In the spirit of finding things to do I thought it might be about time those of us with curmudgeonly tendencies had a thread. There are plenty of examples on PFM but often the perfectly rational, curmudgeonly response to a topic is disparaged in some way. Earlier on today I noticed a reasonable response to the subject of the Pet Shop Boys - 'I can't stand Pet Shop Boy's... I mean REALLY hate pretty much anything they have done... not too sure why...'. A perfect example of embryonic or latent curmudgeonliness.
The Pet Shop Boys comment, and I am sure they have their fans, makes an excellent start to Curmudgeon Corner. I will now add the Reverend Richard Coles, and I am sure he also has his fans. I love Radio 4 and have been listening to it most of my life but the Reverend Coles comes onto the radio at 9:00am on a Saturday morning with his slightly slimy and sycophantic interviews and he just puts my back up. How can such an apparently well meaning and mild mannered individual illicit such a reaction from me, I have no idea but there you go.
What sets off your inner curmudgeon?
