| As an antidote to alexblue's GUILTY PLEASURES topic, I thought it might be good to have a topic on some of our pet hates. My "bete noire" has got to be those "I'm on the bus" mobile phone merchants regaling me with all the inane details of their dreary ghastly lives, usually with their voices raised several decibels above normal, when I'm trying to read while on a bus or train - and its all drivel too, like "what do you want for dinner tonight?" and "did you have a good time at the party on Saturday?" Those wretched contraptions are the worst thing ever invented and I will never have one if I live to be 26. Also, other forms or rudery and anti-social behaviour get up my nose too, people who push in front of you in the bus queue, for instance and I can't stand most of today's pop music neither. Come back Alma Cogan and "Twenty Tiny Fingers". Apart from that, I'm quite a relaxed and friendly guy. What pet hates get you worked up too??? |
Or The X Factor as, in Simon Cowell's talent competition?

**** H A T E. And this is another pet H A T E of mine, this censorship of perfectly good words which have been used since time began. Why is it thought necessary that we have to be protected from them and/or banned from using them and, in this case, since the word is spelled out in full in the title of this topic, I fail to see why it has got the **** treatment in this reply

p.s. I should state that I only have to suffer rubbish like X Factor when I go and stay with my mum who laps it up. At home, I NEVER watch it. I had to cry off going to a party last Saturday night because of a heavy cold and it came to something when the only decent programme on t.v. on what is supposed to be the best night of the week, was a 42 years old episode of the still-brilliant and exquisitely acted "Dad's Army".
Lady Gaga too.
And Lady Gaga sucks hardcore.

And who's Lady Gaga??? Give me Rosemary Clooney
Oh, Justin Bieber too. He's a dick.
They bump into you while they tapping away on their mobile device,they look at you as if you are stupid and should make way for them.
Look where you are going and not at a screen..
