Pet hates ?

SteppenHerring

Mild cheddar. What is the point? What a waste of milk.

Also (obviously) the motorists who overtake me (doing 35mph) going down into Langley Vale then stamp on the brakes when they see the speed bumps.

On the bike I hate having my waterproof stuffed in my back jersey pocket - it always feels like it's making the other two gape open and I find myself checking for my wallet and phone every 100 yards.

Off the bike I hate, hate, hate people proffering opinions on my food. Last week a conversation at work went -

Person - "What you eating?"
Me - "A sandwich"
Person - "What's on it?"
Me - "Roast beef, salad, bit of horseradish"
Person - "Eww, revolting"
Me - " :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: "

Sorry but that's a crap sandwich

Motorists who choose the telekenisis option, instead of the standard indicators. :evil:

I hate most of the mums at the school when I take my daughter

They stand in entrances and chat.
They go in to the cloakroom to help their kids when the kids are perfectly capable.
They peer into the class window when the class starts.
They moan at the teacher over FA.
Most of them are right munters too.

Probably OK to cook with. Wouldn't put in in a sandwich, though.

That does sound bad. Horseradish, even a bit is a vile concoction.

Probably not enough calories for you Americans, a Dennis?

I have a real snobbish, superior, pet hate about people who think they know history just because they're smart.

I get irritated that while someone with a good science degree is considered some authority on their chosen subject, a historian gets no such luck in day to day discussions.

Hee hee what is the degree you are doing ?

Pet hates? The word 'sarnie' for starters. :evil:

And 'yummy', scrummy', 'lush'.... Arrgh!

They actually mean "may I have", but that's another tale.

My brother once saw the Ordinary Boys in Hull's Adelphi, which is a converted semi. The room they were playing in was so small that Preston heard and looked really crestfallen when between songs little brother turned to his mate and said "These are sh!t, I'm off".

...and pedants!!

Love the Preston story.Reminds me of a tale about Blur in their early days.Damon had climbed onto the speaker stack at a gig and after performing one number perched on the edge he found he couldn't get down .He had to spend the rest of the show there.I believe he said "could someone get me a ladder"!

No problem, says more about me if anything anyway. Don't know what it is about 'sarnie', but it really irritates me when I hear people say it. May be a Jamie Oliver thing.

Following on from Andy162... Baby on Board stickers.

"I was going to crash into your car horribly killing everyone inside, but now I see you have a child so I shan't bother".

Oh and BMWs and everyone who drives one.

I think they alert the emergency services to the fact that there may be a baby on board in serious accidents, so they do have a place.

I'll let you off though DG, 'cos I love the Whigs! They should have been huge...

andy162

+2 for Whigs. I was in a band in my dingy past & blagged our manager into blagging their manager to get a support with them. We got the nod @ about dinnertime then made a mad dash to Glasgow for tea. They liked us I guess so we did another date with them in Leeds later in the week....happy days!

I once had a drink with Greg Dulli, fulfilling a long held ambition of mine.

Shops that have an entire aisle devoted to potato crisps and bad chocolate, another one for 2 litre bottles of sugary fizzy drinks, an entire row of freezers selling ice cream and frozen cakes, but don't sell tofu, unsliced wholemeal bread, wholemeal pasta, real coffee, a decent range of frozen veg or healthy snacks. And we wonder why we have an obesity problem...

Sticky labels on nice new things that don't peel off without leaving a residue that is impossible to remove.
