People who continually post depressing things on facebook.

There is one person on my friend's list (former colleague) who never stops posting about how dreadful cancer is, who likes to highlight 'support' pages for dying kids, who frequently shares pictures of abused animals for awareness purposes, and who five minutes ago shared a picture of an abandoned baby in a bin.

I think I'd rather live in ignorance - I'd certainly be a lot less depressed were it not for her.

Can't you just 'unfriend' her?

Why don't you start posting pictures of genital diseases and the like to her wall, she'll soon unfriend you instead, job done! I can heartily recommend a picture of Blue Waffle disease, it's enough to make anyone pour petrol in their eyes and set fire to their memory bank - once seen, never forgotten.

You must be his ghost - because that first comment you sent is exactly what he said when I asked him for an autograph. He was the most horrible guy.

People who work religion into everything and then brainwash their children with it.
I've got no problems with respecting other peoples' religious beliefs, but when I hear "Please and Thank You, are not magic words because God doesn't like magic" from the mouth of a 5 year-old, all I could was just shake my head and walk away.

Well it was my daughter's best friend from school. I resist the temptation when her dad comes to collect her wearing a t-shirt that says "Organ Donor - I gave my heart to God"

Isn't it ironic how most Christians think homosexuality is a sin, yet they tend to be the biggest fags you'll ever meet.

Windsor as far as I know Fraserburgh stiil belongs to the United Kingdom and even if/when Alex Salmond cuts you adrift I hope and trust a fag in Scotland will remain what it is in England - something to be puffed, not shagged, behind the bike shed. However I assume a fag in New York would be quite happy to take a puff in the behind at the back of the aforementioned shed. As for the shag, well put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Today's entry in Room 101 is KPN, a Dutch telecommunication company and my digital TV provider. Half a year ago they did a Good Thing: they added BBC1 and BBC2 to the standard package. Now some imbecile there has ruined it: they added the Ceefax subtitles for the deaf as a feature you can't switch off, which makes watching the Beep unbearable, because I can't help reading the subtitles, that have a lag of several seconds to the spoken words.

I used to work for that company, but as far as I'm concerned KPN may die for this crime against TV enjoyment.

Children. You work your balls off for them, night and day, your whole life revolves around them - I have sacrificed my once-a-fortnight no-kids Saturday morning filthy lay in at my betrothed's house, to come home and sit on the internet at 9am to try and get tickets for her to see One Fucking Direction. And the worst thing about it? She doesn't even know - I'm doing it as a surprise out of the goodness of my heart, so I can see her spotty little face light up on her birthday. I'm TOO good.

My mother once queued up for Led Zeppelin tickets to stop me skiving off school to do so. Back in those dim and distant pre-internet days, it's what you had to do. I still can't quite believe she did that. There was a huge generation gap in terms of musical tastes back then, not like today when you see whole families going to a gig together.

Well, I got the tickets so that's guaranteed me the best nursing home in the country in my old age! But I can't tell her till her birthday - three months away!

Of course, in my day it was a case of begging the parents to sit on the phone waiting to get through to buy tickets for us on their credit card, me and my best mate would harrass one or other of our parents until they agreed. My dad even did a 100 mile round trip so me and two mates could go and see The Black Crowes in Bristol once - silly thing was I was 18 and had my own car, but he didn't want me driving into the centre of Bristol without him! The things we'll do to see a smile on the face of our offspring, eh?
