[colint]

Clapping at the TV when someone scores a goal, they can't hear you !!!
Arriving at the airport in shorts and t-shirt to go on holiday
Any celebrity dancing/dancing/horse riding on ice shat
People thinking someone is a celebrity because they once shagged someone who was

 

[DCB]

Why do people clap when their holiday flight touches down safely ?

Landing seems a rather important part of any pilots job, if he can't do that.......

 

[birdieman]

Blair Witch Project - simply dreadful, the endless screeching and got seasick watching that stupid jumpy camerawork.

Monty Python - just don't find it funny. Michael Palin is not a funny man.

Sorry gents but both Young Ones and Blackadder were fantastic. Agree Mr Bean is pretty duff after 1 episode.

 

[USER1999]

I like Palins travel docs though.

Blackadder = brilliant.

I don't get movies shot in the dark. They pay fortunes for authentic costumes and sets, and then shoot it so dark you can't see what the heck is going on, or who is who.

 

[freddielong]

Soaps - why not get a life instead of watching someone elses

TV detectives - why watch them you know they will solve it in the end ?

Lost - 24 episodes a season x 7 series what story takes that long to tell, I could have talked you through every golf shot I have ever plyed in less than seven whole days

 

[EaseNgrace]

Al Murray
Robbie Williams
Vegans
Religion (more precisely creationists)

I agree with most so far but Monty Python c'mon where's your sense of humour.

[madandra]

Guys who wear t-shirts , scarf and wooly bunnet in winter.

WOMEN !!!!!!!!!!

Chavs and neds who wear baseball caps with the skip pointing the sky just like Bronski Beat and Pet Shop Boys used to do...

Womens who buy magazines that tell women how ugly and fat they are and how poor they are as well.

Kamikaze pilots that wore crash helmets ???

Women who wear next to nothing to be noticed and when you look at them they give you the "DONT LOOK AT ME" look.
Whats all that about?????

Professional Football ... why subsidise some useless thick wifebeater who earn more in a week than some folk get in 5 yeras. In know guys on dole who go week in week out to watch 'their' team.

If he cant land it they'll be up there all day.
