Advantages: Letting off a little steam

Disadvantages: I didn't hate as much as I thought I would

Its hard to know just how many little things piss us all off. I'm sure I must have loads, but I'll only know when I'm finished writing this just how many of those little irritations I would relegate to Room 101.

Snakes
=====
I absolutely fear these creatures. Many people use the word phobia to describe their intense dislike of something, but my fear of snakes isn't just a dislike, its an absolute phobia where I break into sweats if I even see a picture of one. I wouldn't wish them on the other items in Room 101, but I've made it my first choice anyway.

Bus Drivers
========
They have all these stickers on the buses now talking about people who abuse drivers. They will be prosecuted. Well fair enough, nobody should feel unsafe in their jobs. However, in contrast, the attitude of many bus drivers is disgraceful. I have seen people humiliated over the head of five pence just because they didn't know the fares had been hiked up the day before. These drivers should either work with animals or be sent to an intense course in how to deal with the public.

Noisy people on buses
================
Yes, we know you have a mobile phone. Now could you have the conversation quietly. That also goes for those Cascada loving trainer-wearing neds who can afford a phone at £150 but not a set of earphones from the pound shop. If I want to listen to music, I'll listen to the music of my choice and privately. Lastly, you being a heroine addict does not make me deaf.

People who cant apologise
===================
My youngest brother is the most infuriating person I have ever met. He is very argumentative and aggresive, and there is just no telling him when he is wrong. He'll either shut down and refuse to talk about it, or he'll kick up a fuss about something you've said even if you only said it in retaliation to something much worse that he said. Anyway, I choose not to discuss anything with him anymore, but I would much prefer that I could and that he could just admit when he's wrong.

Gangfighting
=========
Three streets away from here, a gang of teenagers jot about together. They are always fighting with another gang from the next village. Whenever you get off the bus or train on the summer evenings, they are always there sticks and bricks ready. I cant tell you how many close encounters I've had with a flying nail.

Victoria Beckham
============
There's only one thing more annoying than Vic The Stick and her carbon cut out records that I couldn't name one of, and thats those people who read her daft book and tell us all just what a hard life she's had. Yeah, looks like it. I'm sure she had to scrub floors to send her 3 kids to school with their lunch money, or dodge the door from the tv licence people so that she could afford to pay the electrickery bill. She should bog off, stay out of sight, and stop inflicting her hard luck story on people who should know better.

Jordan
=====
The same applies to her.

Dannii Minogue
===========
Yes, love, we know you were on the telly first, you've only been telling us since 1991. Yes, you were much fatter than Kylie, much more aggresive, and you were also the first to get married. We wont mention that you were also first to get divorced. Now the real question is who will be first to have a number 1 record... too late. Dannii cant sing, yet she's giving advice to some of the best singers we have in this country. I'm trying to think of something that Dannii could do that would actually allow her to step out of big sis' shadow. I'm thinking lap dancing in a lesbian strip joint. Oops... she was the first to do that as well.

The Jade Goody Furore
================
I will start by saying how sad it is that a young woman died of a terrible disease that takes all too many lifes, and how utterly devastating it must be to know that you'll have to leave your kids. I wont dispute that. However, did we need to have every detail poured over us with dollups of manipulation on top for good measure. Couldn't she have followed the example of the classy Wendy Richard and led out her last days with some dignity. I've heard the argument about her providing an education for her kids. Thats all well and good, but what about the other millions of children who will just carry on going to our government run schools? Many will fall through the system, and end up with kids at 16, drug addictions or dead. A good many though will go onto carry the torch for our doctors, lawyers and police forces. Jade Goody wasn't illiterate because of our educational system, she was illiterate because she grew up in a family who probably didn't know how to spell the word homework, let alone do it with their daughter nightly.

Smokers
======
Smoke all you like, its your health. Please though, please dont walk in front of me and blow it all over me and my clothes. It doesn't come with a health warning just to give you a giggle as you puff your 80 a day. Its a disgusting, health-threatening habit that I dont really want to pay the price for. Not with my taxes and not with my lungs.

Journalists who slate everything and everybody
=================================
Excuse me, I am not like those journalists. I just know what I like and what I dont. I read an article yesterday from that arrogant tosser in the sun. Cant remember his name. Anyway, he was slating Mr Cowell and his svengali attitude towards his acts, and raving about that 'Britain's Got Talent' woman with eyebrows that you could knit a cardigan with. Well if she's talented, she'll have her moment in the sun - not the newspaper if she's lucky. Thats not to say though that shows like X Factor haven't produced talent before. Who is he to decide who has raw talent and who is manufactured. Alexandra Burke and Leona Lewis have voices that Whitney Houston would give up her daily injections for. Whilst Kelly Clarkson is one of the best acts to come from American Idol. Just because these shows are talent shows doesn't mean that we should discard some of the talent that comes from it. You might have a point with Leon Jackson.

Leon Jackson
=========
Whilst we're on the subject. Who the hell voted for this wet blanket. Its a bad day when you wheel out Kylie Minogue on a talent show, and she sings you off the stage. Not that I dont love the little bird, but come on, she's hardly a voice to be reckoned with. That should have been the early warning signs that this non-entity would disappear up his own scottish backside as soon as the initial novelty value wore off.

Michelle McManus, Lulu and Sir Sean Connery
===============================
I'm on a roll now. McManus is more famous for her portly figure than her songs. She should now retire. Lulu should have retired forty years ago, but keeps on turning up with boyband members half her age to crucify classic records. She doesn't even like Britain. Mr Connery, dont appear in our adverts promoting our country if you aren't prepared to contribute to the tax system you evading b**tard.

Dogs that bark during the night
======================
I love dogs, but they should only go to owners who are prepared to take the time to train them properly.

Neighbours that bark during the night
==========================
Unfortunately you cant train neighbours, all you can do is try and scream louder than them.

Neighbours who are just barking
=======================
I've got one of them as well. She makes Michael Keaton in Pacific Heights look positively sane and approachable.

Neighbours
========
Is anybody still watching this. They've went through so many Australian actors that they've had to go back to the beginning again. Except, only Stefan Dennis was unemployed at the time.

Australian soaps
============
They had their day, now kill em all off. Home and Away thinks its serious drama, maybe in Australia it is.

Kilts
===
I love kilts as well, but I hate women who stick their hands up to see if you're wearing underwear. The next time somebody does it to me at a wedding, I might be tempted to stick my big gay hand right up her skirt to see if she's wearing any knickers.


I have ran out of steam, this should be enough to let the rant out for now. If I think of anymore, I may add later.

Summary: Putting this lot in the room 101.
