Daily Star's 'Text Maniacs' returns with unedited messages from readers, covering everything from cinema cleanliness to political commentary and breakfast humor.
Cinema Litter Disgust
A pensioner expressed disgust at the state of a cinema after a film, noting younger patrons left rubbish like popcorn wrappers and empty boxes strewn on the floor. The reader lamented the loss of the adage to leave a place as you find it, wondering what their homes are like. They acknowledged it's not all young people but argued it should not be even 1%.
Road Safety and Politics
Sam Saunders from Walsall criticized the Prime Minister over recent deaths and questioned the push to remove over-70s from the road, suggesting instead that young drivers should not drive until age 25. Another reader, Bobby, asked what Andy Burnham can do about drowning when people ignore notices. LAWMAN praised Andy Burnham's representation of the UK in Ukraine and his support for Storm Shadow, commenting on Putin's rhetoric and the desire to reunite the USSR.
Smoking, Breakfast, and Cricket
Eddy F asked whether smoking should be allowed back in pubs, suggesting it should be the landlord's decision. Breakfast jokes included Big Les's tale of a cracked plate being blamed on bacon and Tony from Worksop's story of waiting until 4 pm for an 'all day breakfast'. Brian Linford from Pontefract noted Ben Stokes' recent performance for Durham, with 455 first-class and 352 international wickets. Geoff Durham asked if Josh Tongue and Ollie Robinson each taking five wickets in one Test innings was a first.
Bantaman declared Abigail Morris as the best female vocalist, with others like Emily Roberts and Lizzie Mayland in joint second. The joke of the day involved a hotel wake-up call with an unexpected response. Readers can text DSTAR to 63333 at 50p plus network rate.
