Room 101 - Pet Hates

Would that include the low-life dirtbags who insist on having endless and loud cellphone conversations in quiet restaurants and other inappropriate public places?

Yep!

Having wasted an hour of my life this evening watching a load of talentless egomaniacs trying to outdo each other I'd like to add ALL the participants of the current UK Apprentice series as well as Sid James-lookalike 'Lord' Sugar and the incredibly annoying Karen Brady. Nick Hewer, however, is spared... for now.

I cannot abide the vacuous individuals who are only famous by being famous.
The absolute morons who are in Made In Chelsea and The only Way is Essex come to mind. Open the door and throw them all in.
Not before spanking Amy Childs mind you. LOL

And if you have no idea what the 'offside rule' even is, does that definitely mean you're a female? Or simply an American?

His Sugarship is infinitely preferable to Trump! At least he has a salty turn of phrase and a sense of humour and doesn't wear what looks like a birds nest on his head. He got rid of the right one too, as he usually does.

I think a better test would be if someone is willing to offer an explanation, confidently, of the offsides rule (or, for Americans, the balk rule in baseball, or intentional grounding in american football, or, quite frankly any but the most obvious sports rule). Most men (including referees/umpires) are confident they know know the rules... even when they don't.

Well, it is important to know that, in American-style football, it's not always considered "intentional grounding" when the ball is intentionally grounded.

Just as, in basketball, it's not necessarily deemed to be an "intentional foul" when a player is intentionally fouled by an opponent.

It's simple, wouldn't you agree? --C.K.

Absolutely! I've intentionally unintentionally fouled hundreds in my day.

Oh, my. So I'm probably a man.
