    Meh! Pre-Dictator

    People who phone in to radio chat shows (I'm looking at you talksport) who always have to start with "hi how are you doing" or "great show as always".

    Ever bloody caller does it.

    I'm sure Durham and co have a list of set replies they go through every time.

    Seeing those greedy bastards stuffing their faces with the grub they’ve just picked up off of supermarket shelves.

    Often 30 stone monsters waddling along with trolleys full of crisps, biscuits and 10 bottles of Diet Coke.

    The unrelenting rimming of Tyson Fury, who has somehow continued to not only live off of but even build more hype around him and his skills all off the back of one fight three years ago, which has never been proven not to be a fluke.

    A good boxer, yes, but some go on like he's Muhammad Ali, yet the truth is he only has one impressive win on his CV, and he has disgraced and disrespected the sport in the past few years and has looked average at absolute best in his two comeback fights.

    Tbf to Fury he is one of the most technical/natural heavyweights out there, he was bought up with boxing and it shows in his fights. I agree he has let the sport down but hand on heart I believe a pre meltdown Fury would cause AJ a lot of problems. He wouldn't now though.

    When you take your daughter to McDonald's for a rare Saturday night treat and then have to wait farking ages for your grub because the place is rammed with deliverpoo and Uber delivery drivers collecting for the lazy farkers who can't be bothered getting off their backsides and going down there themselves. I remember when it used to be a 'fast food' outlet (I would never call it a restaurant) but those days seem to be long gone.

    The normally placid Mrs Moog gets quite ******* irate when this comes on the radio, which is all the time on every station.

    The programme don’t tell the bride, and more specifically the idiot brides who grizzle when the dress isn’t the dress they dreamed of and everything else is a complete **** shower. What on Earth were you expecting when you signed up to it?

    Man: "shall we go on DTTB? It'd be great and they'll pay for the wedding".

    Woman: "ah babe, that's an awesome idea. You're such a clever babe."

    Man: "I'm gonna buy a 12" x 8" shed and set it up in my mates back garden for us to get married in to save some money. I'll get her a cheap dress from a charity shop to save a bit more. She needs a hen do so I'll book a room in the local pub. Sorted. Right lads, stag do in Last Vegas with what's left?"

    What I don't get is surely before or even after signing up for this show the couple might think to converse about what they absolutely don't want or what might be good or maybe even know each other enough to know what the other person would think is horrendous?

    What I don't get about the stag or hen is that the other people expect their attendance, travel and activities should come from the budget. I've never been on a stag where everyone hasn't chipped in to their own expenses.

    I don't get why some people have to contact radio stations at all. The worst are the people who email/text/tweet into stations to say things like "Loving the tunes! Just doing my housework and it's got me dancing."

    Who cares? Are these real or made up by the DJs or producers?

    The other thing I hate, is when they pick two mediocre songs by a mediocre act and then ask people to vote for one. "Today on Absolute we're celebrating Bon Jovi Day so text/call in at a cost of 50p to choose whether we play Bed of Roses or This Ain't a Love Song. Meanwhile here are all of Bon Jovi's other songs, back to back."

    Just play both the **** songs, or neither, I don't care.

    Has anyone mentioned the people who walk around on the phone, but instead of using it as a phone, hold it in front of them, horizontally on loudspeaker. Like they're on the apprentice and they're trying to find out whether the sub team of Dynamic have managed to find a gourd in the negotiating challenge.

    Or they try and be too cheeky about upselling you onto their bland and generic list of desserts "have you left room for our chocolate brownie and ice cream?" Just **** off, it's lunchtime and I've got to get back to the office.

    in real life, when people expect their friends to come up with 2 grand to come on a stag do to somewhere or other. Or spend 2 grand to attend their tacky, out of a box, overseas wedding.

    I like Absolute. I don't like their obsession with Bon Jovi, U2 and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to some extent. Personally I find them bland and overrated. It would be a much better station if they could skip them altogether.

    I also tend to like this station, but there is some dullard of a woman who's on a lot, who thinks that every song is excellent and she gushes with positivity about anything and everything. You can hear here fake smiling, affected softness of voice. I don't know here name. There are some other good people on there, though, I miss COC.

    Having to give a thought about anyone else on your wedding day. Having to attend a stag party where you know you will get unnecessarily drunk and ill, possibly end up in an embarrassing and dangerous state, and then have to listen to moans from attendees about having to self-fund.
    Best stag I had was my #2 which was to hire a cottage for a weekend in Woolacombe with a few mates, smoked pot and listened to The Cure blaring out full volume til 3am followed by cricket and body boarding on the beach. Great and cheap.

    Very few individuals will pay 3k more for a flight.

    On average, around a quarter of those in business will be flight staff. Another quarter will be using Avios/ upgraded through rewards. On most routes, between a third and a half will have their tickets payed for by their business.

    So next time you walk past the expensive seats feeling smug, ignoring their smiles as they chill in their reclining beds sipping champagne, try not to think about how, on balance, they've paid less for their ticket than you.

    Oh I know that. But the choice facing me is pay £400 for a basic seat or £3k for a bigger seat and some free booze. I'm sufficiently cheered by the fact I didn't pay £3k. I accept that those in the seats probably didn't pay much/anything personally and I'm happy for them.

    A couple of my ex-colleagues/mates who "sold their souls to Satan at the Temple of Mammon" (AKA went into the city) all stated that once they had "the dough" flying cattle-class would be the first thing that went with their new moneyed status. They (and I) were very surprised that they only ever "bought" the first/upper/whatever class tickets a few (3?) times as they (and their families) were always complimentary upgraded afterwards - I *think* this is still today when they buy peasant-class tickets.

    Adverts that say order now for guaranteed delivery for Christmas. There is one running for DFS now and they’re actually saying it already, in September.

    In this day and age with things like Amazon prime I should bloody well hope that something I bought in September might be available at some point before 2019.

    Does anybody actually order anything in September on the basis that it will arrive before xmas?

    You people with your Absolute should be thankful! All I get on my car radio is Radio 1 or Smooth FM and Gem FM, both favouring cheesy god-awful pop from the last 3 decades!

    It takes a while for their sofas to be stapled together to order in some far away sweat shop and then shipped by the cheapest slowest cargo container route possible.

    The Christmas cut off is already looming.
