    Thank god for all the radio 4 responses. My family think I am a dinosaur for listening but there is so absorbing stuff on there and make the journey just disappear. That 'Mark Steel's in Town' makes me larf.

    Saying that even the kids hate Grimmy on R1 saying who he has partied with, which celebs he spoke to/got photographed with yadda yadda. I can't see how that appeals to anyone, young or old.

      Shouldn't that be: "Make more groaning and grunting noises when picking up things now than I do when having sex!"
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        How do you grunt and groan with that snooker ball firmly wedged in your gob with a tight leather strap?

          Yes, but even radio four is now dummed down. When I switch it on there is usually a lesbian going on about some rights for facilities in order bring kids to work or something equally stupid.

            Yeah, same. Except I'm 33.

            Ugh.

              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                Never waste an erection.

                Enjoy the sun.

                Look for enjoyable things that are free, such as taking a walk in the countryside with your family.

                Spend time, food, wine and conversation with good friends.

                Switch off the radio, TV and don't read newspapers.

                Give a tramp a cup of hot tea and ask about his story.

                Give a politician a good kicking.
                If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

                  Nothing wrong with your suggestions, although it makes me think my original post sounded as if I was unhappy or depressed, which I am not. More reflective over how pointless some of this IT stuff in the grand scheme of things and how others in poorly paid jobs make far greater contributions than I ever could on this career path.

                    You can kill these three birds with one stone by having a wank in the garden.

                      Well you're in luck. Some of the lowest grades of the NHS, care assistants and the like require very few qualifications. Off you go: quit your pointless manager's job and go and empty some bed pans.
                      Hard Brexit now!
