The BBC repeating editions of Pointless from just a few months ago. The programme has run for over 11 years, they should have plenty more in their back catalogue.
Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

Why with all the funds they get are they running repeats at presumably prime time TV, I suspect somebody is paying the 'stars' too much money

Ditto pre recorded programmes in radio esp R2.
Why not get new talent from the regions and give them airtime rather than Tony Blackburn etc.
I love tuning into different stations as I drive south, African Carribbean from Leicester, new forest FM etc...
R2 sounds so samey.

Apparently you're not meant to rinse your mouth after brushing so the toothpaste or fluoride can do it's job.
Still was the amusing one with the faulty question of name the cities where the cyclists are. Hardly surprising Harrogate was the lowest score as it's not a city and anyone questioned would probably have thought it was a photo of somewhere that looked like there.

Ah yes, I've been meaning to post that question. Some time ago I used to rinse my mouth until there was no tooth paste left but these days it's just one rinse so I still feel a taste of paste.
Some people that I know insist on having the level of Niagara Falls running during the final 2 minutes of them brushing their teeth. It's most irksome.

I do the Niagara Falls thing PRE-brushing. In fact I do it pre-floss-pick, pre-interdental brushing. I squeeze a mouthful of water around for about 30 seconds to loosen any food scraps that need loosening, spit that out, then floss-pick, then interdental-brush, and finally use an electric toothbrush. At the end, I spit out most of the toothpaste, leaving just a thin coat for the fluoride.
If I had been doing all of that regularly for the past 50 years, I would probably have a lot more teeth left than I do now!

Do they have soap operas in Germany and what type of cheese is the most popular there?🤔

Watching an internet video from Australia I saw a home had a caged, native to the country parrot. The bird was on a perch looking out the window as if to say i wish I was out there, not in this thing! It's like me capturing a starling or a blackbird for example and keeping it in a two foot wide cage.

I expect we do have soap operas, and I expect they're awful.
As for cheese, there's all kinds of variations. Gouda and Emmental seem common.

Could be. Not having a TV means I'm ignorant of German soap operas, game shows and the local version of "Strictly come dancing".
I seem to have survived for 20 years without the influence of this high level culture.

Careless media with no real knowledge. BBC reports from Murrayshire which does not exist.
Morayshire does exist. Sounds similar but that is all.
There are other examples which I find irritating as it shows that anywhere outside London is of no importance and no need to get it right.

Why do Persil hire people for their ads, that think there's an "H" in capsule ?
