People who say stuff like "I don't watch television" and those people never don't watch telly they don't watch television or they only watch ( apparently) the news or some other dull ready stuff and then they turn it off.

I guy I work with 'doesn't watch tv' but somehow still knows what's happening in all the shitty dramas/reality/'talent' shows.

Fat people and/or religious people en masse, can cope with say, 3 at a time of each but more than that I can't deal with.

That's an impressive prejudice - you have issues coping with crowds of fat religious people ?

How do they manage to find you - do you hang around churches/weight watchers clubs or something ?

Emsz ... has got a couple of goodies (or is that baddies?) there.

Its Rugger Buggers for me... never liked them and there oversized egos… nobs

And for the finer sex ... overtly flirtatious women...please love you ain't that special and I’m not that stupid

Strange enough it's normally the rugger buggers who fall for the type of bird who’d drape herself over you after only knowing you for 2 seconds.

scousers, the constant chip on shoulder victim mentality from a bunch of whining gits that have given nothing to the world other than a mediocre pop act and now will never shut the ..... up about it

I love people who make assumptions about millions of people based on a very small few.

I'm not defending it, but I automatically assume that everyone who's been in (exactly) the same role for upwards of 5 years is going to be a jobsworth.

Have probably just offended loads of people.... sorry about that

Ro5ey, bloke I live with plays rugby, and while the players themselves are generally lovely lovely guys, the people that watch them play sometimes let themselves get too drunk I think

I've been a waitress and watched rugby for the sidelines and had my arse pinched and been winked at by blokes who probably have daughters my age, and probably are company managers or whatever. Sad

The desperate snobs who (mis)use the word "artisan".

I'm thinking of buying a honey badger and training it to attack every time it hears the word in an effort to rid the planet of them, one vicious, brutal, slobbering beautiful attack at a time.

Binners I work with this girl, she's nice enough but her attitudes to a lot of stuff is just shocking. Pay to see the GP, no council houses, immigration is a bad thing (Marina who is Romanian and can hand stitch... Like beautifully, sits just behind me) mum and dad buying her a house!!

Just laugh at them really

emsz - A certain type of middle aged bloke that watches rugby, they are generally fat, generally massively obnoxious loud misogynistic idiots

I have horrible feeling that having quit playing 10 years ago (I did 25 seasons) I might be that man. I'll try not to be misogynist, but the rest? Oh dear.

Cranberry - if you need any help with your campaign, just let me know.

emsz - I know just such a girl. Grew up with her. Beneath the polished, over-manicured facade, she's a truly vile human being! Never worked a day in her life, drives a brand new Merc SLK that mummy and daddy bought her (private plate, naturally), as well as her huge house.

Spends her entire cosseted life moaning about how hard done too she is. She bangs on constantly, without a shred of irony or self-awareness, about a 'culture of entitlement' among the unemployed, immigrants etc (shall we just call them all 'scroungers?), and thinks all benefits (apart from her own, obviously) should be stopped.

No prizes for guessing who she votes for. She is the very living embodiment of the present Tory party.

Come the glorious revolution..... 😉

Well off Lefties.
Ok I understand if your northern, everything is still Thatchers fault no doubt, or public sector workers, you want job security for your made up local authority position, or the unemployed, as much free money as possible.
But those who have a decent job who still thinks its acceptable to support the Labour party. Utter morons of the highest order.

People who when you ask what sort of music they like, reply with 'I like everything really'

You'd really hate me, then!
I belong to the Tom Ravenscroft school of music appreciation; I ignore genres, just go by what I like the sound of, so just about everything, then.

FTFY

Thanks for so graphically illustrating my point about why I despise Tory's though. You can't help yourselves really, can you? Life contains no nuance.Everything really is that simple. 🙄

Tazzy if you can point to the bits of animals where nuggets burgers and sausages grow, then I'll stop eating them. Really though there are just convenience. The protein I eat comes packaged the same way, but isn't made from the flesh of dead things

Thanks (kisses)

Emsz- nuggets come from the small kfc gland, situated at the rear of the animal, sausages are actually dog, everyone know this, but just pretends that they are made of bits of eyelid and sphincter, why else would we have sausage dogs like dachshund, just whop the legs off em and hey presto. Burgers are just horizontal sections of the leg of an elephant that is also sold as the spinny meaty thing in kebab shops. See its all perfectly logical.

Right here, right now, in Edinburgh as the festival season approaches I ma rekindling my prejudice towards bagpipers.

But I will confess to being predjudiced towards fat families, like yesterday when I saw one taking their annual walk together.

But I ignored them cause I was wearing my crocs which make me feel awesome.

Yes! Archives w/ proxy mines was hilarious once you worked out the spawn locations. Just a series of explosions 😀 We also used to play "You Only Live Twice" mode, with the winner having to take a shot. Great way of levelling the playing field after 30 minutes or so!

Russians and Israelis abroad just horrible aggressive idiots, I know why they act like they do but I avoid them if I can.

Why do they act like that, d'you think? Not questioning what you've experienced, but none of the Israelis or (admittedly few) Russians I've met abroad came across like that, particularly.

Brits on the other hand...

Anyone who says "speaking as a mother" or variations thereof. Your opinions don't gain validity just because your body has succesfully completed a basic biological function, it's like saying "speaking as someone who once took a shit". The blackbird that lives in my hedge is a mother, let's see what it has to say on the subject of crime.

I suspect you've only encountered incredibly rich, arrogant people from those countries. I have numerous Russian and a few Israeli friends & none of them are horrible aggressive idiots, but I have met people like that in ski resorts. Blinged-up gob$4ites - the tasteless nouveau-rich. You'll find they're from all nations, go to Klosters, Davos or Courcheval: plenty of them are British.

I agree with a lot of the aforementioned and I will add: The Gulf states and particularly their filthy rich 'elite' who won't get their hands dirty and treat their employees like slaves. These people were scratching round in the dirt until oil was 'discovered' in the area. And they sponsor fundamentalist terrorists. Plus the Brits and Americans who kow-tow to them. Disgusting.
Phew. Rant over.

2. Cyclists who don't acknowledge your nod or 'hiya'

Pretty sure most people who use them are just lazy, they have no problem getting in / out of the car and walking to the shop, they just can't be arsed to park another 100m away.
