Fishermen
Why do fishermen have massive poles these days? I remember when I tried fishing years ago and no one except possibly sea fishermen and people on lakes had poles. It's the most stupid thing, but very funny to see when you go down the canal. They have there massive 12 foot rods reaching right to the other side. Wouldn't it be easier to go to the other side and dangle a line in? Then they wouldn't need a rod at all. The only reason this pisses me off is because the footpath along the side of the canal is supposed to be a "footpath" and national cycle trail. Ever tried getting down on your bike with all the poles laid across the path? Takes ages waiting for them to be moved, and some fishermen are too ignorant to even bother. I nearly had one put through the windscreen of my car once as some clever fisherman decided to stick it through the hedge. He must have forgot there was a road at the other side after all the excitement of staring at the float all day. It puzzles me why all of a sudden fishermen have started using the great big long poles now? The only conclusion is they must be easier to use than the normal rods, therefore making the sport less mentally taxing (if that's possible). So if your a fisherman who uses one of these poles on the canal your either thick or lazy in my opinion.
People that slag off and put down the place they come from. These are the people that think there better than everyone else. I know Worksop isn't the best town to live in, but some people slag it off all the time as if there better than everyone else.
E.mail and Internet Stuff
People that send forward e.mails that have already been forwarded a million times, and contain an attachment of the original e.mail. You know what I mean, the ones you get that have those bloody arrows all down one side, because the person who forwarded it was either to lazy or to dumb to know how to copy and paste text. Another thing with e.mails that gets on my nerves is when you can see everyone else's e.mail address it has been sent to. How hard is it just to put everyone's address into the Bcc box instead then we wouldn't get all that crap at the top.
Dishonest People - Theifs
People that do deals and promise to send CDs. I have started a black list (not that it will do any good, but it can be a warning for other people) For people who promise to send CDs but never do. I have lost CDs and a bit of money from being too trusting, but in the end it's that persons loss. Say I send £10 for some CDs and they never come I will never deal with that person again and neither will anyone I know. Therefore all they have gained is a measly tenner. However if they were decent people and sent what you paid for me and my friends would continue dealing with that person and their profit would come to allot more than a tenner. Disshonest people in general piss me off.
People that borrow stuff and never give it back
I can't count the number of games, CDs, videos etc I have lent to people. Most of the time there my mates. So wouldn't want to say anything to them about a few measly CDs. However when your lending your stuff to a few people it can become expensive. Therefore if I borrow something off someone I make sure I give it back as soon as I am done with it and not wait till that person has to ask for it back.
Pop Up Banner Adds, and adverts in general.
Every time I switch on the computer there they are.....Bloody pop up boxes trying to get my into dirty freds porn site for $6 Your a winner, click her to claim your free super delux prize. OK I understand companies need to advertise their goods, but can't the adverts I see at least be relevant? I live in england, all the cheap dollar offers mean shit to me. Also why would I want to buy
Not being able to un-subscribe from mailing lists and getting crappy adverts constantly.
You know what I mean, every couple of days or so you get that e.mail from the same place, you have replied with the subject "Remove" but that e.mail got returned because it was un-deliverable. Why do they think because I have never bought anything off them I will all of a sudden decide to get something just because they are shoving all the advertisements at me? If I want something I will go out and buy it.
Webmasters moaning about their links being stolen. Yeah I appreciate it's hard work, takes time and dedication to keep a top MP3 site up and running. However if they don't want someone to use the links on their site why not just password protect the files, or tag the files in some way so people know where they came from. It wouldn't take much doing.
ICQ / MSN Messenger / Chat Programs
People (Usually girls) that expect you to have a conversation with them whenever your on-line. I allways get "Hello how are you" then when I just reply "fine thanx" they get all stroppy and mardy because I havn't asked how they are or what there doing. Like as if I care? I have never met these people, don't even know what they look like and will never meet them in the future. So stop getting the arse on if I'm not interested in you. If your into the same stuff as me, or a good looking gir (unlikely or it would be a fake picture) then I might talk to you. Other than that I havn't got time. One other thing that annoys me on ICQ is foreign people. who try to talk to me, It's hard enogh trying to understand what people mean in english on it sometimes nevermind when they can't even say what they mean. Just don't even bother.
Clubbing:
Expensive drinks - Why do clubs have extortionate prices on drinks? If they were priced reasonably I would spend allot more than I do. Whenever I go out now I have to drink like a fish in the pubs before I end up in the club because I know I won't want to pay those kind of prices for a drink. Ibiza is the ultimate example of this. around £4 just for a bottle of water. I would sooner die of de-hydration (and probably nearly did) than shell out that just for water. If beer in clubs I would spend loads more and have a much better time. But I guess the management of these places must be greedy because they know they have the monopoly because everywhere else that is liceneced to sell alcohol is closed.
