What is hacking you off today?

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Sounds like you should have ordered online

I don't think I would have qualified as my order was £2.39 in total. I've never used a food app. Anyone used them? Is there a minimum of a fiver or something?

So yesterday I fancied a cheeky McDonalds for a change. Fries and a chicken mayo, drive through. It was the one at Garons at the end of Hamstel Road. It was tea time, but the car queue was longer than usual down the road outside. What was causing the hold up? It was all the fast food delivery drivers in their own cars. There was about 25 of them, some inside, most outside near the front door, a lot of them chatting, no mask, all waiting for their orders to be delivered. You know, Just Eat, etc, etc. They were not in the drive through queue by the way, as they whizz past our queue. These delivery drivers park everywhere inside and out. The disabled bays being one of the favourites(I'm sure they're told not to by McDonalds). I finally get to the front of my car queue, place my order, and told to wait(if I can find a space) in the car park. I had to wait about another 15 minutes for my simple order. So, fast food it was not, as it took about 40 minutes in total. It didn't make me angry as I'm very patient, but I think their system's gone wrong somewhere with all these online app orders.

A friend of mine who lived just around the corner had his Father in law visit and decided wanted something to eat, being late and restaurant shut decided to walk through the drive thru only to be told they coudn't serve him because he didn't have a car! ?

Quite right: Essex has no mountains.

The ****ing NFL Super Bowl. I have absolutely no interest in American Football and it ****es me off no end that my BBC licence money is spent on extensive coverage of this colonial sports final. Watching Dan Walker with two no-mark yanks dribbling about the game on a football Saturday is outrageous. And before anyone tells me it's terrific I don't ****ing care what you think of it. Pah

Absolutely with you there, I hate the sport but strangely I really enjoy films and programmes about American Football!

The apps although handy can be a bit of a rip off. I got charged £5.99 for a delivery once of Nandos. It arrived and the chips were cold. Same often happens with the McDonalds. If it’s achievable without breaking guidelines and you can tie it in with a essential shopping trip just go through the drive through. We use Just Eat for our local Chippy though and that has always come hot and good quality, they delivery charge is good too. Unfortunately the McDonalds we have ordered through apps is often a let down. The chips are never nice!

That coupled with the only two events they have live coverage left are snooker and tennis sums the BBC up?

That's because they have been paying much too much money to all the heads of the BBC and to their celebrities and presenters. Didn't they pay Jonathan Ross £6Million for him to present his show 2009? Bonkers. He said he would have done it for £1Million when asked, but joked, who would refuse money that's being thrown at them. They've openly admitted that after paying all the salaries of everyone, there's not much left in the pot for live sports.

The BBC have coverage of the NFL as the NFL sees giving them coverage on the cheap as a way of growing the sport. The ECB should take note.

It will be some of the cheapest programming that the BBC has. The actual footage is provided to them and all they need to do is have a presenter in a studio with two experts talking about it. Contrast that to Wimbledon when the BBC pay a premium for exclusive footage (Sky also show the Super Bowl), then need multiple camera crews to film it etc.

It has an Olympic mountain bike course though...

I promised my kids heavy snow and the weather forecasters broke that promise.

Marlborough Construction have just finished the first day of installing our vehicle crossing just under 5 months since we started the process. At least it's now being done.

They are due to lift the covering boards over the concrete bit on Thursday, and before that tarmac the pavement part. The tarmac is due Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. I reckon there is a very good chance that none of this will now happen because of the snow. Hey ho, another week then probably. I'd just like to say bollocks!!

I've never truly understood why words like bollocks and arse manage to escape the swear filter, but I'm glad they do as they're my favourites at times of stress on here.

Played the game for a few years, wonderful game, not just men throwing themselves at someone. You should go to a game with someone who will talk you through the tactics and get a better understanding of the game

Superbowl final this was exceptional and great to see a legend in any sport like Tom Brady lift the trophy again

Now Rugby union dont get me started on that called a sport .....
