PeteMorris Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I was listening to radio 2 this morning with Zoe Ball sitting in for Chris Evans. She was doing a thing about inexplicable or bizarre rituals in everyday life. So I wondered what Sheffielders would come up with. My particular one is, when I'm making a cuppa, I always use teabags and I 'have' to agitate (no I don't mean annoy) the teabag 50 times. No more and no less. I physically count it in my head. I have no idea why. I just do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteMorris Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Oh, I just thought of something else. I never fasten the seat belt in my car until it's actually moving! That's 'as soon as' it's moving, not half a mile down the road. No idea why I do that either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil-minx92 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Without fail when my mum gets up the first thing she does is put a stick of paper packed with shredded leaves in her gob, set it on fire and inhale the smoke Bizzare:huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owethemnowt Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Is that the same Zoe Ball whose dad is Johnny Ball? The former Butlins entertainer who had a talent for maths and made it through ...er .... talent on to TV. Quite good too. And she just happens to be his connected daughter who wants to be 'famous' and so gets jobs on TV and radio. Then there's Chris Evans. A prat, £12m on a car, but still the laddish humour. Then there's the 'rituals' from bored presenters no longer challenged as we're all too dumb to reject the instantly thrown together rubbish that entertains us. I thought local radio was bad with it's banal phone ins and what London Road was like 30 years ago but radio two? Can't make it geogreaphical so lets go for something they, the plebs, can go with: worst haircuts, largest feet or daily ritual. That'll do. And as for the rest of 'caring' radio that picks up on a news item and runs a two hour discussion then dumps it. never to return as tomorrow it's a train crash, shooting, strike, hospital closure, foul mouthed MP or speeding policeman. Froth. Entertainment in the back ground. I hate the nepotism that dumbs down our media, Correns daughter, Tarbucks daughter; take a moment to check how many are related and gifted the jobs through family connections. Mccartneys sprog. 'I'll be an international fashion designer'. Yeah. Class system. Money. Power. Welcome to Britain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
