What do you love to hate?

Awful.

All three should be shot at dawn.

Why wait until dawn?

I too have an intense dislike of prattle-fools on various radio channels, which I generally avoid like the plague but come across in the gym or locations such as a dentist's waiting room. The commercial channels are worst, with oily patronizing voices trying to sell me dross or hysterical fools going into raptures about some junk or other. Then there's more of that whining with a boom-boom noise that goes for contemporary musik these days.

I try to get them to turn it off, starting with nice well-mannered requests but eventually descending into a sulky tantrum if they won't.

Still, I'll never descend into hating them. When dawn comes and it's time for their despatch, I will commiserate with them and perhaps not tie on the blindfolds too tight. I would offer them a final fag but it's bad for their health so no.

No no, no need to 'hate' them so much, no-one is obliged to listen to them. Send them all to a lonely paradise island together alone

If I cannae spell or pronounce a word I use another, for controversy: debate, dispute, argument etc

[Cyril Haearn]

Bloody listening project. I want to throw something every time it comes on it's so annoying. Worst part is that they cut really good programmes like 'More or Less' short in order to fit in this drivel.

Thread resurrection alert

Havnae listened to MoL for years, awful, interesting material presented in a style to drive one %) @€&#

Lidl
While undeniably cheaper than other supermarkets for the equivalent quality goods and having till operators who are amazingly quick it irritates me intensely because it is constantly rearranging its products. There are two stores I visit regularly, neither of which have ever been arranged in a similar fashion so it is even more difficult to remember where anything is.

More or Less used to be a good programme, but it's been reduced in length and quality.

The stupid "Story Book" they read from noon for fifteen minutes or so every day, and then the trimming off of the end well before 1pm has cut the programme down to something not much longer than half an hour.
Added to the fact that on a Tuesday you get the annoying phone-in, makes the whole idea of listening to MoL pointless and boring.

Can't remember when I last listened to it, and I'm very glad indeed that we don't pay for a TV licence ............ as we don't have a telly!

The Tele, I don't have one, I love saying I don't have one, then people look at me, point and scream!

Do you have a Strat instead of a Tele? They both seem to have dedicated followings!

Awful jingles played while someone is talking
Seems very impolite

Blokes with beards, they're just too idle to shave!

Whaddabout those with very thin beards,the ones that look like someone's drawn them on with felt tip pen?
Must take them ages shaving around them

[fullupandslowingdown]

I resemble that comment !

I'll have you know, duck, that to keep a beard neat requires twice weekly trimming sessions. Better than 7 bleary eyed mornings a week trying to scrape the skin clear though.

[Mike Sales]

Attempts to sell me things.
Adverts, telephone scams, chuggers, free offers, con men, etc.etc. I immediately look for the lies.
I am allergic to people trying to part me from my money.
