Commentators constantly apologising for bad language at football matches. Its football, people swear. If you don't like it don't watch, or just turn the sound down

As someone experiencing the garden centre wander for the first time this week - it's amazing how easy it is to spend! Mine was mainly seeds - didn't even look at the price but went by the pretty pictures! Through the till and no wonder she had a mask on!

find a decent nursery rather than paying garden centre prices

HID buys several gardening magazines each month and they usually have seeds attached. Grow Your Own and Kitchen Garden are good for fruit and veg. Saves buying seeds and some interesting varieties as well as a lot of good advice in the magazines

Good old OfCom fining channels if there's swearing on live TV unless they apologise quickly
Nobody cares much anymore but the rules are there and if they don't jump in with the apology the channel can get a hefty fine.

It's the boxing ones that gets me; you've tuned in to watch 2 blokes knock seven shades of out of each other, you're hardly going to be offended by the lack of Queen's English from the corner team.

I’m loving the new hot ?s they are using in the DP World Tour. They are picking up all sorts of swearing.

Bob Mc this morning was great after hitting a poor chip. “What the Fbomb was that” “W ️“ ?

Nigel Farage advertisement on Youtube - esp when you cant skip it.

Seems to pop up like clockwork after 30 mins while watching finance related videos. Apparently he can protect me from the Banks & help me build wealth...

Misreading the temperature on the instructions so my first ever home made sourdough loaf is darker than I’d like

its worse than that, the pubs dog friendly!!!!!

we paraded ours through the pub and commented very loudly about the poor one outside

I take mine into a lot of shops and cafe's. To be fair, my local corner shop owner is dog mad! My dog loves him (as do all the local dogs) as he keeps treats and makes a huge fuss over them. even leaves a queue of people in the shop to go and see the dogs!

David Baddiel getting the hump with Jimmy Carr's comedy. Pot calling the kettle black for some of the things he said under the same category of comedy in the 1990s. If you don't like Jimmy Carr, then don't watch or listen to him then.

'Judge Rinder' waded in as well. He was critical of the audience 'clapping and cheering' rather than walking out. I thought he was meant to be fairly intelligent, but he hasn't worked out that a Jimmy Carr stand-up audience tends to be full of Jimmy Carr fans who actually enjoy his jokes?

Whole thing is ridiculous but this is a regular occurrence nowadays. If you don't like offensive jokes then avoid offensive comedians and get on with living your life.

Unicorn iced gems, not even a unicorn on them

Buying a bag of midget gems in Sainsbury's - the bag says Midget Gems but the label on the front of the shelf says Mini Gems.
We've done this irritation before but just to see that irritated me as well. Even more than the covid Nazi in the store.

Judge Rinder has just done a programme about the Holocaust for the recent memorial day. All very raw so if you ask him about it he is bound to be against.

What I do find odd is that this programme was released back in December. Why is it only making a fuss now?

Totally agree Lord T. I watched that Jimmy Carr show back at the start of the year. He is one of the funniest people out there right now. You know he's going to make some truly horrendous comments but you know before you start.

A bit like watching Jonathan Pie or Frankie Boyle... but people still watch them while others cant stand them..

Surely though, the entire point of an offensive joke is that some people will be offended by it. If nobody is offended, it has failed.
If you go out to offend, you don't really need anyone to defend you from accusations of being offensive.

I have a greater understanding of those who are offended by the offensive joke than those who are irritated by those who are offended by the offensive joke.

Because the answer should be "his jokes offend me - I will stop watching". But instead it has become "his jokes offend me - I will try my hardest to make sure everybody has to stop watching".

I suspect that Jimmy's objective was the latter option.
