3 things that annoyed me this morning:
Switched on the radio, they were playing the new placebo song. Listened for a bit, thinking 'actually, this is ok'. Then I thought about it and realised that this is their 6th album and they are still pumping out exactly the same tunes they started with, but without any of the edgy, angsty feeling that made them good. As Shawn Keaveny put it 'the never-ending whine'. Exactly.
Then he played toploader.
Then the news that apparently 'all women should be taking folic acid' because there has been an increase in spina bifida in scotland. Note, not 'if you are likely in any way shape or form to have a baby you should take folic acid', no, it's 'all women' because we cannot be trusted to know our own minds about our sneaky, sneaky bodies, and clearly adding it to breakfast cereals and bread without asking us isn't working, so never mind if it might give you cancer, better start taking it just in case or you will be a Bad Woman.
