Local councils and their attitudes towards farmers
Whilst Jeremy Clarkson is a bit of a clown his program has highlighted so many issues that farmers face in trying to survive
I’m only on season two still and it’s clear he is trying to help local farmers and community but it’s staggering the amount of battles and red tape they put up

I agree with some of that view, however the consumer also has a lot to answer for.
However, more of an amazement after watching up to series 3 and all of Richard Hammonds Workshop, is how both JC and RH are totally inept when it comes to money and so disconnected from the real World they both are.
You have to wonder how they even managed to steer a car in a straight line.

Saw Hamilton tonight got bored not a fan of musicals but misses enjoyed it.
What annoyed me most was people that can’t live without a phone in their hands.
Couple next to us was on their phones right up to start of show and the woman was playing something that my 10 year old granddaughter would play
Half time the amount of people that got their phones out was ridiculous

1am Spanish time. The hotel about half a mile down the hill has a tremendous firework display… The rockets were bursting level with where we are up the hill. Mmm, very pretty but…

Screen wash cracking in the boot - car smells
Probably smells better than when a bottle of milk broke in my car one summer, many years ago.

I went to see New order a couple years ago Glasgow hydro, last gig I went to after being quite a regular gig goer over the years and the amount of phones recording every single song was nuts, just thousands of phone lights up in the air. Given the band too it was quite an older crowd. Mad, take me back to just enjoying the gig days phone free

Can just imagine the smell and it’s not great

Out walking the dog tonight....he's old and slow and his back legs are beginning to fail him, as well as having several other "old man" issues.
50 yards from home on a short walk he slumps down on a grassy patch and refuses to move any further. I give him ten minutes rest and then encourage him to perhaps try moving....nothing...just looked at me like I'm an idiot for asking. After another 10 minutes i ring the wife and ask if she can bring him a bowl of water which she duly does. Another ten minutes pass and the dog absolutely refuses to even attempt to try to get up. I leave the wife with the dog to go and get the car.
With the help of a large towel under his belly we manage to lift him into the boot...all the time he is doing his best to do an impression of a 35kg dead weight (which to be fair is what he is).
We get him home, lift him out of the car, put him down on his bed....
....and he gets straight back up, out of the kitchen door and RUNS down the garden!!!

He's not training to be a Premier league footballer, is he?

Bet your jaw was on the floor!
Probably he's been training you for a decade for that moment
Hope he's okay tomorrow.

This is a heart gladdening story, reading it I was worried it was going to have a sad ending

…all those feeling pleased with themselves with Gary Linekar now finished presenting MotD. Pathetic that there is such pettiness in society today that results in public service broadcasting losing one of its very best ever sports presenters in this way. And if that sounds angry it’s because I am. So thank you Gary…you have been brilliant, and will continue to be so.

Wow - are you kidding? He started off as Mr. woodentop and turned into an egotistical smug prat who thought that the world wanted to listen to his rantings outside of sport.
He turned me off watching the sports he presented. Especially his golf spots.
I've no idea why people think he was as good as or better than Des Lynam or Steve Ryder.
He should have been sacked years ago.

That some people are still sorry that Gary Lineker has left the BBC after his recent posts about world events he made without checking how little knowledge he had about the past which led to his demise.
