Yeah I think it has. I don’t mind her actual hosting. But the opening and closing monologues get longer and longer each week and they are so so shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s about as funny as dick cancer Agreed. I used to like her years ago, but she's gone from being a fairly "straight man" style presenter to trying to push her attempts at comedy, and it just doesn't work for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of the awful London where buses and trains only appear every 3 minutes, Birmingham's network is much better than everywhere else Come up here and witness buses that go to places no-one wants to go to by routes that snake their way around the city and train services that have been changed from every 15 minutes to every 20 because... new trains, except the new trains aren't ready yet and they don't seem to understand that every 20 minutes is a backward step from every 15 minutes Isn't Newcastle's pretty good? We certainly found the metro pretty handy when we were there, and it seems to be faster and more reliable than our one. Maybe I'm wrong though, haven't spent too much time up there.

As a kid I spent my summers up in Newcastle and then in the early 90s had a short time living up there. The metro in my experience then and since is that it was excellent and very reasonably priced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much experience of Newcastle tbh because it's.... just a small town in Scotland. I think I've used the Metro once in my entire life It could be better, I genuinely don't know but there's nothing wrong with Birmingham's either, it's miles ahead of nearly everywhere that I could think of, I try not to think of Newcastle From where I grew up, that I can get into town (mate) in about 45 mins using two different buses and a ten minute walk to the first bus stop is pretty unbeatable in most cities for a location that's 7 miles out and not on a direct route. If I tried to do something similar by bus in Liverpool I'd need a picnic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call it a 'main meal', but a really good ploughman's (with a pint) can be, er... really good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted December 30, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2021 Shrinkflation. It's seeping into everything and getting worse and worse/more blatant. We've bought these chocolate truffles coated in flakey chocolate from M&S. they come in a really big box, you would think there must be 10 - 12 decent sized choccies in there. But they've arranged them in 2 star shapes so you only get 8 small pieces in the box. Grrrrrrrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they are cheaper to make than the other chocolates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
