Surely Chris Evans. Earns more than Lineker, is ginger, even more boring and never scored a goal at a World Cup.

The trouble of having another vote is what happens if we say no,

Do we have another one in 2 years,

We sound a bit like the SNP we want another vote and another until the people get it right.

Yep, same as the money saved from coming out of Europe would be spent on the NHS. Emblazoned all over their tour bus, but mysteriously not mentioned since.

Some ways to avoid them from a newspaper report.

1. Pretend you don’t hear them
Simple, but let’s face it, effective. Big headphones always help.

2. Take the long route away from them.

3. Stare intensely at your phone
Sorry, I’m busy.

4. Cross the road
A variation on 2, but the same principle applies.

5. Say you’re from overseas then dismiss them when they try and convince you that’s still okay.

6. Pretend you know the person walking near you and be enthralled with talking about their coat/trousers/bemused face
Let’s face it, this could backfire, and you could look a bit silly. But there’s always the hope the other person will enthusiastically embrace the tactic in the face of a common threat.

7. Act like the sort of person they’d be scared to approach.
Suspicious stains could help, or a generally threatening demeanor.

8. Say that the judge made it very clear that you're not allowed to talk to people from charities any more. Not after last time.

My favourite is 8 but personally I think a short comment of fuckoff would suffice if nicely put.

We have a rule in our house that if there is a final or similar big event on telly then you're allowed to watch it on the big telly in the front room (works well for footy etc). The mrs was allowed out of the back room and put Love Island on last night. What a crock of excrement. To think there are fully grown men about who watched it all too...

I'd third 'drivers who don't indicate'.

If it's not that it's drivers who don't close up to the car in front when stopped at junctions leading to queues back to previous junctions and blocking them too. Middle lane hoggers. illegitimates who try to intimidate you when you're not hogging the middle lane. People who think you should get out of the way because they're in flash cars. Erratic drivers (usually young men). People (usually young men) in cars who have the bass on so loud you can feel your chest thump. Drivers in front of you (usually women or old men) who are hesitant or take too long in the run up to traffic lights then speed up at the last second leaving you stuck at a red light. Drivers who turning left or right onto a main road who stick in the middle meaning you can't slip in alongside and turn the opposite way to them while they dither.  People who cut the corner at junctions nearly smashing into you (mainly drivers in Grimsby and Cleethorpes). People who park inconsiderately blocking the way or your drive. People who make their drive wider thus removing space on the road to park in.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

People who don't indicate. People who indicate incorrectly.
People who pull up right up to you within inches when your stood waiting at red traffic lights. People who, when they've pulled up within an inch of you at a red traffic light and I pull forward a couple of inches to give space between us, decide to pull forward as well so there's only an inch between us again
People behind me when waiting at traffic lights leave it until the last second to even begin slow down leaving me think there plowing into the back of me.
Women driving beige Beatle convertables, worst drivers ever.
Drivers who don't accelerate along motorway sliproads, often with me stuck behind them, and hit trying to join the motorway at 40mph with traffic approaching behind you/alongside you at 70-80 mph.

That'll be me. Sorry  . But if we all concertina out we'll be backing up across all the junctions further back. Only thinking of the wider traffic issues.
