I've got the TV on in the background, not really paying attention, when I hear what sounds like a male-female folk duo. And as I listen, I hear the words 'Simplicity Cremations, way to go, way to go'.
It's an advert for cremation payment plans!
It's the most bizarre thing I've ever seen!

Thought of something that will come in useful. 'Halfords will have them', I thought to myself.

#EastEnders people, I am way behind and catching up.
But I accidentally deleted the episode after the one where Vicki pushed over the scummy guy in the launderette. Did I miss much? Mention has been made of a row with Kathy, and Ravi has clearly had a beating. And Zoe going on about reviews?

M1 earlier. 70mph in lane 1, rapidly gaining on cars in lane 2 *and* 3. Deciding to do things properly, signalled, moved across to lane 4, passed them both, back to lane 1, without decelerating at all. Thought that might make them realise that they should move over...but remained oblivious in 2 & 3.

I absolutely stand to be corrected, but was there any condemnation of Paul Doyle from the usual right-wing mouthpieces? I certainly don't recall seeing anything...

Neighbours have been having some building work done, it's taken quite a while. They asked what my favourite drink is. I don't drink a lot of spirits, but have a favourite beer. Very difficult to find, to the point that I haven't had any for about three years.

A record 799 club appearances (the last at 41 years old), twice FA Cup winning captain, four times Hammer Of The Year, first West Ham lifetime achievement award, voted greatest West Ham player of all time, stand named after him.
