No, not which animals you do or don't like, but the little things that annoy the hell out of you, while being insignificant to other people.

What are yours? Here's a list of my top 5. And yes, I do have far too much time on my hands...

1. Flies. Not the ones on your trousers, but the insect variety. Why do they always manage to fly in a straight line long enough to squeeze past your net curtains, but then go into 'loop' mode - flying around in circles inside your house, and never managing to get out again?

2. Moths. What sort of idiot creature hides from the light all day, then comes out when it gets dark, only to fly towards the nearest light? Why don't they come out during the day and fly towards the sun?

3. Going to the toilet. "Number one's" isn't so bad, but "Number two's" is such a waste. Surely after millions of years of evolution, nature should have come up with a way of utilising every part of what we eat or drink, instead of expelling most of it?

4. Shaving. I hate shaving, yet I have to because I hate having a 'tache and beard even more. It's such a complete waste of time. Again, you'd think nature would realise, "Ooh, they keep cutting it off... maybe they don't like it... let's do away with it then." If only there was some way to turn off facial hair growth!

5. Tesco milk cartons. They put those stupid little plastic 'spouts' in them - but they're too far back in the carton, and completely the wrong shape. I dare anyone to try pouring milk out of them - you ALWAYS get two streams - one goes onto your cereal or into your tea, the other always seems to think that your kitchen floor or work-surface isn't quite sticky enough, and makes its way straight there. I always cut off the corner of the carton at the opposite end - it's much better and cleaner that way.


So there you go - another pointless topic. Hopefully at least one person will find it mildly amusing enough to respond with their own pet hates...

You could control Bob!

Bob is a rather large American tourist who hates spiders as much as we do, he is rather annoyed with his arch rival Webby the Spider and wants to get revenge by making him a splat on the sport's page.

What would you control, though, if you're not controlling the spiders? A swat for splatting them??

As long as we would not be controlling spiders that would be alright!

You WOULD be though, if it's a game like a wrestling game.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a computer game like WWF Smackdown where you kick-box using spiders?
