Irrational things that annoy you (and non irrational things too come to think of it) - Page 136

I do believe he could be the only person regularly presenting who I find less amusing than Chris Moyles and if you are unfortunate enough to have been given my views on Mr Moyles you will know that it is a very high/low bar he's surpassed.

Seconded. I always switch over or turn off if there's something on with him in it. Even the episode of 8 out of 10 cats (which I love) that he was in, I couldn't bear to watch.

Thirded! I was thinking this only the other day when I heard he was hosting some concert at the O2 or something.

I also find it annoying the way TV companies only ever use the "hot property" person to present their shows. They go through phases when Person X is the only presenter you ever see. Richard Hammond, for example, went through a phase of it. One minute he's one third of TG, the next he's Brainiac, Engineering Connections, Should I worry about..., Total Wipeout, Blast Lab, The Gunpowder Plot, The 5 O'clock Show.... FFS get off my frikken telly!!!

Now it seems that when the TV producers want something a bit "laddish" they wheel out James Corden. That advert during the last big football tournament (whatever it was) that saw him hosting a wild party where his shoe flies off and lands in the fish tank just made me want to punch the smug git.

This is a totally rational thing but I shall moan about it anyway.

Why do RyanAir seemingly vent the toilets out into the cabin? The cabin always reeks of poo after someone has dropped a load off. Disgusting.

I got this yesterday. Bah humbug!

When I worked at BT, we were all young, beautiful and eager to help our customers. We didn't eat mini cheddars, it was more malteser and diet coke moments we had

I believe that

We were actually the only team at the Lincoln BT who had regular work nights out and were genuinely friends. We went out almost every Thursday and would spend the evening in a vodka bar. Oh those were the days.

Ok, age. It's really peeing me off right now. I'm going to be 30 on the 24th of next month and I'm seeing my whole life flash before my eyes.

It's because all of my friends who are a year or two younger than me are stressing me out with 'Ooh you're going to be really old soon'.

I still feel 19 in my head. Why can't they just leave me alone?

The only alternative to ageing is death.

I know which one I'm going for!

On the eve before my 30th birthday I was sitting in my living room and looked up at the clock. It was about 2 mins to midnight and I had a full on, sweaty, angst ridden, terror struck 10 secs thinking 'Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!' - and then nothing. I've never worried about age since.

I often get ladies coming to class and telling me that they can't do something because of their age. When I point out that actually, I'm 40 this year so far older than them they soon shut up and get on with it!

30 went by un-noticed, but 40 was much more noticeable. My health certainly isn't what it was, but I can only blame myself for that.
