Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

[Zebedee Tring]

And all this Halloween celebration? Another unwelcome import from the USA.

[the-e-dealer]

Well I'm sure 40 years ago we went around bothering people on Halloween but it wasn't Trick or Trate

[Zebedee Tring]

I don't remember Halloween being a big thing in the UK 40 years ago - Guy Fawkes was the main event then. And there was certainly then no protection racket ... sorry, Trick or Treat.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Doesn't trick or treat come from a Celtic tradition? Wonder if Scotland could copyright it retroactively come independence. That would be a nice revenue stream.

People standing on the left hand side on an escalator.

[Otta]

Yes AM!

[Alan Medic]

Fashion. Is this not keeping up with the sheep as opposed to the Jones?

[maxxi]

The commentator on the Tour de France - stop saying how fecking AMAZING the crowds are, how AMAZING Yorkshire is, how great Britain is at supporting sporting events, how impressive Yorkshire is and how AMAZING the fecking bluddy crowds are!! Seriously. If you've got nowt else to say - shut up!

ETA - later -

Having said that - a few minutes ago waxing lyrical on the scenery "...the bridge over the River Wensleydale..." what a sequel that would have made...

[Zebedee Tring]

Use of the expression "bored of" instead of the perfectly satisfactory "bored with".

[Jah Lush]

I never get bored. Life's too short to get bored. I feel that people who get bored easily are boring.

[Robert Poste's Child]

I defy you to feel the same way after ten minutes of listening to Richard Madeley on R2.

[Jah Lush]

Now why would I want to do that? Anyway, I'm off down the pub.

[Otta]

If I could just go to the pub (or anywhere else) whenever I fancied it, I wouldn't get bored either.

[ruffers]

People making that silly heart sign with their hands. Anyone, not just Gareth Bale. But especially him.

[Otta]

Agreed!

In fact, Gareth Bale's face is another one. Sure he's a nice fella and all that, but he has a face I want to punch.

[the-e-dealer]

Gareth? Is he a footballer?

[Salsaboy]

Vanessa Feltz.

[Otta]

In what universe can she ever be described as a tiny little thing?!?

[the-e-dealer]

The Sumo Wrestling Universe.

[Salsaboy]

Yes, I should have thought of that :)

[Robert Poste's Child]

In the last few years I've really come to respect Vanessa Feltz. She's highly intelligent and articulate, and her radio show on BBC London is an impressively high standard. She's also funny, able to laugh at herself and gets a lot out of life. I think a lot of the criticism tends to be driven by covert sexism. Roll on the day when a woman isn't automatically put down for being overweight and over 40, or for (heaven forbid) speaking her mind.

[KidKruger]

Stepping a bit above your station there, RPC.

[Otta]

Haha.

Seriously, I just can't stand her and never have been able to stand her.

I respect her for appearing on Mongrels though.

[Zebedee Tring]

I don't like Ms Felz either - but not because she's traditionally built. And there are a lot of fat blokes on TV who aren't criticised because of their size.
