When people quantify the extent of something with “beyond” too much. “Beyond awful”, “beyond atrocious”. It’s so cliched now.

ITV’s “does everyone have a long-lost relative somewhere?” advert. Of course they do. Everyone does. Have you ever consciously gone about meeting your 12th cousins before?

EastEnders > Corrie > Emmerdale (from best to worst). Tuesday nights that are just half an hour of Emmerdale are pretty grim, still. EastEnders is released at 6am on BBC iPlayer now on the weekdays it’s on so people be watching it early on the toilet or on their break in work. Come Tuesday and Thursday evenings it’s typically just Emmerdale. That can be annoying. Especially when it’s just Liam being awkward (why haven’t he and Nicola been diagnosed with autism yet?), the guy who plays Ethan acting very poorly indeed and abusive Tom throwing Belle under the ’bus for the trillionth time.

I detest Eastenders, although I come from the East End. I adore Corrie... do people from Manchester like it, I wonder?

We used to like Corrie when it was on twice a week , Monday and Wednesday and they ended episodes on a knife- edge then we waited days to see what on earth was going to happen . Nowadays soaps leak all the stories.. even details of a murder .. Imagine reading a book with spoilers every few pages !! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

The way certain adverts pathologise women. Why are you associating women with inherent bladder issues? Where’s that coming from and how does that even make sense? Isn’t it stereotypical that guys piss way more than ladies?

When Entertainment is more obsessed with people's heritage or sexuality more than they are about the individual as a person.
Like I saw an interview on Sky Sports News yesterday afternoon, where the woman was tasked with interviewing an ex-Footballer about him having Indian heritage. Yes on Sky SPORTS News, they were more obsessed with talking about an ex-Footballer having Indian heritage and racism in Football, rather than talking about his time in Football, or what were his favourite memories of his time as a player (like an actual Sports channel should be doing) but instead they did what they always do these days, which is behave like Sky News.

People who have a generic answer to everything instead of doing the work to understand narcissism and de-enable toxicity. Dr Ramani’s work is not just another delusional TikTok piety of the snowflakey times. It’s life, and the woman genuinely knows her stuff. We can all learn from her and stamp patterns like that out of our workplaces. It might be by protecting our staff more and not just enabling the troublemakers around them who are self-confessed covert narcissists, it might be by making sure everyone has a fair say in meetings. Whatever. Do what you need to do but just do not look at people and their behaviour in the most literally non-nuanced, generified way there is when there’s complexity in the situations and/or an element of discomfort or concerns that have been raised before, but haven’t been acted on or had anything done about.

Also. The assumption that people who look white but are actually partially mixed race … can’t be mixed race, and vice-versa (this idea that being mixed-race inherently makes you black, whether that’s how you identify or not). Some people are more … racially ambiguous than others but it’s not a stretch to be somewhat mixed with something (Sri Lankan, Jamaican, Igbo, Yoruba, Ibibio, Akan, Sudanese, Afro-Virginian, Native Canadian, whatever) even with blue eyes. You don’t have to look or be 50-50 mixed in the stereotypical ‘white mum, black dad’ way to be mixed.

1. This guy's voice-advertisement for UberEats and how it applies to Liverpool doing the rounds on Spotify literally every 3 minutes. It's just annoying now.
2. Your bank notifying you to add a new insight to your financial catalogue because some new money's been added to your account, meanwhile you're not a penny richer and your balance is the same. False hope on a loop.

'Back-to-back meetings? No time to sort lunch? Why not order some Caribou-Poutine, Maggie Fu or Greggs?'
Ugh. Enough already. Just shut up, dude.

It's no scam. It's just Santander being stupid and giving people false hope. Notifications like that pop up sometimes. For whatever reason.

There's a part of me what detests Emmerdale but it fills a void on weeknights and is just another option for cosy entertainment on those Fridays so I do watch it. But it's only EastEnders, Corrie and (to an extent) Waterloo Road that I'm serious about as far as soap goes. Maybe Holby City but yeah. I like some elements of Emmerdale but it's a show that's tried to do EastEnders dirty so many times over the years and until the 2010s it lacked the grit that EastEnders and to an extent even Corrie had in at least some spades. I like cosy and comfy and I'm not totally adverse to the odd 'plane-crash (or whatever next stupid stunt Emerdale usually has planned) but it has to be based in a certain heaviness and grit. Nothing in Emmerdale really seems to follow from that as directly as EastEnders and Corrie do so it's not a show I take super-seriously. I just watch it, and not even regularly up-until the 50th anniversary (2 years ago). Classic Emmerdale (they show repeats of that and Corrie on ITVX) is supposed to be in a good era for the show (2004-early 2005) at the moment but on the off-chance that I tune in I just don't see this quality people have spoken of. Farm politics just don't appeal to me. It's all very boring and dull.

Major ting. People taking Samaritans as a sex chat line. Pervy, overly horny middle-aged men just cannot give it a rest. They spoil a lot for people. And exploiting a helpline for people in distress because you’re horny is just another level of low.

Maybe I'm mentally still stuck in my teens when it comes to that kind of stuff, because I'm about four things. 1. A pretty face 2. The figure 3. What is she wearing? And 4. What isn't she wearing? ![]() Obviously this is why I don't have a girlfriend. ![]() And just to clarify, I agree with you that people shouldn't be using a suicide helpline for sexual gratification, that's just... Gross. ![]()
