People with bigger bikes who fly past you on roads with amazing scenery.

i dont get why you can get done for going 10 miles per hour over the limit but not for driving miles under the limit, i.e followed an old person the other day doing 32mph down a dual carriageway!!!

(I think it's beyond trying to explain why cricket and by that I mean proper Test cricket is the most exciting sport you can watch.)

Formula 1 - it's just driving round in circles.

Self scan checkouts - it always ends up taking longer than if you'd just joined a queue for a manned checkout.

High heels - stupid idea, they are totally pointless.

Leaf blowers used on tarmac - horrible smelly noisy things, just use a broom.

False eyelashes - because they always look false.

Poodles - why would anyone buy a dog and then shave it's fur into stupid shapes. Alright maybe I mean poodle owners, the dogs are just stupid for allowing it to be done to them.

Diet caffeine free Coke - isn't that just overpriced tasteless brown water?

Fallout - I mean what is the point of him - can anyone tell me?

Football - Everyone just looks so utterly bewildered when you say you don't support a team, as if that really does away with any chance of having a conversation with you at all about anything. At grass roots it's lots of people kicking a ball about in rubbish weather, at the top it's a bunch of guys paid squillions of pounds to kick a ball and provide amateur dramatics if someone accidentally bumps into them.

Fresh water fishing - Sitting in the rain, waiting for a fish to get caught on your line, so you can release it back. I've informed Mrs Jambo if I ever take up fishing, the chances are I'm actually having an affair and we could save some expense of me buying a stick, some string and a load of maggots if I just came out and said I was off to see the bit on the side.

I almost put an apology to you in my original note... Out of interest, how many times have you been hit on the head by a cricket ball?

I think that could be expanded to "Jordan" couldn't it?

I have often wondered what it's like but thought I don't want to buy a can and throw all but one gulp away. I don't actually get diet coke either!

I was having a conversation with a fisherman the other day (who wasn't at the time) and he was going on about it's him against the fish. I just don't think you're doing yourself any favours if you allude to being outwitted by a fish.

Never on the head, but you get sort of Spidey senses after a while and you can keep an eye on the balls being knocked about all over the place. I was doing some photos for Brian Lara for a Trinidad publication in the nets and he said to get a bit closer and assured me he wouldn't hit me. 2 balls later I was nursing a massive bruise on my shin.
