Gripe
I have a cold and feel like moaning - here´s some things that wind me up at the moment:
- Smug tossers that parade their ethnic gear like they´re the first to wear it.
- Tossers who don´t say hello to me, but then lick the boots of the Guatemalan walking behind me.
- Self-important gringos who correct my bad Spanish...I Know how bad it is thanks.
- People who treat me like I´m slow, just because of some nervous twitches and a propensity for inappropriate laughter when I´m nervous.
- Dogs - there are about 15 dogs within a hundred yards of our house that I´d like to see castrated - the buggers breed like.. rabbits?
- Bangers - who the fuck gets up at 5am to light a load of bangers - what possible purpose can it serve.
- Lippy kids - ok in fairness all the children I have encountered have been very polite, but there´s bound to be some little blighters that give me lip soon enough.
- Pseudo-hippy scumbags who come across like your long-lost brother and then ignore you when you propose working.
- Guatemalans who want to know how much you earn and what a restaurant meal would cost. I think by now we have established the economic disparity between CA and the west, but please go ahead and make me feel a little more guilty.

I would add: people who work in guitar shops.
"who the fuck gets up at 5am to light a load of bangers - what possible purpose can it serve."
I laughed heartily.
Agreed Karl! Guitar wankers the world over - I only know of one shop where the dudes running the place are friendly and well informed...however I may be somewhat biased....
Which shop? In Dublin?
Vintage and Rare - Denmark Street London - just ask for Zee...
