Shouting at the telly

First off, when I started this blog, I thought it would be the right thing to do to use international words, meaning words that the yanks would understand.
I.e, ass, not arse, or even bottom. Or, tomato not tomato, and of course TV, not telly. Well sod it, I've changed my mind ,if you don't understand , gowd blimey guvner, sod off.

So I have been shouting at the telly again. I do this a lot. They are trying to dumb us down, bring us down to there level and I'm not having it. Today DIY programs are on the receiving end.

Right, it seems to have spread, but who first started calling rooms 'spaces'. On every home improvement/make-over program its the same, they go into a room/garden/barn/field/small island and what's the first thing they say...Oh, what a lovely space.
That kicks it off for me. Rooms/gardens/barns/fields/small bloody islands have spaces within them, they are not spaces in them selves.
If bloody Laurence Lllyellen Silly Cuff's or Sahara Beanbag, or that one off the DFS advert ever go into a house and say...mmm nice living room, nice kitchen or lovely bathroom, my hat is eaten. I think the temperature of my head is safe.

While I write this, having mentioned bathrooms, I was wondering if anyone else has ever considered this to the extent I have.
Anyone got one of those shower puff things ?, you know the unfurled pot cleaner thingy. I,m sure like me you do. You cant have a sponge or a flannel these days, you can't buy such things nowadays, unless from Halfords and they have ' car washer ' written on them.
Is this the most common showering procedure....Put shower gel on puff ( lets not go down the soap road....) work up a good lather on chest ( or pubic area) then wash face, arms, legs in that order then arse. You obviously wouldn't wash the old back door first would you, it has to be last.
So, next day its in the shower again, where did you last wash with that thing.......

Anyway, that's a deviation from the telly shouting. Has anyone else noticed/get bugged, by the space thing . Maybe you never noticed . Bet you do now.


This rant is not intended to cause offence to the Yanks, or the ever pregnant Sahara Beanbag, who is welcome in my space anytime she likes.
