1) Wearing glasses. It's drizzling and I've been walking and I can't think of a bigger pain in the arse, took them off in the end.
2) Working until you're 68 to claim your pension. Invented by people who don't have to work until they're 68.
3) Charities. Not the people who work for them or the people who donate but the fact they even exist especially the one fulfilling central government roles which we all "donate" to through taxes. Being constantly bombarded with guilt about giving and necessary praise for people like Tom Sauna's daughter all feels a bit similar to the gambling companies being OK if they say when the fun stops etc. There's charities which help people who can't pay their council tax. Go figure.
4) The National Lottery. See above. Never met anyone who's won more than £86 but still do it "just in case" despite not knowing what I'd spend it on and not wanting anything including yachts or holidays to Barbados. The only conceivable benefit is not having to work and not being Bernie Flint so I can put the heating on.
5) Anything to do with people who work in professional football. Bar Everton.
