What would you like to ban?

Stockmarket spruikers, seminar sellers and all other get rich quick quackers preying on honest mum and dad investors and newbies. Makes me sick.
 
-Brazilians on the Northern Beaches with their stupid wooden paddle games
-anyone playing soccer at the beach
-wearing clothes, using umbrellas, flying kites at the beach (more directed at 'tourists')
 
- roided up wogs at Music festivals (they dont even know the music)
- footy players in general (I am one)
- people that bring nothing to the table

I'd like to ban my neighbours teenagers from throwing wild parties every freaking fortnight when they are away.

I mean c'mon I'm on bloody acreage for a bit of piece and quiet I don't need drunk teenagers and singstar at three in the freaking morning with the prevailing wind blowing the smell of marijuana, beer and vomit in my direction.

P.S. if those teenagers are reading this... I found what you were attempting to grow in my forest. I'm sure my compost heap enjoyed it. Nom nom nom

Okay, something that annoys me EVERY day, and should absolutely be banned and with drawn from sale:

All bedside clock radios that feature 1970's technology (and as far as I can see that's all of them).

Since Groundhog Day, it seems the only real advance has been to have an illuminated display instead of flip-over cards. And maybe you now can wake to CD or iPod. But where's the press button channel selection like in your car (I had that in my 1962 Austin Healey)? Where's the remote so you can select a channel/station without getting half-way out of bed? Where's the digital illuminated display of the channel/station that you've selected.

No they all have 1920s style tuning knobs, meaning you have to fiddle around with said knob, in the dark, to change stations, with an un-illuminated tuning band display just to (not) help your selection.

If anyone has found something that works as well as a car radio, or a mini hi-fi (which don't seem to have clock functions, and are too bulky for a bedside table), let me know. I've checked all the electrical stores (I did find one with presets, but the buttons were not illuminated, at the back, and the size of possum poos). Hotels and motels are still back in "70s mode

C'mon, Sony, Sharp etc, get your act together!

Cheers, Badger

You "heard" that pasta had no food value so you want it banned?

WTF:confused:
