This is really annoying. I'm often thinking of the five things that I'd put on my 'Room 101' list, but I've forgotten two of them. Here's the three I can remember
bagpipes - can anyone detect a tune amongst the racket?
poetry - especially the stuff that doesn't rhyme.
Air hand dryers in public loos - you know, the ones where you frantically wave your hands about trying to get the thing to come on. And when they do, the water dries really slowly, meaning that someone will stand behind you, pressuring you to leave with hands still wet. Give me paper hand towells every time!
One (hopefully) short term hate are those Michael Winner ("Hello Mum") insurance adverts.
Oh, and also Jack Bauer's daughter in "24", who justs spends her time running from one grave situation to another. Every time a baddie captures her, I pray that this time they'll kill her.
Oooh goodie! (NOT sarcastic, in case you're still feeling sensitive) Email being v slow these past few days though so I may not get it for a while....:-(
I'm with you on the chewing gum Tulips. The rational part of me thinks it's a somewhat unattractive but understandable habit for e.g. would-be smokers. The intolerant prejudiced me who obviously dominates most of the time thinks: Chewing gum = uncouth oik
Other irrational hates (rational hates of bad drivers etc no need to mention) Women with very long nails. How can they DO anything with talons half an inch above the tips of their fingers. And they're obviously not piano players. Also, women with loads of make-up = vain and have too much time in the morning.
People with bad sunburn who nevertheless must display as much of their raw pink flesh as possible.
That fat guy in Asda with his gut hanging out and his trousers half way down his @rse.
That man down the local insurance brokers who looks just like a frog.
Men who think they're being helpful directing me into car park spaces (I know how to reverse thank you).
I said I'd forgotten two of my five pet hates, and you just came up with one of them - long fingernails. I find them a complete turn off. I also hate painted toenails. Feet are just plain ugly - why would you want to draw attention to them?
Cash bars at weddings. In fact, English weddings in general - snotty ushers, ludicrous 30-year-old bridesmaids, boring stupid speeches, stupid hats. Lighten up! Get drunk for free! Enjoy yourselves! (i got married in France, btw).
EastEnders, barbara windsor, the Krays and the whole lav-yer-mam them-was-good-boys they-only-did-it-to-their-own cockney gangster nostalgia thing.
Pay and display car parks with "No Change Given" signs proudly displayed.
The Lib Dems.
People who tut and look angry when I bring my kids on a plane, when they're the ones who are getting drunk and making all the noise.
The BBC licence fee, school uniforms, the royal family and all the other daft anachronisms we simply can't be bothered to get rid of.
ITV going to use the stapler and finding it empty litter bugs total strangers calling me by my Christian name when they're trying to sell me something on the telephone
working in Microsoft Excel, putting lots of directory names in the cells and having that f**king awful "assistant" pop up everytime I type "/home" instead of "'/home"
grrrrrr where's Bill Gates? Stick him on this list too
Arrogance Chewing Gum Lily Savage Ian Duncan-Smith Tapioca Marzipan Talking on Mobile Whilst Driving No Manners (Please and Thank You) Selfishness Motor Car or Bike Racing Knee and Foot Injuries Fluffy Women who give the rest of us a bad name Bad Toiletry Manners
Ooh yes marzipan, I knew there was something else. Yukkkk. Does my outfit make me look like a Fluffy Woman, Rabbit? (Dr Nic shakes her lustrous blonde curls)

Spans - I am quite squidgy though, so you wouldn't hurt yourself!

also buses, learner drivers, boring lecturers, traffic wardens and the central line in rush hour
