easy reality TV. The reason I hardly watch any television. I’m at the point where I don’t even know why I’ve got a telly anymore. I never watch it unless footy or cricket is on. Or arrers at the mo Police interceptors surely?

Dogs are allowed on trains though as per the law? While I don't agree with the dog being on the table, surely they're not doing anything wrong by bringing a dog on the train itself? Talking about dogs though. Nothing frustrates me more than "he only wants to play". That winds me up something shocking. My dog is well trained and off the lead most of the time. He doesn't go after other dogs, he walks by my side. I don't give a fuck if your dog is friendly in your eyes or not, it doesn't mean that every other dog wants to play. Especially those with more vicious dogs that need to be kept on a lead too. If you want to walk your dog off the lead, no matter how friendly it is, then learn to control the thing and make it walk by your side. Don't have it running wild annoying all the other dogs and then say "it's just playing" while other dog owners are having to lift their dogs out of the way or restrain them from attacking yours. One of these days I'm gonna run up to the owner and ruffle their hair and roll them in the grass and then follow it up with "ah sorry mate, I'm actually friendly and was just playing." [br Just been the Sanctuary in Hartshill for a swifty. There was a Jack fucking Russell in there that just barked that incessant whiney bark only them fuckers can produce. I quickly remembered that was one of the reasons I never go in there. Dogs in pubs are as bad, if not, worse than kids in pubs. I agree but then not all dogs are like that either. I take my dog to some dog friendly restaurants and he will sit under the table and then next to me or on my lap when we're done. If he behaved like that though then I wouldn't dare. I don't think all dog owners should be punished due to irresponsible dog owners. But if I was the landlord of that pub I'd be having words because that's not on.

Being asked for feedback when you do anything!
I paid in a cheque at a cash machine the other day and received an email the next day asking if I could spare a few minutes to tell them about my cash machine experience. What?!

Yeah like those bar/restaurants you get where you can eat your meal in the bar area or the restaurant. There are loads of dog friendly bars and cafes these days and it boosts their trade too. I've even brought my dog to a festival before too and he was grand. Tbf mate I've never seen a badger friendly bar before so maybe you're the reason the jack russle was barking. Mine would bark at you in the garden too. You should be hibernating flip sake.

I sat in a very nice cafe in Sidmouth last week and the sign said "Polite notice dogs are welcome but please refrain from putting them on the tables" Me and the missus were sitting at a table on the train from Crewe to Stoke a while back and a couple got on at Alsager with their Yorkshire Terrier, who they promptly let jump on to the table. After a few minutes it became apparent that it wouldn't be getting off either, as it jumped up and down in front of them, slobbering all over the table. I politely said to the bloke ... "mate personally I haven't really got a problem with your dog being on the table, I like dogs but have you considered that the next people who sit in your seats might be a young family with a couple of kids who might put their sandwiches or crisps on the table?" His response? "Fuck 'em, you got a problem then?" sorry about that mate was having a bad day

Hope this prick you met sits at a table on a train where a slobbering dog has been and unwittingly puts his Kit Kat down on it and enjoys every last stick of it.

Idiot drivers who stop at roundabouts when no one is coming then sit there as if they can see some invisible car that no one else can see, they then pull away really slowly, fucking retards
A roundabout is a giveway, not a stop stare then stare some more, one more stare lets pull away so slowly so I can really be a complete wanker

Ms Navratilova, who came out as gay in 1981, tweeted: “Do you have any idea how hard you would try to convince me I am trans if I were born 50 years later? I would be 15 years old and you would be telling me I was trapped in the wrong body. So who exactly is guilty of ‘Sex is a social construct’ here?” I’ve heard that a lot of kids transitioning are autistic and, being autistic myself, I can actually empathise. Because I had some confused gender dysphoric thinking when I was an adolescent that I never spoke about. But I can remember being about 15/16 and getting it in my head that maybe I was meant to be a girl, and hearing about hermaphroditism and suspecting I might be one…now I’m well into my 30s and am able to recognise that I was struggling to fit in and not understanding why I was different (wasn’t formally diagnosed until recent years) and suffering with mental health issues. Alongside the autism it was a powder keg but, even just 2 decades ago, the world was completely different and so everything went unaddressed. Like Navratilova, I’m fairly certain that if I’d been born 20 years later I would’ve had a deranged-psychopath masquerading as a teacher convincing me to irreversibly mutilate myself. A bit of a heavy topic for a “modern pet hates” thread mind you, but seeing that quote from Navratilova made me feel obliged to share.

Looking at you GOLD, Dave, ITV3/4, 5 and 5STAR. I like Peep Show as much as anyone but show something else for a change 😀

I'd gladly carve the correct grammar into the chest of anyone who makes this mistake. That cretin Scott Mills used to use the phrase 'off of' rather than 'from' which exacerbated the normality of this abuse of language.
