And more - people of any age screaming or crying and being loud (including babies and teenagers) - all jingles on all radio shows (they all sound just wrong, so no wonder I never listen to radio volentarily) - medias with the big city or big country syndrome (when all the media in a region or in a country only circles about the most important thing on earth that they are telling that all the world is interested in, and which usually isn't mentioned anywhere else at all) - bloated code (keep code clean to achieve what it should, and don't just dump more code and hope it works)

People complain about TV whilst forgetting how grim life used to before it arrived. As Jeremy Clarkson (Top Gear) recently commented, would you rather watch 'Big Brother' or sit in your living room watching your toothless grandpa washing himself in a cast-iron bath?

No problem with TV.That is why we change channels or turn off the tube. It's just dumb/below the belt/stupid programs, etc. that I find peevish. "Reality Shows" like game shows are only starters. To each his own. This is not a judgmental question I asked. It's the "little things" in daily life that bug us. Cheers to all. I hope there will be more. |

France, Germany Sweden and other Euro countries produce some good TV shows. How come we don't get to see them in the UK? Sub-titling for the mono-linguists is not expensive. No disrespect to America, but we only get your shows.

Oh I agree. Too much junk from the USA. Although there are a few goodies, past and present. I don't know why they are not doing the sub-titling in the UK. But you are not alone. Costs, I suppose. I will not look at a "FawltyTowers" or "My Family" in French or Swahili. Has to be in English. Columbo, by the way, is very funny in German. But that's another story. Also "regular" folks at the high listening hours don't want to read sub-titles. One has to go to the special channels or the late night programs to see a film or a series in VO (Version Original). Pet peeve n° 196? |

People like Paris Hilton who think they can do anything and then they get away with being a total ***. I hate celebrities I see no point to them, they drive me insane. And no offence to anybody else, but people who think that celebrities should be let out of jail just because there popular, they drive me insane.
