Little things that irk you.. (no swearing please)

It isn't new but there are now almost no gameshows on prime time TV with contestants who have been randomly selected and/or succeeded in a qualifying round.

Think Who wants to be a millionaire and mastermind are the only ones where the contestants aren't picked purely on personality.

Zane Lowe.

I don't need to explain do I?

Yes. Zane Lowe is one of the few radio DJ's I can listen to, even if I don't necessarily share the same love of certain genres that he does.

I saw him DJ once in Falmouth. I had a good time.

When women say that foreplay is important but what they mean is FOR THEM and blokes get jack **** in return.

It doesnt just apply to bedroom antics either mate

I will say that if a woman is on the rag then theres no way my hand, my mouth nor my penis is going anywhere near that place despite the fact that they're feeling horny. Yeuch!!!

Pfft, wimp. Get stuck in man.

Corrected for poetic effect!!

I've mentioned this b4. Theres something strangely fake about those people on that show. They're way too confident & upbeat, & always have a funny anicdote or a sad story to tell b4 they start, to the point where I'm sure they're unknown bad actors who are just acting too hard & are trying to break into the industry.

yeah i hate that fake thing...actually sort of linked i think that goes for kids in childrens tv to....like barney the dinosaur kids always looked like they had a nervous fake smile

Like there parents are of screen saying smile and be happy...or the dog gets it

Your paid tax is funding it, too. Being on the dole is soul destroying.

A couple of irks today. I had Sky put in about 6-8 weeks back, the set-up bonus being that I'd get most of the movie channels (Comedy, Action, Thriller, Indie, Sci Fi/Horror) several weeks before I'd have to subscribe to them. Basically, I 'taped' a ****load of films (Ghost Town, The Baader Meinhof Complex, Watchmen, Harold & Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay, Bruno etc.) and now the bonus period has finished, I can't watch the films I recorded as I'm not subscribed to those channels anymore, even though they are stored in the hard drive! It's understandable, I guess, but I am pretty gutted.

Secondly, those security alarms. Bought a box of nicotine gum from Morrisons and as I left, the security tag set the alarm off. I hate the way these things both draw everyone's attention to the alarm setter-offer (who is usually innocent) and also the way they make you feel all paranoid and kind of accused of something you haven't done, plus the added irritation you may be accosted by a security guard (which really gets my back up).

Supermarkets.

Or to be more precise the general level of idiocy people feel the need to lower themselves to when they walk into one. I have a list, I know where I need to go. Why do some people spend hours meandering around getting in my way?

Also, you get to see some "interesting" folk wandering around in ridiculous clothes using their benefits to buy beer and fags when they should be using it to buy new clothes for the 6 semi-naked children who are covered in their dinner from two nights ago and who they cannot seem to control. No, they are not little darlings, they are Satan's spawn and you're not doing anything to calm them down.

Arrrgh!!!

If I stick a film on, my wife will often read the papers, or a book... and then about 1hr into the film ask me "whats going on? what's he doing?" etc...

I have it worse. My missus comes home from work, sits down to watch the soaps and doesn't mutter a word. Then when I watch something I want to, she won't stop talking!

[kernow]

Don't get me started on awful TV!

I think the concept of subtitles was devised for this very reason.
