Every time I see Caitlin Moran's photo she is pulling a funny face. I see the same terrible photo in the Times every weekend and have yet to see her anywhere trying to looking normal . Perhaps she has image issues who knows but I refuse to read anything she writes because it makes me so mad.

Laura Koenss-thingy, Steph McGovern and Huw Edwards - totally smug and slappable, all of them. Oh, and Ben Stiller.

It used to be Giles Brandreth, but (showing off now) eldest son and his wife were featured in a house swap programme directed by him and they said he was very pleasant to work with.
I think Katie Hopkins too - she has a slot on LBC now.

This is a really negative thread - shame on you Grannies.


But since you are asking, Katie Hopkins!!

What really gets up my nose? Fat shaming
In my opinion anyone who tries to fat shame another person with their cruel and thoughtless comments in judging another person for their weight actually shames themselves. So often the people making the comments know little, if anything, of the person that they are verbally abusing. The media often promote fat shaming comments in their articles and in doing so are promoting a form of bullying as people in general conversation think it's quite acceptable to do the same now.

Ant and Dec,can't understand the adoration.

Greyduster Tue 07-Mar-17 16:06:16

Agree John Humphreys wholeheartedly, plus Chris Packham.

That giles fellow and tops of all is John Humphrys [ Today prog.

Well past his sell by date.

Well Jeremy Hunt is way up at the top of my list. What a slappable man! Anyone (usually female I'm afraid) who shrieks a lot and makes a virtue of the fact that they don't know anything. And of course the hideous Katie Hopkins.

And three cheers for intolerance I say - social progress came about because brave and decent people wouldn't tolerate slavery, exploitation of children and women, slum housing, lack of health care, education, not having the right to vote - I could go on but I guess you get my drift. If you don't like intolerance, perhaps you'd like to define a bit more clearly what you mean by that?

I have to say top of my list is Donald Trump. I would also add Johnny Vegas, Keith Lemon and Katie Price. I am sure many more will come to mind later.

The OP said WHO not WHAT - that's a different thread if anyone would like to start it rather than being somewhat sanctimonious on this one ( which gets up my nose)

Nina I have heard Gyles Brandreth give two after-dinner speeches and met him once in a hotel lift on the way to breakfast, when he made a witty but not unkind remark about one of my friends.
His speeches were brilliantly funny and he had obviously done his homework well because they were apposite and very relevant to the group of people he was addressing.

Well said Ffinn

Jimmy Carr and his awful laugh.

Anniebach Tue 07-Mar-17 13:56:39

Yes people, they agree on everything just to be 'in'

Gwyneth Paltrow "concious uncoupling" [why cant she separate or divorce like anyone else] I dont find particularly endearing, but I will live with it! And her!

Azie09 Tue 07-Mar-17 13:48:50

I hate people who are bossy boots and who, in groups, are always the ones in charge who expect everyone else to meekly follow along!

BlueBelle Tue 07-Mar-17 13:38:54

Ronouchka me too ....who the heck is Caitlin Moran ?
Lots of people get on my proverbial anyone who dresses their dogs in fancy clothes and big ribbons and pearls takes them for walks in pushchairs and like a woman on Tv at lunchtime has 'big chandeliers in their summer house'.....DOGS ARE ANIMALS
Silly voices and anyone who is totally self absorbed ( so many now adays)
Woman who call everyonr Hun or babes
Anyone who is precious ' oh I couldn't touch that it might be dirty'
Grrr

Christinefrance Tue 07-Mar-17 13:34:45

Tim Wonnacott, why is he on nearly all antique programmes.

Maranta Tue 07-Mar-17 13:33:30

Rinouchka Tue 07-Mar-17 13:26:12

ninathenana Tue 07-Mar-17 13:22:32

What gets up my nose, people who live in the past instead of accepting today.

ffinnochio Tue 07-Mar-17 12:25:35

WHAT really gets up my nose is intolerance.
