Management Consultants - I seem to spend so much of my time justifying what we do rather than just doing it, My Senior Management seem to get an extreme amount of joy watching me go into battle with them.
Ex-pats who long for home - So just go home, stop boring us with how good it is!! ALL countries are included.
The Daily Show - It's now had its time but you have to watch it as every now and again there is a pearl of a programme.
Hypocrisy - Have some values and stick with them - don't change as the wind blows.
Her Majesty's Tax Office - How difficult can it be to understand through the written word and phone conversations that I don't need to pay PAYE as I have not lived in the country for 11 years, yet still get the bills, right on queue every 6 months!!
Financial sheisters and politicians - If anything, since the Financial crisis they've become even more powerful and less accountable - How can it be right that UK institutions are allowed to try to bring the Danish Govt out of the Euro peg simply in the hope that they can grab a quick 20% return? Should it happen, thousands of jobs would be lost overnight.
My usual cocktail barman - Continues to chastise me for my insistence on using Hendricks in my Bramble cocktail telling me I'm a Philistine
My children - Why must they insist on eating their meat with no fat - especially when their favourite food is Confit de Canard and Rib Eye!!
Myself - Always, and I mean always leaving everything to the last minute, promising more than is ever possible to deliver, my team hates me for it, achieving 50% more than any other team but always being seen to fall short due to my oversell!
Here's a good example - Was prompting myself not to mention Barton the Count and Fernandes the Dick - but I just had to didn't I!!
