Is that all, mine has dropped £50 a month.

Tell me, who apart from bodywork repair garages has a legitimate use for aerosol paint ? There can't be many surely ? So we could cure the plight of graffiti, a large part of it anyway, by restricting the sale of aerosol paint. Make it subject to a special licence, or at least restrict it to certain shops, over 18's, proof of id, signed for.

I think Banksy is over 18.

People who expect to pay the same price as they did last year.

My mortgage has dropped to zero this year.

I think Banksy is over 18.

And if he'd had to sign for his paint we'd know who he is and we could make him scrub clean all the walls he has defaced over the years. He belongs in prison.

Journalists/news correspondents being interviewed about making the news instead of just reporting what is going on. They are trying to make themselves look heroic when in war zones or earthquake areas.

After watching both of these recently and agreeing with almost everything on them , i thought i would put down one of my gripes and moans.

1. Newsreaders who have to tell us their names as the news starts, i am truly not interested in their names, they are there to read the news , everyone seems to want to be a celebrity these days.

What is your daily moan.

Virtually everyone is stupid, and thinks that their pathetic little rationalisations of anything have any value whatsoever. Burn the lot of them.

Today's example:

1) The Brexit referendum result is final no other referendum on the subject should be held again
2) The Scottish independence referendum should be held again if people want to

What a complete shower the general public, and media, and reporters are.

The use of the word"unbelievable". as in an unbelievable move, or goal. Should it not be amazing, wonderful or outstanding?

At what age does one become a grumpy old man?

According to my missus/kids, mum etc..in my case...since birth.

modern soccer.

I'm surprised that you keep watching it as you seem to hate it so much. Reinforcement theory?
Can't be good for your blood pressure...

There are far too many cars on the road now! There i was yesterday evening,passing a house where we as children used to sit in the summer and watch the annual vintage car rally pass by. I stood there for a minute and counted oh what must've been a car every 5 seconds pass by. I thought about waving my walking stick at them in anger,but decided to just walk away cussing and cursing.
