Folk who go on about how awful religion is thinking they're being edgy.
Is this something that frequently worries you?

I'm with you on this, but the worst of all must be cinemas. Everyone seems to leave shite everywhere. This is one of my top PTTGOYN, to the extent that it makes me wonder if democracy is such a good idea after all.
Summary execution for folk who dump their leftover popcorn on the floor.
There's plenty in cinemas that expose the worst in humanity. Whoever first came up with the idea of selling popcorn, one of the noisiest foods, is a dick. Also, rather than have all these adverts asking people to switch off their phones, just make it a rule that if you keep talking to your pals or you take a call you are removed immediately. 1 strike and out would sort it out.
They have the attitude to the age ratings all wrong. It shouldn't be about exposing youngsters to sex, violence, etc. It should be a guide on how old you need to be to understand what is happening and absorb it quietly. I sat behind a couple a few years ago who spend the entirety of a film asking each other what was going on. To the extent that they kept missing things and asking again. If a film is a U / PG / 12 /15 / 18 and you're too much of a moron to understand what happens in it you should only be allowed to go and see films of the next rating down, and so on until you're basically not allowed in.
ETA: film in question wasn't even some arthouse affair, it was a Marvel Superhero flick.1 -
On a similar note, I very much imagine this has come up in this thread before, but people who were a football top to go on holiday are absolute imbeciles.
EDIT: or to go to social events, a court appearance, etc.1 -

Are you including lattes or capuccinos in that? There's an absolute talent to making a beautiful coffee with hot milk.
That shouldn't be dismissed so easily.
(I've got too childish a pallete to enjoy coffee but i do like a nice tea (strong, with a spot of milk if you're asking))Yes, including them all (this mainly might just be because I don't like milk).

I find that most coffee shop staff get bewildered with the simple act of asking for a black coffee . I have plain black coffee no milk no sugar and started specifying in my order that I want it black due to the infuriating assumption that you automatically want it with milk or that u want it half empty so you can find your own milk to put in it . Even now most of the time when I ask for a black filter or black Americano the first line from them is " do you want milk in that " . No I f*cking don't, I want a coffee not a coffee flavoured milkshake.
People who put milk and other assorted shite in their coffee are essentially weans who don't want a adult drink.

The Golden Hour on Radio 2, which is usually just absolute belters going all the way back to the 50s, has introduced a segment called "Future Gold", where they play a shite song that's just been released. Utterly fucking pointless.
To be honest, you shouldn't be listening to Radio 2. That would fix that particular issue immediately.

I disliked the post because it's emotive nonsense aimed at someone I like.
What is it about Tavernier you like, exactly? I know next to nothing about him, so apologies in advance if he's some sort of charity maestro, but the very first thing I've seen of him that's not been in a footballing context is a photo of him with a mutilated dog.

I'm pretty sure that purebred English bulldogs can't be born naturally, they are all delivered via c-section.
I mean most dogs are bred now for characteristics, it's just the extent that it's done.
Lots of those characteristics are nice, e.g. I love the way Alsatians look. I wouldn't get one though; I don't want a dog that in all likelihood I'll have to put down aged 10 because it's back hips are fucked due to warped genetic meddling. And it's not just the bit where it dies - the months/years before where arthritis kicks in is just unnecessarily cruel.

I have no idea if this is a popular or unpopular opinion, but it seems like the right time for it.
Owning a pedigree dog is a venal and often cruel practice. It enables weirdos on puppy farms, and most of the time it's merely to satisfy the trite and vain proclivities of the owner.
If the dog is there to fulfill a specific function that its breed is best designed for then it at least serves a purpose; sheepdog, police sniffer dog, etc. If, on the other hand, it's just that a "dog lover" wanted a pure-breed Alsatian or English Bulldog, in the full knowledge that they would be very likely to have significant (and often ultimately fatal, courtesy of a vet's needle) health issues, then it's gross and really speaks ill of us as a species.4 -

It was a Doctor Who episode, and not a good one.
I quite enjoyed it - was quite liking the Doctor Who vibes tbh
Also, I think the Doctor had a few run-ins with the TVA back in the old Marvel Comics days.

In many ways I wish I hadn't read the posts in here, but truthfully I'm glad I did. Best wishes to all brave enough to share these stories.

On the train home yesterday morning. The following exchange of dialogue occurs.
Upon opening the bag of goodies when I meet her off the train, there's no ginger and two bacon and omlette baguettes.
'You didn't ask for ginger' she insists. She did get yum yums, but apparently I didn't ask for them either and they're for her sister.
Why wasn't you're first question, "who the f**k is Greg"?
*Italics added just in case

On a similar note to the Highlanders above, I was very fond of the Bacon & Bean flavour Postman Pat crisps. They tasted similar to Spicy Bikers.

Loved these to an alarming degree. Also, the Highlander Prawn Cocktail crisps were coated in so much paprika that you got a pleasant tingle in your mouth for about 30 mins.

Never sure if this is an "everything's getting smaller" thing, or if it's just an "I've been slowly getting bigger since I was wee and I'm too thick to realise" situation. My pet peeve in this area has always been Big Macs; they were roughly the size of a standard 1984 hamburger when last I checked.
The smaller a Wagon Wheel is the better it is. Ghastly things.

Absolutely loved both of these. The expansion packs for Atmosfear were good too, but not as good as the original. All that "Little Magggggot" and "Which of you is the old one? Come here, old one... the others pity you" chat was excellent.

The 'VOW' wasn't legally binding. I've yet to meet a 'No' voter who has brought it up. This is just another red herring from the democracy deniers in the SNP and their media puppets.

Some utter delusion on the radio with a Hearts lad talking about getting Alex Neil, whilst dismissing Derek McInnes.
As if either would be interested.
Exactly what I was about to say. Wild delusion.

So shocking and sad to hear the obvious lack of compassion, if not outright hostility, in Craig Levein's voice when discussing Hearts; a club he has given so much to. One can only assume that the abominable conduct of the mainly entitled and unrealistic fanbase, and their appalling behaviour towards this servant of the club, is to blame. I don't think it would be over-stating things to say that Hearts fans are all that is wrong with this world; all that is soulless, ghoulish and demanding. All that is facile, trite and superficial. All that is evil and irredeemable.
EDIT: And wanky.

Folk who sing pointless chants ate the football. e.g. "Same old *******, always cheating".
Given that the stupider elements of every support sing this at every other team it's completely meaningless. I hate everyone who has ever sung this, including fans of my team.