Cheesey Music - Why do some Djs insist of playing cheesy chart crap? When I go to a club that's what I expect to do - Go clubbing. If I want to listen to that sort of stuff I would just borrow any girls CD collection. A little cheese is OK. infact it's quite good sometimes. However cheese all night followed by a bit of the harder stuff towards the end just isn't a good night for me. All the clubs I have been to that get allot of students are examples off this.
Bondhay Golf Club Management.
It's just a joke. No one has a clue what they are doing.
Don't know why I'm still working there. The money's crap, but I don't have to do much for it and I get loads of days off (too many infact, that's one of the reasons I need a proper job with regular hours). The staff don't even have contracts.
Radio 1:
Sarah Cox.
Sorry, she just does my head in, so doe's that Zoe Ball, and I'm not keen on her boyfriend Norman Cook, he hasn't made any tunes I like.
Dj Spoony also annoys me. But worste of all it's that Scottish pair Colin & Edith.
Taxi Prices
If taxis charged reasonably I would use them. But around £5 or more to get home from town which is only about 3 miles is stupid. I refuse to use taxi's unless I have to. I would sooner walk and do on most occasions.
Worksop Leisure Center
I found this post by Mike Hunt. Says everything I would say.
"I think that all the staff at worksop sports center are pig ignorant and if anyone visited from out of town they would never return." I agree entirely. It needs knocking down!
TV
Why is evrtything on TV a repeat? I suppose it's handy incase you miss something, but with video plus you don't miss much. Whenever I sit down to watch Tarrant or an episode of the simpsons it's allways one I have seen before. Not to mention the films on TV. There either all crap or have been on 10 times before I suppose we could get cable, sky and digital TV, but the subscriptions for those are way too expensive for what you get. The TV licence is a complete con I don't know why we have to put up paying for this shite service. ITV don't charge coz they have adverts. I think everyone could cope with a few adverts instead of paying their license to the BBC. The term "license" is a complete nonsence aswell because the money goes to the BBC.
Veggetarian People
They allways say it's coz they don't like annimals beeing killed. I agree. But that's what cows and sheep are bread in this counrty for. Without cows their would be no green feilds and country side, just more factories and supermarkets. I reckon they should think of the bigger picture before they say their not eating meat coz it's ruining the countryside!
Level crossing at Shireoaks:
Always waiting for a train. Why can't they build a bridge or a tunnel? It would save me and lots of other people hours of time.
WOW ! I didn't realise so much stuff pissed me off! lol. Bet you have something to add here now.
Can't you tell I got bored one day!
People who burn VCD quality movies back onto DVD.
WHY!? What a waste of space. If it's already been ripped to CD, then leave it at that. More or less all DVD players will play video CD's anyway so just leave them on CD. Or don't bother at all and wait to be the first to release a retail version.
Also when ripping MP3 albums, if the album is mixed. Why do people ripp the tracks as individual files? Because when they are converted to MP3's it introduces a digital silence and their is no way to burn the MP3's back to an audio CD without hearing when the track changes (yes even if you select gapless mode). If it's pre-mixed ripp it as one big Mp3 instead of the individual tracks.
Other things I don't like:
British Weather.
Getting out of bed in the morning (especially when it's cold).
Cooking.
eggs (but I do like the occasional fried one when I'm hungry and egg fried rice).
red cabbage.
Battered mars bars.
kippers.
liver.
runner beans.
quiche.
Hot chocolate.
Level Crossings!
I must waste hours of my life sat in the car just waiting at level crossings.
Here's one on Carlton Road:
They should all have bridges or tunnels these days! They should easily be able to build a few with the amount of tax I have paid alone!3
Boradband.
It's not fair because I live where I do I can only get a 1mb connection I want 8. Or even 24mb like they have in France!

It's all about cars. Someone thinks just like me. It's preitty funny!
Another thing that pisses me off....... People that type everything in CAPITOL LETTERS !
The electricity keeps going off here in Shireoaks. Yes we have paid the bill!
It's so annoying, it does it way too often. It always does it just as I start to burn some discs
The main problem is it keeps killing my hard drives off. Another one seems to have died last night. I just hope I have most of the stuff backed up. So I'm busy today backing everything else up from the other drive's, but it's going to take a while... Have been looking at getting a big external one, just to use as a back-up for my most important stuff, but can't decide which to get?
In the mean time I suppose I should get a UPS, but there's not much room left in my bedroom nevermind having a great battery sat here too.
Oh well, just glad it's happend before so I know how to get back all my files from the hard drives. Was bad the first time it happend, but I'd want to die if I lost everything now.
loads of other stuff. I'm just bored and can't be arsed to move to get into bed.
