    Getting a bit fed up with 'reverse sexism' on the media (well the BBC actually)

    You could say the same for pregnancy though.

    Favourite Monty Python Actor

    Same could be said of any of them, the sum was greater than the parts. I always thought Eric Idles face was just funny.

    Getting a bit fed up with 'reverse sexism' on the media (well the BBC actually)

    To be fair, I probably didn't think that through before supporting Top Gear - I couldn't stand it.

    Getting a bit fed up with 'reverse sexism' on the media (well the BBC actually)

    Top Gear was nothing like it. It may have been mostly aimed at men, but it never slagged off women as far as I recall (just Argies, Koreans, Germans and any other place they visited).

    Getting a bit fed up with 'reverse sexism' on the media (well the BBC actually)

    5 mins straight - you don't think I'd ever go back for more, do you ? I only lasted 5 mins because I couldn't believe what I was hearing and had to make sure it wasn't some sort of "comedy" routine

    Getting a bit fed up with 'reverse sexism' on the media (well the BBC actually)

    I was once unfortunate enough to see 5 mins of Loose Women - it was just anti-male vitriol the whole time, none of which they would have got away with if they were men talking about women. Just the way it is sadly, there is no level playing field.

    Blimey... I always thought Daphne was the one to look out for...

    Doesn't sound good but I can't know everybodys' backstory in order to make a bit of judgement about them, you have to go on face value, at least initially. I'm completely comfortable that if I met him, it might turn out that I liked him, who knows, I'd be happy to change my mind and admit to...

    Blimey... I always thought Daphne was the one to look out for...

    Don't like the bloke, always far too smug. Still, sounds like self-defence to me, won't go anywhere but might sell a few more books, I suppose.

    Great British Bake Off: BBC loses rights to Channel 4

    Contracts with the people is a completely different thing, all they bought is the rights to the show, the format and the name. If they can't tie down the on-screen talent, that's their fault. Hollywood is cashing in and presumably will made a fortune. Maybe C4 were banking on their loyalty to...

    [News] Do you smoke?

    Well, if you want to see my cancer scars, hear how I had to crap into a colostomy bag for a year, witness my kidney dialysis and see the drugs I need to take, you're welcome - it might just put you off (though technically my cancer probably wasn't smoking related, but it's still the results of...

    [News] Do you smoke?

    No, but I've had cancer twice ! Good news it's down, but quite surprised it's still that high - I don't think there is any excuse these days for people to continue smoking.

    2015 -How Many People Do You Have On Your Ignore List

    I'm not usually in the "ban it !" camp, I tend to like to let people speak and make fools of themselves, however, I have had 1 on my ignore list for a long time, I'm just not interested in anything he has to say .... mentioning no names (Return of the Rev). Ok, I did mention it.

    Brownlee brothers, World Triathlon Series

    Quite spectacular for someone so experienced. As touching as it was, would have thought it would be against the rules, but apparently not.

    Food quiz.

    14/15 - no guesses, just fell at the pizza dough/taco dough hurdle.

    Mobile Phones and Driving.

    Out of interest, when was the last time you saw a police car out on rounds and not speeding off to some other incident. When I started driving in the early 80s, they would lie in wait all over the place - I don't think I've seen one for maybe 20 years. No wonder people start to ignore the law.

    Mobile Phones and Driving.

    While I agree with the sentiment, would it work for people who are working while driving ? What about cabs etc.

    Mobile Phones and Driving.

    I would say, whilst driving about, you see someone driving while on the phone every 2 minutes, it is so commonplace. The penalties should be much higher, an instant ban for 28 days might help. It's not difficult, I keep my phone in my trousers pocket - I couldn't get it out if I wanted to...

    Celebrities that most people think are dead but are alive as of today 9/9/2016

    Would have been better for me, I think. Sorry, but in my book the term "celebrity" is an insult, it is used for people who may be in the public eye, but have zero discernible skills. If they are a musician, then call them a musician, not a celebrity. I don't watch any program with "celebrity" in...

    Celebrities that most people think are dead but are alive as of today 9/9/2016

    ... or indeed Frank Williams the wheel-chair bound owner of Williams F1 racing.

    Celebrities that most people think are dead but are alive as of today 9/9/2016

    An interesting left-field choice - do you know something, he can't be much more than 50. I wouldn't have thought he lived a particularly rock-and-roll lifestyle, but could be wrong.
