There is nothing more boring than...

Other people's dreams
"So I was walking down the street and all of a sudden I saw this guy I used to date so I called out to him but all of a sudden he turned into a big rat so I followed him down a sewer and then all of a sudden it was my old history teacher but before I could talk to him I realised it was time for lunch and all of a sudden I was at my friend's place where we ate roast pork and yada yada yada..."

If I was to write that as a short story, you really wouldn't find it very entertaining. So why do you think I'm interested in you telling it to me?

Other people's taxes
Once again I am late with my annual tax report. I will probably try to tell you all about it. If so, please tell me to shut up.

Slim girls complaining about being fat
Next time someone asks me if those jeans make their bum look big I'm going to reply, "No, your bum makes your bum look big".

Reality TV
When is this craze going to die? I predict that on the next Big Brother final, while they’re all parading around on that catwalk, a sniper sits in a tree and takes them all out: bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang! Nothing will be able to top a live Channel 4 pseudo-celebrity slaughter, so after the fuss has died down we’ll move onto something else.

Trying to get the duvet back in the duvet cover
This one's self-explanatory, I think.

Overuse of ellipses
Especially common on blogs... it's almost like nobody really thinks before they type... rather just let their thoughts spill out... and we have to kind of just keep going with them... not really knowing where or when they're going to stop... or even if they'll ever stop at all..... and then of course there are those who don't realise three dots is all it takes.....and some use four or five......or even six or seven.......or nine or ten............

And finally...
People who complain too much. Like this.

  1. I'm not quite sure how reality TV gets away with calling itself reality TV. Most of it doesn't really resemble any reality I'm familiar with.

  2. Yeah let's just have Big Brother Celebrity Death Camp - much more entertaining.

  3. Absolutely. Every Big Brother contestant should have to walk through giant gates with a sign above reading "ARBEIT MACHT FREI"

  4. Agree with all the points here. Dreams, balls to them.
    Celebs oh jesus no.
    Anorexia? Get a life.
    Reality TV, smash up your television and be free.

    Considering I used to work with Anorexic celebrities who talked about their dreams endlessly I have been quite conservative.

    'Trying to get the duvet back in the duvet cover'

    I can help you with this pesky task. There is a simple method which makes it far less time consuming, ergo moderately less boring.

  6. I'm getting better at the duvet thing, at least I'm not ending up trapped inside it anymore, but it's still the most tedious of all domestic chores.

    I would rather clean the floors.

  7. I've just thought up the most boring reality show ever - Thin Celebrity Duvet Cover Challenge. I'm calling the BBC now.

  8. ARBEIT MACHT FREI

    I saw those gates last year. What bugs me about that line is that it's always referred to as a "cruel joke" or an "ironic taunt". But I don't think it's really all that clever or funny.

    Maybe it's just because I work in advertising, but I could think of much worse.

    The Germans were never really known for their wit though, hey.

    I object! My dreams are fascinating! I only tell the good ones, like the time I lived in a burrow and all my neighbours were little woodland animals.

    Ah, I was so happy back then.

  10. You could never bore me, horsey.

    Except for that time you made me go home at 4am because you decided we needed an early night. That was kind of boring.

    Oh hang on, that was me, wasn't it?

  11. Other people's dreams - generally I agree but I was amused as my friend Kimothy last night told me about her dream. Well it did involve me!

    I shan't bore you with the details but apparently, she and I won a raffle and the prize was to perform cabaret in between sets by Gwen Stefani and Oasis at some big deal festival. The audience thought we sucked even though we were extremely polished.

    But what's with the Big Brother dissing? It's an incredibly entertaining social experiment ya.

  12. Aargh!! I'm feeling guilty now ... I use the ellipses all the time ... sorry ... (and I ramble a lot ... just thought I'd share ...) Hello.
