Random Irritations

[HomerJSimpson]

The attempts at red carpet interviews at The Oscar's dominating the news channels this morning . Embarrassing, sycophantic and largely a waste of time. Give out the results and forget the interviews.

Watching the BBC news just after 6.00 this morning and these were non-interviews and a novice reporter hopelessly out of her depth desperately trying to fill and work out how the hell to get someone to speak to her. That seemed to be more of a story than the even and winners itself

Oscars, apart from those involved, who really cares and does it really matter?
Not I.

All these award ceremonies are just a load of luvvies telling each other how wonderful they all are - in between preaching to the rest of us on how we are ruining everything in the world and it is all our fault. Bunch of hypocrites

Now that England knows what a real storm feels like (though ask a Hebridean about 'storms' and they tell you why traditional houses are often lashed to the ground ), maybe the weather people will think again about calling out a storm every time the wind speed is going to puff above the average. There is a danger that too many 'false storms' make us blase and we ignore the real ones. Only half jesting.

Why would Top Gear get more viewers on BBC1 than on BBC2? Do people not know BBC2 exists? Lost the remote and can't change channel? May be BBC2 is for left handed people only, or viewing time is rationed.

Ciara barely registered. The 1987 storm down here was the one to talk about.

They are sinister.

They ought to be playing baseball.
Good game for lefties since there are more right handed pitchers than left.
It's easier to hit against opposite dexterity pitchers.

I find watching left handed golfers just odd. Randomely irritating if you like. Phil Mickelsons swing for example, just looks horrible. Even if you flip it with a mirror. What is worse, is that he has no excuse, he isn't even left handed.

I must admit I think left handed golfers look so awkward.

Latin based banter. Love it.

Every time I decide I’m going to go join a local golf club the weather turns awful and stops me doing it.

As a regular cinema goer, I quite enjoy "pitting my wits" against the committee & seeing where we agree or disagree.

My irritation as far as this is concerned is that you can no longer go to the cinema and see all the candidates. You now need Netflix or Amazon or Apple or whatever to see all the candidates, which I have no desire to do.

He's got a perfect excuse, that being the way he learnt the game facing his father who was a righty.

Out of interest do you feel the same about Bob Charles, Mike Weir, Ben Hogan, Johnny Miller, Greg Norman, Curtis Strange, Nick Price, David Graham & Byron Nelson? They apparently all played from their non-natural side.
