Ultracat - Yes. I've seen that on the BBC news website. An overrated pub singer cancels her gigs - So what?!

While I'm here; another thing that I find annoying. That woman from Gavin and Stacey (the blonde one). She does voice-overs for some adverts (furniture I think). Her voice grates and is so irritating.

[Don't care about her accent - it's the squeaky tone that makes me reach for the mute button. It really grates.]

She does voice over for a mattress company. Her voice is hardly one I associate with getting a comfortable night's sleep.

I like Welsh accents but find her voice too harsh and squeaky.

The Eggheads team members sit far too close together. Whatever happened to personal space?!

I've often thought the same JK. It's not her accent (not Welsh myself but have lived in Wales for many years), it's the pitch and tone of her voice that really grates. She someone manages to be both nasal and high-pitched at the same time.

Parcelforce tracker states their driver left the depot with my package at 10.04 am this morning. Nine hours later and still not arrived. How many parcels can you fit in a van that it takes that long to arrive? If there is an issue, tell me!

Could have been easier from me to go to their depot and collect it in person.
