          3) DJs who "sing" the title of the song they just played instead of merely speaking the title.

          4) Socialists who think they can borrow their way out of debt.

          5) Low interest rates.

          6) Inflation above 2%.

          7) Mass uncontrolled immigration.

          8) Anyone who tries to smear a person as "racist" for daring to question mass uncontrolled immigration.

          9) Overcrowded grid-locked roads in Great Britain.

          10) Lack of affordable (reasonably priced) housing in Great Britain (note: huge morgages at low rates do not count as "affordable" in my opinion).

          11) People who get violent when drunk.

          12) Girls who are prickteasers.

          13) Drug-dealing scum who use knives & guns.

          14) Politicians who think they know better than the electorate on issues such as Great Britain's membership of the EU.

          15) Politicians with their gold-plated pensions when many of us ordinary people have to make do with money-purchase schemes.

          16) Scum who have loads of kids, all on welfare, when they haven't done a day's work in their lives.

          17) Logic-obsessed geeks who can't see beyond their own limited understanding of current scientific knowledge and who refuse to even consider that there may be more to life than what has already been discovered and scientifically logically or mathematically proven.

          18) Soap opera plot lines that are so obviously designed to manipulate the viewers emotions so as to keep them watching & make them talk about it to all their friends.

          19) People taking things out of context and twisting them in a negative way.

          20) Dumbing-down of education standards in Great Britain.

          21) Gangsta-wannabes insistence on people giving them "respect" when they've done nothing to deserve it.

          God damn... what a rant!

          Cheers,
          Jeff.
          Should that not be:

          20) Dumbing-down of educational standards in Great Britain.

          or

          20) Dumbing-down of standards of education in Great Britain.

          Also, are you sure that you have correctly used the hyphen?

          Finally, why don't standards of education in Northern Ireland irritate you?

          Edit: On another note, Great Britain is not a member of the EU, but the United Kingdom is.

            but ignore the basic fact that the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat




            that really , really irradiates me





            "All right, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" ― Cave Johnson
            Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                And what about people who waste their time watching soap operas and then complain about them?

                  Looking on the brightside (as ever), it does make it much less likely they'll actually hit what they think they're shooting at.
                  After La Haine came out, there were a lot of French kids going around holding their guns at funny angles because they saw it in the film. I read an interview with Vincent Cassel where he said that the only reason they did that in the movie was so that you could still see their faces when they pointed the guns at the camera
