Here are some observations about this evening's TV viewing:
1. Gok Wan really grates on me when he says "literally" he says it too much.
2. Norwich Union, sorry Aviva, have had to make redundancies, it must be comforting for the former employees to see the adverts starring George Harrison, Alice Cooper, Dame Edna and Bruce Willis talking about their name changes. It must have cost a small fortune in fees for George Harrison alone, I cannot imagine what a kick in the teeth those adverts are for the former employees.
3. The Hospital, this programme is actually making my blood boil, there's the deliberately obstructive overweight, smoking teenage girl pregnant because she was having issues in school and wanted to have something to turn her attentions to, pregnant a month into her relationship initially thinking that once she was pregnant "he [the father] could just go away", oh and she won't have an injection to prevent potentially fatal blood clots preferring instead to endanger her life and her baby's life. I don't want children, it's not something I feel a need to do but I seriously hope if I were ever to get pregnant I wouldn't behave like such an idiot. Don't even get me started on a girl's response to the question of whether she was using contraception "I'd been with him for a long time so I didn't really think I could get pregnant". That's half an hour in, another half to go and I just know I will be shouting at the TV before this finishes.
That is all, sorry, rant over. I think I may be a little irritable today. I wasn't until I switched on the television, maybe I should stick to Radio 4.
