    From the last 50 years… hhmmmm…. how old is Tony Blair? Can we un-invent him?

    Personally I’d un-invent Soap Operas – how better the world would be if the likes of Emmerfail, Die-nasty, Corporation Street, Deadenders and Brollyoaks weren’t invented.

    The Internet, it’s a complete waste of time, unless your into porn.

    CS Gas, I absolutely hate the stuff.

    Sat Nav, I have said since it came out that if it can tell you where you are at any given point in time then it can be used to work out how fast you are going and will soon enough be used by the powers that be to that effect. I believe there are now plans along those lines.

    The AK 47, surely must have killed more people since its creation than any other weapon.

    HD DVD because anyone who bought one must feel well ripped off now.

    Anthrax, supposedly the easiest WMD on the planet to manufacture, luckily we havent seen it set loose in anger yet.

    The reality Tv talent show, in its many guises.

    Quiz TV – it gets right under my skin, whatever happened to chuck norris trying to sell you some ropey looking piece of gym equipment between 12am and 5 am (at the time I thought that was annoying). The idea of coming up with a question that has million possible answers and then watching someone with no soul defrauding the nations borderline retarded, saying, "is it up there? no, sorry, feel free to call again if you think of another possible answer" is just too shady for mainstream TV IMO.

    on the subject of mobile phones my partner tells me that since Monday there is now a prison sentence fo up to 7 years if found using one whilst driving [maybe only if you happen to kill someone in the process..don’t know the technicalities of the ruling]…however, I am still seeing people [mostly women,I hasten to add] glued to them whilst driving..there is nothing that spooks me more than looking in my rear view mirror and seeing someone with one hand on the wheel chatting away into a mobile. oh, and can we un invent land mines please?

    Oh, they’re still around alright, Moe – I was nearly sliced in half by some orange-skinned bimbo turning off the Luton bypass this morning, tartily manicured hand pressing her Nokia Wasteofbloodandorgans 500 to her face whilst she told her bestist mate ever (for this week) what her and Sharon and Courtney got up to in Razzies Wine Bar last night, all the while oblivious to anything as trifling as Other Motorists…

    Emoticons!

    Yes I do use them occasionally, but they are seriously irritating!
