So what's classed as essential?

A friend of mine said that this will be a 'wasted year.'

Listening to radio 4

Not any more it doesn't. British radio, and more so TV, is entirely aimed at thick people. Lowest common denominator stuff. Everything is low-brow now. Spoken word radio must have something politically-correct mentioned every 10 seconds; music radio is diabolical, and television now seems to be all cookery and cake baking, with sugar plum fairy cello music in the background.

OFF!

I don't exactly watch the crap TV shows; I'm sometimes in the same room when they are on. I do watch a lot of old TV shows and films, on YouTube, Talking Pictures and BBC Iplayer, Also, BBCs "Alba" channel is great.

I play a game with Radio 4: Switch it on and see how long it takes for them to mention one of their lunatic interests: sex-change vicars / how bad the tories are / how bad Brexit is / how bad Trump is / how bad Britain and its history is / how great muslims are. It's usually less then 30 seconds. Radio 4 should be shut down.

So you only want confirmation bias then.

Its best if you stick to the daily mail.

What has confirmation bias to do with listening to a sex change bloke whinging after the op,,,,that he cannot pull and shag woman,,,and blaming the NHS FFS,,,,,Does he need it spelling out,,,shagging females might be tricky with no côk.....,,,when the bloke is obviously a complete feked up screwballllllll...Typical radio 4

Enjoyed that, thanks! They'll have to get rid of him soon though - he sounds white, never mentioned tory cuts or gender dysphoria, and never once used the phrase "issues around".

cabbage, apple.

Don't buy or wash in disinfectant. This area is a bit tough to manage.

Is going to go pick up a new car an essential journey?
