NB: I may be slightly bitter since my relief may not make it to the rig in time for our crew change on Wednesday due to Heathrow being shut, meaning I have to stay on the rig a few days extra (and it'll be busy too).

then they should get 4 wheel-drived-chairs

I love the snow (and colder weather for that matter) so conversely what annoys me is that it seems half the country grinds to a halt when it snows. They manage in the Scandanavian countries just fine with feet of snowfall yet here an inch or so causes mass panic, all it means for most people is that you take it a bit easier when moving about. Let's face it, snowfall is hardly entirely unexpected in this country so you'd think that over time we'd have got used to it.

Now that would hack me off too so I completely understand that.

Not wishing to open a full can of worms, so some of this weeks most hated are...

*old school top of the pops music - "durrr durrrr durrrr duh duh durrr, dooo dooo dee dooo"*

1. Hospital parking charges: Why it costs such an amount for relatives/visitors to visit uncomfortable / ill / dying people I do not comprehend. Sure, the hospital makes a large income from this but I assure you I wasn't happy at spending over £60/week when visiting my granparents for mealtimes etc. I've spent a fair whack of time in hospital myself and I felt embaressed and personally uncomfortable when my relatives/friends visited and it cost each car over £5 a time!

2. Abusive people: Notably in the two areas of 'Customer Service' and Healthcare. I understand if something has not gone the way you want it too, whether it is through the fault of a company or your own. You have every right to be angry but being personally abusive/ threatening is both pointless and inconsiderate.

In Healthcare I find this disgusting. When in hospital most recently there was a man sat two beds over from me who would not be quiet - he was banging his cup on the railings of his bed and shouting "F...ing come here" to all the nurses. No matter what the nurses said this mutant just started swearing and even at one point had his hand around the nurses throat and spitting in her face. People like this should have their arses firmly booted outside and be left to look after themselves.

3. Bad Drivers: Why don't you indicate on a roundabout/junction or just suddenly grind to 5mph along a 40mph road to see if "that's where we're going" - oblivious to those around you.

Also those morons who get to about 5 feet of the back of my car because I'm going 30mph on a 30mph road, I'm familiar with my area- I know it's a long, wide road but it's a 30mph due to the schools nearby / residential area. If you wish to overtake then do so, don't ram your car right up my arse because you don't give a spoon for the speed limit.

Anyone who drives in such a way that it causes danger to another person I dislike- if you want to drive like a wally then go ahead, but don't you dare risk injuring someone else.

4. Know-it-alls: People who are adament about things even though they actually have no clue and then when found to be incorrect brush it off as nothing / they knew that anyway. 'Bintheredunthat' is the name of a local who falls into such category and no matter what you talk about - they know best on how to advise you.

5. 'Negative-seekers'- Those people who absolutely LOVE the ill-fated-limelight. Those same people who can take any situation and turn it around and draw out any slim potential negative and express that as the priority. I guess a mild form of this is the 'man-flu' expression but I just find these kind of people abhorrent to be around!
