    I'm a cyclist and a car driver and I hate everyone. Frankly on my packed commute to work I hate people on public transport and people walking esp those meandering on their phones.

    People who don't cycle who don't like cyclists think they are special.

    People who choose to insult others for no good reason, especially when they do it hidden behind a computer screen :rolleye1:

    Anyone who's over 17 years old and still riding a bike is either too poor to afford a car or an idiot.

    Robbie Savage, Frankenstein's assistant Danny Murphy, Thierry Henry and the use of the phrase last chance saloon when it comes to eighty five minutes in a match.

    The phrase "up for grabs".

    I think, like so many awful things, this phrase was originally the invention of the 1970's Radio 1 DJ.

    It was thought harmless at first. Pop Quiz! Phone in and there's a t-shirt and an LP "up for grabs" for the winner.

    Already by 1979, Elvis Costello was pointing out that Hong Kong is "up for grabs". So whole countries being 'grabbed' in this style.

    It's a nasty and objectionable and ugly phrase. It implies grabbing and snatching and hoarding and selfishness.

    Join with me in rejecting it and have it fall into the dust of history through lack of common usage.

    A sight to behold if you get up early at 4am on Chorleywood Common Moose. Prizes are up for grabs if one can snap one of the Moog in the buff in his natural habitat......:)

    Didn't see much wrong with his commentating yesterday.

    The panel on the other hand was awful, Lee Dixon apart (though I cringed a bit when he said he didn't believe in the concept of game management) - but then it is ITV, after all.

    Agreed. Got fed up with media player so relented and tried to work with itunes over the weekend.
    After 3 hours of faffing about I deleted it and also removed all of my other Apple software in a fit of rage.
    Awful awful package, someone really needs to come up with a viable alternative.

    Feeling compelled to join in arguments about the referendum.

    (If the result is close, I'll expect to have to continue to do this for the next ten years.)

    Arguing about Brexit with Hornmeister, who is my hero.

    Not being able to argue about anything with Gaggsy, who seems to be ignoring me.

    Argos. It's like the internet except you have to drive to a retail park and use the computers in the shop.

    Agreed. Decent enough prices, pretty huge range and you get it instantly instead of waiting a couple of days for a delivery.

    Vaping

    Don't get me wrong, an electronic cigarette is a good method to help you kick smoking but it seems to be a cool thing to do now, hence the term which I loathe. Jsut look at the way it's advertised on the television.
    It's the general attempt to dress it up as a fashion accessory I hate. I see kids not old enough to smoke wandering around waving them in the air like their ******* on a steaming electronic kazoo. in a vain attempt to prove they're adults.

    You don't look cool you look like a mug.

    I also don't like the fact that some smokers consider it's safe and hence decide to "vape" (Urgh) in your face and get militant when you explain that you don't want to suck in some else's second-hand bubblegum flavoured breath.

    I saw three things on my way to work that enraged me this morning:

    1. A woman refer to herself as "mummy" to her dog. It's a ****ing dog, not a human child you needy idiot.

    2. An adult commuter using a scooter. Grow up you infantilised idiot, you're only doing it for attention.

    3. People with spazzy walks who have destroyed their shoes but still insist on wearing them, practically walking on the side, like this:

    [​IMG]

    How can you still walk round looking like that? Get an insole or a new pair of shoes you unobservant moron.

    This is my favorite post ever. Top work. I also completely agree with all of your points. Those uggs usually go like that when they're the fakes, more reason to hate the wearer RP.

    The snake oil salesmen products on early morning TV. Seeing the SHARKLIGHT ROCKET HANDSTICK ® pick up 9 snooker balls vs Dysons inferior 3 made me want to buy it, but with these American companies a broom with a fan taped to it will turn up.

    I don't mind if people want to stand in the kitchen and chat. I'm all for the odd occasional quick chinwag over a brew.

    But why do some people continually have their chats in front of the fridge meaning every time you have to ask them to move?

    THE KITCHEN'S BIG ENOUGH. STAND SOMEWHERE ELSE NUMBNUTS!
