    I believe it's treatable, possibly even surgically removable.

    I've just remembered another one - Lexus style light clusters on any car except a Lexus, looks crap, so why does everyone who mods a car seem to do it?

    Are you SURE you want me in on THIS one?

    • Whistling
    • Abba
    • Piezo electric beepers - they're in EVERYTHING from phones to keyrings, and they're at that one frequency that sets me off!)
    • That INCREDIBLY loud woman across the floorplate from me at work - she needs a sock in her gob!
    • Middle management - remove the lazy tossers, and save the NHS and public sector. You're SUPPOSED to WORK, not hold endless pointless meetings. Slackers - and they get paid MORE than the worker ants for that. Assholes.
    • The UK - we've been to the dogs since the 60s thanks to the pinko brigade
    • Lowlife scum who know their "rights" while they burglarise your house, then get given a nice foreign holiday and sympathy for the emotional trauma they suffered when you dared to knife one of them for threatening your little daughter and wife (well, it'll GO that way - let's face it; Tony Martin - we salute you!)
    • Criminal Justice Bill - what justice?
    • Equality - women want it, and still expect the man to change the lightbulbs and unscrew the jars, then get arsey when you hold the door open for them.
    • Dogs - well all bar about 2 that I've met anyway
    • Chavs
    • Children - unless brought up properly
    • Mathematics - computers were designed for a reason!
    • Tax - why do we pay into the NHS to only have to pay for everything again - get those lazy Dole scroungers off their asses and into work)
    • BOGUS asylum seekers/ILLEGAL immigrants (nothing against genuine ones - all 10% of them)
    • People who moan and whine, then don't do anything to solve their situation (my sister, in other words - fat bitch that she is)
    • Buddweiser - King of beers my arse - prince of p*ss morelike
    • Mobile phone ringtones
    • Mobile phones at work
    • Cyclists who ride on the pavement at night with no lights or helmet
    • Car drivers who moan about the weather - most of that climate screw up is YOUR FAULT guys!
    • Mothers in 4x4s - good one, Will
    • ...but, people whinging about speed cameras - you drive in the speedlimit, you don't have a problem - what's the big deal???
    • Career women
    • Labour
    • Conservative
    • George W
    • Rechargeable batteries - they always die when you most need them
    • Sweetcorn - why is it ALWAYS in mixed veg?
    • Washing/washing up/hoovering - when will that robot, promised in the 60s, come out that can do all this? (and don't say "get a wife" - he he - it's still 50/50 split and there's DOUBLE the work then!
    • TV adverts - one, they're all about cars or families, and two, they're always 5000dB louder than the programmes
    • Hot weather when you're at work
    • Debt
    • Speed of modern life
    • Pollution
    • Media coverage of "news", like David Blunkett getting a woman up the duff - who gives a sh**?

    That's the advantage of a symbol cane and being partially sighted - I broadside them at full speed and ignore their indignant moans - if they can't see my cane why should I see them? ;) Never tried walking over a buggy though - even I have more feelings for scummy little vermin (chav children) then that!

    <Finchy mode>"While yer down there, love!"</>

    Dam right about the women who sleep their way to the top - I call that inverse sexual harrassment.

    Yeah - forgot about that - they go for my eyes (it's the eyedrops I use) so I tend to kill them if I can - and I usually don't try to kill anything - even moths and flies get trapped and let outdoors, but wasps? No way. Evil little sh*ts!

    The only good wasp is a 1980s metal band!

    I've got some more - well, all in one really:
    People who can't use CapITaL LeTTeRs properly in document titles - initial and full caps is bloody hard to read or is deemed to be shouting. Also, those who can't use words properly, such as:
    • It's - its
    • Where's - wears
    • Sell - Sale
    • Their - There
    • Weather - Whether
    • Your - You're

    Oh - and God as well. How the hell a fairytale can sell that many copies, be so full of inconsistencies, and still be deemed by some to be the manual we should be using to lead our lives is fekking beyond me. People should read the "Celestine Prophecy" instead and try something new. Also, religion gave us the epic WORST RHYMING PAIR ever:
    "Given/Heaven"

    geeez Dom I thought my list was long, but it would seem I left quite a few off there, total class!

    Time to add some more I think

    People who screw the benifits system and make a living off it, yes this DOES happen, and its OUR effing money.
    Car drivers with bad road manors, who pull our in front or cut you up, and I suppose if I hit them it would be my fault - assholes.
    Council Planning departments, interprit the guidlines how they like, tossers.
    Toriests who don't know the meaning of QUEUE.
    The Media, always getting the wrong end of the stick and messing up people's lives when most of us couldn't give a shit anyway.
    Telewest TV, crap cables boxes that freeze every 10 minutes and take an hour to change channel.
    Michel Schumacher, Make F1 interesting again, ban this guy from racing or better still stick him in a Manardi! See how well he does then!
    the speed of the internet, or rather lack there off, I'm in a 8mb backbone and its still SLOW.
    Customers who don't know if their shitting, showering or shaving, god make a choice and stick to it!
    Sash windows, they rattle, drafty and yet people still want them, like WHY!
    People who insist on having a Period house, look we live in the 21st centry, we should be moving forward not Backwards!
    Builders who say they'll drop a quote in but don't and you have to keep chasing them,
    My Wife's family, grrr, they drive me nuts!
    Ebay sellers who sell faulty items as new and then don't return your emails.
    Mens, so called, Fashon, mens clothes suck, unless you like, black, grey or white, ya really exciting.
    Tie's, a health hazard, I refuse to wear one.
    The whole "looking smart for work" bull, I sit behind a desk, what difference does it make?

    I think that'll do for today.

    The problem is, they did, or rather, he did that to himself by signing for Ferrari, when the team was in the doldrums with an underpowered, evil-handling monstrosity of a car - and he won three times that first year, including lapping most of the field (or was it all the field?) in pouring rain in Spain in a car running on nine cylinders!

    True, but then Ferrari has money, Manardi don't so thee is no chance of him "improving " the car, so hopefully he'll only get 1/2 way up the grid at best.

    Unwashed, Loud, Yobbo's who push in @ the bar with no thought for other people.

    Football, Rugby, Formula 1, most sports really.

    Pubs that have the TV on – If you wanna watch TV stay @ home.

    Noisy Children who will not do as they are told.

    Parents who do not discipline their loutish children.

    Pushy sales people who pounce as soon as you walk through the door.

    Dogs & their owners who let them shit anywhere.

    All things Euro and the people who think it would be good for me – How the F*/*- do you know what is good for me.

    Foreigners who like to tell us what the UK can and cannot do.

    European Immigration Law – Why do we have to take the most?

    Countries who have got a never-ending begging bowl.

    Mayor Of London

    UK Welfare System

    England football supporters who are on holiday, You are an embarrassment – Christ it's only game played by overpaid talent less Dickheads who rely on morons paying absurd admission fees to see them.

    People who wear football shirts – Scruffy Gits.

    Companies who make the British working man redundant, then F/**-Off to cheap labour countries and ruin people's live for the sake of a few quid.

    Yours really made me laugh especialy this one. Those computers are 16 years old, surely you can forgive IBM for producing the ill fated MCA bus now? It did also take 5 years for the other companies to come with an alternative I.E PCI.

    I remember buying a PS/2 model 55, it was a 386DX25 as far as I remember with 4MB RAM. I bought it dirt cheap because some idiot had "killed" it by trying to put Windows 95 onto it.
