Green tea is delicious, especially with lemon.

Earl Grey is fucking terrible.

A lot of the places on Just Eat don't exist. It was investigated a while back as a lot of the 'restaurants' addresses turned out to be industrial estates or empty fields. So, you don't actually know where your meal has come from, or who made it. That's not right.

Well all of the places that show up on Just Eat when I have used it are places I know from my town, so I know they are real. I've never ordered from a place I didn't know.

I don't really see any benefit in using JustEat or whatever instead of just calling the place you want to order from.

I've used Just-Eat a couple of times when I'm feeling especially lazy, we have 2 take away's and a chippy literally 30seconds walk so we usually just go to one of those.

Cocaine use so high in Britain that it's contaminated the drinking water. I fucking love it.

So it seems Rolf Harris is a paedophile.

Just waiting for Bruce Forsyth to be investigated now...

Hilarious BNP leaflet through my letter box today. Informing me of how I should be fearful of everyone in a burqa and give my protest vote to them as the 'politicians are running scared'. If I was to vote out of protest I'd vote the Green Party because they're a party that nobody (rightly so) takes seriously and they're not a set a racist idiots.

Perhaps if more Post Offices were like this, they wouldn't all be closing down:

^Brilliant!

Crystal Maze - what a throwback to the old days. Used to love watching that, especially at the end when they were in that giant crystal catching all that "money".

Don't you just hate it when you're waiting for the self-checkout at the supermarket and someone in front of you is scanning through their entire weekly shopping?

I went in Tesco just now for a bottle of milk. It's a small Tesco, so there's only one self-checkout. I grab the milk and by the time I got to the self-checkout, there was a woman using it scanning through a solid 20 items, I kid you not. She took fucking ages. A couple of times the machine shouted "ASSISTANCE NEEDED" as she fucked up when putting the items in the bagging area, which took even longer. Meanwhile some bloke taps me on the shoulder and asks if I'm in the queue - no, I am just stood here by the self-checkouts carrying a bottle of milk because it's the latest fashion.

Fuck people.
