    What really bores you?

    Bores primarily, rather than irritates, although one often leads to the other.

    For me it's, among other things:

    Sport, any and all (except caving & mountaineering), i.e. competitive sport one might say

    Most pop, warbling opera, musicals

    Modern art, sculpture, architecture. Detestable rubbish.

    Chav documentaries on fat people or the supernatural or UFOs etc, especially when commentator has a tedious droning American accent (which most do)

    World War 2 documentaries (Jesus, get over it - That was a life time ago now!)

    The Kennedys - Who shot JFK etc (ditto)

    Over-earnest sanctimonious PCness (but no objection to a bit, in consideration for others)

    Vegetarians and ism. Worse still, Vegans

    Fussy and/or slow eaters generally

    Fundies, whether Christian or Muslim or other

    Charity fundraising, and the whole parasite "industry"

    Lib dems (although straying more into irritation territory there)

    Snazzy indoor shopping centres (outdoor markets OK though)


    I'll probably think of some more after seeing replies ...

          Do you sit in the pub discussing who shot JFK then?
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
