There was a woman in a museum in Oxford who, in one statement, managed to make to the top five of 'Glice's list of people who need to die', nestling just between Jimmy Carr and Sting. It was an exhibition of a load of Egyptian stuff - ankhs, scarabs, amulets and the like - and she said, in a tone that simply will not come across on that internet "Oh, aren't they lovely? And we're supposed to be the civilised ones". I'd never seriously considered kicking complete strangers in the cunt until that day.

RanaldoNecro - I thought it was the Belgians? (Y'know, Jacques Brel and all that).

yes.

older people using computers

younger 11 year old kids like my brother and his friends who think they're cool and do annoying shit and make stupid noises which they think rule.

myspace

friends which come to your house and log into their msn's and stay there all day.

I agree with all that (except the ellipses thing, actually, but whatever). Grammar can, and should, change. People need to get over it.

when boardies don't post the names of the hot girls' pics they post

Lest we forget

Or when crypto posts pictures of his friends that he hits the clubs with, he doesn't like to reveal that info.

Well, precisely. And you're right about the ellipses, that's just my disliking of Jack Kerouac. I don't know how it is elsewhere, but there's a lot of so-called educated people in England who treat language like a museum object, who'll complete dismiss 1337 but are too guilty to apply the same logic to Patois, and will happily criticise, say, a North Yorkshire dialect.

I'm not the one looking for their names, my fingers ain't pale, long and skinny.

Hypocrisy

Bullying

Bad manners

Media glorification of bullying and bad manners

The Labour Party

Marzipan

What Russell T Davies did to the cybermen

Traders on Play.com declaring an item (eg SYR8) is 'in stock' when what they mean is 'not in stock'

Pretend queries by people presenting documentaries

'Wildlife documentaries' about animals in captivity

Ant

and Dec

The trend away from shortwave radio broadcasting

Those little green things

Money being wasted, especially by politicians

The absurd proposition that Michael Owen should be in the England football team

Where I grew-up (York) there are always loads of American tourists, most of them very friendly and genuine, but a number of them walk around exaggerating their American accent and their American mannerisms, as if they're putting on a pantomime for your benefit. It's weird.

I agree with davenotdead. Likewise when there is a thread on here along the lines of 'your favourite -whatever- groups?' and everyone just posts pictures of said groups rather than naming them. I rarely recognise the ones I'm familiar with, let alone the ones I'm not. There's something annoyingly supercilious about it, an implied 'are you cool enough to know these by sight'? After all it must take more effort than just typing the name.

people who list things that they hate

^^^Drug dealers outside Melly Towers (hee hee hee :D ;))

My grandmother treating my great-grandmother like shit.

When I invite my friend Mike over to my place and he just goes on the internet and plays my guitars and transfers his weird smell onto my furniture which I then have to febreze when he's gone whilst wondering why I'm friends with him.

When people put ho's before bro's. Especially if they're the only person you know at their birthday party and they leave you to spend the entire night flipping through their parents record collection as they fuck a bunch of stupid bitches upstairs.

People trying to 'get down with it'. I was at a baptism service in a protestant church the other day and it was ridiculous. They were passing out tambourines to little kids and the reverend was playing these cheesy songs on a casio as a bunch of people sang along out of tune. Give me a Catholic service any day- they don't bother trying to make concessions, they just get on with it and get down to some fucking SRS BUSINESS.

Realising I've spent hundreds of pounds on fast food this summer.

dogs.

you're going to gain hundreds of pounds if you keep it up.

The way some people think that everyone is interested in what they have to say.

Those who have nothing to say but never shut up.

John Simm.

Yer right - being yelled at by a God-Botherer > Blue Peter love-fests (and this from someone who loathes religion in all forms).

Another - people who are too cuntish to say thanks after me helping them out w/whatever. Yeah, that's right, I'm just the home help, eh? Fuckers.

I don't gain weight at all but I'll probably die when I'm 30 of multiple heart attacks.

that guy who hosts the Planets Funniest Animal's show on Animal Planet.

well, if you can live with yourself...

I can't. Haha.

hahah

i can't stand the guy who hosts three quarters of food network nighttime programming. he speaks so loudly with no intonation, it's all one big blurry pun.

You're not speaking of Alton Brown are you?

alton brown is kinda awful

pro-lifers
more the ones who rub it in your face than anything

Especially when they run around screaming with blown up posters of aborted fetuses.

no no, i love alton brown. i'm talking about marc summers.

aw, schizo, you didn't develop a deep love of marc summers back when he was hosting Double Dare on nick?

i hated the bastard then!

people who don't say thank you or acknowledge you in the least after you've held the door open for them. FUCK

Having the aftertaste of liquor plus vomit in your mouth.

getting a carton of soft packs instead of hards.

sunday nights disguised as mondays.

People that get confused when I use a double entendre.

Good, because, I'm afraid we'd have issues if you hated Alton. He's my non-Japanese food hero. I can understand the Summers hate.

I can't coming back to find that my group of friends has been torn asunder by the treacheries of a few members and I have to stay neutral.

theres a lot of shit i cant stand you fucking bitches

i just put up with it because i love you (ok-- just a little).

!@#$%! - I love you too, and in a "man friendship" way, not a "sex-wrestling grapple" way.

I hate you older people for not being in college anymore(if applicable to you).

Never went in the first place, Synthy - now you can really hate me :p
