If renting DOESN'T make you bitter, what really DOES hack you off?

I only noticed it was made with unpasteurised milk after I'd eaten half of it.

Lack of pasteurisation didn't prevent my pregnant colleague wolfing down a whole baked Camembert about a month before she is due!! She said she didn't care. Rebellious behaviour.

I accept no liability for any foods you eat for hereon in based on the above story.

I get annoyed when people complain about people in the private sector making 'massive' profits, while the 'poor' public sector jobs disappear, while completely neglecting to comprehend the fact that if it was not for the private sector, britain would not have any wealth, public sector, nothing. I hate that our country is so short sighted that they would rather tax the 'rich' to the point where its hard for a private sector business to actually make money, thus reducing jobs in both the private sector and public sector.

I find it very frustrating that the majority of people in this country seem to support the idea of having a big public sector and government, even though this drives massive monopolies with no accountability, no competition and poor quality. I work with a lot of public sector workers and I find it incredibly frustrating when I hear them mutter the words "I don't have a background in this area but I'm learning as I go"... while being paid twice what I do even though they are completely incompetent and only landed the job because they are difficult to sack.

I find it irritating that the private sector funds both welfare and public sector, even though it is in most cases worse off then both, both in terms of perks and security. We are creating a culture in Britain where the the massive public sector has zero accountability (suspended with pay etc etc) and the welfare sector can actually be better off then people working.

I would prefer a society that protects the vulnerable, but not to the point where its financially viable to opt out of work completely (unless incapable), to create a system that rewards entrepreneurs and makes the public sector accountable in the same way that the private sector is.

Until then, I'll settle for a cap in housing benefit, so that I don't end up living next to someone who doesn't work and gets their house given for free. (Not that this will happen, given that 450 a week is much much more than I pay in mortgage).

Green Lemons. (or limes come to think of it)

Or the ultimate give someone a Seville Orange, that will make some one very bitter (funny trick also)

Sloes are even worse, they dry your whole mouth out, they are so bitter.

Until turned into the elixir of life - sloe gin!

Perhaps we should introduce voluntary Euthanasia for the under 60s. Because judging by what a lot of the younger posters are saying here. They obviously don’t want to get old and we should get a good take up and help the future pension problem.

I'm sure my moans are pretty typical of the young disenfranchised, but what else hacks you off?

- People that don't use headphones to play music from their mobile phones, instead subjecting us to their crappy tinny speakers. At least man up and get something that plays LOUD.
- Spitting
- Smug Gooners (you're bottom of the Fair Play League this season ya know)
- Aussies that can't handle losing (lest we forget)
- Forgetting to put sun cream on my face and then going out cycling in the sun for 8 hours :-(

I worked on a fruit and veg as a Saturday job up to the age of 18. Went in one morning 7:30 with a hang over and my boss gave me a piece of Seville orange.
It was like Tom and Jerry and Silica Gel.

I wouldn’t say that it makes me bitter but when driving it does annoy me when you let someone out in front of you and they can’t be bother to say thank you.

I've only ever tried them after my mother's turned them into wonderful marmalade.
