Osman became embroiled in this tat because in his role as Creative Director at Endemol UK he was on the team that created a quiz format called "Obviously" which was commissioned by the BBC as "pointless" he appears on screen as he did that role when they had a run through to demonstrate the format to the BBC and they suggested he continued that role on screen.

And if you can't get hold of the thrust of the game Pointless, how do you cope with difficult things like tying your shoelaces?

Oh, and instead of waiting for the news watching pointless, you could go to ITV+1 and catch the end of tipping point, that's an even simpler format and will redefine your opinions of gormless. Or you could sit down to watch the news bang on 6pm, it's never going to come on early, and modern TVs don't need to warm up as the old ones did.
... and breathe.

When people say they don't like something but then tell you all the exceptions to that fact which means they do like it but just not every single thing about it and cannot understand that distinction.

Oh, don't you worry! I don't sit watching it for 15 minutes - I play a recording of You've Been Framed until the news comes on. That's probably why I don't get the thrust of it!

People asking 'can I help you' when I am taking scenic photos of a church or similar. They call from in their garden of from a car with a wound down window. I'm not really sure what they want - certainly I don't look like I need help. Is someone quietly taking a photo of a church or village pond really looking like they need help? I just say no thanks, leaving them looking at me like they want to keep pushing with 'help'.

Ah well, if you don't see so much of it, it won't really make sense then, it barely makes sense if you watch it all.

Depends how they are presenting the footage. If they are highlighting dangerous activity of other road users then power to them. I wish more people would do it.

Shaming and Immortalising someone on (for example) YouTube because they did some dangerous is all well and good until you or a loved one end up on YouTube doing something dangerous. Although of course it's only other people that screw up, never you, right? Wrong!! The roads would be a friendlier place if they weren't full of angry vengeful glory hunters.

When I'm out on a walk or bike ride and take out an OS map, strangers who come up to me and smugly say "Are you lost"?

NO I'm not! I know exactly where I am, I'm just curious to see what else is nearby and where else I can go next on my walk or bike ride! Keep your fecking nose out!

When we get asked that question in a shop my husband always replies "a fiver from the till would be nice." Yet to receive one though.

People who spit when they speak
I know they can't help it but not very nice when it's your dinner
Just as well we can't see the cooks in the kitchen who must be constantly spitting over your food as they shout to each other, that and all the skin flakes, hairs and bogies......

My colleagues. I've never met such an irritating bunch. I've so far tried to be friendly or at least neutral but one day I'm going to explode.

There's the ringleader who only ever talks about her boyfriend or herself. Given that we've never once met her partner it is doubly pointless of her to tell us about every breath he takes.
She will bitch about anyone and everyone, and has this idea in her head that she looks like Scarlet Johannsen when in reality she is very plain if not average. As soon as your back is turned she'll make a remark like 'she/he is a minger because *her eyes are too small (wtf), *her nose sticks out , *his skin isn't clear ' stupid things like that. How I long for the day I can call her a minger because of her pimples on her eyelids/face.
She is a control freak who talks others down. The worst is when she tells us about her sex life with her boring boyfriend. Some things you don't need to hear.

There's this other colleague who must be lonely cus he likes flirting with her at our desk. Tickling and biting her - it's like for gods sake man you're nearly 30. Pretty much every woman that enters our venue is 'fit' in his eyes and when he's not out back smoking weed he spends his time proclaiming which 'birds he would bang' by scrolling through strangers social media profiles. (He should be so lucky. Tho I do find it amusing when very average looking people end up being the most shallow). He also thinks the man is trying to oppress him and he lies about things to make himself seem vicitimised. He's usually off his face on something and stinks of weed.

Then there's the one they named the hoover. My god all she does is eat constantly and apply make up. She must apply about 6 layers of foundation in work and she talks with her mouth full, smears make up all over our equipment and honestly is the most vapid person I've ever met. Unless you talk about food or make up she does not want to know. I don't know how she does it but she thinks nothing of whipping out cakes at 10am, eating every hour and is always somehow 'starved and can't wait for lunch'.

There's one ok colleague although he can be a bit annoying when egged on by the others. He's v. young so I can forgive him although I did find him trying to burst his blackheads/spots at our desk yesterday, yuck.

I feel better getting that off my chest.

The countdown clock at the beginning of the BBC News, where the tenths of a second digit only ever shows 0, 1 or 2.

Is it supposed to be a frame counter? (guessing, haven't seen it).

Waitrose wholewheat penne pasta.

I used to regularly eat sainsburys wholewheat penne pasta 5 or so years ago before eventually returning to the tastier white pasta. Then recently I decided to try wholewheat again in an attempt to be healthier, and that's when I tried the aforementioned waitrose stuff. Well the waitrose wholewheat penne pasta is rank, it tastes too wholewheaty. You have to add so much sauce and cheese to mask the taste that it ends up less healthy than white pasta. I don't know if something can be more wholewheaty than wholewheat but the Waitrose one has put me off wholewheat pasta for life.

Tesco's cafeteria used to sell macaroni cheese from big trays dished up by the big spoon full, last time I went it was cooked in little, and I mean little, individual portion ramekins, not only a tiny portion but all dried out from being baked in such a small pot! Outrageous, will never eat there again!
