Really minor annoyances

BiG said:
I’ve just channel surf/clicked onto Britain’s Got Talent. Some lass is singing River Deep, Mountain High. And it went :

“When I was a little girl, I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say“

So, in their desperation to edit the song …in the way all ‘talent’ shows cater for very short attention spans so a song lasts for 90 seconds and they get to the high note as quickly as they can so the audience can clap and cheer in the middle of it… they cut a couple of lines of lyric out of the song.

And now the little girl had a rag doll that got stronger every day.

It’s a minor irritation.

I'd be more concerned about the deeper TBF.

It's pointless watching shows like that. You can't appreciate the actual acts due to the audience whooping and clapping throughout the performance. You get several shots of random people in the audience, the judges commenting to each other about the act, Ant or Dec with a cheesy quip, shots of the friends/family watching backstage and so on. Someone sent me a clip of a young boy playing rock music on an electric guitar. I just wanted to listen to him for a couple of minutes but it wasn't possible to fully appreciate his talent.

My dearest Mama spends 59 minutes on the phone telling me inconsequential shite about people I either don't know or don't care about, then she'll say how are you, but be quick I've only got a minute of free phone left.
 
“I see you. OK. Do your dance. OK. Do your thing. OK. Let me see you cherry hill. Uh. Yeah. Now take it back. Let me see you. Uh. Rock on. Rock on. Uh. Shake off. Shake off. Let me see you. …”

etc.

They don’t write em like that anymore do they?

I think stories about people you don’t know must be something that increases with age. My mam can not answer a question quickly without telling me all about someone or another.

When visiting at Easter we started watching a Would I Lie To You with the kids and I had to pause it, because it reminded her that one of her friends didn’t like the show and he said…….

Yeh. See mine maybe 4 times a year. Every time is a bit of a surprise. Not sure why but suppose time and ageing hurry rapidly between trips up when someone's in their late 70s

When you put it like 20 years behind that's terrifying!
