Billy Connelly - 13 Things I Hate About People


  1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.
    I know where my watch is pal, where the f*ck is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?
  2. People who are willing to get off their arse to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.
  3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too".
    F*cking right! What good is a cake if you can't eat it?
  4. When people say "it's always the last place you look".
    Of course it is. Why the f*ck would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?
  5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?".
    No tosser, I paid 10 quid to come to the cinema and stare at the f*cking floor.
  6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?
    Didn't really give me a choice there, did you sunshine?
  7. When something is 'new and improved!'
    Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.
  8. When people say "life is short".
    What the f*ck?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever f*cking does!! What can you do that's longer?
  9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks, "Has the bus come yet? If the bus came would I be standing here, Knob head?
  10. People who say things like 'My eyes aren't what they used to be'.
    So what did they used to be? Ear’s? Wellington boots?
  11. When you're eating something and someone asks 'Is that nice?'
    No it's really revolting - I always eat stuff I hate.
  12. People who announce they are going to the toilet.
    Thanks that's an image I really didn't need.
  13. McDonalds staff who pretend they don't understand you if you don't insert the 'Mc' before the item you are ordering.
    It has to be a McChicken burger, just a Chicken Burger gets blank looks.
    Well I'll have a McStraw and jam it in your McEyes you f*cking McTosser.

Swanky Dresser Or Fashion Clown?

Men's dress clothing options continue to explode. Fabrics, colors, fit, layers, accessories all come together to create a "look." Because the brain pays SO much attention to visual information, you need to make sure your style in men's dress clothing makes the statement you want to convey.

Some pointers:
1. Know who you are. Look, no one respects a poser. You can get away with a little bit of fantasy, or wannabe, in fact it's nice to stretch. However tempted you might be, though, keep yourself honest. For instance, if you're slightly built, stay away from the lumberjack look. If you take the kids to school in a minivan, Dog the Bounty Hunter is off-limits until Halloween. Got it?

2. Be comfortable in your own skin. A corollary of know who you are, being comfortable in your own skin means not denying your current dimensions. If you're 5'8" and have a 36 inch waist, it just IS, at least for right now. If this is you, do not wear trim-fit shirts or size 34 pants - others will likely not appreciate that it inspires you to think about exercising.

3. Keep it appropriate. Men's dress clothing options now run the gamut on the runway, but most of us live on Main Street. It doesn't matter if you have the legs for the short shorts under suit coat showing in Milan, DON'T!

4. DO have a little fun. Okay, permission for JUST ONE, really fun piece - trendy, bright, studded, whatever suits your fancy and puts a smile on your face whenever you wear it. Just keep it subdued, it should be remembered as a glimpse. If people are gawking and have involuntarily glued their eyes to this addition, well, there's your sign, you have crossed from tasteful to ridiculous.

We live in a world cursed and blessed by way too many options, now, even in the world of men's dress clothing. Be thoughtful when you put your look together, you know the definition of "pioneers," don't you? They're the ones with the arrows in their back...

An NFL Ticket Broker Means No Hassles

When fall nips the air, a young man's fancies often turns to thoughts of the gridiron, tailgate parties - and of course, NFL football tickets. The problem is that obtaining great NFL game tickets is often a hassle, involving travel, fighting crowds and traffic at times during which you could be doing something else.

More Than Just Tickets

An NFL ticket broker usually operates a secure website, meaning (A) you can buy with confidence, using a major credit or debit card or a payment service such as PayPal, and (B) it's easy to get NFL game tickets for games anywhere in the country. Planning a fall vacation to New England? Plan ahead and take in a Patriots game! It's easy when you buy them online through a qualified ticket broker. By the way, you can also get NFL season tickets through an online broker as well.

A reputable NFL ticket broker lists prices clearly for all tickets to sporting events as well as the number of available tickets. Typically, you will use an online shopping cart feature and pay though a secure encrypted system (the website should mention this).

In addition to NFL tickets for sale, online ticket brokers also have maps of the various stadiums that display where the best and the most economical seats are located. You won't have to worry about unpleasant and unexpected surprises, either; there are no hidden fees and a reputable NFL ticket broker will guarantee that you receive your tickets well in advance of the event.

NFL Season Tickets and More

Stylish Fashionable Clothes For Men

Do you want to be clued in to the latest in men's fashion, from styles to colors and designs and patterns? Do you want to be in the know when it comes to the fall/winter, spring/summer collections by the most well know designers out there?

These trends are here today, gone tomorrow, but with a little work, you can develop a taste for coming up with simply brilliant combinations of men's clothing during each season, by mixing the best colors, styles and patterns and matching them. Also, knowing the designers and their styles will help you choose the best tailoring designs and clothing straight off the racks.

Here are some Points Follow:

- Before doing anything, ask yourself how often you wear these suits. If you wear them often enough, then its best to have many sets of suits so you can wear the one you like best on a given occasion.

- This leads to suit rotation in every week. Also, it is important that you keep in mind that every suit needs at least a day off after being worn to keep it from wearing out too quickly.

- There are two sides to everything as always. Having a lot of suits will give you the benefit of being able to choose the one you like best on a particular day and try out amazing combinations of dresses and styles and colors. On the other hand, a limited number of suits would be suitable for those with a more traditional and classic bent of mind.

- Men's suits should be worn and bought depending on two factors: how well they go with your lifestyle and how often you'll wear them.

- For instance, if you're going to go to an evening function, then its best to go for darker shades and not lighter ones. Some good dark shades for this sort of occasion include navy blue and charcoal gray. This is only in case you're buying suits for attending functions and the like.

- Men's dress shirts can really change the entire look of the man wearing it for the better, or enhance his already great personality and looks. The right colors and styles will see to it that the man's build and body structure is complemented and his face seems all the more attractive. Also the duller suits look better with the right kind of shirt on.

- There is a wrong notion that men's dress shirts are all the same or similar in their looks. The only people who say this are the ones who do not pay adequate attention to the details on the shirts. This way, they are never sure as to whether the shirt is of a fine quality or a style that sets it apart from the other run of the mill material.

- But the truth is the dress shirts do not have to be so dull and similar in looks and style and of course, colors. Through inventive techniques of coupling together the right fabrics and patterns along with titillating colors, you could have a winner of a shirt in your hands, complete with detailed collars, buttons and cuffs.

Detailing will see to it that your shirt stands out from the rest and that you will spot the best ones in both off rack and bespoke shirts. Tailor-made shirts can be more fun, because there is no end to how much you can customize and come up with brand new styles. The funny aspect of wearing the same shirt is no shirt will feel and look identical on two different men. Because the build of the body, as well as the personality, all see to it that the men stand apart and look good in their own rights. It's important to remember to try out different styles, different combinations and see which ones work for you. A clean well pressed shirt is almost always a winner from the get go. And if the wearer is a businessman, then business dress apparels replete with a tight, firm make and a soft fabric reflects the business man's corporate status and attitude brilliantly.
