Daily Star readers have had their say on a range of topics, from wealth and driving to heatwaves and football. Here are the best messages from this week's Text Maniacs.
Wealth and Society
Firebird took aim at millionaires, saying: "No disrespect to those that built their wealth on brains & talent, plus those living comfortably on their earnings or saved pensions & savings, but there are people who are arrogant, greedy, selfish & self effacing. But on the lower end of the scale i hear of people caring for unfortunate people queuing up for a drink & a food bank, for anyone of race, creed, colour, religion, people who give their time to help with finance or food, those are the people i am proud of not your millionaires that do not give a f##k about anyone else, except their next demand for more millions, you die & cant take with you."
Young Drivers
BOSS BOOTS complained about young drivers, writing: "Well said Sam Saunders, I totally agree. We are 70’s young, clean licences why should we be punished when a boy just passed testcrashes in Wales tragically no survivors. Our front wall was destroyed twice by reckless YOUNG drivers. Who’s paying for the test cos I’m not."
Early Release
Roy commented on early release prisoners: "People complaining about early release prisoners shud blame CPS, judiciary n politicians etc for knee jerk OTT ludicrous getting longer sentences."
Keyboard Warriors
Bigbob responded to a previous letter: "re john challenger, i bet he would’nt have the balls to stand in a city centre and say that, keyboard warrior yokel."
Heatwave Anxiety
TETS dismissed the idea of heatwave anxiety: "just read about somebody who allegedly has “HEATWAVE ANXIETY “..what rubbish... firstly what we deem “heatwaves” then I take it this adult does realise the SUN IS HOT??"
Political Correctness
RR joked: "Bill shredder, if we all met in a public place and did the funky gibbon, the wokes would go mental, you can’t even throw black pudding any more."
Cheese Car
LAURENCE had a light-hearted suggestion: "What a brilliant idea - a car made from cheese. At least if you break down in the middle of bowhere you could eat the dam thing."
Family Fun
Tony from Worksop shared: "my dads brother has half a head half an arm and half a leg were going on stars in your eyes as simon and half uncle !"
Boycott and Football
Lawman pointed out: "Boycott to pull out of football World Cup. You do know Geoffrey Boycott was a cricketer, right?"
People Pleasers
Andy Rimmer from Prestondon wrote: "‘I’m a people pleaser!’ ‘...Like hell you are!’ ‘Please yourself!’"
Political Musings
Bill Shredder commented: "don’t really trust this new bloke who’s Prime Minister. Apparently he’s too handy at burning ham...!"
Football Transfers
Brian Linford from Pontefract noted: "Jordan Henderson amazingly has left Brentford on a free transfer and joins Chelsea Post W/C squad former Saudi and Holland leagues. Jordan like Benjamin Button has a charmed life!"
FIFA and Trump
Billy wrote: "trump will put his name in the hat for gianni infantino job he is into every thing else." Anon added: "Fifa President can get a job as Trump’s golf caddie."
Harry John had a dig at the World Cup: "I hope Gianni Infantino steps down, as you hear about people who put cash aside for a house deposit, only for them to spend it on a World Cup ticket. That must be a Titan effort for any mortal. The average English football fan does not have the Midas touch."
Joke of the Day
Fran Mcmahon from Liverpool shared: "I’ve just checked my home insurance policy! and apparently if my duvet is stolen in the middle of the night, I’m not covered…"
