I Just Hate The General Public, Alan Partridge Quote T-Shirt

Product Information

As I read Polly Toynbee’s article on the government’s intention to end the BBC’s licence fee ( The BBC must defend itself with all its might against this mortal threat, 16 January), I felt a sense of despair rarely experienced in my 70-plus years on this earth. Once again, this government is continuing along the path taken by so many corrupt and failing states by taking away yet another fundamental pillar that helps create a strong democratic society – access to a fair, independent and balanced news media prepared to inform, educate and challenge. What should the BBC do next? Take the threat seriously – how? Play for the highest stakes possible. Namely, it should call the government’s bluff by mothballing its ridiculous “editorial balance” principle and start exposing, via a variety of genres, how the Tories have worked tirelessly to destroy the UK’s democratic institutions, one by one, in pursuit of the alignment of the country’s fortunes to the wilder shores of US republicanism.

The Tories loathe the BBC and they have always wanted to get rid of it. Abolishing the licence fee will achieve that. The BBC is not a streaming service. All the big platforms do one thing only, and often do it well. But they have no obligations to provide factual news, research, or programmes that examine in detail social issues, eg File on 4. Kids like to go to the zoo but the beasts I like to look at are made of zinc galvanised steel - they're cars.

Prioritize self-care: It’s important to prioritize your needs and take care of yourself. For instance, if you are stressed out, you may need to make changes to your life to better cope. Or, if you are an introvert, you may need to set boundaries that help make you more comfortable. It does take A LOT of energy to fake it, though. It really burns me out.. but, it's all I know and, of course, the money. Two fat ladies, 88! Not that you'd find these ladies at a bingo hall, of course... they're altogether a higher class of fat lady.

That was Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, a song in which Joni complains they 'Paved paradise to put up a parking lot', a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn't quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song. The older I get the more I notice how "common sense is not that common". It's impacts day to day life. How many people have no problem with stopping in the middle of the street to take a picture or to say hi to someone, or to cross a street without looking, or push a door that clearly says pull. How many people have no sense of spacial awareness whatsoever. I spend an embarrassing amount of my day just being bewildered at the complete stupidity of the general public. I travel a lot and it doesn't change depending on the city or country I am in, most people are completely oblivious about how to act in public. So many people cannot take social cues like when someone isn't listening to their story, or not to talk to someone if they have headphones in. Or people who just completely cannot comprehend that they made in fact be wrong, because everyone else around them must be wrong. I have so many examples and so little space. If you hate people too you'll have your own examples. Yes, I do meet people who I actually enjoy talking to and I have a few regulars who I just adore(even if they tip for shit, I just like that they enjoy my company). I also love taking the "difficult" customers that nobody likes to serve. I like being able to win them over(which I almost always succeed at..how? I have no idea). I think I like the challenge of having to figure out what they need to hear and how they think a waitress should act towards them. It's weird... I'm weird.

Social anxiety: Social anxiety can make it difficult for you to interact with people and lead to emotions like nervousness, fear, embarrassment, and distress. In some cases, people with social anxiety may even react to situations that make them uncomfortable with anger and hatred. You join us live at the Berlin Olympics on "Grandstand" in 1936 on this pleasant summer morning in Nazi Germany. Everyone's here. Hitler's in his box, Jesse Owens just waved to him. He doesn't like that. Avoid all-or-nothing thinking: If your hatred toward others is rooted in a disagreement with them about a specific issue, try to remember that you can disagree–and even be angry–with others without hating them. Just because you strongly disagree with someone else’s beliefs or behavior does not mean that person is all bad. This type of thinking is called all or nothing thinking, and it is irrational. Remind yourself that your feelings of hate are about the issue, not the person. But not too informal; it's not Nigel Pinsent's "In Depth", but neither is it Wally Banter's Junk-Box

I am a really good server. I've been working in restaurants for almost 20 years(FoH and BoH, kitchen manager and bartending). I have bad anxiety, I'm very socially awkward and am an introverted person when I'm outside of my comfort zone(being forced to be social). I also absolutely hate the public.

MFB: I just can't believe this. I have NEVER stayed at a hotel where they wouldn't tell you the room number but told you to just LOOK instead. Introverted personality: While some people tend to be outgoing and gregarious, others prefer to keep to themselves. If you’re an introvert, socializing with people outside your immediate circle can be emotionally draining. Sometimes, this can lead to agitation and hatred of people and situations outside your comfort zone. I realised I had nothing to worry about. The man was a perfect gentleman. But if you told me 25 years ago that I would be talking about rigid inflatable hulls with Dale Winton I would probably have spat at you. Okay, so you're on the second floor, elevator is around behind me, and breakfast will be over there from 6-10 in the morning."

Could someone clear that shit away, please? It's just, it's in my picture. People may associate it with me. The BBC, with all its faults and failings, is one of this country’s glittering achievements – respected and valued worldwide. If we allow its voice to be diminished, the standing and reputation of this country will itself be greatly diminished. If the licence fee goes, the BBC will be reduced to a rump broadcaster on the lines of public broadcasting in the US. Every month, all radio and TV stations will spend several days asking for donations to keep going. Radio 3 and Radio 4 will disappear as functioning entities. Radio 2 might just about survive. Local radio will disappear, with the possible exception in extremely large cities. I would've taken it off sooner but I was having a fascinating conversation with the proud father of Norfolk's most sun-tanned child. Just passed his details on to the Social Services.Later we'll be taking dedications for anyone wrongly turned down for planning permission. Also, I'll be asking: Which is the worst monger? Fish, iron, rumour or war? Throughout the questions I will be remaining impartial at all times. I will remain Pontius Partridge. I explain about incidentals and assure her the room HAS been paid for. She starts digging for a card.
