• 
  Americans don't understand that the rest of the world just laughs when they claim to be the country of 'freedom'. They get about 4 days off work a year, no maternity or sick leave, no free healthcare, democracy is owned by billionaires, you arent even free to cross a street.
• 
  No Tesco, why don't YOU round up my total to the nearest pound for charity. You're the billion pound company, not me.
• 
  If there is an Under 21 Euros, there should also be an Over 35 Euros. Legends of the game having one last roll of the dice to settle old scores and one last chance to win a major trophy.
• 
  The idea of '15 minute cities' is so benevolent and inoffensive that there's really no hope for any progressive idea if the alt right can successfully turn it into some sort of weird conspiracy.
• 
  There was NEVER anything wrong with wired earphones. The tiny inconvenience of a thin wire was nothing compared to the fuckaboutery involved with wireless ones.
• 
  Wetherspoons gets far too much stick. Their food and drinks are reasonably priced and their pubs are often in interesting old buildings. It's just snobbery that gives them a bad name.
• 
  If you're around 35 or under in the UK, the government has never made anything better for you. Tuition fees brought in, stagnating wages from frozen tax brackets etc. An entire adult life of austerity with another decade ahead
• 
  BBC recipes are an invaluable asset to the nation. They're the only ones online that don't begin with a story about how the author discovered the recipe while travelling before settling down and having a wonderful family. Fuck off Tabitha, no one cares if you've been to Tibet.
• 
  Much as I love Skyfall, the bit where Bond drives M to Scotland in his Aston Martin DB5 is very short on detail - in one scene they're in Chelsea, the next in the Highlands. You don't see them having a Burger King in Charnock Richard, or Wetherby Services if they'd taken the A1.
• 
  Day time drinking should be normalised. Who the fuck wants to go out at 8 and stay up till 3am getting pissed. Start at 12 be shitfaced by 7, kebab, hit the sack at 8 and then you've not wasted the entire following day with a hangover in bed.
• 
  The Royal Family should be subscription only. Those who want to follow their wacky antics and family dramas can pay the hefty bill for it all. The rest of us get to live in blissful ignorance of the national soap opera and maybe those taxes can be used for something useful.
• 
  Whoever made the executive decision that all coleslaws, dips and the like should no longer have proper lids, only a peel back plastic film, deserves a firm kick in the bollocks.
• 
  Outside looking in, the UK is a failing state circling the drain. I really don't understand why the people of Britain aren't rioting. There is so much corruption in power, so much failing infrastructure, but the people just sit there and take it like they're sedated. Bizarre.
• 
  Everyone who had to work through lockdown should be given a three month paid holiday at a time of their choosing to make up for it
