Bloop!

ITV doesn’t seem to have scored many virtue points by letting what was obviously a bloke in a frock do a ‘poor me’ piece about the struggles of being a mother. Something he obviously isn’t.
    It’s easy to mock
        ITV’s bloke in a frock
            Who was hoping we’d be dumb
                    Enough to mistake him for a Mum.

Pragmatic approach

Two-thirds of Appeal Court judges are not up to the job. If that’s as good as we can get, we might as well close it down and spare the taxpayer all the dosh that goes to the wig-wearers.

Linkless

Is there any connection between the discovery of the wreck of Sir E. Shackleton’s shop Endurance 100 years to the day later and his burial date in 1922? Only to an idiot or someone desperate for something to put between the adverts would try to pretend there is.

Fame, yes, talent not needed!

What sort of people are running the likes of Spottyflicks & its competitors? Are they really unable to see that people like Prince Hairy & his missus are useless communicators?
    Or are they just cynics who think anything can be hyped to a profit?

Only slightly famous

Is it creditable to call a woman a top TV writer just because she created an ITV show that was seen by a minor fraction of the population?
    In my case, I never find anything interesting on ITV 1 (or BBC 1 & 2) or an evening and her name means nothing at all to me. Famous in the bubble, otherwise not.
    “Famous, but not as I know it, Jim.”

Another Yawn

Why does a pair of actor persons go into a 3-month sober pact will bells, whistles and publicity?
    To get noticed and written about seems about right.

Disconnect!

The president of France is keen to score points by sending the police after cannabis users and extracting huge spot fines from their victims. The cops, on the other hand, aren’t keen to do this extra job because they’re worried about being mugged if they have to go around with their pockets bulging with fines!
    But you’d think they’d have enough to worry about when they have to contain riots caused by some entitled young man getting himself killed by defying the cops.
