your washing machine, you'd think it would be engineered in a way that would make it easy to clean the drawer and cavity without losing the skin on three knuckles.

Grrr.

Don't need X-ray vision to not see something.

So if they've not seen an actual device, why are they assuming that anyone wearing earbuds or headphones is listening using a phone or tablet, and not an MP3 player? Why the fuck would I want to waste my phone's battery/storage/mobile data (select all that apply) using it as an MP3 player when I've already got a device that does the job far better? Or, it does when I remember to pick the bloody thing up....

Genuinely pleased to see all the love for Nuno Bettencourt's performance (here and elsewhere), growing up he was always my guitar hero. Amazing player and seems like a genuinely good fella.

But then you have to carry two devices. I'm guessing you have a phone that does phone stuff only.

Did I mention before? When series suddenly break from the existing story at a pivotal point, to start an episode with a huge chunk of backstory - sometimes a whole episode of it.

Food place filling empty HP, Heinz, Lurpak containers with the cheap stuff. I know you use the cheap stuff, why are you trying to deceive me?

Quite often done after a massive cliffhanger as well.

We ran out earlier this year at our football ground so we picked up some ketchup from Aldi and stuck it on the table for the Sunday morning butties. Someone complained that we were using the cheap stuff but we normally use a massive bottle of own brand shit from the cash and carry! I might start filling Heinz bottles!

He was absolutely brilliant, though among the girls and gays who made up most of the group I watched the stream with, it wasn't his performance that was most appreciated.

Me and a group of mates go for a curry about once a month. The idea is that we try a different restaurant each time just to keep things interesting then go for a few drinks at the local afterwards.

A newcomer to the group has decided we should kill two birds with one stone and have a curry at the pub, and has convinced half of the group that this is a good idea. So this Thursday. instead of going to a lovely Indian restaurant, or maybe a trendy Nepalese establishment, I'm going to be having my tea in Wetherspoons.

Brilliant.

Are they called Mike by any chance?
