I feel a rant coming on having just been to my local stupidmarket! >:(
Here is my new list for Room 101. In no particular order...
1. Till operators who have not been trained properly.
I don't care if you used to have to push the sub-tot key before the submit, and now they've gone and changed it all, and what
your supervisor told you to do doesn't work since you changed the till roll and can't get the cover back on - JUST GIVE ME MY
CHANGE!
2. "Bands" that don't play any musical instruments.
From the dictionary:
Band – noun:
...
In music
- A group of instrumentalists playing music of a specialized type: rock band; jazz band; calypso band; mariachi band.
...
The Monkeys were a boy band (and I have no problem with them), Westlife is not (AND I DO!).
3. Invented chemicals.
I have checked the periodic table of elements over and over, yet I still can't find Loreal's "Nutrillium".
4. Food that pretends to be medicine.
I don't want my cornflakes covered in omega 3-in-1 oil! And my intestinal bacteria number in the trillions; I don't need any more thank you!
5. Hip Hop - Nuff Said!
Oh, I feel better for that. Anyone else need to vent their spleen?

Yeah, let's revamp the old "What Really Bugs You" thread in this modernised fashion!
Sounds good to me! Great idea!

Teammates who phone up at 8.30 and say they will be 10-15 minutes and then turn up at 9.25 >:( >:( >:(
Pub Managers who keep on moving the Bar Billiard table to accomodate a band when there is plenty of room without moving it. >:( >:( >:(
Having to go into work tomorrow on my day off because other people are useless >:( >:( >:(
Thanks for that ;D ;D ;D

Plumbers who tell that you need a new boiler after about 4 years due to bad installation and that the new price would be £2500.
He is, by the way, still at A&E having his clipboard removed from his rather large orifice.

My consignees to Room 101...........
1. Bad signposting. Got horribly lost once in Bridgwater, Somerset: found my way in, but there was no visible signpost leading out, and after going round the town three times I had to stop the car for five minutes while I calmed down and stopped hyperventilating.
2. Car Parks that are forever full: How the hell does every single parking space in the three pay and display car parks at the East Surrey Hospital manage to get taken by 10am this morning ? There can't be that many sick people, surely ?
3. Town planners (so-called). I'd like to get my hands on the person who decided that traffic lights were necessary for the end of my road. Now cars accelerate (especially as I am trying to back out) in an attempt to beat the lights. And immediately round the corner - a bus stop which holds everything up - even those who just beat the lights. Only a matter of time now before the traffic calming is added (speed ramps and bollards). There wasn't ever a problem before the traffic lights !
4. Unjustified awards to Johnny Come Latelies. Applies throughout society, but let's just take the Brit Awards: Arctic Monkeys ? Can't even name a track by them. And Kate Nash gets 'Best Female' on the back of her ONE hit (Foundations). ::)
5. This present government for reneging on the election promise of a referendum on Europe. And their lapdogs, the spineless Liberal Democrats. >:(
6. Wildlife programmes which have to show a killing. For me, a snake eating a gazelle ain't entertainment. :(

And their lapdogs, the spineless Liberal Democrats. >:( But the treaty now being ratified is not a new constitution, apparently. Anyone know the difference? No, nor me. I am not really political, but I personally find this the final straw when you consider that MPs have to answer to the general public, and yet continually ignore what the public wants. so 10/10 for this one Clive |

:)Well said Peter, but having watched the majority of this debate - on the Parliament Programme - over the last few weeks I am none the wiser. All Parties should be condemned for their hypocrisy over this matter.

It just shows to me what politics is all about, on just about every level. Lining one's own pocket.
For example, what odds on Tony Blair eventually becoming "President of Europe" or something similar. Frightening! And who has to pay for it?
And I am NOT political, honest!
Have a nice day.
Who brought this subject up?

Steering away from politics, Martin's no.5 I can identify with. And what I find annoying is that the term R & B appears to have been hijacked by that genre. Today I would like to confine the following to Room 101: Tiny Pics with its annoying "You are the 999,999th visitor - Congratulations you have won" message. If you ignore it, it keeps crashing you out. It took me TEN attempts to transfer an image earlier. I now have to sign out and run a scan for the Ad Yield Manager and Trade Doubler cookies and zap them as they are slowing my computer down. Oh for a "F*** off" key on the keyboard ! >:( |

Oh Tommo, you are so right!
R&B is "Rhythm and Blues" - not "Rubbish and Boring" like Hip Hop etc
(And why do they do those stupid twisted hand movements when they rap. And why do all the white kids act and talk "black" - They're rubbish at it!)
And another thing!!!
Why, oh why do jazz musicians think that we want to hear every one of them do a solo in every tune. THERE IS NO PLACE ON EARTH FOR A DOUBLE BASS SOLO! (Except room 101)
Thank you all for listening - my therapist says I'm making good progress.

Thought I'd bump this thread after 3 years.
The anger management therapy seems to have worked, I'm pretty mellow these days............... ;D
But there is one TV advert that 'makes my boil bleed' and I just have to mention it here, otherwise I will be putting my boot through the set next time it appears:
It's a sort of Buzz Lightyear character who raps thus:
"I'M GONNA BUY YOUR HOUSE DOT COM !"
>:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
No you're bl**dy well not ! ;D ;D
