My current top five hates

[Interpol Shrimper]

may add to this the ****s that then put said videos on YouTube and the like. :guns:

Exactly!
If I was in a highly successful band, I'd either be moaning about it on the fans message board and telling them not to dare do it at my gigs or I'd come up with some ruse so anybody who had been filming me on their mobile had to stand in a separate queue to exit the venue (they'd be told we were auditioning for interesting media footage for the next video or something), they would then be made to swallow their memory card and if the footage was then still "oh so valuable" to them, they could wait for nature to take it's course and then retrieve a day or so later!

I'd like to add to this.

I also hate people at gigs who put their phones in the air, obviously calling their mates, allowing them to hear the music.

If you want to hear it- buy a bloody ticket. Simple.

 

[Benji91]

People who practice their golf swings with imaginary clubs or umbrella's. Double hatred for those who hold the swing with their imaginery clubs. ****ers. The time i buried an imaginery ball with a diving header i got looked at weird, but oh no, swinging an imaginary golf club is just fine

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Carrying on the music theme (think this maybe got mentioned earlier in the thread) but right now I really really cannot stand cr@ppy manufactured bands purporting to play indie music. Especially where the drivel seems to be constantly on rotation on either Radio1 or XFM.

I'm particularly talking about Scouting for Girls (She's So Lovely) & Plain White T's (Hey There Delilah). I'd include that fat talentless **** Jack Penate in there too actually, oh & The Hoosiers.

In fact, radio stations having such small playlists is doing my box in. As a song I quite like Peter, Bjorn & John (Young Folks) but hearing it 6 or 7 times a day is just too much!

Reason you got the funny looks was because everyone watching saw you bury the imaginery ball into the 6th row of the imaginery stands behind the imaginery goal :D

 

[MK Shrimper]

My new pet hate: Anglian Water.

Come home, find your house stinking like a sewer due to some f**k up some dimwits have been doing on the main sewer. Ask them pleasantly what going on end up being threatened and abused.

Come 8pm they send someone round to apologise profusely and beg forgiveness for their fcuk up and their staff...spend all evening with open windows and burning josticks so now my house smells like some of my ex's Aunties.

****S!

 

[WestRoadShrimper]

Current hate: Powergen (EON, whoever).

Living in a 2 bed flat in Westcliff, currently on my own, paying about £30p/m direct debit for the electricity. Come home the other week to find a letter telling me that due to a review of my account the new monthey payment was to be.........



£199!!!!!!!


Now unless the cats are on the computer all day every day while I'm out doing some high espionage work for some secret government agency, I thought this was a touch exessive for an account only £40 in arrears.

Despite a couple of days of phonecalls, all I got was the classic 'Computer says No' reply - their system said that's what it should be so that's what it was. Wasn't until I asked for the MPAN number thing to move suppliers that I was put through to a much more sensible person, and agreed on a new, much more appropriate, payment.

W****rs.

This thread's great.

Afer the council people paid me back a fee for a bill they never sent me and after returning from holiday, I don't feel too bad but I'm sure I can muster 5.

1. People who talk in to their mobile phone as though they are some sort of military man with a two way radio.
2. Work prohibiting me from playing in a live small stake poker tournament with Annette_15 which they organised. Damn you people - this could have been me announcing my arrival on the scene (but I would have blatantly gone all in 68 off or something).
3. The way in which all my music seems to bore me right now. How, in 3000 songs can I not find 5 or 6 in a row that will keep me entertained?
4. Cyclists on the road who don't have a clue. If there is no traffic at a junction then you can clearly skip through but you have to be sure. Why is it that when people hop on a bike they suddenly lose all sense of personal responsibility? I seriously wonder whether a cycling proficiency test should be mandatory.
5. Motorists on the road who don't have a clue. Unless you are on a motorway, I believe cyclists are allowed to be on the same road as you and share equal rights. Stop treating them as second-class road citizens and have a damn look when you are turning left at a junction. Not only do they have equal rights, they are considerably less polluting, they don't have a massive protective shell around them and, assuming you aren't a bus driver, they are a far more efficient use of the road than you. Just try and keep a sense of awareness of people and objects around you!

 

[Shrimper James]

Plain White T's (Hey There Delilah)

Utter, utter boll*cks.

One of the worst songs i've heard in my twenty five years on this planet.

(4) - see my answer a few pages back
(5) - very good point, if only that view was more prevalent in this country!

 

[Prodigal Son]

1. West Ham Fans
2. Political Correctness
3. IPODs, the battery will die, it's only a matter of time
4. England football team, overpaid, rubbish, why the fuss?
5. ILLEGAL immigrants

Because all new music nowadays is sh*t.

Exactly, it makes you want to smash every single radio in the world, or better than that devise some SAS style raid on the local radio transmitter!

It was on Qtv this morning too & I had issues as I couldn't immediately find the remote to switch it off. Had to spring up & turn off the TV at the switch in the end to avoid it!

 

[WestRoadShrimper]

Oooohh - on those lines (4), a cyclist holding up traffic the other day on the A130.

As there's no cycle lane, is he actually allowed to be on that road to start with?

Yes, cyclists are allowed on dual carriageways, but not allowed on motorways. I used to race on roads like the A12, A14 & A1. Negotiating the Black Cat roundabout on the A1 at full race speed on a low-profile time-trial bike when there's a convoy of HGV's coming at you is quite fun :p

 

[Mr. Benedict]

Before I passed my driving test I used to cycle on some dual carriageways. It's pretty unnerving when an HGV thunders past doing 50mph more than you...!

Quite.

If you actually listen to the lyrics as well, they're just a load of words that rhyme with no actual meaning behind them. Now, there's nothing wrong with that really if the song is any good, but when the song is UTTER **** then it's just another reason to hate it.

I have no idea who Plain White Ts are (terrible, terrible name may i add), and indeed i hope it stays that way, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE leave your crap, dirgy teenage pop music for school discos and thirteen year old angst-ridden students- DON'T ENFORCE IT ON THE REST OF US!

I seriously can't take anymore of this crap. Everywhere you turn there's ANOTHER NEW TALENTLESS BAND OF LOSERS.

Do any of them sound any different from each other? No.
Have any of them got any boll*cks? No.
Are any of them talented? No.
Have any of them got a clue how to write a decent tune? No.

What's happening to alternative music...?

Give. It. A. Rest.

Thats 50p into my "bad beat story" tin please ...

:hilarious:

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

The stupid girls in my office discussing their Halloween/Trick or Treat costumes.

a) you're not still at primary school
b) it's a load of Americanised tosh
c) do some work......

 

[Shrimper James]

People who do those stupid 'special' handshakes.

You know, like where they punch the other person's fist, then click, then lock fingers.

JUST SHAKE HANDS PROPERLY LIKE PROPER MEN!!!
