I won't even start on things I'd like to ban in Thailand!
My pet hate is going to a gig and you're behind someone insisting on filming the whole bloody thing on a mobile phone! Concerts cost a fortune these days; enjoy the moment. It's a practice that theoretically is banned. What's just as bad is the texting and even calling going on during a performance.
So I say ban mobile phones from live music venues, theatres, cinemas and other live entertainment places.
...my LI190 went a lot better than 45 an all, almost got 50 out of it coming down Shooter Hill once

A few years ago the lap record at Lydden Hill circuit, for under 250cc vintage 'motorcycle' class was held by Stuart Owen (I think) on a kitted (248cc) Lambretta. It achieved lap speeds in excess of 70MPH. It has since been beaten by a motorbike. Having said that, My quickest Lambretta is capable of a genuine 65MPH, but going over 50 MPH on it, is not something I relish. They were not made for that, they're town bikes. The thing they have in spades is an iconic style, never beaten.
People from displaying faux outrage at petty things that don’t have any direct effect on their lives in anyway, shape or form. I used to before I realised the only people my ‘outrage’ effects is myself. Sometimes, for the benefit of your own chi, you just have to let that shit go.

One of the funniest things I have seen was way back in the early 80's, we were at the Blackheath Tea stand on our proper motorbikes, when a group of about 30 Mods on hairdryers came past, plenty of 'bants' going back and forth as they bumbled past, which was all it was. Anyway one of the Mod chaps goes over the top, stopped and gave us all wanker signs, then stalled his mirror stand, cue a few fellas running over to him as he tried to start his Italian Stallion, he was chucked in the pond followed by his scooter. Terrible behaviour.

Friend of mine goes to a few gigs and this annoys him. Couple of times recently he's been to a gig where you have to put your mobile in a pouch which is then sealed with a security tag, bit like the ones you see on clothes in shops.
On the way out you then put this tag in a device that unlocks it. You have your mobile with you all the time but cannot access it.
It's down to 11% in California, already. So would love to see it get down to zero.
Just out of interest why?
1. I dislike it, especially the smell 2. It's very bad for anyone who does it 3. It's an addictive substance with no redeeming value 4, It kills 9 million per year worldwide 4. The cancer is causes and treatment for it raises the cost of everyone else's healthcare
i did point out earlier that the cost in the uk of smoking related illnesses are less of a cost compared to the tax earned, i just think if your going to ban everything that can harm someone then where do you stop, im a smoker all be it less than i used to be, im fully aware that i have a much higher risk of getting cancer.
what i do agree on is that you shouldn't enforce your smoking on other people, for example standing in a doorway smoking blowing it all over others that do not smoke.
Hey, if you're happy having smelly breath, clothes and want your family to watch you die a slow and painful cancerous death.
Baseball Caps the wearing of, particularly by old people
My aunt would never let my uncle wear a flat cap because, she said, it made him look old (he was around 80 at the time), so he had to wear a baseball cap well into his 80's. As soon as my aunt died, the second thing he done was go out and buy a proper flat cap to wear. The first thing he done was move the dining table out of the kitchen and into the dining room as he wanted to do for the previous 60 odd years of his life...
Just now have this image of the old lad waiting dutifully by the bedside of his missus at home, she passes away. He punches the air and runs to the kitchen to move the table into the dining room.

Tbh, we all thought he'd be gone in weeks as, apparently, they never spent a night apart in the 60 odd years they were married, but he's like a born again hooligan. Well, he's joined a male voice choir and slips down the Osbourne View for his liquid lunch every other day.
People who don't say 'camaraderie' properly! (It's not COMaraderie!) And yes, just heard someone say it incorrectly on the radio now. Just ban them!
And while you're at it, learn how to say 'Lackadaisical' correctly as well! (e.g. Jim Beglin and Sam Matterface when you're commentating!!!).
Don't you mean lapsadaisical?
Ha, I rest my case!! Or you're just winding me up right? ...........

A few project ones for you!
Blue sky thinking - what does that actually mean?
Agile thinking/delivery - just another way of saying "we haven't got a proper, defined plan; we're making this all up as we go along".
Why is every project or initiative referred to as a "journey"? Stop trying to make it more exciting than it really is.
We can have a good game of "bullshit bingo" whenever we get announcements from our senior management.
Anyone remember Gus from Drop The Dead Donkey?
