- Computers, tropical spiders, lavatory humour, vomitting, maths, assumptions (don't assume - ask!), creepy, lechy drunk ol' blokes who think they stand a chance (you sooo don't!!), clowns, financial contraints, vivisection, corruption, denial, emotional stupidity, naivety when it is not cute, narrow-mindedness, patriarchy, repression, the State, capital, rampant comsumerism, conformity, non-conformity when it is just for the sake of it, flakiness, people who misuse their technical or administrative powers, thoughtlessness, insensitivity, rudeness, my slooow metabolism, that awful half-wit bloke in the Morethan insurance ads, Katie Meluas sofa ad last Christmas, Golf coverage on Beeb 2 instead of the cool lesbian film I wanted to see, unfettered moby usage in public, cervical smears, change for changes sake (eg shit fruitless public sector "initiatives" - just let peeps get on with nursing/teaching etc)..er that will do for now!!!
