Google. ****s.

Edit: just for clarification I think that google are ****s, not that ****s should be banned. I like ****s.

I'd ban Dana, but I wouldn't ban Dana if she wore a bandana.

I think that google are *, not that * should be banned.

I didn't spot the full stop - so on your instruction I googled ****.

I was planning in toad in the hole for tea but I think I'll give it a miss.

Wheeled suitcases.

You have my vote. Small pull along on handles ones are bad (see any clip of anyone leaving the Apprentice if any evidence is required. Not one of them has the gumption to carry a small black case so no wonder they're fired). New trend is for those with four wheels on the bottom, so tourists increasingly seem to be herding small flotillas along the platform.

I have a personal and irrational hatred of Leaf-Blowers! As far as I can tell they are noisy, pointless things used to push dirt from place to place, whilst raising as much dust as possible. Why don't they suck? It would seem to make much more sense

I gave someone a lift this weekend in my trusty 12 year old berlingo. They said "I've got the same make and model as this - but its not this clean inside"

I said "thats because I own a leaf blower"

(mine's battery powered though so nowhere near as noisy - it'll blow your face inside out though)

Commuting to sit at a desk with a computer and a phone.

I have a desk, computer and a phone at home

This, at a bare minimum, if I was in control there would be tax incentives to incourage working from home or extra corporation tax for not allowing/encouraging working from home.

Jackdaws, slugs and that Ministry of Sound style of dance music. Having a toddler I’d also ban Peppa ****ing Pig, Topsy and Tim and Waffle the bastard Wonder Dog.

That voice used in perfume adverts, all perfume adverts. Why is it always that bloody voice.

And exasperation as I absolutely know it will be what kills me in the end.

Cigarette butts. Cigarettes are fine, just ban the butts. Oh wait, no ban cigarettes too, being an ex-smoker I ****ing hate cigarettes now. Butthead smokers who - just like I did - thoughtlessly discard their cigarette butts I don't know, wherever the **** they are, in bed, at the Queen's house drinking tea, flick, flick flick. And DAB radios. Any and all radios. I don't want to listen to YOUR same old shit music day in day out. I've got MY OWN same old shit music and I keep accumulating it so no, I don't need to listen to Robert Miles & Technotronic on a daily basis. Thanks.

Anything made by Sonos, or Bose, or Apple. Laptops, tablets, smartphones, 5l Beer kegs, Camelbaks, dry ciders with sweeteners. What the 'Car' guy said up there. Oh and the plastic bottle guy. Taxes, or if not feasible, then tax dodgers. Greggs, Advocaat, cucumber.

People who think they can be fat and fit.

Happy to challenge any one of them to a jog to the top of the Bealach Na Bah, or a ride up it on a singlespeed bike.

That's if I get past the cake shop at the bottom.

Why do you care ?
How has it impacted you personally ?

Because someone above just called someone else a 'bigot' for stating that there were two. After such a nasty slur I'd expect them to have a concrete answer as to how many there are.

...and yes, anti-science guff bothers me.

How many stars are there? More than two. I'd ban the use of science in an argument where clearly no science has been read.

Segways. And even more so Segway trekking.

Agreed. And I made it pointlessly worse. I withdraw all my remarks (except the one about Google - they can still f off).

Alexa and the Google equivalent - why is it that we are ok with mass surveillance of the population by private companies? Oh....... I can switch the light on/off without having to press a switch? Fill yer boots then.

I used to be of the opinion that tracking my mundane everyday activities was completely valueless - but then Cambridge Analytica/Brexit.

I know I said I'd shut up about this, but I just read this reply

Now see this is a good argument. It makes it's point very well, and pretty much demolishes a specific argument that I was making.
I happily accept that, and even enjoy being shown to be incorrect when it's done so well.

"I disagree with you, therefore you're a bigot" - not so much.
