name a decent (non comedy) show from the uk?
Agree with AndyP - Life is amazing, as is most of the BBC's wildlife work, apart from the last series of Big Cat Weak (deliberate spelling error).
Spooks is also very good (although perhaps a little less so on this series). Red Riding was good. The Take was amazing.
ok, documentaries don't count - i meant drama obviously 😉
oh and red riding was good too - forgot about that...
still, nothing to touch the wire though!
Knowing your m8 is going mountain biking but you cant because the missus wants to go xmas effing shopping 😈 And if you suggest a compromise your a selfish tw&t because you've been told about her going shoppping all week. sssssheeesh
[i]ok, documentaries don't count - i meant drama obviously [/i]
erm...erm...OK, you've got me there. Unless 'In the Night Garden' classes as drama? 😉
Jimmy Carr. I just don't think he's funny and he obviously thinks he is.
Buying a pre-packed bag of apples and there's always one going off, likewise potatoes.
Not being able to find gloves for biking that actually fit.
Sopranos - Yeah, this is OK.
The Wire - Terrible
Family Guy - Some are good
South Park - Nope
Curb Your Enthusiasm - Boring
The Shield - Silly
The West Wing - Dull, dull, dull
I've not heard of the rest but some more are...
Heroes - First series great, after that, ON CRACK!
Lost - This pretty much sums up american tv programs to me. We know we have to create a clever tv series but we're americans so we're struggling a bit. I know, we'll just make everything entirely random and pointless. We'll have lots of loose ends that just sort of die, plenty of completely unexplained things going on that never get explained but still play core parts of the 'storyline' and we'll convince people that at some point, there will be one.
Scrubs is ok though.
see in TV, as with most aspects of life, the yanks start with a good idea, then tweak it ever so slightly, and completely ruin it.
TV - decent idea for a programme, then introduce farcical characters/plotlines
/guest actors with associated whooping and hollering from 'studio audience'. FAIL.
Being allies - a good idea. Then introduce "shooting your allies 'accidentally'". FAIL.
Mountain biking - good idea. Then introduce 'hammering some planks to a tree, wearing kids' clothing and just taking the engine off a motorbike'. FAIL.
"Christmas advertising & sh!t that starts before 1st December"
is there a single shop in the know universe that doesnt do this?god i hate it!i love christmas but by the time it gets here ive had enough of it.
if i had a shop id decorate it with one happy november sign and celebrate the month...without tinsel or lights!

C*nts whgo dont stop when temporary traffic lights go red. Today I sat with my light green for 20 seconds as 3 trucks just kept coming through. Utter moronic selfish ignorant ****s.
Driving.
Biggest thing at the moment is the development of ALL THE BLOODY GREENFIELD LAND round my area. 1000s of f*&^ing houses, industrial units and a f*&%ing reservoir. If the reservoir is a 'proposal' how come there are bloody great excavators parked all over the thicket???! ****S
Parent.
Bl00dy know-it-all parents.
It is all you ever get...
'Enjoy it while you can, you won't have any peace when they are born'
Well I AM enjoying it now they are born thanks.
'Wait till they start teething'
Well they have and we are coping quite fine thankyouverymuch.
'Wait til you get them on solids, the house will be a mess'
Nope, still bearing up.
'Wait till they start crawling'
I u****ing can't wait for them to start crawling you utter u****wit.
'They might be cute now, but before you know it they will be teenagers'
Ohh just shut the damn****-up will you.
& grass-hopper behind the till puts it through back to front
grass hopper behind the till at tesco for me this lunch time can put my purchases through her blipper in any order she wants.
the slower the better, to drag out my appointed slot for admiring her
she was very pretty.
her badge said "Emma"
back on topic.
predicitbly for me:
German cars.
mainly audis.
Singlespeeders
I tell you what pisses me off. Standing in a lift going to Ground Floor, or at a pedestrian crossing having pressed the button. Someone else comes along, looks at the 'G' or 'Wait' lit up, looks at you and presses the button again.
Oh what, I'm too incompetent to press the button now, am I? FFS.
the crowds of smokers who gather in the entrance to shops/pubs, so you have to pass through the smelly ****ts to get in/out. 😈
People who feel the need to list the things about life that pee them off, rather than just getting on with enjoying the other bits....
damn...
Nothing after I've been on my bike. 😀
Everything when I haven't cycled for 2 days! 👿
Just got home from work by bike... 
(Ok: wet cold weather freaks me out man! as I live for summer!)
And another thing 😈 People who insist on burning their garden rubbish on the only descent day we have had in ages, so if you go outside to fettle your choked by the bloody smoke, ignorant selfish tw&ts, and there religious, aren't they supposed to love they neighbors or something, fuc£ing hypocrites.
Sorry but Spooks started well, the 1st series was excellent, and has been going downhill since then - current series is so badly scripted and acted - the characters are just sketches in comparison with the finely imagined roles in, for example, the wire.
Still watch it though!
my shit job
Socialists
People who think it acceptable to chuck a fag theyve finished with on the floor and then stand on it to ensure its not still burning. Pick it up you degenerate!
People who seemingly shave their entire bodies in the shower cubicle at work. Frigging animals.

Excellent I'm saving that list for next year.
Political correctness, 'do gooders', & this week especially, about 75% of the population of C wing green spur!! Friggin stressheads.
Button flies.
I mean, WTF is that all about. Zips have been around for 100 years now.
farmers
people who don't indicate at roundabouts +1
people who sit in the middle lane on the motorway.
not having got out on my bike for over a week now.
the lowlife thieving scum who let himself into my front door the other day but got scared off by the dog.
[b]CARAVANS 👿
Ignorant ****ers on sites such as this who think it's ok to have ago at the obese, labeling them as stupid, lazy, smelly, eat less/exercise more etc etc. Twunts!!!
lIP UP FATTY 😀
bending over at 45 and making an involuntary ohhhhhh arrrrrh noise
Freezing cold water in my overshoes in the first 20 minutes of a 5 hour road ride. Then cycling the rest with numb feet.
In no particular order - work, middle aged spread, my mangled wrist, organised religion, teenagers walking along sharing an i-pod with one speaker each, rubbish dance/chart music, rich celebs acting like idiots, mobile phones, other trades not cleaning up their mess, not seeing my close friends enough, smoking, drunken people, mindless violence, Thierry Henry cheating, being rubbish up hills, the money driven reality of the education system, ema payments, needing a wee in the middle of the night, the fact that OCD is not taken seriously as an illness when it is one of the top 10 disabling illnesses according to the world health organisation and nearly destroyed me, badly cooked chips and rainy weekends.
This list could go on forever, sorry for being a grump.
OCD=CDO (sorry the letters have to go alphabetically) 🙂
My point exactly. Its a horrible mental illness that ruins peoples lives, but its 'acceptable' to make jokes about it.
But if you were not OCD, you wouldn't be you, you'd be somebody else, remarkably like you, just less OCD.
I am still me, what ever games this cruel illness plays, but it wrecks lives and families and is seriously misunderstood and be-littled. I'm lucky to have had great support and treatment, but others aren't, and the longer this is looked at as a joke illness, the less funding and treatment will be available to those in desperate need.
Sorry for minor rant.
