Pet hates

Writer: Dave GobleDave Goble

Heights. Yellow cars. Queues. Noisy mobile phone users. Reality TV. Most TV. Fat cats. Personal (hardly) music players. 4x4’s. fArt, including bisected animals in formaldehyde, and unmade beds. Sea cucumbers. The unreachable itch. The 05:28 AM alarm. Flared trousers. Magpies. Cigarettes. Cover versions of great songs. Sand in a sandwich. Nylon bedding. Comb-overs (aka the 3 shredded wheat look). Beards without moustaches. Beards where you could lose a small dog. Did I say heights?! Garibaldi biscuits. That damned Microsoft paper clip! Horizontal rain. Cheque shirt with striped tie. 3-wheel cars. 3-wheel motor-bikes. Mobile phone ring tones. Perforated paper that tears anywhere but the perforations. Gazpacho. Perfumed teas. Seaside piers. Nouveau cuisine. Tweed. Cloud on a night of meteor showers. “Out of stock” signs. Pre-recorded New Year’s Eve through midnight TV programmes. Ear hair. Nose hair. No hair. Immaculate allotment sheds. Immaculate allotments. Creationism. Borscht. Pencil rubbers that leave more mess than you started with. People who talk, but don't listen. Buses "Not in Service". Potholes. Marzipan.
