Lowri bloody turner. I just can't stand her. Her face, her voice, her opinions. Just get off my tv.

Who do you have an irrational or perfectly rational hatred for?

Ally McCoist has shagged everything that moves and often not in a particularly nice fashion. Nasty, nasty man.

What's with the HFW jizzing story because I've already heard that and not in conjunction with a MNer please don't let it be an urban myth

I was totally with all the Stella McCartney until that time at the Olympics where Paul nobber started to sing la la laaala and she was mortified to the point of expiration. I have therefore decided to cut her some slack.

Ally McCoist used to be cute-ish now he just looks like an Arctic lighthouse keeper.

Simon Cow-el

Heartbrokenmum73 · 11/06/2013 17:27

Your trousers are too high and everybody prefers Cher-el!

It annoyed me that they named their son Lennon. If you admire John Lennon, what's wrong with John?

Lennon just screams: 'Look at me and my record collection that millions of other people have.'

A subtler way of boasting about your music credentials would be to call your child Thelonius or Django.

I know someone who called his white, middle class son Django. I also found something in a record shop filed under The Lonious Monk.

Oh God I have a very long list

Stephen mulhurn, raspy voiceover woman on masterchef,Claudia off SCD and Bruce Forsyth who both annoy me to the point where I record the programme and fast forward through their parts. Sunitta who has done nothing for years but follow Simon Cowell around in the hope of being caught on camera. Jessie J who is one of the biggest attention whores on tv, I haven't let DD watch The Voice because I really can't stand her she makes me so angry.
I could go on ....

Lulu. I don't know why but she makes me angry! And Claire Sweeney is infinitely irritating

Heartbrokenmum73 · 11/06/2013 17:48

Mrs D - I have no issue with people naming their kids stuff like that (loving yours ALL a musical name - wow!). My issue with Liam n Patsy doing it is that both Liam and Noel have always been so 'we're nothing like The Beeeeeatles, our music is completely unique/original, don't compare us to them, we're bigger than everything/everyone ever', then Liam names his fecking son Lennon. No influence on you then, eh Liam?

limitedperiodonly · 11/06/2013 18:08

People have opinions MrsD. It's not only allowed but it's healthy.

And as you've contributed to this thread about things that you think are stupid that slebs you don't like do, I guess you judge as much as me, or perhaps a little less.

Anyway, from your posts, I suspect we'd agree on more things than we'd differ. But if I've offended you, then I'm sorry.

And I'd like to make it very clear that though a child's name, or branded sweatshirt might not be to my taste, I'd never dislike them for something their parent had decided to do, or that they'd grown up up and thought: 'I'm going to stick with that, because that's what my mum thought, and I love and respect her.'

Because that's not a million miles away from any decent person's thinking.

LadyBeagleEyes · 11/06/2013 18:11

I love your kid's names MrsDV.
Especially Marley.

ChouetteMouette · 11/06/2013 18:13

The current top two:

Tracey Emin.
David Starkey.

Littleballofhate · 11/06/2013 18:20

Kanye, mostly definetly, KANYE. The man always looks as if someone just farted on him.

laughinggravy · 11/06/2013 18:21

Jennifer Saunders - smug and not funny
Bruce Forsyth - creepy
Paul McCartney - annoying
Carol Vorderman - the horror, the horror
Cheryl Cole - not fucking worth it
Amanda Holden - plastic-faced irritant

Jenny Faulkner.

Agreed mrsD.

I can be very PO sometimes Wink

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 11/06/2013 18:39

PS Catherine Tate. Although mercifully she doesn't seem to be darkening our screens/stages/newspapers much at the moment.

vixsatis · 11/06/2013 18:54

Anyone without a surname (Bono, Rihanna etc)
All TV chefs (esp Jamie Oliver)
All professional cyclists
All professional tennis players

That awful smug male doctor on "Embarrassing Bodies" and various programmes about losing weight/ stopping smoking/ becoming as perfect as he.

LeGavrOrf · 11/06/2013 18:54

Catherine Tate I think saw herself as an actress of Vivien Leigh standards I think.

LeGavrOrf · 11/06/2013 18:54

I think in stereo

Lovecat · 11/06/2013 19:19

It's not irrational to hate Katherine Jenkins or Myleeeeeeeeeeene.

However, Tania Bryer. Thankfully she's sodded off to America but her insipid, sheeplike face and her bleating voice made me shout rude things at the telly throughout the 90's.

Utterly, utterly irrational - I'm sure she's really lovely in real life - but I actually have a physical reaction of revulsion at the mere sight of her. No idea why.

PipkinsPal · 11/06/2013 19:27

Paul McCartney, just go away and take your two fingered peace sign with you. Ant & Dec doubly annoying and pointless. Phil Tuffnell what a twat. The fat lady that is still alive, Clarrissa double barrel name everything about her especially her love of blood sports hunting. Mark Watson & Mickey Flanagan "comedians". Will Self, has white spittle at the corners of his mouth when he starts spouting his rubbish. I'm sure there are many more, may come back later.

Heartbrokenmum73 · 11/06/2013 19:35

Pipkins Shock - you can't talk about Ant & Dec like that!

'Tuffers' I will give you. Cock womble of the highest order. And while we're on cricketers - ladies, I present, Shane Ward. Sure, Shane, we believe you (and Liz), you always looked like that!

Mr tumble

Jesus I wouldn't let him near my kids
