Some are more major than others but I find all of them abhorrent:
2. Adverts during movies on TV - it's just so irritating, particularly if they're at totally random moments
3. Paul McCartney - he makes my skin crawl - smug and arrogant, prides himself on his ignorance of musical notation and there are major questions to be answered as to who really wrote his various "classical" compositions
4. Religion - all superstitions - based on lies, it's the biggest fraud in the world - used the manipulate, control and abuse - truly evil
5. Honours - I have no issue with honours given for genuine achievement but people who accept knighthoods, OBEs, MBEs, etc. in the name of the British Empire - ugh! The British Empire was an appalling institution that abused its position of power around the world
6. The Military - pure evil - arms trade, politicians, soldiers, sailors, airmen
7. People who argue against racism/sexism but, in reality, are only proposing a different bigotry - in this category I would include those who support Harriet Harman's faux-feminist leanings
8. Manchester United and, very specifically, Alex Ferguson
9. Positive discrimination - there is nothing positive about positive discrimination - it is just discrimination
11. Reality TV shows and the way they now dominate the TV schedules - sure, have a singing competition but does it really need 2 hours of Saturday prime time AND an hour on a Sunday?
12. Tories
13. The need for speed - thosepeople who refuse to stick to speed limits and see it as an infringement on their civil liberties rather than a safety measure
15. Using less when it should be fewer and using fewer when it should be less - Alexander Armstrong on Pointless is the worst offender in the world!! Less sand, fewer grains. Less beer, fewer pints!
16. Unions - they don't unite they divide and, increasingly, they play politics rather than simply represent workers
17. Phone in shows where dullards and bigots are given airtime - just cut them off
20. People who think it's cool to be thick, common, ignorant - the TOWIEfication of society
21. Mis-used apostrophes - it's really not that hard to learn when and when not to use an apostrophe
23. Victoria Derbyshire's Radio 5 show - inanity and soft questioning are queen
25. People who can't debate properly
26. Tailgaters - just get back you idiot!
28. Cold-callers - even as a member of the Telephone Preference Service we still get cold-callers trying to sell us stuff, so intrusive
29. Angling - cruelty masquerading as sport - let's rip apart a fish's mouth then throw it back in the water!
31. Red poppies - not the real flowers (they're lovely), the ones sold by the British Legion for remembrance but increasingly a symbol of jingoism
32. The normalisation of gambling - its gradually become a normal part of life, slot machines everywhere, discussed on radio - it's a stupid thing to do and should be banned
33. Excessive street markings and road signs - also too few (roundabouts that don't give a clue) - there are way too many signs and too many markings. They spoil the countryside in particular.
34. That song from Titanic - the ship deserved to sink if that's the song it is now best remembered for
35. People who read your blog but comment on Twitter or Facebook rather than on the blog
36. Christmas - there's nothing wrong with a mid-winter festival but why have one based on a lie, an historical event that never happened that celebrates someone who never existed
37. The clocks being changed - twice a year they're put forward or back - why? Choose one time and leave it alone all year
38. Andy Parsons - his presentation is just horrible - lots of his jokes are quite good but he wastes them with his grating voice and demeanour
39, Party Politics and the whip system - all MPs should be individuals voting freely on all issues
40. People who do Follow Friday for ALL the people they follow on Twitter
41. Nationalism/Jingoism and having to be British - I just don't get why anyone would be proud to be any nationality - the root of all the wars not caused by religion
42. Meat - there's no need to kill animals for humans to survive - our teeth are herbivore's teeth (small incisors) not those of meat-eaters
43. Inverted snobbery - people from working class who have irrational hatred of things like Oxbridge
44. The right-wing press - Daiky Mail, Daily Express, Daily Telegraph, The Sun, etc.
45. Intelligent Design - when the Christian church realised that the creationist lie wasn't accepted by sane people they tried to con people with I.D. - just as much a fraud as creationism
46. Popular culture that masquerades as art - the worse excesses include people who claim Eminem is the new Shakespeare or that if Mozart were alive today he'd be composing pop songs
47. Windows computers - it's very simple, they're not as good as Apple (who they continually mimic several years late)
48. Memory (from "Cats") - awful, awful, awful whining
49. Shaving - really hate shaving - I wish there was a permanent way to stop the hair growing
50. Facial hair - "Never trust a man with facial hair" - and always be concerned about women with facial hair!
51. TV shows that continually tell you what's already happened - this particularly happens on Channel 4 lifestyle shows like Location, Location, Location and anything fronted by Sarah Beeny
53. Pet dogs - they're just stupid, smelly, shit machines
54. Disney Stores - so much plastic tat, it makes IKEA seem environmentally friendly
55. Boozy Brits - not just the binge drinkers and clubbers lying in gutters on a Saturday night but those who arrive somewhere and instantly want to know where the bar is
56. Unchained Melody - just dreadful song that keeps being covered
57. The dumbing down of education - what hope for the future when the UK's education system is aimed at the average student (at best)
58. Answering back - I just can't tolerate it
59. Capitalism - time and time it fails but, because the banks rule the world, it keeps getting more and more chances
60. Theme Park rides - they make me feel sick
61. Pescetarians who claim they're vegetarians - if you eat fish you are not a vegetarian - it's very simple
62. Horse racing - it's animal abuse - doesn't matter if it's flat racing or jumps.
63. Imagine by John Lennon
64. Patrick McLoughlin, MP - my local MP and Chief Whip for the Conservatives - he used to claim £400 per month groceries without producing a receipt and also flipped his house to rip off the tax payer
