Typed something a wee bit long winded and my Internet explorer crashed. (Can't see the frustration in my face without seeing the word f***ing btw)

Basically, what really grinds my gears is the fact that apparantly its more offensive to see a swear word on a message board, than it is to get annoyed of camp gay men, cos they are camp.

I know loadsa gay folk, one of them being my best mate Mark, who didn't come out til about 3 years ago, but we always kinda knew likes. He never 'tried' to be camp before, but it slipped out a few times, have you ever thought the reason people "turn camp" is because they f***ing held it in til they were brave enough to tell they world they're gay?!!!

Dunno why or how it happens, but if you can put on that sorta 'act' just for the hell of it really "for show" for every hour of every day for your entire life, then you'd be insane before you got close to death.

And if these two things annoy you so much, then that really grinds my gears also. Remember Graham Norton's tv programmes ARE a show, and he puts it on for SHOW, if you see him in an interview its totally less obvious that he's gay. But it happens, I'd say dialect can make it sound a lot 'worse' to btw. Dunno what's going on with Alan Carr mind you lol, but can watch the Friday Night programme without getting annoyed at camp men.

Dunno if any of that made sense, the last one did but I rushed that lol, can't be bothered thinking about it again.

Rant over once again, discuss at will.

Graham Norton is one of the worst offenders for blatently wanting everyone to know he's gay.

Dale Winton is gay - yet he gets on with it and doesn't go on about it to the whole world. he has a slightly suspect voice, but other than that, he acts fairly normal. Michael Barrymore is another - he doesn't come across as being gay at all.

Its the likes of Julian Clary, Boy George and Graham Norton, who come out with gay inuendo every ten seconds so that we don't forget that they're gay that irritate me.

There's so many people these days that claim to be gay - but I suspect its just attention seeking. It seems to be fashionable these days to be gay or lesbian. There's one in every TV soap, and at least one on each TV channel per day. There never used to be this many 'gays'. I bet if a 'real' gay came anywhere near them, they'd run a mile because they wouldn't know what to do. Its turning into a country full of Daffyd Thomas's - only there's more than one in the village now.

False 'gays' are annoying, but the genuine ones that are as queer as a bottle of crisps are fine :pinkman:

Girls who flirt outrageously with you and/or drunkenly tell you intimate things about themselves when you both know full well she has a boyfriend whom they'd never cheat on... I've become wise to this now and these days make sure I get a free drink out of them before disappearing.

i at least try to get a "bum hug" out of them. :oddcake:

I think sur Briggsy and Mr JudgeMental are both right, you are making the same point in that you both get irritated by people who simply overact their gayness.

If I were gay, I would simply wear a pink slipper at all times, then act completely normal. Would that work?

A few more gripes of mine:

1) People who come onto messageboards and msn purely to leech the audio without saying hello.

2) Large girls who aggressively push past you in a club whilst you're dancing. And then step on your foot with their stilettos.

Would you get even angrier if a large girl pushed past you to get to a messageboad to leech music?

[rant] The fact my local Spar that I have being getting served legally in for 6 years, now need a full driving license or passport if you look under 25. This doesn't help me, even though I have a provisional driving license (exact same card, different colour), a Gala Casino card (have to be 18 for one of those bad boys), a european health card with my name and Dob on, a Uni session card with 2001/2002 on it, that I keep for old times sake, and a Visa card that you also have to be 18 to get.

Now forgive me if I'm wrong, but if thats not enough, and fair enough I do look a bit younger than 25 (I'm 24) but I sure as hell don't look 17.

This was for 4 beers. Actually had to get my mate to 'jump in for me'. And I'm 24 :( For f*** sake.

Best thing is I was a year above a guy in school that works there, and they didn't even believe that, he's worked there for years and served me loadsa times, we're mates, what else can you do? If you're 24 you shouldn't have to carry a passport just for that, too easy and expensive and dangerous to lose.

I'm right, they're wrong. Oh aye, was legally pouring pints 6 years ago too.

Argh, raging. [/rant]

One more rant from me!

3) Labels who go digital, but then for some reason think there's no demand for any of their back catalogue before 2005. Are they completely stupid? It is without doubt the most infuriating thing since labels have ever offered mp3 downloads. Yes of course it takes time, but if Hooj Choons can do it, why can't the rest of them?

Rant number 165. The fact that Minus are taking 10 weeks off, and I missed the sale before they done it lol. Should be interesting in the long run though, the amount of releasing / touring everyone on the label has done probably even beats that bastard Tiesto. Can't wait to see what 2008 can bring us (me) from them!

One thing that really p***es me off - racism that has now reversed itself in the UK - by this I mean:

1. If a black person hits a white person, its just an attack. If I white person hits a black person, its a racist attack.

2. If we had a Music Of White Origin awards, we'd be branded racist - but the MOBO awards are deemed fine.

3. If we set up a radio station targetted solely for white people, we'd be branded racist - but there are stations aimed solely at black audiences, yet we're branded racist if we speak out about it.

4. If a black person gets pulled over by the Police, they play the racism wildcard. "You only pulled me over cos i'm black" - errrrr, no mate - its cos you were doing 60 in a 30.

5. We're being forced to change the names of Christmas lights to "festival" lights, etc because other religions find it offensive, yet they happily celebrate their festivals openly without a word being said.

I'm not racist at all. If everyone mingled properly and all lived a happily integrated lifestyle, then i'd be happy - but I get really annoyed when white people are branded racist, when most of the time, we're the ones trying to integrate - and we're trying so hard to prove we're not racist that we're giving into what they want (such as the 'festival' lights in Birmingham) - but they're not playing as fair - they now expect it from us, whilst they carry on living as they are.

Why can't we all just get on and accept each others lifestyles. We shouldn't be forced to hide our religions because they find it offensive, whilst they carry on as normal.

If I moved to a foreign country, i'd expect to learn their language and adapt to their lifestyle. Instead, they're coming into the UK, and expecting us to adapt to their lifestyles - and we're being forced to do it, otherwise we're branded racist. The government aren't helping by encouraging it.

I also hate car parks where the parking bays are too narrow. If you have a 3-door car, your doors are bigger and thus so the angle of you getting in (and out) of the car is reduced, even if you park it perfectly in the centre.

And on the subject of which, I hate people who can't park properly and leave their big car lazily in a single bay or (worse) diagonally across using up 2 spaces.

I'm all for creating women bays - they'd be painted on a diagonal angle, free from any objects behind them so that they can't reverse into them, and they'd have a built in turntable so that they can drive in forwards, and drive out forwards :P
