Agree with every point made so far.

Add to that

Commercialism
Political correctness
Double standards within government and general public
The weather (well, sombody had to mention it :D )
"Samaritan" type person/culture is extinct
Media intrusion (not just on celebs - our family has had lots of hassel through untrue and unfounded allegations)
Guilty until prooven innocent policing for the honest general public
Innocent even when guilty policing for real criminals
Police goverment fixation on speeding and literally ignoring driving standards
No penal system capeable of discouraging criminals (i.e death sentance)

Plenty more where that came from :(

1) Unreliable weather.
2) Negative nature of British people.
3) Incessant whingeing.

....and why do you think that "British" people whinge more these days???

They've always whinged. Force of habit I suppose.

I haven't "always" whinged - however I do now.

Stop whinging and do something about it. It's getting very tiring.

....as are secondary usernames.

I don't post a thread every day bitching though.

One of you hit the other hard please!!

What?

Flatty- You'll find AP was referring to DAS, not you.

I know but I just didn't understand his point.

Weather
Selfish goverment, no matter who is in power at the time. Selfish as individuals and as a party
Chavs
Loss of family values
Price of most luxury items
Ignorance of public
Stupidity of public
Herdism (I made that word up ;)) of public
Rudeness of public (including those on here i.e driving up to roadworks and cutting in at last minute)
e.t.c......

Oh, and asylum seekers, almost forgot that one.

Profile "Darts_aint_sport" appeared magically as if from nowhere with Zero posts on a thread I did called "Is darts a sport".

It was quite blatant he/she is a regular on here under another username as they used smileyts and all that stuff on their first few posts - nobody really knows how to do this when they first start posting.

Whoever it is doesn't want to use their genuine username.

My guess is AP was referring to DAS using a second username to have a dig at him and wasn't using his username that we all know him/her by.

What does it matter?!? My point still stands. STOP WHINGING.

Clear as mud. :)

Talking of smilies, how do you make the puzzled smiley?

lol. Sorry, I mean LOL.

DAS *does* have a point though - it's a game, along with golf, pool, tiddlywinks and dominoes. Nothing to distinguish them. Can you imagine...

"We've got a new admission today - Andy Fordham"

"Right, let's have a look at him."

"He's a sportsman, doctor"

"Right-o"

Followed by belly laughs until the doctor has a convulsion. :lol1: :lol1:

Darts - a sport??!! :cuckoo: :freak3: :D

It's as clear as day..

The Pope isn't Muslim.
The Sky isn't red.
Darts isn't sport.

OK.

Right back on track. I don't like the fact that ALL fast food is junk, you can't get anything decent. It's junk or go hungry.

What??

That's a British phenomenon??

My lunch takes me about 3 minutes or less to buy every day, and i almost *never* eat junk. I don't understand the point you're making? It's getting tenuous, in my opinion...

Apologies, of an evening.

Can't get a decent baguette anywhere!! Its either KFC, McD's, BK. GOd bless America.

Where do you live in Northants?

Towards the East of the county. E.g The bit that's even worse than the rest.

Not Corby, surely?

Err, no. Nowehere near there!!!

Move to somewhere you like?

Everywhere I like in England is stupidly over-priced, another problem I have with the place.

Stupidly inflated housing costs.

I will move abroad when a collection of things come together.
