Just a small list..
1. Fight Club - just did not enjoy that movie.
2. Rollercoasters - feeling like you might die for 10 seconds??
3. Listening to depressing music because you're feeling down - No, listen to happy music to cheer you the fuck up.
4. American TV Dramas like Lost, CSI, Prison Break etc etc. - The overacting just pisses me off and makes everything seem so unbelievable.
5. Twitter - If I want to know what you're up to I'll go and visit you.

Digital TV
FFS, who on earth thinks endlessly repeated episodes of the same show night after night are of any use to anyone except those with severe alzheimers and angry loners?
Even the repeats of decent shows like Top Gear, MTW and so forth on Dave start to get on your nerves after the umpteenth re-screening.
Are these channels really making so little from advertising revenue that they cant afford to produce a decent sitcom or drama?
All I see these days are z-list celebrity and prolitarian talent shows (talent is used tentatively), reality TV shows, (put the bad kids with the strict parents, etc - when will they take my idea for one of those shows, "Put the bad kids with the angry pitbulls"???) and fly on the wall documentaries ranging from following the police about at night to what happened next when the unassuming man being followed around by a camera crew turns out to be a feckless millionaire whose underpants cost more than you feed your family on for a week.
I pay an ever increasing TV license for 10% of decent viewing and 90% repeated crap.

The portions at 'posh' restaurants
Being a lazy student, I have recently found myself spending a portion* of my evening watching masterchef on the BBC. Now something I didn't realise about 'posh' food at expensive restaurants is that the portion size is pathetic! Just 1 piddly lump of meat on a bed of leaves or something. Why would you pay £40 for a course that leaves you hungry still? If I was to pay £40 for a meal I would expect to be able to rupture my stomach with the gastronomical feast presented to me, not be given half a stick of marinated celery drizzled with Gnocchi Wine Sauce and told its a quality meal. Apparently its about the quality of taste, but in my opinion a burger and chips for a fiver that actually fills you up is a better idea. Or am I just missing something?

What the hell is the attraction of watching soembody you've never heard of before, or somebody you vagely remeber as having "that fucking annoying song from 10 years ago" crawl through an Autralina swamp and eat the testicles of some exotic animal or lock themselves away in a house for weeks on end while beign filmed?

And then it all you see on magazine/newspaper stands and its all people in the office talk about.

Lots of disparate things to get through, bear with me.:
Cartoons. Remember when they were slightly more than an extended toy advert? I don't understand why anyone would willingly expose themselves to any cartoon made in the last ten years. I recently gave my friend's eight year old daughter a box set of Animaniacs, and even she with her tiny idiot child mind can tell the difference in quality. The same goes for animé; it's not edgy and cool, it's the Japanese equivalent of Ben 10. Unless it's Evangelion. That was excellent.

Hip-hop: Well, lots of it, anyway. I adore cLOUDDEAD, and dälek, and that album Bong-Ra did with those Dutch rap singers, but why do people go potty for some bell-end in ill-fitting pants talking about how many cars he's got over a tidied-up, super-compressed sample from Give The Drummer Some? For fuck's sake, learn to play the drums and come up with your own beats, you prick. Same goes for every copy and paste breakcore artist using the same Amen break in 5/4 because Venetian Snares does it. Fuck off.

Folk Metal: What? What? Playing generic late 80's thrash is bad enough in itself, but why do you have to add a fucking washboard and lute? What's worse is going to one of the European metal festivals and watching a crowd sullenly tolerate a band like Pig Destroyer, then go fucking nuclear when the next band launches into a brutal penny whistle solo. YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT.

Metallica: Yeah, and Slayer. Great stepping stones for kids to listen to in order to exapnd their tastes and discover new, exciting music, but why do so many of them get stuck there? Slayer haven't written a great album since 1986, and Metallica have never put together a consistent record of truly great songs, yet they get these diehard oafs that slavishly buy their every bloated release and treat it like it was manna from heaven. Fuck off and progress a little, buy an Absu album if you like Slayer, or some Prong if you like Metallica, and see what you could have won.

Abusive porn: As my lady lives 200 miles away, I'm an occasional patron of sites like Redtube. Why are there adverts all over it for sites like 18 And Abused? Puts me right off, that. It's just impolite.

Mayonnaise: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? It's filth!

Editors: They sound like Scott Walker laughing at Ian Curtis because he can't get it up, and they've paid £30 for this hooker and hahaha, Ian's going to be out of pocket on this one! There's also a broken Casio in the hotel room. And it's raining, and the window is open.

Yeah.

EDIT: ALSO! Nintendo. Why do they get all the lovingly printed shirts and retro chic? The consoles were ugly, the games were mostly terrible and Mario is a cunt. Sonic was way better. And Final Fantasy VII, that was shit too. As was every Square RPG since Secret of Mana, which wasn't really very good. Give me Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu, please; a game that actually does something.

Not proper Rythm and Blues, but the new fangled rubbish. I've no idea how to 'mack a ho' or whatever they're blathering about.

Why?

Nearly all my friends at school thought they were amazing. I like to think I have a pretty broad spectrum of musical taste, but I just don’t get Marillion.

