Hell is other.... people, right? (i never got past basic french at school) Glad you like the stress relief - much better than the real thing IMO.
My top five prejudices.
1. spanish/italian students, if you arent going to have sex with me - fuck off out of my way in the street and go home.
2. old cunts, seriously - you are a burden, fuck off to an old peoples island or something.
3. not-irish homeless, shit, better check my wallet
4. poorly dressed rich people - what are you?
5. ugly people, im sorry but, eh, sorry.
thanks.
I've only got one today so far:
1) Smelly old woman in a shopmobility scooter who tried to push in front of a queue of mums, kids and me all trying to get stuff bought before school (in their case) and before killing people through cigarette compulsion (me, and possibly some of the kids. You never know). She didn't get in, but old people believing they have the right to push ahead just cause they're old really really hacks me off.
*edit for bad spelling
and one of my ultimate prejudices. Zack Snyder.
For those of you who missed his surface sputum considerations of Dawn of the Dead and 300, count yourselves lucky. I was hoping this project would be strangled at birth, but no.
[http://www.watchmenmovie.co.uk/intl/uk/]
according to Snyder:"...this is a very pop culturally aware movie and there aren't many of those out there at the moment"
Oh really. Anyone who can ignore the fascism and homophobia in 300 is not going to treat Watchmen , a highly intricate piece, with the attention it deserves. Sigh.
I just rang my mum and asked her if you were gay. Her reply is worth quoting in full:
"Well, I've never met him, but I can see why it might be thought he's gay given the unsubtle body fascism and "blood bonding" in the film 300. The thing is though son - and in your industry I would have thought you'd have known this - gay men have good taste... and 300 is a shite film. And don't get me started on the racist view of the Persians. I used to date a Persian before I met your Dad and they were very good-looking and kind...
*cuts her off*
Oh, fogot to mention - dee, don't worry about Watchmen. Like Swamp Thing and V before it Alan Moore will disassociate his name from it, and the people who don't know the comicbook will be intrigued enough to read it to compare and contrast. (So Moore wins both ways!)
and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Yeah, I know Moore disassociates himself, but in my head Rorschach has a Northampton acccent:

1) Pernickity old women who spend forty minutes on the 'phone whining about the cost of everything, only to tell you that they don't need to write their cheque guarantee card number on the back of the cheque they're sending because "...Coutts never bounce their cheques";*
2) Rich, eccentric plump middle-aged women from the chattering classes who smell of dirty cat litter and wedge themselves into the bus seat next to you;
3) The loud Turkish bloke sitting behind me on said bus screaming into his mobile for forty-five minutes at his unfaithful girlfriend about how her new bloke only wants her to suck his cock and fuck her (this might have been amusing if the guy wasn't so banal);
4) The overly polite bus driver who gave way to any and all passing traffic, so subjecting me to items 2) and 3) for an unneccessary extra twenty minutes;
5) Perrier-Ricard for deciding not to export Jameson's "Crested Ten" Whiskey to the UK anymore and remving one of the simpler pleasures that may have made all the above bearable...
Can anyone loan me an Uzi and give me directions to the nearest McDonalds?
* Coutts is the bank of royalty, the landed gentry and the exceedingly wealthy....
