5 Depressing things about 2011

Here is a list of 5 of some of the  things that depressed me in 2011 to a lesser or greater degree.
I need to write them down and get them out of my head so I can start afresh for 2012.

Not in any particular order of importance or anything:

  1. The Pope. Those threatening pronouncements about giving up reason and getting on with faith, otherwise I will face eternal damnation. Such an unpleasant mammal.
  2. Cold Play and U2. They have to be two of the worlds most horrible bands with their insipid forgettable melodies. People throw up that old argument about how popular they are. As if popular means something is good. What a horrible idea.
  3. Price of petrol. There was some oil crisis earlier in  the year. I don’t hear anymore about that now but the price is still high. WTF?
  4. Amateur musicians getting gigs where the money doesn’t really matter to them. Working for crap money. They have a day job. What if I came and worked in your industry and did it for laughs and beer vouchers? Yeah, I’ll just pull your teeth for a pint ?
  5. Price of mobile phone plans? WTF? it’s just bits and bytes? What cost? Are the telco companies still paying off the price of their towers?

There is more to be added to this list. I’ll get to them before January 1. Leave your own list in the comments box.
