Bullshit dressed up as science. I have no problem with people believing in bullshit. Religion, for instance. If you want to believe in a super powerful zombie who could cure every illness in the world but just chose not to, or a magic pair of pants, or that simply saying someone's name legitimately provokes assault - fair play to you.
But trying to dress bullshit up as scientific to give it a veneer of respectability - no.
Homeopathy is a perfect example of this. Diluting something down so that it becomes MORE 'potent'?
Diluting it until there is less left of it in a solution than there are known atoms in the universe?
Hitting the bottle you make the solution in with a leather paddle because that's the only way to truly release its potency?
Ignoring the results of every single scientific study of homeopathy which has concluded that it's shite... But still calling yourselves 'doctors'?6 -
With you 100% Leroy. Can I add the pseudo science that goes into flogging cosmetics. Laboratoire Garnier, my arse.

when they say - 76% of women agree etc have you seen how small the survey is?
One of the was 47 people !!!1 -
people who say Pri Minister rather than Prime Minister.
I was brought up on it once about 20 years as didn't realise I said it, and now I notice it everywhere.0 -
Presumably we can add astrology into this as well. Not technically a science, but they play on the alignment of the stars etc, which annoys me because I think it cheapens the fact astro physics is what people should be talking about when it comes to the stars etc.Leroy Ambrose said:Bullshit dressed up as science.

When you've strained for what feels like ages trying to push out a tricky poo then getting up to admire the masterpiece only to find it has snuck around the u-bend unnoticed8

The phantom poo I believe is the correct term.0

The old ghost shit eh?0
-
What makes it more mysterious is if it's a no wiper. Leaves you questioning whether you actually curled it down or not.4
-
I hate when you know that you've had a no wiper.....but bottle it and have a curtesy dab check rather than boldly pulling your trollies up and bowling out.9

Those blooming Wild Canada geese who poo everywhere around a pond and have that irritating honking noise. Sometimes there can be upto 50 or 60 of them around one pond. If had one I would just machine gun them all. After that I could cut their heads and feet off and pluck all their feathers and them sell them as food. I could flog them to various people by telling them, don't have turkey this Christmas have an old traditional goose instead. But that type of goose is not edible thought. But you could just imagine Del Boy Trotter getting involved in a scheme like that and not being very successful. Of course they will not have been completely plucked and Del makes Rodney do it and poor Rodders gets covered in feathers.0

The new breed of 'light entertainment' weather men,esp on the BBC. We just want to know whether it's going to rain or not. And then following the national forecast up with a regional forecast. We can work out where we live on the national map. In ITV's case, this is a good excuse to have two separate sponsors plus to inane presenters. Bring back Michael Fiiiiiish.0

Bloody 'audio devices' on trains, especially when ignorant t***s still use them in the 'Quiet Zone' when I am trying to kip! The inane, tinny drone is infuriating! No one else wants to listen to your droll 'snap ducky duck' or 'gangster crap'; it's just unnecessary showing off - 'oh look at me, my phone's louder than your phone' b*****! Don't just have a quiet carriage, ban them completely. Read a good paperback or gaze at the beautiful British countryside as you travel; but audio devices - shove em where the sun don't shine!
And while I am at it!! Who the feck decided that popcorn and nachos would be a good thing to sell at the cinema? Do me a favour please! The gluttonous movie goer tucking into the biggest ever box of the stuff whilst watching a movie is one of the most irritating things ever! So leave your popcorn and nachos alone and go in with a box of haribo and marshmallows instead! Selfish, noisy gits!
Have a good weekend.6 -

Oh jeez, with you on that one massively and I'll add sitting there with the missus trying to watch a bit of mindless tele when up pops the mental diary of what you need to do tomorrow at work or stressing about what you couldn't do that day.

Work in general, particularly the business world. People that revel in saying they've got client meetings, they are on a conference call or on client site. Some bollocks like that. There's too much snobbishness in business, people like Alan Sugar and the apprentice are to blame. Good on the one hand to promote 'entrepreneurialism', but that in itself fucks me off sometimes. Suddenly everyone has to be an entrepreneur and think they are the next judge on Dragons Den. There's that silly Right Move advert that says 'this is your reward for juggling conference calls etc blah blah'. It basically feels like they're saying if you haven't achieved this in your life to date you are a nobody. I read an article on LinkedIn the other day about some high flyer who lost everything and re-built himself back up again, but first having to take a job washing cars and seeing some ex clients and friends and thinking he would feel embarrassed etc. Fair play to him for doing that, but it's the very fact that he initially felt embarrassed about what people might say seeing him work there. Why have we created this world where people feel that certain jobs are to be looked down on. Or people just immediately dismiss you because they think their job puts them on a higher level. As far as I'm concerned if you work hard, pay your taxes then you should be given just as much respect whatever you do. No, let's just continue promoting certain types of jobs as the be all and end allBournemouth Addick said:

'Postcode format is not valid for the UK'
