Things I Hate...

 Comments (70) jump to end

We were having a few scoops the other night and , after the usual "Meaning of Life" topic, drifted onto things we hate, or, at least, can't abide. Got me thinking...

(a) The feeling the morning after a valiant, solo but ultimately doomed attempt to significantly reduce the EU wine reserves.

(b) Going to bed with Katy Perry but finding that during the hours of darkness she has turned into a moose. (This usually follows (a).)

(c) Professional scousers. Like Cilla, and Tarbuck, the comedian who is about as funny as AIDS but less welcome.

(d) People in 4x4s who don't acknowledge you when you let them out at junctions. A pox on them.

(e) Women who bleat on about a "Glass Ceiling" when we all know that for 3 weeks in every four they become Pol Pot in pantyhose.

(f) The International break, which we were promised would make Engerland a world force in football. Again.

(g) Racism. Unless it's against the French. That's allowed.

(h) WWF at every corner kick....

(i) Other people's kids who kick the back of your seat all the way to Alicante.

And then it dawned on me... nothing... NOTHING comes close to the feelings of hatred I have for the RS.

From the badge-wearing, scarf-raising, dirge-singing retards who stand on the Kop every week before their flight back to Oslo, to DJ smacking Gerarrrrd and his crease-head, to Suarez and the teeth he stole off Red Rum's corpse, to Benitez and his 'small club' jibe, King effin Kenny, Shankly and the boot room, the luck that always goes their way in derbies, the way referees allow their whining, diving ways to ruin every match...

Lady Luck must be getting rogered by half the team, the way upstarts like Brenda embrace the "Liverpool Way" by trying to influence referees with his pre-match pleas to all and sundry, the way the BBC chiefs all appear to be RS, disappearing into the gents and knocking one off with a photo of Gerrard in their left hand...

And derby matches. I HATE derby matches. There's one tomorrow, yer know.

I should go for a lie down.....

I'd say I agree with most things on there, Ray. Also, I hate the X-Factor — especially that smug bastard Cowell — Strictly Come Dancing, and I'm a first class gobshite get me out of here.

Also, my wife doesn't look like Katy Perry unfortunately — she goes to bed a moose and wakes up a moose — although she does a mean chicken and ham tagliatelle — bet Katy couldn't. She also couldn't care if the Toffs win, lose or draw... so tomorrow, after the latest derby loss, when me and my son come in (me after about 10 pints), she'll tell us to get over ourselves... miserable fucker!

Rehearsed goal celebrations. Even worse,the toe curling site of watching a grown man suck his thumb after scoring a goal.

Supporters who get on the back of one of their players. Most of all Suarez. Even seeing his name in print makes me ill. The lowest form of racist, cheating despicable vermin ever to kick a football. Don't get me started on Gerrard.

People who don't deal in reality.

Drivers who wear hats (baseball or trilby) guaranteed menace on the roads.

Being able to spot "the formula" and therefore outcome of every TV show 2 mins in.

People without judgement who rely on stats.

Not getting what's funny about monologues about a la Bishop and Macintyre.

Refs addressing players as "Becks" etc

Managers being paid so much and simply protecting their loot so the likes of a Clough or Shankly arising has gone.

The cartel of the energy companies particularly pretending there's genuine competition - fuck right off.

Ditto the financial sector including all banks investment or otherwise and the self policing of same that encourages corruption.

I could go on but I need to get up early.

Shopping in general, how can it take hours ffs. You either want something so you go and buy it, come home, job done. Or you don't want anything...so you don't 'kin go in the firstplace.

Andy - Lets not leave out how long we're kept waiting to go out as they stand in front of a mirror playing with their hair.

Most of my pet hates were covered in Rays opening post but what annoys me most is a bloke who paid a kings ransom at the gate then proclaims with a sickly air of superiority that he does not support either team.

People holding everyone up at the petrol station buying groceries ffs.

Guaranteed to pay with a dodgy credit card that fucks the machine just for a curly wurly, tin of cat food, bottle of cider and a family pack of crisps.

Davina Mcall.

Blaming refs.

Common sense (there's no such concept)

Clocks going back/forward.

Modern cars (ecu's, sensors, catalytic converters)

The myth we all support "the royals"

Banning AGMs and fans not twigging they're saying "fuck you but keep supporting"

Ian Bennett

John moores not living forever.
Gillette and hicks not getting a couple more weeks to do the job properly.
People driving at 50 in the central lane with nothing around them.
Everton squandering leads, and Liverpool coming from behind.
England coverage and optimism when a football tournament is on. Cut to the chase and get knocked out when you play a decent team will ya.
Ernie Baywood

And Liverpool.

