You know there’s a LOT of things that piss me off when I watch the news on TV these days.
One of these things would have to be the handshaking that politicians do. They just walk into a room and shake the persons hand; now there’s nothing wrong with that but when they shake the person’s hand they only make eye contact with each other for a split second before looking directly at the camera and smiling their fake smiles all the while still shaking each others hands.
It just gets on my nerves really and it just feels to me that when you turn a handshake into a photo op it really doesn’t mean a thing, especially when you’re not even looking at who you’re shaking hands with, I mean I KNOW who is doing the shaking! They don’t need to look at the bloody camera to show who they are! What, do they think that we’d have no clue who Gordon Brown is if we only saw his face from the side? GAWD! Shake like you mean it you nut jobs!
This isn’t strictly from TV news but is one word that I absolutely LOATH and that word is ‘Passion’!
That word REALLY pisses me off these days, it feels like it’s the only word that these people on antiques shows and the like use to describe liking something.
‘Oh yes writing is my passion’ or ‘My passion is cooking!’
SERIOUSLY, use another word!
Just try it for yourselves people of England, see how many times you hear the word passion in a day, especially on the BBC channels and you’d be surprised.
Also Antique shows stop using the word ‘Quality’! Try another word!

I'm always rather ammused by those handshakes, the sideways on, head looking towards the camera and head-held-high poses of the Victorian Gent :) I remember doing that quite a lot at the Foundation year and A levels...
my passion is passionfruit...
