These Aren’t a few of my Favourite Things
As I’ve had a very long day and I’m not in the mood to form a balanced argument on various aspects of life and the world around us, here is a list of things that annoy me:
- humming,
- chewing,
- irritating people at the head of long queues on hot days who faff and complain,
- people walking behind me,
- noisy shoes,
- people walking behind me with noisy shoes,
- walking smokers,
- walking smokers walking behind me with noisy shoes,
- Chelsea fans,
- Arsenal fans,
- Manchester United fans,
- supporters of teams that aren’t those three clubs who feel obliged to support them in Europe,
- English weather,
- people who complain about English weather,
- teenage girls thinking they can sing when all they are doing is warbling - without even attempting to hit the note,
- the new song by the Black Eyed Peas,
- the old songs by the Black Eyed Peas,
- programmes about Peter and Jordan,
- programmes about David and Victoria,
- programmes about the fabulous lives of people like Peter and Jordan and David and Victoria,
- companies that advertise what they “believe” to their customers,
- companies that advertise their “thanks” to their customers,
- companies that have hijacked the concept of grand artistic projects to create hideous flash mob marketing stunts,
- having the opportunity to write blogs for websites without really having any ideas of what to write about,
- people who tell me to watch the Wire,
- and Piers Morgan.
Phew.

It's nice to know that me and my sister aren't the only ones who hate Piers Morgan although we hate Amanda as well.

I saw British souvenir teddy bears made in China! This was at an airport shop which prides itself on selling British goods! No disrespect is meant to the Chinese workers but British souvenirs should be British made!