I’ve always had a suspicion that they deliberately made their music overcomplicated so people thought you had to be intelligent to ‘get’ it. I don’t listen to music so that people might think I’m clever, you’d have to be pretty stupid to do that.

There music makes me want to staple my man tits to a childs bike. I genuinely hope they all fall down a well. The people who are into these bands were into dance music 3 years ago before they were told to like someone else. They've inspired countless twatish dress senses, skinny jeans & check shirts with hair-cuts that would make Limahl spit in their gaunt fucking faces. I genuinely hate music now. Oh, & one more thing, if there signed to Sony, Universal etc... THERE NOT FUCKING INDIE!!! For the confused amongst you, indie means independant as in independant label.

Russel Brand, Noel Felding, The Mighty Boosh, Ricky Gervais
Russel Brand - erm where is the comedy? I honestly don't think hes actually ever said anything funny. I wanted him fired from BBC not cause i give a shit about Andrew Sachs but just cause Russel Brand is a cunt.

Noel Felding - This goes beyond not actually finding him funny, the guy just irritates me so much i want to punch him in the face again and again and again....... None of his stand up is funny its just saying gibberish. Talking of which....

The Mighty Boosh - What the fuck is this, who watches it? Moving into halls for uni last year my flatmate i met seemed sound, and he raved about this show, how it was brilliant sitcom of the decade. So i got persuaded to watch the dvd (worst xmas present ever btw). What the hell is this? Not one thing was funny, it seems random just for the sake of being random. The writers just wanted to tap into this tight jeaned wearing indie cunt crowd who apparently love randomness. Apparently in the process they didn't actually add anything remotely funny. I mean seriously yes it is random but not one funny situation or joke or even prat fall is ever used.

Apparently a man singing about eels pissing on some bearded guy passes for comedy these days. And trust me if you find that funny may i recommend a night out in Portsmouth, you'll find it hiarious.

Rick Gervais - Never found the office funny, his stand up wasn't funny, saw one episode of extras wasnt funny. His heads so far up his own arse he turned down all these film roles so he can appear in great films such as........ Yeah i think this mans never actually done anthing funny... in his whole life.

I suppose it's not so much an attraction, more of a habit
that people wear black for a funeral. People do it because it's what is expected, but I don't see the point. Why can't mourners respect the personality of the deceased and dress as they would to any other get together that the deceased would've normally attended?

The last funeral I went to, I dressed 'smart but casual'. The next one (I have a lot of elderly relatives, but they're all good for a laugh) I'll be wearing a t-shirt and jeans.

I want my funeral to be fancy-dress.

The Beatles
OK, they were alright but do they really deserve the uncritical adulation, as if every song was a classic? They weren't the only big band in the 60's; The Who, The Rolling Stones and The Jimi Hendrix Experience immediately spring to mind as bands who were at least as good, if not better. The first time I listened to Revolver I found it dull, plodding and uninspiring.

In fact, my relatives who were teenagers themselves at the time have told me that liking The Beatles in the 60's was the musical equivalent of football "fans" from Maidstone declaring themselves dedicated Man Utd supporters; glory-hunting herd-followers.

Football.
I really dont understand what people see in football. Yes, I "get" the rules, and I understand that people lke to support a team, but I dont understand why it turns into such an obsession.

I dont understand the hatred - Some of my family support Rangers, despite living nowhere near Glasgow. They have an automatic, deep-seated hatred of anyone who supports Celtic, and this is pretty much the norm for many supporters. Yes, there is the underlying religious bollocks associated with it, but does that fully explain it or is one an excuse for the other?

I dont undertand the players - Granted, I hardly have an in-depth personal knowledge of them, but the majority seem to be barely literate thugs. Yet, their sporting ability seemingly makes them worthy of our worship? Why do people think that someone who spits on the ground every 30 seconds and can barely string a sentence together is a good role-model for kids?

The money - I really, really dont get the money involved. Club turnover, ticket sales, sponsorship, players wages...the sums involved are vastly beyond the comprehension of normal working folk. A quick Google shows that in 2006 the average premiership player earned £676000, which is £13k PER WEEK! If every premiership player were to donate a month or two`s wage into a fund every year - and lets face it, they are hardly on the breadline and likely to miss that money - just think of the genuinely good work that could be done with that sort of money - Hundreds of doctors and nurses could be employed full time, permanantly - hospitals could be refurbished etc etc. If they were to do something like this, rather than buying another obnoxiously large 4x4 and squirreling the rest away into an offshore account then I would have a lot more respect for them. THAT would make them a better role model - someone who uses their talent and the money they earn from it to help out their community.

I'll just get this out of the way now...
My mate Sean is a good hearted sort of bloke, but a bit lacking in the common sense department. For instance, he offered to come and help me out on my allotment once and we agreed we’d meet at 1 o’clock. I was already there when he arrived, and to my horror he proceeded to galumph across the land, stamping on potatoes and cabbages as he went.

“What the bloody hell are you doing?” I asked, not unreasonably in my view.

“I’ve come to help you”, he replied, utterly bemused.

“Yes, but you’ve stamped all over half the bloody crop”.

“Well, how else was I going to get here?”

I sighed, and pointed to a well-worn pathway, trodden into the grass at the side of the allotment. “There’s a track, Sean”.

“Oh”, he replied apologetically. “I didn’t see it”.
