Not astrophysics 'n stuff. Or wimminz

But things where you think 'why on earth would anyone even do that?'

Five Live have given over their entire days coverage to.... golf. Listening to golf on the radio? All day? Seriously...? Why? Why would anyone do that?

Your nominations for things totally beyond your comprehension please...

Yet Radio 4's coverage of a Scrabble game was brilliant...

Love island. My other half and kids watch it religiously. All three are intelligent individuals, yet they seem obsessed with this abomination of a program.

Grapefruit. It mucks up medicine, no amount of sugar can fix it, causes problems in cocktails and punches. It's like a decent orange has been injected with headlice lotion.

#bloody cyclists
So you have a group of people who voluntarily choose a method of transport that free up road space, lessens pollution, makes themselves healthier etc etc. Then you have another group who would happily see them regulated off the road? Because of what? And where will they go, it makes no rational sense.

And weirdly its only Anglophone countries that seem to have this attitude.

People who buy non stick pans. Why would you want something that lasts 5 minutes and leaves chips of plastic all over your food, stops you from using proper utensils on it etc?
Stainless with nice thick conductor sandwich base please.

Rabid Social Media. Everyone’s entitled to a voice, but the vitriol some people carry around with them is very disturbing.

Local Planning Rules. Different rules for different postcodes. Planning committees made up of staunch MAWCB’s with nothing better to do than dish out “no” to people they don’t know, nor care about, all because they feel some need to push their ill gotten power onto others.

JLR. Awful shitty vulgar vehicles bought by the same type of people.

Modern Banking. Seemless transactions and virtual payments controlled by expansive algorithms not fit for purpose.

Corporate Director merry-go-round. 5 Senior Directors in 12mths makes for instability and uncertainty.

Project Fear. A whole political ethos for keeping the unwashed voting for you, The washed betrayed by the cloud of “it might be you....”

Heavy metal. Grown-ups listening to songs about raping and monsters and whatever other silly things they sing about with the same voice and guitar sounds they always used.

Anyone that votes for a right wing political party - Conservatives, UKIP, Brexit Party. I just can't fathom such selfishness and ignorance.

Religion; make some stuff up and try to give it legitimacy by saying it's the word of God.

What the point? Why not just acknowledge that right and wrong is just the arbitrary consensus groups of people acknowledge in order to live together in some semblance of order.

And Superdry, obviously.

Smoking and vaping. It stinks, you stink, you think you look cool but you look ridiculous, you’re damaging your health and those around you. You stink. Smokers think it’s ok to litter, to stand outside shop/pub/restaurant doors inflicting your cancerous stench on everyone. When I come supreme leader it will be abolished

You ******** stink
