Things you hate IV

Teeth whitening is another bizarre fad. The height of how bizarre is when people get this done by unregistered individuals in their front room or even a shed. Here’s an example.

I agree. I much prefer the natural look

 

I would ‘like’ your post, but I don’t think I can.

 

Why is teeth whitening "bizarre"? Going over the top with it definitely doesn't look great, but don't really see the problem with teeth whitening in general.

 

Using peroxides on teeth seems a bit OTT to me, but sure, get them polished up by the hygienist. Oral health is very important.

 

I find a bottle of tippex is all you need.

 

Tasty, too.

 

Can you still get the thinners?
I remember a boy at school sitting at the back of the class enjoying sniffing the thinners

 

Me neither.

 

This turned out t9 be a poignant post:

When companies give you the option of specifying a delivery date, so you choose a day you’ll be in, but they just ignore that and try and deliver it earlier anyway.

 

The BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards. Of all the lame annual backslapping events The SPOTY (yuk!) has to be worst. This year's is being hosted by Gary Lineker, Clare Balding, Gabby Logan and Alex Scott - a more gruesome quartet its hard to imagine. Hopefully the Russians will be able to interfere in the voting process and Tyson Fury will be announced the winner, but I'll be among the millions not watching

 

Would be funnier if the Russians interfered and made Tyrone Mings the winner.

 

Or our very own WTE

 

The thought did cross my mind, but he'd be a shoe-in for the international category

 

Used to be a highlight of the Xmas TV line up, but it's less about a round up of the year's sport and more about a knees up for celebs. Partly probably due to the BBC having little to no sporting TV rights. I stopped watching it years ago.

 

Partly? Entirely, I would say.

Anyway, no audience this year, so not much of a knees-up.

 

It’s always been a completely pointless show to me which I’ve never understood or been remotely interested in. I don’t like awards as it is, let alone something so vague as to be related to a sportsperson’s personality… yet it generally always goes to the one who has achieved the most that year in a sporting sense, so how much has personality actually got to do with it? You don’t see many League one footballers getting it, regardless of how big their ‘personality’ is.

 

Correct, otherwise TD9 would have won it 10 years in a row, surely?

 

Yes. Ryan Giggs won it, so clearly personality isn’t the key factor.

Though it doesn’t say what sort of a personality, so some may feel they are being invited to vote for Sporting **** of the Year.

 

It wasn’t pointless in the days when BBC had all the decent sport, in fact it was an excellent way of recapping the sporting year.

I agree “personality” is a misnomer.

 

I think a horse won it one year. Imagine finishing runner up to livestock

 

Are you referring to Princess Anne?

 

It's hard to make sport boring, but year after year this sycophantic, drawn out event manages to do it on a gargantuan scale.

The only thing worse is A Question of Sport.

 

It's extraordinary that the BBC could make a Question of Sport worse than it was when it had Sue Barker, 'Tuffers' and that other twit, but from the 2 minutes I've seen of the Paddy McGuinness-hosted new look version, they have!

 

Lad Baby

 

Isn't it all for charideee...?

 

No excuse for his ****

 

Kiss FM.

It gets sh*tter every single day, and it's always been sh*t. The same 15 terrible songs on repeat every single day for about four months before they're replaced by the next 15 abominations to music for the next four months. Rinse and repeat.

It makes me despise working in gyms and despise the world in general, actually.

 

Substituting ‘Hopeless place’ for ‘homeless gays’ during We Found Love by Rihanna always gives me a chuckle when I’m on the treadmill.

 

With Spotify etc. I have no idea how most commercial radio stations survive anymore. I sometimes listen to talk sport while I work for the talk obviously, I sometimes listen to Frank Skinner on Saturday morning, again for the talk, but I’m not sure why anyone would willingly subject themselves to stations who play the same few songs over and over, and the ‘talk’ is just inane waffle, then you’ve got the constant adverts as well. I don’t get why anyone would willingly subject themselves to it, when the worlds entire back catalogue of music is available to you.

 

Because not everyone subscribes to Spotify?

 

It’s pretty cheap, I’ve got family which you can have 6 accounts on, plus there are other alternatives.

 

Yes, I agree - but it’s not free, unlike radio.
