Born of Humans, I grew up in the land of Bog Brained Murphys.
After many years of learning about Ox bow lakes and how to ask to go to the toilet in Irish.
I emigrated to the great metropolis what is Dublin, there I was educated in the ways of traditional animation and drawing in general.
After 4 years the lack of employment, forced me to the wondrous city of Edinburgh, a decision I have never regretted, as it has a castle, a constant supply of Stand up Comedians, and one particularly good Singer songwriter.

Now as you well know I'm not normally an irritable person.
(the above statement is false)
But there are a few things in this world that really grind my gears, so in the vein of BBC's Room 101 I have compiled a list of a few of my own personal pet hates.

Bad Spoofing.
I can not stand films that just are just a series of scenes from other famous (not always) films with bad cock or fart jokes inserted, stung together with a plot thought up by an amoeba with no sense of humour.  Case in Point any film whose title ends with "...Movie" or the Shrek franchise.
Now some spoof films are ace i.e Airplane!, Blazing Saddles or Hot Fuzz (which is more of a Homage than a spoof), but these projects were all blessed with a certain luxury.  Talent.

Internet Speak.
Stop with the lol's and the omg's and the smiley face inserted into every sentence after every verb.  
and while your at it why not spell words as they appear in the dictionary.
You see we are now all connected and can communicate with others all over this blue globe of ours, so let's make full use of vocabulary, okay.

People Who Takes Board Games Too Seriously.
The Clues in the title.
It's a GAME people, you do not own Shaftesbury Avenue, nor have you actually removed that mans Charlie Horse.

International Terrorism.
I apologise in advance for this.
I have a theory that The Terrorists end game is actually to disrupt airports that eventually we'll all just end up staying at home.
Airports have become so frustrating, que after que after que after. I counted at least 6 on one visit to a London Airport.
Every time I go to an airport there's something else I can't bring.
Eventually airplanes are gonna a completely nude service.

Scum Littering.
Now I come from Ireland and live in Scotland, two deeply patriotic countries, but still every day I see twats chucking their Buckfast bottles and Chipper bags on the street two foot from a bin.
Sometime I think it would be nice to grab their rubbish shove it down their throats screaming "DISPOSE OF YOUR LITTER IN THE CORRECT MANNER, MOTHERFUCKER!!"
But I don't I just continue walking on, clenching my keys in my pocket.

85% Of The Human Population.
The Earth would be a much better place with out most of us.


So that's some of the things what I hate.
Now it's up to ye lot to see if these things get into Room 101, drop us a line on your opinions.

P.S. Stayed tuned for Room Lovely

where these people surely are

The most painful thing in the world is falling on your keys, especially if your a man, as men have always more keys than the ladies.

As a child if you owned a dinky toy car (hotwheels if your American) and it's doors could open this ment it could fly.

Robot hands have only evil applications, especially when fueled by european larger.

Swearing in an Irish accent sounds so much better,
i.e "Shite", "Bollix" and "Who' er"

The best way to remove loose teeth is to eat a Cola Chew Bar

Simon Pegg does an excellent impression of a T 1000

A Lego man head can fit perfectly up a human nostril

Bacon is the proof there is a higher power.

Jade Goody is the proof there isn't one.

There are no straight roads in New Zealand.

Only the first swig of Irn Bru is nice, after that it's just nasty and anyone who tells you otherwise is a lying patriotic Scot (or Mongolian)

Every film from Hollywood is either a remake, a biopic, a sequel, a prequel, a threquel, a re-imagining, or based on comic book, or novel.  Heaven for fend some one should have an original idea.

Taxi Drivers have a very limited vocabulary

No one can run and keep their dignity

"Old Irelands dead and gone it's with O' Leary in the grave"

These people Rock lots

Some you may know, some you may not.

I once stuck a lego man head up my right nostril

I have a large birthmark on my back which is strangely hairy, I have never actually seen it.

My family are the only Mathersons in the 04 phone directory.

I have never seen any of the Godfather films

As a child my mum made me wear Tartan trousers and an Aran Jumper

The only two continents I have never been two are South America and Antarctica (granted I have only been in Asia for a maximum of 3 hours)

The only computer games console I ever did own was a Sega Mega Drive

The only time I've been in hospital (apart from my birth) is for a ingrown Toenail and for X-rays of my stupid teeth.

My favorite Dinosaur is a Triceratops, they rocked!

For one birthday my folks got me a book on male puberty, I never read it and refused to keep it in my room, why couldn't they just get me Lego like every other year.

Now it's your turn Ten random facts please

Worst news ever Peter Jackson will not be making "The Hobbit".
New Line have come out the stating that their going ahead with making the Hobbit and another Lord of the Rings prequel, with out the involvement of Mr Jackson.
Jackson has sent an email to the fan website theOneRing.net [link] explaining how all the has come to pass.
The general jist of it is that New Line have a limited time with the rights to the entire Tolkien universe and so they want to make it as soon as possible and reap the rewards.
This has really pissed me off, as it just proves what a terrible state the film industry, all they care about is the all mighty dollar and creating art. Which is what the medium of film is, art.
I hate the way major hollywood studios just force out bastard offspring sequels, case in point X-men 3 if ever there was an example of a forced quickly made dire successor to an otherwise enjoyable franchise it's X-men 3 bad characters, rubbish casting and a complicated plot lost in pre production.
It's the same thing thats going to happen to the Hobbit, "let's quickly strike while the irons hot and make a quick buck, and screw anyone who was involved with the original and had ideas and plans to continue their vision"

I see so many films made to fill a gap, some many films made because either is rather rubbish predecessor, can you believe their making a Cheaper by the Dozen 3, MOTHER-FUCKING 3 why they hell do we need these films.

These films aren't art there product and the studios see any art as product.
Granted their running a business, but in my view their running it badly. Hollywood is slowly turning into one of those channels on cable that just repeat rubbish sitcoms ad nauseam.

I can't really see anyway out of this spiral vortek of shite, other than a total takeover of all the major studios by people who actually like films, and want to see good films made.
Plan B is worse we all just stop going to the cinema or buying DVDs, which unfortunately would kill the industry. I don't like Plan B.

So yeah thats my two cents on the current state on cinema.
But does it make me a hypocrite cus I really can not wait to see Spider-Man 3
