People who spit in public, and those who say that "it's just part of culture".

Well having been to China a fair few times that's one for you. Mostly the older generation.

Some Asian cultures certainly have no qualms about hocking and gobbling, yet get disgusted by the sight of a barefoot. 

 

Culture innit, would be boring if we all thought, felt and acted the same.

Especially those that can't accept any criticism of the monarchy and that people have a right to express anti monarchy views.

Monarchies are hardly the only group out there with seemingly unaccountable power.

 

But they are one of them. Which can be a problem.

I take a lot more issue with Bishops and so on in the house of lords.  Iran being the only other significant country who give god botherers automatic legislative power.

Of course they do, but do they have to go on and on about it?

Have you ever been in the main section of this forum?

The US gives them de facto if not automatic legislative power too, which in effect amounts to the same thing.

 

In any case, it's all part of the same problem for me - unaccountable, often inherited, power.

Sports media banging in about how great Brighton are.

I actually don’t mind that as the alternative is even more coverage of the usual 6 plus Newcastle 

 

We had loads of media coverage during our time in the sun and I find it hard to begrudge supporters of clubs like ours the similar pleasure of positive media attention.

Well, then there is an argument to say that you're wise in that case.

When a podcast spends 10 minutes advertising what they're going to talk about in the podcast instead of just getting on with it

That's just what happens when everything has to be advertised, because everything has to be monetised, because apparently there's no better system, because...I don't know, reasons?

Gym influencers claiming to be natural and trying to sell programmes etc based off of their doping gains. 

I have so much more respect for those who are completely transparent on having taken things in the past but continue to spread good advice to people training

The current overuse of the word 'baffling'.

 

It's perplexing.
