Reply to Post 63834 by valjester in Life’s Little Annoyances Bit of a generalisation. I really enjoy his humour, and he often hits the nail on the head, but I'll be the first to admit that this series of Newswipe has been a bit hit-and-miss.


No I wasn't generalising, like I said I enjoy his stuff. Have just had my fill of people parroting his opinions without actually forming the opinions themselves!

(I will accept I may be in a minority on this one) People with bad form in the gym.
Squatting 2" is not a squat - arse to grass please.
Swinging your arm like a pendulum to curl a bigger weight - gravity is moving the weight, not you.

Sorry, but that really irritates the crap out of me.

Oh and one more, the bicep boys that go to the gym for 20 minutes before they go to the pub so their "guns" are peaked for the ladies. You are twats.

Ok, it's a fair cop. I'll stop doing it now... : )

Reply to Post 63831 by MisterUrOnFireMister in Life’s Little Annoyances Charlie Brooker fans - I think he's ok, but I fucking hate his acolytes: the sort of people that like or dislike things solely because he said so.



Yes

I like Brooker. I really like Brooker. But everything he is says is not some kind of footnoted point that cannot be disproven, challenged or budge from its pedestal.
It is nice when he does back up opinions on a broader scale that you already had like Banksy being fucking shit... oh how I agree.

Football managers.

Bunch of maony, whingy, miserable, old gits, the lot of them. Anyone would think they were so hard done by with the amount of crying they do to the press. They should grow up and realise the true hardships of life rather than the slight mishap in a football match that is forgotten 2 weeks later.

Cant blame them for showing passion surely? It's their job after all. I loved watching Arsene Wenger get wound up last night. I think the real problem is the media.

The fact that nobody, and I mean nobody sells proper Grapefruit juice.

Squeeze some fresh oranges and you'll get something that's pretty much identical to what Innocent, Tropicana et al will gladly sell you.

If I've got to the point where I've decided I like the taste of Grapefruit juice and would therefore like to buy it in a drinkable format, why erroneously second guess me and think, 'Nah, we'll make it sweeter or he won't like the taste of it', thus producing a drink that's called something I like a lot but tastes like something I like a lot less?

City types who decide to treat the rest of the 7.28 to Paddington to the sound of their own voice at high volume, no-one else give's a s**t that "Martyn has sealed the deal" or that the sales team are off paintballing at the weekend, why don't you take your copy of the Telegraph, your Blackberry and your Latte and shove the lot up your f***king arse.

Luckily I change trains at Didcot and then sit on the Oxford train which is full of mad scientists, Phd Students and creative types.

Arsene Wenger, your ears must be burning. Every time Arsenal lose he's got someone to blame - the ref, the linesman, "affective english football". Basically if you can't break down a team that defends well your team isn't very good - every other team in the league has to play the same teams.

Cyclists who seem to think it's okay to practically mow down pedestrians by cycling on the pavement, I had a row with one the other week who kept sounding his bell and asking me to move out of his way, my response to this was "get on the f**king road you self centred numpty and you'd have all the room you want" which seemed to do the trick....

T**t

Why don't you sit in the quiet carriages then, I thought that's what they're for?

Good job we never bump into each other on trains (when I have to catch them for business purposes)... I normally treat it as an office as I have things to get done (but not in the quiet carriages!) : )

Agreed

Manners cost nothing

I also get annoyed at people who queue jump
