I'm always hoping that a contestant will say, "Don't know, Alexander. What are you going to do with your salary for this show?"

the answer is always....

That was my point.

I hardly think a days difference at the end of April in a specific year would stop that point from being nearly May.

" can you believe it's nearly May already , where has the time gone?! "

Well yes I can believe it . This will be the 42nd time in my life that this exact amount of time since new year has led to it being 'nearly may' so I was kinda f*cking expecting it this time.  

"the year's flying in, we'll soon be thinking of Christmas"

 

No, the year is going by in the same amount of time it always does and no I won't be thinking about Christmas any time soon

That question that crops up every weekday on Pointless from Alexander Armstrong :

If you do win tonight's jackpot 0f £1000 what would you do with it?

Personally, I'd tell him to f**k off and mind his own business.

A good reply tonight however, from a contestant :

"I hope it might allow me to turn my heating on for a couple of hours"

"Donate it to the Tory Party. I'll get 100 times that back in double quick time"

Petty things that get on my nerve

1.People that don’t close their mouths when eating and it literally sounds like you’re sitting next to a horse.

2.People that sound dry like it’s clear to every man and their dog that they’re needing to drink but decide to sound like they have a mouthful full of mashed potatoes whilst they talk rather than having a glass of water. 

3.People that have the constant need to click their knuckles,elbows,neck etc 

4.People that sit with their phones on loudspeaker having a full blown conversation whilst you’re in a public place I’m like “do we really need or want to hear what your auntie Jean had for lunch”

5. Having the sound on their phone whilst they type a text. That tippy tappy noise goes through me.

6. People that have mental or physical illness that use it as an excuse for their actions. 
 

7. Fully grown adults that are still looked after by their parents and don’t know the basics such cooking for themselves or rely on their parents to do their cleaning. 
 

8.People that never put their hands in their pockets and expect you to pick up the bill every time. 

9. when people leave bits of food like egg or fish floating about the sink not alone annoys me but gives me the boke 

But apart from that, was the rest of the night out a success?

Getting the bus from Edinburgh Airport to Dundee just now. 22 quid, give the driver two 20s. He has that wee "aw ffs" look before handing back a tenner, fiver and exactly 3 round pounds. 

That wasn't hard was it ya f**k? Give us a card option to avoid counting next time. 

These c***s expect aw c**t just to have spare coins kicking about coming from all over?

Phoning for a doctor's appointment and having to wait two and a half weeks. Broken Britain.

[bennett]

I've never had an issue with doctors,  phone at 8.30, get a phone call back from a GP and go to the surgery if I need to.

I made an appointment last week. Was seen 2 days later. 

Falkirk has a secret super NHS system. Don't tell anyone.

Probably because the majority of the population still treat ailments from shite they find out the backdoor

Just had to spend £1500 on van repairs. Plus a week's lost work while it's in the garage.

I recently bought a used van which was in great condition and low miles etc, the only issue being the aircon didn't work. No big deal I thought, probably a gas top-up required...

Nope. Condenser and compressor knackered, £1300 to fix. I'll be driving like Ace Ventura this summer.

Unusual to find a reasonably priced one these days.

If you are mechanically competent, it is possible to purchase and install the necessary parts and then get a specialist to gas it up…but you run the risk of the initial diagnosis having missed something. Also, it isn’t a simple job on some vehicles.

I'm actually an HVAC engineer but don't do automotive. The work itself probably isn't too taxing, but the access is a pain in the arse for a DIY job without a lift. The days of laying on my back under axle stands for 4 hours are long gone.
