My local hospitals car park, at times the visting hours must coincide with appointment times, as at just after 11 today it was mayhem, completely full, gridlocked roads. I circumnavigated all the parking places more than once!

Mates funeral this morning. Found out he had cancer in December, 6 weeks later gone. Over 300 expected, so speakers are being put up outside the crem.

His widow has said close friends/family are to be asked to enter and we are to then go in. No standing on ceremony.

So two gripes from me. Why do the good ones go early. and why are crematoriums built so small? I know nobody wants to see an empty auditorium and have been to a funeral with only 5 there. but also been to more than my fair share with more standing outside than able to sit inside.

Finding out someone you know has been finished in their new job after a few months and that the person who left to create the vacancy has been hired back. Nepotism is nasty.

I went to a memorial service at St Paul's Cathedral for a friend who was also a broadcaster. Such was the number of people wishing to attend the family had to go through all the requests and decide who would and would not receive a ticket and there was a seating plan. It was the day after Margaret Thatchers funeral at the same venue. I bet there was a lot more love in that wonderful building for my friend Christoper's service than there was for Maggie.

My gripe is people who work in support functions at workplaces who insist you work in a way to make their life as easy as possible.

They are the support. Tail wagging the dog.

Luckily he's on the other side of the world? Oh no its got a lot smaller with all that wall building going on. What with his views on global warming I think he'll destroy the world sooner without resorting to the big red button.

On a side note.. why is it vegetarians want me to eat less meat ( apparently we eat too much of it) .. but how do they know how much I'm eating? ( and how much is too much?)

Americans.. their own worst enemy... they voted in a non politically correct president and now dont like it. bet half that voted Trump done it for a laugh.

just goes to show.. no matter how much of an ahole you are if you get enough votes your in (personally i see nothing wrong with Trump being President of the USA). lets just see how popular Mr Farage is for prime minister in the next election