The forever it takes for a queue of traffic to start moving when I can see, from half a mile back, that the lights are green, I'm in gear, and the handbrake's off.

Pretty much everything else, apparently, according to my missus.

Tony, a Gog is a North Walian taken from the welsh word Gogledd for North.
Ray Roche
682 Posted 28/10/2012 at 09:06:07
Tony, as I understand it, a Gogg is what South Wales people call North Walians. A gog is the person, gogledd is north. Or something like that. I try not to get TOO close in case I get covered in spit. Still, i've lived here for 40 years so I must be happy enough.

Women who queue for the cash point. Reach the cash point. Only then open their handbags. Search for their purse. Open their purse. Decide which card to use. Find it doesn't work then choose another. Get their money. Fold it away into their purse. Close their purse. Then place their purse back into handbag. Fasten their hand bags. Then move aside.

They do this at the self service tills in Tesco, but before they pay, they scan their items. But don't bag. They then pay. And then bag.

No wonder they all believe they're this supposed modern woman, having very little time on their hands. No shit.

Alan Clarke
692 Posted 28/10/2012 at 09:45:13
I agree, I hate 'professional scousers' too. I hate celebrity RS supporters who have never been anywhere near Liverpool and I hate 'savern' RS fans from ve saaaarf who phone up the radio to offer their armchair opinions when they know more about the likes of West Ham and QPR than Liverpool.

As for the Norwegians, they're a harmless bunch with their funny hurdy gurdy sounding language and their novelty woolly hats. I never laughed more than when we hammered Bergen in Europe and their fans starting chanting red shite songs at us!

I really hate this American phrase 'No Brainer' that seems to have become part of our vocabulary. It is constantly used now when referring to who Moyes should or shouldn't sign:

"Signing Manuel Fernandes is like todally a no brainer, dude."

"If Lewis Holtby is in the last year of his contract then bidding for him in January is like a todal no brainer."

John Ford @695

The Glass Ceiling...i'm doing my best to remain calm here...it's what talentless women suggest exists to prevent them from attaining their God-given right to, for instance, a seat on the board of any multi-national company. There are even plans to introduce a law which will force companies to include a considerable percentage of women on their Board of Directors whether they have the talent or not.
Just remember, for every woman on the board of any company means that an ironing board or kitchen sink remains unattended.....

Football-wise, to quote from the Half man half biscuit; If I was a linesman, I'd exceute defenders who applauded my offsides.

In general. Volvo drivers, because it's the world's safest car, they're either ultra cautious (y'know you can die in a road accident @ 8mph, so I'm not going to go that fast) or complete maniacs.

Ringing up companies, and being met with- "All our calls are recorded for quality control pyrposes- you now have the follwing options; If your mother is a one-legged bi-sexual Albanian please press 1 now" Grrrrrr

People who push the 'cross' button when no traffic is in sight, then walk across on red.

I think there should be a spike that comes into their finger that makes them wait till the light turns green.

Rob Patterson - be careful about people who say people who make lists using upper case.

Steve Smith - Quite liking is entirely human. Shankley - the RS banned him from their training ground. He never went to Arnoldfield again, came to GP. A man of taste, in the end. I think you got it right.

Ray Roche
011 Posted 29/10/2012 at 08:56:16
Keith, I'd better clarify the Shankly comment. As a man, I liked Shankly, he always spoke well about Everton after he'd retired and was gratefull for the way Everton greeted him and he was a proper football man. . I meant that the whole "Shankly and the boot room" crap that the likes of Tarbuck perpetuated really pissed me off.
Richard Parker
075 Posted 29/10/2012 at 13:43:25
I have to say that I have really warmed to King Kenny over the last 18 months or so. He single-handedly pissed away over £100M red-shite dollars so he can't be all bad.

I don't think I've ever hated a player like the dirty, ugly, cheating, racist Uruguayan shit-bag from over there.

The word "bespoke". Where the fuck did that come from? It's like saying "Okay yar" in the eighties.

Also:-
(1) Politicians who never answer the question,
(2) every single person on TV wearing a poppy at this time of year when half of them don't have a clue why they're wearing it.
(3) Whinging football managers – just admit your team were fuking crap today so there's no need to blame the ref.
(4) BBC repeating a programme just three weeks after they first showed it — why?
(5) People with company cars who have no idea how hard it is get ya car through an MOT.
(6) Teenagers who have got a mobile permanently welded to their hand as they walk up the street.
(7) Teenagers who have mobiles that are worth more than my car!
(8) Mitt Romney.
(9) Tony "bullshit" Blair
(10) Football “supporters” who can’t name their club's heroes before the birth of the PL.
(11) Anyone who signs off with 'YNWA'
