People slagging off my country. Attack anything you like about my personality, my manner, my company, I don't mind (I've probably already done so myself), but when people start badmouthing Ireland, I go like Marty McFly when he hears the word chicken. I've started fights over it. Not won them, of course, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Also, hay fever. It fucking sucks.
The pollen count, that's a difficult job. (C) Milton Jones.
For me it's got to me the idiocy of racism, it just makes no sense.
That and the bloody Irish.

Seriously tho, people who read certain newspapers and genuinely believe we're packed to the rafters with immigrants and benefit cheats, despite, if you ask them, probably living somewhere where they've never even met anyone a bit foreign. Seems to be the people who have no contact with other cultures are the ones most xenophobic.
Who looks at a front page that says 'ALL UK JOBS THIS YEAR WENT TO FOREIGNERS' and thinks, yeah, that sounds about right, I'm not not a single British person was employed in the last 12 months. It's painful to know how many people just accept what they read because it's in print.
There was a report on fullfact.org about '400,000 scrounging families in the UK' - turns out it's households, not families, and at least a quarter are students, and a quarter are retired, those scum, working for fifty years then just lazing about on their tiny pensions.
Also interesting to see how many anti BBC stories you see in the tabloids about 'offensive material' when most of the tabloid bosses own a vast amount of porn companies, and TV companies who'd benefit from the BBC being killed off.
