There was supposed to be a review of Norah Jones’ gig at the Manchester Apollo this morning. Unfortunately, someone failed to deliver on their offer of free tickets, and so the missus and I ended up at home drinking tea and watching University Challenge instead (I knew the answer to three whole questions this week, including at least one which wasn’t about science. I’m so proud.)
Anyway, I vaguely recall being told that I’d have loads of things to write about today, and the law of sod therefore dictates that I can’t remember a single one of them. Never mind.
Excerpt from today’s big list of people who’ve annoyed me:
- Every single person on the M56
- Especially those who change lanes without indicating
- And lorries who pull out to overtake the lorry in front of them because their speed limiter is set a whole 0.2mph higher than the one in front, blocking two lanes of the motorway and ensuring that the 70 year old doing 50 miles an hour in the middle lane is shoved to the outside an holds the entire carriageway up
- The inventor of the alarm clock. Thank you very much. Now I have no excuse for oversleeping
It’s not just me who finds UC questions really difficult then? was it the crossword compilers this week? There were 3 Guardian ones on the team, apparently.
