You and I shall never be friends  No one likes me i have no friends on this board I wouldn't go that far. You might have scared some of us at first but you're part of the fabric now. ;D 101 - is it eight to list? 1/. Zebra crossings straight after roundabouts. You've just negotiated the most complicated thing the Brisitsh road system can throw at you and are accelerating away with relief, only to have to emergency stop for a crossing. What the..? I want to drive not play Marioland thank you. 2/. Mobile phones full stop. Whenever it rings it's almost inevitably bound to stop me from doing something I want to be doing and start me doing something I don't really want to be doing. Is there an app for "throw me off a cliff?" 3/. Households where the pet is the number 1 topic of conversation. Where its every need and whim are subjected to detailed analysis. Where the visit of a stranger is fraught with the possible reactions the pet might have. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for pets.. but ever so slightly in the background please. 4/. Computer cables and add-ons. I look round PC world and all I see is what's supposed to be cutting edge plastic gizmos, knowing damn well that in ten or even five years time the same stunning items will be 25p in a car boot sale. Cables suck, constantly tripping over them, losing them, breaking them. Antiquated technology. Can I have the future now please? 5/. Crap architecture. It pains me to know that to create the 70's monstrosities we see today, vast swathes of beautiful Victorian and Georgian architecture were demolished. Now here we are just 30 years later and the 70's architecture has already in most cases reached or exceeded its shelf life. How poor is that when you really think about it? Shocking. 6/. Strong religious views. Sorry - I'm just not on that train baby. God, Vishnu, Allah, Jupiter, Zeus, Buddha, the flying spaghetti monster - it's a postcode lottery when you think about it isn't it? Which of those will you fight to the death over? Now I'm not an atheist, don't get me wrong, who can claim to be 100% certain either way? Not me. I'm not anti-religious either. It's the strong unbending views that scare me. The ones who say everyone else is wrong (and perhaps must die) if they don't believe in the one they were taught to believe in. Can. Worms. Disco. 7/. BBC3 except for Family Guy (which doesn't really count). WTF? A proving ground for new comedy yes, but how poor are some of those shows? Cringeworthy. 8/. Fakers. people who pretend to be all arty and deep when really they're the same little pumped-up vaccuous turds making a tiny amount of talent and an even smaller amount of knowledge go a very long way, thanks to the use of lots of smoke and mirrors. How these people front it out is beyond me. My sense of self-doubt stops me dead before I've even left the starting gate, yet this lot are winning race after race powered by thin air. I'm almost awestruck and impressed. Blimey is that 8 already? And I thought it would be a struggle ;D Edit - think Jill asked for a film too. Easy.. "The Dark Knight." Sorry fans. |

- Waiting for buses. Standing around waiting for a bus that is running late irritates me more than almost anything else. You'll like my new film  |

Couldn't be arsed to read the 13-page thread, so apologies for any duplication. My nomination: Fat jobless cunts who light up at the exit of a supermarket. Or hospital. They really piss me off. And none of them can spell properly, either, you noticed that? And they swear in front of your normal kids. Just think - the first breath of fresh air your new baby breathes is tainted by fag-ash betty and her latest nob-jockey.
I've just been delivering Yellow Pages beause there's no work anywhere else in this shit-hole island, and the YP 'organisers' would make cracking 'gormless fucking idiots' in any zombie film Shane might wish to make. Enquiries to Birmingham Yellow Pages distributor sonder-battalionen. I'm not in a good mood, by the way.

I'm not in a good mood, by the way. No shit sherlock  I used to work for Yellow Pages. Debt Management department, Reading. Two years in suspended animation in a nation where those of us who aren't moving are nearly dead, it's said. I wouldn't go that far, but the corporate ladder is badder than any kicking you might be wishing to give yourself. Snap out of it, our kid. |

Fuck me, you're keen, Rich. Does your duty to Shane involve this much detail (as in Life on Mars)? ANother thing that pissed me off was that I bought a £3.50 salami, big fat one, shoved it in the well you get in a transit van passenger side front bit - or whatever they term the fucking thing in advertising speak - the bit you put your flask, shite, pens, coins in - and the next day a fucking fly was flying about. In October. Which meant I'd been snacking on salami/flyshit(+eggs if female) for a day.
Then Rich K says snap out of it.

Does your duty to Shane involve this much detail Ne comprendez senor. Duty principally extends to sorting nice locations and enjoying nice banter with the nice collection of geezers and geezesses on this site. (fly)shit happens man. Post was an attempt at empathy! You're a wizz behind a camera, Neil. Don't lose sight of that. Ever. Polish kabanos are one of my key dietary supplements, love' em. |

I want to revive this thread so that I can banish from the face of the earth people who leave comments on MSN news stories. Urgh.
Lots of new people around the Forum these days. Feel free to add yours.

Right then...
1) Mothers who think you're as enchanted by their kids as they are. The ones who update their Facebook status three times a day to keep you informed of what their little ones are doing and upload 100s of pictures. I couldn't care less. Then they let them run around shops climbing on the fixtures and screaming as if it's all just adorable fun. It's not. Your kids are brats and you're a bad Mother. Go away.
2) TV discussion shows. They're just pointless. No-one ever learns anything, they just argue from their own closed opinions. That semi-religious one with Nicky Cambell is the worst.
3) Celebrities harping on about their ex-addictions. Addiction is bad. But overcoming one is not a badge of merit and should not warrant a round of applause from an audience. Sophie Anderton especially.
4) Sophie Anderton. I've just remembered what a cunt she is.
5) Comic Relief. It hasn't been funny since 1990. Spare all the dreadful skits (it's Little Britain meets Eastenders... hahaho) and the moronic whacky fundraisers and just show 3 hours of people dying. Flick on for 5 minutes, donate, turn over.
6) Hangovers. How in this day and age haven't we found a cure? Scientists aren't working hard enough.
7) Dogs. They're stupid, over-enthusiastic and aggressive. Cannot stand them.
8) The Inbetweeners. Almost everybody I know loves this show and tediously quotes it. I think it's awful.

The facebook photos of peoples kids are the only ones I bother viewing. I know what you mean, but there are worse things than adoring your kids, I suppose...The facebook updates that drive me mad are the ones that say 'I just baked a cake' or 'I bought new shoes' and they've actually gone to the trouble to photograph the cake/shoes and upload it. Wtf? I should disconnect these people, but that would be hostile and I'm a coward. Agreed! Reminds me of that Chris Rock joke, so you don't do hard drugs? You're not suppose to ya dumb...... My daughter's in the market for a dog. A few weeks back, I would have disagreed but after many hours of forced viewing of Dogs 101 on the animal channel, yeah, agreed, banish 'em (Mmm should probably add that this is a channel about actual animals and a programme about actual dogs...oh dear ) |

I know everyone loves their kids, but i can see what you mean. The people who wind me up are those who talk about ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE other than their kids. especially when you work with these people and therefore have no other choice but to put up with the daily developments of their 'little princess'. |
