massively agree with that. a lack of spatial awareness. really gives me the shits. Especially so when people are walking.

Random ambling U-turns, stopping and thinking about something, congregating in a door frame, pushing prams all over the place (no please, I insist, would you kindly use your precious little "bub" as a battering ram for my ****ing legs), people who walk side by side on narrow paths taking up the whole thing and dont move out of the way for people walking towards them.

Also ACA and TT, and their 5 repeated "its a rort!!" stories make me angry. It makes me more angry that millions of people apparently subscribe to this idiotic bullshit. They are always fairly high up in the TV ratings.

Also brain-dead reality show guff like X Factor, Idol, Bachelor(ette), farmer wants a shag, master chef, renovate, the renovators, renovation man, renovate this, renovate that, strictly come dancing, so you think you can dance... etc

nanny state mentalities also get me going, wherever in the world they occur

Which reminds me... A man walks into a bar with a steering wheel shoved down his pants. Barman says 'hey mate you know you got a steering wheel down there?' and bloke says 'I know, it's been driving me nuts all day'

Boom boom

I observed to his colleagues..."not bad for a first attempt..." - and one said "I know, I worry about some of them...". Human after all..human after all.

His colleagues were young..and very pretty.... what is it they say about coppers looking younger and younger...
