  • In the Loop (more creative swearing than you’ll ever need)
  • Stewart Lee (for having the stones to allow his recent awful TV show to air at all)
  • Vintage ice creams (good old Freaky Feet. Though spot the one that shouldn’t be there)
  • Laughing at people attempting to have a picnic in lukewarm sunshine (bet that tin of Frutini is transporting you right to Bondi beach, isn’t it?)

  • BBC2 not showing the second season of The Wire straight away (‘in a few weeks’ they say. ‘Mid May’ we’ve heard. When’s season three going out then? Christmas Day?)
  • V-Water (the orange one smells like baby piss. Probably tastes like it too, you’ll have to ask around to confirm that)
  • Desperate Housewives anti-climax (kill a character somebody might care about why don’t ya?)
  • Picturehouse cinemas (full of poncy tossers who think that smiling is only for those without a post-grad education)
