Quote[/b] (Slipperduke @ Sep. 21 2006,15:58)]Men called 'Jez' who wear scarfs indoors and have mobile phones that look like old style Gameboys.

That sounds very specific!

Oi! My uncle's called Jez, (addimittedly he lives in the middle of nowhere and is a tad mad, but it runs in that side of the family).

Dead right - happened to me yesterday, and then found the corner shop only had skimmed milk

You know the type!

I certainly do. Aka t%$$&r

 

[Slipperduke]

Does your Uncle Jez only take an genuine interest in people who have lots of cocaine in their pocket? Or talk incessantly about new American drama shows that haven't been released in the UK?

Your uncle Jez is infinitely preferable. Unless he's Mad Uncle Jex who slaughters chickens in the night. That would be horrid.

Chris Moyles and 'Comedy' Dave - the least funny double act since Brady & Hindley

Any mobile phone ringtones in a cinema

Mobile phone conversations in trains or supermarket queues

Male/female tarts in Leigh on sea

People who take Cocaine

Interesting, it seems that although our political views on here widely differ (and so it should for a healthy democracy), we all seem to have a lot in common when it comes to annoyances.
Viva Southend and Shrimperzone!
One day we'll otherthrow the world and rid the planet of these irksome little foibles. Look out Mr Oliver and Wannacott!

Ah, coke. The drug that promises so much, but delivers so little.

My mate summed it up when he said, "The only thing you want after cocaine, is more cocaine. So it's sort of self-defeating."


Kills erections stone dead as well. No high is worth that.

Do people really do that?  That said, I really object to the fact that at work, I get to the bog and it has skid-marks all the way down the pan.  USE THE FCUKING BRUSH, YOU PIG!

Quote[/b] (C C Csiders @ Sep. 21 2006,14:54)]Genesis

The band, or the Chapter in the Bible?!  

 Neither's that bad, IMHO...!

Quote[/b] (C C Csiders @ Sep. 21 2006,14:54)]Anything other than purple-sprouting broccoli in bubble and squeak

I thought the basis of Bubble & Squeak was cabbage?  Purple-sprouting broccoli sounds a bit Borough Market to me...

Quote[/b] (C C Csiders @ Sep. 21 2006,14:54)]Last Night of the Proms

Tea and all tea related paraphernalia

Baked Beans and their juice (although this is more a phobia than hatred)

Meat

Shock horror. The Empire was built on all the above!

Ah. Now there I'd agree. Definately on the annoying list.

What's a phantom poo ? I don't ever recall having such problems.

Since we're on the subject I haven't had a painful poo for many years - the ones that seemed to want to come out sideways.

Great selection by the way Duke.

I have a couple more.

SUV/MPV - I can't believe I didn't include this on my original list but I think it falls under the banner of Americanisms that have overtaken our language anyway.

Fries - what the bloody hell are these fake chip thingies that people seem to buy in abundance, usually so full of salt and all manner of other additives.

 

[Bluesmanager]

Three words for you ORM:

Fast Food Franchises.

Always prefer a subway or a pasty to the cr@p that KFC and McDonalds provide.

Quote[/b] (Slipperduke @ Sep. 21 2006,15:58)]sh!t football results that screw up a perfectly good accumulator. Tottenham Hotspur, you were supposed to beat Fulham comfortably. Lillywhite rubbish.


Tottenham fans who insist that their latest signing will make them title contenders. For Berbatov, see Rebrov, see Iversen, see Armstrong, see Falco, see infinitum. You're average. Accept it.

2 quality points here.

RE Spurs: Those on this board who know me will know i find Spurs fans possibly the most annoying footy fans in the county.

No, Spurs fans, you are not the biggest/best club in London/England/Europe/The world. You never have been, and you never will be. Get over it!

Rant Over

 

[Westcliff Shrimper]

From Mrs CI-City Blue and myself:

* Bar staff who pour most of your bottle of Magners straight into the pint glass, when you AREN'T SUPPOSED TO ! !

* Said pint glass being boiling hot due to just being extracted from the dishwasher.

* Pushchairs in Lakeside - don't go at weekends ! !

* Chavettes on late night trains wearing next to nothing, blaring rubbish music from their £9.99 from Argos mobile phones.

* Trains that don't stop at Benfleet station in the morning as they "are not in service".

* Traffic jams.

* Drivers who don't indicate. The orange lights on your car are not for funking decoration ! !

* People pushing in queues. Look, it's the rules in any country - WAIT YOUR TURN ! !

* Americans thinking that just because they own a green jumper or have eaten a potato, they must be Irish

(one of the missus' particular hates).

* "Get in the hole" - if I EVER hear that on a golf course, I will quite happily wrap my new driver around their head. No court in the land would convict me...

* Drivers who cut learners up (especially on roundabouts).

* Massive queues outside the Fish House, when I'm hungry and running late...

Blimey - this is theraputic...

Work Related

AA call handlers, useless cretins who cant ask simple questions.

AA operators, give them an hour eta and they are on the phone saying its unexceptable glossing over the fact that their member has already been broken down roadside for the last three hours due to a dipsh!t call handler not putting it out to garaging.

Adverts concerning the AA.

Uninsured drivers who expect their cars back for nothing.

Stroppy owners of stolen vehicles, yes you do have to pay, no we dont do it for love, no I dont know where you £500 car system has gone from your £150 fiesta, think it might have been nicked?

Arseholes who try to tell us whats wrong with their cars. If your the f%&king expert then why you calling us out? ********.

Belguim.

European jobs with poxy locations. Garage Pioret St Mimmie, is pretty lame. Tell us its a Toyota garage and I would have found 2 hours earlier.

People coming up the yard when im snowed under wanting to look at the remains of their cars after accidents. Its knackered, the insurance is forking out for it, why do you feel the need to pat it and say good-bye. IT'S A LUMP OF f%&kING METAL NUMBNUTS!!!

Outside of work

Belguim

Fighting to the bar and slopping half your drink getting out of the maul.

People getting a weeks shopping at petrol stations and getting lumbered behind them in the queue.

ITV

Liberal Democrats, the pointless party.

Reality Television because it isn't.

Citroens, what ever possessed me.

The 16 speed bumps on the small rural estate where I live. Whos gonna pay for my suspension?

Belgium - Its deserves to be hated twice as much as anywhere else.

 

[Sao Paulo Shrimper]

Craig Bellamy - complete c%&t.

Chavs - see above.

People who ask to to sit down when the game get's exciting, for god's sake its a footy match not the theatre so just get up yourself. (anyone above 70 years old not included).

Brighton fans - see first two.

People who used to (when i worked in the city) push in front of you whilst getting on the train to get the first seat. First come first served chaps/girls so have some manners and wait your turn.

People who used to play their walkmans really loud (usually heavy metal) on the trains to and from work, that really used to get my back up that one.

There are plenty more but i would be here all night.

Cant agree more with that one

Every golf tournament that Tiger plays in all I hear after every shot is ''get in the hole''

Even he must be sick of that

I'm going to The Grove to watch a tournament next week

All the top golfers will be on show, if I hear that annoying sound i'll go mad

Blimey... must make a mental note of that. I can't say I've ever stopped and thought "blimey, that's expensive." Ought I to have done so?
