Someone did this to me in a card for my 21st, they filled it with little stars which exploded everywhere when I opened it and I was still finding the bloody things in the carpet about five years later!
If you have ever put glitter or little bits of animal shaped foil into a card of any description then you are an utter utter bastard and you ruined the sentiment of the card. Only money should fall out.

THIS. This is a pet hate of mine and drivers who do it should be hauled out of their cars and beaten up at the roadside.
It is genuinely staggering that there isn't mandatory software in cars/phones to prevent drivers from looking at their fucking phone screens and/or texting while driving. It's something I see every day from almost all drivers and it's a largely unacknowledged disgrace.

Indeed. I did so for a number of years when I was younger at Chasetown FC, including working as their press officer for a few seasons. #UpTheScholars
Fans of big football clubs don't have a clue what it is to be a real football supporter. Going along to a 60,000 seat stadium is easy. Watching your team every week in the lower leagues is true dedication.

I've been mystified for years by this - cars are always quoted in MPG and then they sell petrol in litres, I've never got why they did't change it to this.
Cars should show performance in miles per litre. We stopped filling up in Gallons 40 years ago

Should come with a multi-year driving ban and also a ban on owning a mobile phone, it's my biggest pet hate in life!
I hate when people text and drive, it genuinely is impossible to do and should come with a year ban from driving. Just look at the road.

And roadworks in urban areas should not only be done during school holidays and all!
The huge reduction in traffic during school holidays is proof all children should be required by law to travel via public transport to school. Only exceptional circumstances should be allowed to travel to school in a parents car.

I've been saying this for a while. I especially dislike the one for the bank (which hasn't done its job cos I can't remember which bank it is) with the children acting as adults - it just comes across as really wrong and weird.
Adverts where kids behave like adults or adults are dubbed with kid's voices are creepy. Stop it.

It's not often a Fesshole makes me giggle out loud, but this one sure did!
For years me & my Mrs have played a game where if one of us points at a sign & shouts "wead it" you have to read it out really loud pronouncing all the Rs and Ls as Ws. We had to leave a chemist for laughing when she had to read out "Erection problems? You're in the right place"

Well that's taught me something, cos I thought Chappell Roan was the name of a group, not a person! #IKnowNothingAboutModernMusic
I keep seeing Chappell Roan being compared to Kate Bush, and it's bullshit. I would try to elaborate, but I can't work out how this comparison even came around. The only common ground I can find is that they're both singers?

Well I've obviously done something bad today, cos at least three people in my life have basically straight up said they don't want to talk to me any more.
Shall I just stop interacting with people?

A sad day for motorsport with the passing of Eddie Jordan at the age of 76. A great character who always enjoyed the fun side of the sport yet at the same time displayed superb business acumen and made such a great success of his time working in F1 and beyond, and a fine competitor too. RIP Eddie.

If true, that is brilliant.
When I was training at drama school in London, we used the local Tory club function room to rehearse. On the day of a big miners demo, we put a sign in the window saying the Hampsted and Highgate Conservatives support the miners. It made the BBC national news.

Your time isn't that precious. You don't need to rush around everywhere, trying to be busy every second of the day. No need to have an aneurysm because someone made you slow down while driving, or because they were slow to use a cash point. Chill out a bit, you'll live longer.

Apparently today I cannot say anything to anyone without upsetting them or p*ssing them off. Sorry I woke up!

What a stunning photograph!
Remembering the great Rudi Caracciola, born #OnThisDay in 1901. Pic: threading his mighty Merc 154 at speed through tiny terraced streets during the ’38 #CoppaCiano, at Livorno, in ’38; & if you see a more awesome racing pic than this one today, I’ll be impressed! (1/2)
