hi smojo, my sentiments to, i like your thinking, all the best oogi.

The list is too long but I'm sure we all agree - Merchant Bankers (rhyming slang also appropriate) and politicians come pretty high on the list. Also those faceless people who are responsible for all the political correctness and health and safety shite - you know, kids having to wear goggles to play conkers, "bah bah black sheep" having to be sung as "bah bah multicoloured sheep", etc etc.
Advertisers, particularly those selling sofas with three letters for a company name. One that seems to amuse and bug me at the same time are the adverts for womens face creams that claim to get rid of wrinkles with made-up pseudo scientific sounding additives like "elastin" and "boswelox"how about pro-shite-inium.
Huge corporations like Tescos taking over the world, doing the small business man out of a living. Wii games that replace ordinary fun acticities with virtual games. What's wrong with buying a real guitar and learning to play the bugger or having a real party and dancing - Blah blah blah.

Talking of supermarkets (the word super is used in the wrong context, can't find anything 'super' about them) Our s/m has about a dozen disabled parking spaces and I can't park there (legally I might add, got the badge) because of some fat f**k of an asian in his big crap car has got the spot. Oh, and I nearly forgot, the fat bitches that are too f**king lazy to walk from the car park (about an extra 20 feet) really get my goat. As for politicians why bother voting at an ellection? They are all a bunch of c***s and the country will be in as much shite as it was with the other lot when they were in. As I aways say " it doesn't matter who you vote for because the government will always get in". Biggest con for making dodgy money ever!!!! I have been around now for nearly 66 years and all I can say is it has gone from bad to total shite in the world. The only religion these days is GREED. Get as much as you can as quick and as easily as you can and if a few people get robbed of their savings WTF kick 'em in the gutter, and go on to the next one. Common decency has gone right out of the window and bad manners prevail. If you can get a kid to play with a game, or want one at christmas/birthday, that hasn't got a 'chip' in it or doesn't require some form of power supply, then you have given birth to an alien! Peer pressure at school these days is is worse that the adult world is. Now I have ranted I will go and do the dusting and vacuuming and become normal again. Happy christmas to all who read these ramblings. Hogs.
I always hand over all such calls to my youngest child she will talk yo anyone and dominate the conversation with her world its all well amusing on speaker phone or just ask them to hang on while you have maybe a pre xmas beer and then tell them to feek orf

Definatly Cold calls on the Telephone line. Just had one from a credit company "we are not trying to sell you anything" as usual I hang up . The cheeky bastard rang back and started having a go at me for bad manners. I should have said OK give me your home number and I will call you at some totally inappropriate time and we will disscuss it then. Time for a pre christmas beer.
How about the fashion of wearing jeans so low that their whole arse sticks out over the top? In fact just fashion itself, designed to be out of fashion next year so you have to buy more stuff. Designer this and that - you pay more to advertise the manufacturers name. Flat packs - yeah I can build them OK but why should we have to do half the work ourselves. Ikea - say no more. Loose women - the tv program not actually loose women. The celebrity culture. Womens magazines that pander to them. People who stand in shop doorways oblivious of anyone trying to get in or out. The use of the word "like" in every sentence by (moslty) young women. "Fun" sized whatever - why is a minute bar of chocolate described as fun size? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
