Can I put in a good word for 8 out of 10 cats does countdown which I only recently discovered given that I, too can’t stand the non countdown one..
They’re alright as long as you remember to shut the door Rummy..so I’ve been told..Otherwise you can have a good old swim around your bathroom doing water aerobics before the ceiling collapses.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Moe..as you like the Countdown version Rachel Riley can stay, I guess the guys will be ok with that.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...“Anyone who hasn’t had their Covid jabs.
Anyone who voted for Brexit.
Anyone who votes Conservative.The Venn diagram of that lot would have a lot of overlapping, I’d imagine.”
Lots of constituencies in the north of England which habitually returned Labour MPs to Parliament (at least until 2019) voted for Brexit.
And the unvaccinated are believed to have a disproportionate number from poorer socioeconomic backgrounds and from ethnic minorities, neither group being known for voting Conservative.
Apart from that, spot on.
Racing pundits who use phrases like “hit the line hard” and “the race fell apart”.
Fussy starters in National Hunt races who seem to want the horses lined up as if they are on Horseguards Parade.
Anyone who thinks Cheltenham should have a fifth day.
People with a full trolly not being kind enough to let you
go ahead of the when you’ve got 3 items in your handbasketBeing told, “your call is important to us, please hold for the next
available agent” and listening to terrible music for the next 40 minutesWhen a call on your landline starts “hello sir, I work for Microsoft and
we have identified that you have a problem with your computor” 🤬The extortionate price of train fares.
‘Driving Home For Christmas’ by Chris Rea.
Anyone who is rude or unpleasant to customer service staff.
The words ‘bolthole’, ‘cheeky’ and ‘character’ (as in ‘he’s a right character’. No, he’s just a prick).
‘Driving Home For Christmas’ by Chris Rea.
The fact that I can’t wake up at 8am on a work day but can’t sleep at 7am at weekends.
Insurance companies.
And last but by no means least, ‘Driving Home For Christmas’ by Chris Rea.

Wash your mouth out with soap and water, Dicky. CR is a solid Boro lad and he’s made some great tunes. DHFC being one of them plus many more like On The Beach, Road To Hell, Stainsby Girls, etc. Rea’s were very well known for their Cafes and Ice cream vans plus an Ice cream-making factory employing local people.
We are lucky that he didn’t take over that ready-made business but chose instead to give us some beautiful tunes

Graham all your wishes are granted access..especially that annoying man from Microsoft who in our case is an annoying Indian person from Talk Talk.

Yep that’s him Graham.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Great idea for a thread Triptych. Some racing-related ones from me:
– Trainers who say there are no suitable races for their horse.
– The weighing room code.
– Stewards who only ever “note” things.
– People who demand older horses are retired as soon as they have a bad run.
– Commentators who tell you how a fallen jockey is but not the horse.
– Commentators who do not give full finishing orders.
– The modern-day camera angles at Becher’s Brook.
– The name “The Horsemen’s Group”.
– The end of Timeform annuals.
– Matt Chapman trophy presentations.That’s just off the top of my head!
