my god yes!!!

in fact I've extended this into a hatred of all wheeled luggage: it's merely enabled peopel to travel with five times more stuff than they need.

if you can't carry it, don't f * cking take it, I say.

You should need to be an OAP to buy the things.

What? With national treasure Mr S. Fry? Say it isn't so. It's just people being (mostly) funny about random stuff...


Q1 in the UK, though, I find a bit depressing. Holiday season is over and it's cold and miserable. Brrr

Yeah! Fry gets on my wick - know-it-all type. I know that everyone loves him and Q1, so hence picking it out as my irrational hate.

Those family members who are teenagers fall into the former category for everyone else, of course.

Q1 starts in April here, depends on your financial year I suppose.

People who insist that there should be 2 spaces after every full stop.

A left over from when people used typewriters, when people were taught to leave a double space after full stops, I think. Word processing has made it unnecessary, but old habits die hard.

I have two colleagues here who put anywhere between 2 and 8 (eight) spaces after full stops, apparently entirely at random. One of them's a lawyer, too - there's probably some vital legal meaning in the size of spaces in the small print.

I hate hate hate the feeling of cheap wooden chopsticks if you put them in your mouth dry.

I also hate men to whom women are attracted. All of them.

Although Mr Fry has recently gone down in my estimation and that of many others following his espousal of some pretty backward ideas on women.

Nah. I think it was all rather an over-reaction to something taken out of context. And I think his blog post on the matter was pretty reasonable.

You are correct. I should have put Q1 in the SE rather than UK... although for the last couple of years there has been snow aplenty.

Pandas - I f*cking hate pandas

picky eaters they are!

Too right.

What self respecting omnivore wakes up one morning and decides to eschew their previous dietary choices in favour of a diet consisting solely of sticks? They completely ignore the fact that they have neither the dentition or digestive tract to extract adequate energy from the said sticks, as a consequence of this stupidity they lack the energy required to rut in order to preserve their species. Grrrroooooooaaaarrr f*cking pandas!

I'm not sure it was that out of context, when you read the full quote, but I'm willing to file it in the same box as Newton being into Astrology and Alchemy.

I found that article quite funny. It goes with the discussion I have with my male friends about how blokes who shag around are congratulated for it and women who do so are criticised - it's too easy for women to be slags!

And Sewinman, are you just running with your Q1 typo?

I like Q1. My birthday's in Q1. I also like QI.

Sewinman

Weird, I had not even noticed the typo...something wired up wrongly in my head there.

I hate the feeling of tissue paper napkins on my finger nails or teeth....I have to pick napkins out individually from napkin vending contraptions for fear of brushing my fingernails.

what about hats?

TheStone

- people who blow their noses every 2 mins.
- suit jackets with jeans
- little people with massive umbrellas
- seafood. (not big fish, all the little bits of the ocean floor)
- "culture"

Agree on the earlier wheeled luggage thing. (but I'd like an exception for my bike box?)

If your dad doesn't have a beard, you've got two mums.

A wizard needs a beard, and I reckon that also goes for commanders.

The complete list is too long, but just for starters:

people eating in foodshops

incorrect use of "myself" (e.g. Myself and Rob will be doing that)

I hate those people (generally middle class), who eat half the food walking round the store, then hand empty packets to the checkout.

Shoreditch and Clerkenwell. Fecking faux-trendy 'groove armada' bollocks.

Soho. I refuse to eat at any restaurant in Soho. There I've said it.

Nobody cares, so stop twatting. Or whatever it's called.

Football / Football Reporters
Why oh why the endless cycle, year after year... can't you just play one season, decide who's best, and leave it at that?! ... and why does the media insist on ramming every stupid little detail of every stupid little match down everyones throat for days and days after the event?!

Hype.
Nothing puts me off wanting to be involved in or watching something more than people banging on and on about it. Yes, this weeks new blockbuster movie probably is very good, but we've just suffered a million weeks of pre-release marketing and bland 'star' interviews and I'm now so sick of hearing about it I can't be ar$ed to go and see it.

I take his and your point, although railing against people being show-off know-it-alls is a bit rich coming from him.
