Tony (Socialist multimillionaire war monger) Blaire is in the news again........................got me to thinking.......who else gets me to turn over when ever they appear on the telly.

In no particular order and possibly it's just me, people that get right up my nose are.....

Peter Kay

Tracy Ullman

Diane Abbott

Jose Mourinho

I reserve the right to add to this list, as and when I remember who else irritates me.

It goes without saying but I didn't want to have yet another US President dominated thread that that nutter is included also.

Anyone else have unreasonable dislikes ?

All my dislikes are reasonable.

Top of my list is everyone living who once edited the News of the World.

One can feel sorry for Alan Carr, I can't imagine he ever wanted to be Granny's Favorite.

I expect I'd enjoy a week on the Isles of Scilly with Diane Abbott so long as she left her cellphone in London.

There are quite a few people that I switch channels on the TV, to avoid, but too many to list.

In my youth the only actor who had that effect on me was George Cole.

Your mother carries a hod and has to shave.

I've got two that are both reasonable and unreasonable:

Farage: I wanted to punch his face the first time I saw it, before I knew what he represented. It was just that sort of smug grin. That's the unreasonable bit. The reasonable is everything he represents to me.

Eddie Jones, England's Aussie Rugby coach: See Farage grin (above). He still has that effect on me when he grins (and he grins a lot) but he's a great coach and has England on a 16 match unbeaten run (and English record) and if we win the Grand Slam this year it'll be 19 and iirc a world record run! (Only proviso - we haven't played the All Blacks in that time and they'd still be favourites imo)

What I need is an emoticon of a bloke pointing two fingers of one hand at his own eyes and then the index finger at the person he's watching. I don't know how to say the same thing in English.

Alternatively "With all due respect" covers it.

I heard a heated discussion between an irate customer and my old boss where he prefaced "You have a mouth like a dustbin" so as not to offend.

subtext: respect due = 0. Mind you if he's being sworn at I have a certain amount of sympathy. Would depend how much he deserved it I suppose.

Russell Brand & the actor who played Grant Mitchell in EastEnders.

Bruv, the only time I've seen Tracey Ullman was in a program called "Tracey Takes On ..." and I think it was aired sometime in the 1990s. It was quite funny as she portrayed different character types and she really had it down pat. I still think of the character Ruby Romaine sometimes and laugh. I'm curious what it is about her that you don't like? I have no idea what her natural persona is and have never seen her outside of that program.

That would be Ross Kemp, he plays Grant Mitchell, I agree partly with you, but he only half irritates me.

Russell Brand talks a lot of sense wrapped up in flowery wording, I find him irritating too, but like a lot of what he says.

Tracey Ullman was moderately big in the 80's as a comedienne, then she went to America and was moderately big over there.

I suppose she is good at what she does, but I still don't like her.

It's didn't say my dislikes were reasonable

It's funny the things that bug us about people!

Another one I can't abide is Rachael Ray. My pets love her dog and cat food line so I guess she can't be all bad but that's as far as I'll take it. I think she needs sedation.

So the weeping angels arent real either?....... thats a relief.
