Things you hate III

I once had an evening of Smirnoff Ice (don't ask why). Ended up doubled over in agony, because it felt like it was dissolving my stomach from the inside. Something to do with the amount of sugar in them?

 

Yeah - it will be the sugar that upset your stomach. I'm the same if someone accidentally spikes my coffee with 2 sugars

 

There's some sick people about.

 

One vodka Redbull and I wake up in the morning feeling awful.

 

I'm talking about stomach lining erosion after 4 or 5 bottles of Smirnoff Ice. Not had that pain from smashing back two bottles of scotch or 14 beers

 

I'll have you know I've resigned my membership. Groucho Marx convinced me.

 

outside of a dog a book is a man's best friend?

 

Waking up with a vodka red bull sets met up for the day.

 

Full on Christmas adverts seem to have begun today.

F***
RIGHT
OFF

These f***ing things should be completely banned until DECEMBER. I don't mind Christmas but this is plain wrong.

 

Flipping cushions!

For me, a cushion is something to bridge the gap between my back and sofa for comfort.

But Mrs ZZ sees them as "accents" for the room, wants to change them every month, or worse, wants to add to them until I can hardly find a space on the sofa for my relatively trim backside. Even the bed in the spare room looks like Mount ******* Kilimanjaro, with cushions piled up to the ceiling! And we've probably got the thickest loft insulation in the world, all made up of flipping cushions.

Even worse, is that Mrs ZZ's sister suggests that my missus is probably making up for "something" I'm not providing her myself.

Drives me potty.

I’m not necessarily advocating the above, but as a non smoker it does annoy me.

I have a colleague who smokes and they must take as an absolute minimum 5 fag breaks a day of around 15 minutes. They start at 9 faff around for a bit and then at about 9:30 they go out for their first fag break.

I know it’s down to their manager and the powers that be to do something about it but nobody does, as I’m sure like thousands of work places around the country it’s a sort of unwritten rule that if you smoke it’s fine to take multiple breaks throughout the day.

 

There's a lady at my place who is either outside smoking or in the toilet for what appears to be 50% of her working time.

Diarrhoea.

 

Don’t talk ****.

 

The new series of doctor who is fecking awful. What has always been a show that at its heart was a bit of syfi escapism, and at times scary as a kid, has devolved into a load of poorly written, miscast, overly pc, overly political rubbish.

 

Professional mis-price hunters.

"Saw a 4k tv for 79.95 when it sells everywhere for 799.95, now im in dispute with amazon for cancelling my order, been on live chat talking to ****s for 30 minutes and only been offered 10 pounds off my next order, I'm furious and will be fighting to receive the 20 tvs i ordered".

 

A funny, similar thing happened with me a while back. I was in my local SM supermarket when I saw they had loose kebabs marked up at 13 pesos/kg when I knew they should have been 13 pesos each. I asked for the whole tray of about 20 kebabs and questioned why the price was (about) 250 pesos when there was barely a kilo's worth. He got a manager and sure enough they let me have them for 15 pesos.

 

Sadly, I have to agree. I have no problem with the current casting but the writing is poor and the choice of some of the subject matter is just plain odd.

 

I also agree. It's utter sh*te now.

 

Definitely. I used to love it as a kid but haven't watched it since the early 90s. I have seen the last few episodes as my son has been watching it recently and it's awful - the most painfully PC thing on TV. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised to see a story around a gender-fluid Dalek or Cybermen trying to take over a space station so they can use it as a safe space.

 

You're all just sexist pigs.

 

...and you're now watching it in the second decade of the 21st century. As my nasty, spiteful, racist mother keeps informing her grand-kids "...things were different before all these changes..." and "...things were better in the good old days...".

We're recently discovering the B&W "Whos" (Hartnell & Troughton). A lot of them are far too long, but most are very watchable - something I have noticed though, especially in the Troughton years, is the increasing number of non-honkey (apols.) actors appearing in major "non-background" roles. The PC-ification of Dr Who has been going on for a long time, although I imagine the 1960's criticism would have been more, ahem, "forthright".

 

My 5 year old likes Dr who. You guys liked it when you were kids.... Is there a pattern emerging?

 

People always using Brexit as an excuse for an issue and going off topic to talk about 101 things for or against it.

I appreciate you may be strongly for it or against it, but stop expanding topics into wider discussions on Brexit.

 

Ordinarily I would agree but I cant think of any other kids program that is so in your face about either the writers personal views or political correctness. Which wouldn't be so bad if the writing was any good, but it isn't. The central premise of the show, now including what should have been a strong female lead, has been lost somewhere along the line.

 

No. A lot of the modern ‘reboot’ has been seriously good adult viewing too, e.g ‘Blink’ with the weeping angels and ‘The Empty Child’ with the gas-mask kids.

 

Christmas decorations this early in November.

I passed a house on Leggatts Way this evening where the whole front garden is adorned with lights. It's the 14th of f****** November.
