1 - Pop up boxes on the Internet

---

May I refer you to www.mozilla.org For my money, a better browser than IE despite not actually having reached a 1.0 release yet, and it has an option to disable pop-up boxes.

A lot of things I'd put in, like rape, nuclear weapons and violence have already been chosen, so I'm going to try to go for some different things. Although, being from Bristol, I'm going to have to agree with Tycho for my number one choice -
1)Firstbus - the bus service here is utterly apalling
2)Redundancy
3)Jim Davidson - how this man is still on TV, joking about drunk driving and violence towards women is beyond me.
4)Reality TV - Big Brother, Temptation Island. Anything that parades a bunch of ill-adjusted emotional exhibitionists across our screen under the guise of entertainment.
5)Gwyneth Paltrow - do I really need to elaborate?

I've got a lot of agreement with things previously said, (celery is a definiote contender, and you should see the state of First Bus in West Lothian) but for the record:

1. Broccoli (whose idea was it dye califlower green?)
2. People who use mobile phones when driving
3. People who don't see the need to give signals when driving
4. Lag on the internet
5. Aggressive drunks

1. France - i had a bad experience there and have hated it ever since.

2. Flannel - i hate that word- egh, it sends tingles down my spine. I think it's the "fl" bit of it.

3. People who say PIN Number - This stems from my dad's hatered of this onto me. When peopel say this they are actually saying "Personal Identication Number Number"

I can't really think of much else

lol That is a very good point you make FG, and easily the most surreal and best answer in the thread.

Ohhhh yes... does this mean you also have a problem (as I do) with "dot.com" (i.e. dot dot com)
