Default Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

I stopped watching the news because of the biased reporting of B****t, I continued not watching the news as I was fed up of hearing about Covid, and now I still don't watch the news as I'm fed up with hearing about the US election...

'I'd be happy if the BBC could manage to put the local news in HD so I don't have to change channels halfway through the news or suffer the steel band/swimmers/wheelchair basketball team sounds until the remote is located.

How can ITV manage this but the BBC can't? ' - Exactly what I have been saying here in darkest Yorkshire !

When did this country become so obsessed with American politics ?!
Nigel Farage seen standing on a platform among Trump supporters - he'll be disappointed when they tell him he can't vote because he isn't American !

It's to put our politicians in a good light, to make them look sane.

eBay eejits, again. Selling my Givi Top Box which still retails at £200 brand new, which is 18 months old and in good condition for £160 (offers can be sent). The amount of eejits who think you'll sell it for half the cost of a new one is ridiculous. To the point i added in the description that no lowball offers would be entertained.
If you want cheap luggage, go look and bid on cheap luggage! If you want quality luggage understand there's a price attached to it.

Because we are one of the newest states to join the Union, or so the BBC would have us think. Don't worry about what's happening in Europe, nothing to worry about there

Less than 12 hours after Boris's announcement, Morrisons shelves have been stripped of toilet rolls and dried pasta.

The hoarders supplies from 8 months ago must be getting low.

I can't say I'm surprised to hear that. The same idiots and idiots never seem to learn.
