    The bloke with all his teeth showing in the Trivago adverts.
    Why a four-year-old child could understand this report! Run out and find me a four-year-old child, I can't make head or tail of it.

      The recent trend of using the word ‘batter’ in cricket. For years it’s been a word only used by those that know nothing about cricket.

        Not being a big movie watcher, but I think I was watching Prime, suddenly, in the middle of this movie the screen goes black, this window comes up:

          Ha! That bloke Jurgen Klopp, Enigma.

          He's a legend.

          (Agree the adverts are terrible though!)

            Thanks for the info about him Ms D. I had to Google him.

            He's also in an advert for Amplifon where he is so obnoxious that I wish I could re-arrange his teeth so he'd require dental work.

              When did Libraries stop being Libraries?

              I went to the local Library today for the first time in a while. It looked more look a drop in centre for people with double-digit IQ’s, deafness and serious hygiene issues. It was so loud. What happened to Librarians telling people to ‘shhhh’? If someone had gone to the Library to study or to do research they would have found it impossible. One young woman, sitting with 2 young men, was constantly making phone calls. One after another, all trivial. And loud! If she’d have just gone and stood on the doorstep of the Library she would have saved on her phone bill because the person she was talking to would have been able to have heard her from there.

              And books? Around 50% of the quantity of books that there used to be because they are using the space for other things. Obviously having books there is a bit of an inconvenience so I don’t know why they don’t just have done with it and dump all of the books.

              It’s a sad state of affairs that libraries have come to this.

                People who can’t make a phone call by holding the phone to their ear. They have to have it on ‘speaker’ and hold it in front of their face because they feel that the rest of the population is desperate to follow their inane conversation.

                        I know it’s only an advert but I always think why, when asked about his holiday, he says something like “yeah I really needed it.” But he only stayed for one night! How could he have ‘really needed’ a one night break?

                            Hi Mike, presumably there are two reasons they use the loudspeaker: attention seeking and in an attempt to save their one remaining brain cell from being fried by electromagnetic waves.

                            One can derive some comfort that no matter how mundane one's own life seems, it is superior when compared with the fatuous and inane conversations one can't help overhearing.

                              That's the restaurant business for you; customers are always freezing and starving.
                              It's so unnecessary -- why not just say I'm so happy to be inside where it's warm or I'm excited about dining here tonight but no it's the emotional exaggeration of starving and freezing.

                                Yeah, they do don't they? I think that is from the mustiness of old clothes or the smell if they had been recently dry cleaned.

                                I was out at Arlington National Cemetery last week and went through the home of Robert E. Lee. There was definitely a musty smell which is not surprising given its age. But what I also noticed (and did so on previous occasions as well) was the call it lack of energy in the place. A little disconcerting.
