We live in a world where millions tune in to watch idiots perform like monkeys on a Saturday evening, while Simon Cowell counts his billions, and Piers Morgan is one of the highest paid TV presenters on the planet

Don't try and understand it sweet-cheeks. It only encourages them

Mum is successful journalist, Eve Pollard. That'd be a good boost for her surely. But for what it's worth, she seems like a perfectly capable presenter and is quite a nice person by all accounts. These kinds of people should succeed in life.

Well, he isn't now but he was when the song was written.

I love Claud. The wife knows if I had the choice she'd be out on her ear. She is fine with this, as it's unlikely in the extreme.

..and given that that simpering pile of pungent effluent is even given the opportunity to pollute the airwaves there's hee-haw point in trying to understand anything

Oi! Prawny, get in the queue..
Claudia is quite lovely IMO. She is a competant presenter of TV and Radio and comes across as quite normal when interviewed.

There are far more people on TV for you to question the existance/pre-eminence of above Claudia.

I don't understand the Dancing show thing "Come on GTF!"

Claudia Winkleman - well it's all in the goofiness I suppose, I saw the dancing thing the other day, you can see someone told her to cut her fringe so she can see what is going on.

How the Moon stays “up there”^^^

The following explanation is wrong in a number of ways, but I hope you get a feel for it:

1. Put a weight on a bit of string and gently spin it around (don't hit yourself or anyone else).

2. Do you feel the weight pulling-away at your hand? That is the "spinning" energy you imparted. The moon has a lot of that. (If you stop spinning, the weight falls toward Earth; if the moon span slower, it would fall to Earth).

3. You are resisting it flying-away through holding the string and that is like the effect of gravity between Earth and Moon. The gravity is acting through "invisible string". (if you let go of the string, it will fly-away; if gravity "failed", the moon would fly away)

4. Because the moon's spinning and the gravity are in equilibrium (balanced), the Moon is a satellite body i.e. it neither falls to Earth, not pulls away.

5. Actually, but not noticeably to us, the moon is so large that the moon does not spin around the centre of the Earth - they spin around each other: "Considering the Earth–Moon system as a binary planet, their mutual centre of gravity is within the Earth, about 4624 km from its centre". That is a slightly odd thought to the normal Earth-centric paradigm!

OK?

[now get a physicist to explain this properly]

I don't understand that you don't understand that I thought a 29er that was 9 years more developed than the first one I had might be better.

I like Claudia Winkleman, along with Sara Cox they'd make up my very kooky and slightly odd fantasy 3-some.
I like women who dont take themselves too seriously and can have a laugh.

Salad. Hateful stuff.

How people can't see that chips and gravy are just so right.

Veggies don't eat fish. You don't need to not understand something that doesn't exist?

Claudia however is gurt lush.

On the shelf in Tesco = it's called a chicken

I also don't understand why male youths of today sport this weird outfit of drainpipe jeans that look like they fit a person two foot shorter than the lad actually wearing them.

It mainly seems to function to give the appearance of a fat arse located by their knees. Odd, just odd.

iLove

EDIT - oh, and my OH really dislikes Claudia Winkleman. I think she's great. Doesn't mind having a laugh, seems quite down to earth and funny. Could imagine nipping down the pub with her for a pint and having a reet good time.

Gravy on chips is ok but only if you've run out of curry sauce.

Curry sauce on chips is absolutely ace.

However, is it me or do no chip shops north of the Watford Gap understand what a saveloy is?

I think they understand perfectly well what a saveloy is.
Which is why they don't sell them. 🙂

People who queue/rush to board a plane when they have a pre-assigned seat, are going to be stuck in the plane for hours, and are going to get to the destination at the same time.

How the Moon stays “up there”

It's moving forward and falling towards the earth at the same rate the earth is disappearing around its own curve.
