Things that are, frankly, a load of old sh*t

I assume you have these stupid stick figure families in England?

Never seen these. How odd.

Really? Maybe they are just an Australian thing. I ****ing hate them!

Modern parents who call their kids "Guys" eg

"Hey Guys, what say we do the washing up huh?"

What? You're their Dad not a Summer Camp motivational pack leader, I think what you meant to say was..

"Get the washing up done. Now please"

The Use of the word 'Guys' by anyone at anytime. Most specifically when I use it, the shame and self loathing is never greater.

Folding bikes.

The phrase "let's touch base".

Those new style pedestrian crossings that are now all over Brighton.

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Family Guy is much funnier than The SImpsons.

Blasphemy, Family Guy is 99% purile shite. The flashbacks, the pointless songs, the gags that are clearly some kind of in-joke that the producers are laughing about but no-one else is.. etc etc.

Nibble is winning this thread by the way.

Sadly not. We have them, alright. Only ever seen on Vauxall Zafira's for some reason. Often twinned with a 'Mum's Taxi' sticker.

I like those

the pointless songs

I like those. Especially the "You've got aids" song.

the gags that are clearly some kind of in-joke that the producers are laughing about but no-one else is

How would you know it's an "in-joke" if you're not involved in it?

Christ. This.

I remember being bored stiff when I was a kid, seen and not heard etc and I vowed when I have kids I will engage with them and stimulate them as much as possible and I intend to but I am constantly amazed at just how much stuff is focussed on kids these days. Every day out is completely child focussed, everything geared for kids. When my brother and his wife bring my nephew up for a few days I am astounded that for 4 solid days nothing is done without the 6 year old's opinion being taken into account. Middle Farm, swimming, pizza hut (yeuurgh), cinema, Drusilla's, etc. Jesus! Do something for yourselves. "Do you want to go Geo-Cacheing Uncle Nibs?" No I ****ing don't.

I look around and I see all these kids being indulged limitlessly. Companies have cottoned on and the "child pound" is a big deal. Shame to see so many parents falling for it hook, line and sinker.

You need BALANCE. Generally this is why at weekends we have one family day where we do this sort of stuff but on the other day they tend to have to fit in with us.

But since we are making a list of things that are a load of old sh*t can I just say Facebook without qualifying it further.

Escape to the Country. In which two people with perfect faces for radio are shown round a dream property that they can't afford by a smug c***. If you're really lucky the couple will also be shown drinking wine and trying their hand at weaving or sheep worrying. All so another set of smug c***ts get to brag that their house was on telly when they're in the village pub drinking orange juice.

The fact that McDonalds stop serving McMuffins at 10:30am

BOTTLED water.

BOTTLED water.

I don't like the CONCEPT of the astronomical price but, at times, a bottle of water has SAVED me.
