Grrrr! Rant! Mangle! and a chicken...

Neds. One day there actually isn't going to be enough petrol left in the world to burn all these little buggers. Next one I see scrawling on a wall is going to get a very nasty shock.

Drunks. I got attacked on the way home last saturday by 3 drunks. The city is full of them morning, noon and night. Today on the way into work at 9:30am there were 3 drunks bouncing there way up the bridges, with pint glasses in hand. Is this what we want people thinking of Edinburgh as? No. Feckin drunks.

Vegetarians who try to preach the moral high ground. You know the ones who tell you it would all be different if you had to kill the animal yourself? Well I have done on more than one occassion and I'm sorry but the rabbit and the chicken and the numerous fish all tasted just fine thank you. That apparently isn't an appropriate answer to give. I've nothing against people who, for whatever reason, choose to be vegetarian. More power to them. Just don't lecture me about the evils of eating meat because I like it and I have no problem with killing an animal to eat it if I have to. Sorry.

Never getting a moment to myself. Ever. Ever ever ever...

People who spend an hour taking up your time, browsing the shelves and then specifically asking you for something that they know isn't there "because of you had it I'd buy it" and then when you do find it behind the counter they shrug and tell you its not that good after all and then leave.

Newsreaders who deliberately confuse terminology for shock value.

Stupid taglines in adverts. I'm sorry but if comfort fabric softner makes getting dressed the best part of going out for a night then you need to get a life and possibly some new friends. Sorry.

Daily Mail readers. All of them. That isn't a newspaper. Its not even a spacestation. Its just a festering turd of misrepresented liable waiting to happen.

D&D players who don't seem to understand that their busted ass combo o' death really doesn't interest me. Even after I've told them so. Twice.

Lucy when she's bitching about hurting herself like its my fault ;)

People who ask you for your recommendations, ignore them, buy the game you tell them not to because its bad and then complain about how you sold them a bad game. Come on people. Listen to the man who knows and ignore his advice if you want but don't bitch about it when you do and it goes horribly wrong.

People who resurrect old dead threads on forums. If its not been touched for a month, leave well enough alone.

Threaded forums. See above...

People who try to make me enter into the Jaffa cakes: Cake or Biscuit debate, and the Ninjas vs Pirates argument too. I'm not doing it, so don't bother. Apart from anything else its shop policy for employees not to express an opinion while at work. You wouldn't want me to have to start issuing warnings now would you.

Badly cooked chicken. How you can cook a chicken breast so its that damn dry must take some kind of special effort. Possibly training too.

Live Journal. Above and beyond all the other problems I have with the LJ community and their failure to interact outside of it, advertising your engagement party only on your LJ and expecting people to turn up to it is one thing. Bitching at me for not being there in an email when you never sodding told me in the first place because I don't HAVE and LJ is going a bit far. Congratulations on getting married, glad the honeymoon was fun. We don't all use LJ honey. Sorry.

Actually, maybe I should stop here. The list is getting a little long...

Maybe more next week. And yes, I am a very angry man. You might have noticed.
