Like I said, though, it’s not irritating. Just so smug it’s funny.

Heck, that reminds me of a bona-fide irritant. The very fact that this Monday we could only be re-acquainted with Jamie chomping away in smug once, because only the Sunday-bill (just one half-hour episode, as was the weekend-schedule for Corrie in those days) has been uploaded. Not only does it not help with the Sunday entertainment-void (Sunday bills should be re-aired on Sundays; like, duh … it gives people some telly to get their teeth into on the most boring day of the week) but it also ensures that there’re two Monday bills to watch on a Monday, like every other day of the week. I don’t know why the transmissional powers that be are so allergic to putting decent stuff on telly besides Songs of Praise on on a Sunday at this point.
Ugh. There sure-are a lot of things that grind my gear. This is becoming a book at this point.
