The View from the Bar "Bastards List"

Over the years, I've been compilling what I've reffered to as a "Bastards List". This is a list of all the people or organisations that have irritated me, annoyed me, inconvienienced me or basically, people who have pissed me off.
I now feel that it's time to publish the said list but a warning to you all out there: Just because I'm publishing it now, doesn't mean you are safe! I'll be adding to this, as well as give it a prime place in this blog, so don't let your guard down for a second!

Michael's "Bastard" list:

• West Yorkshire Safety Camera Partnership: For existing.

• Sony: For putting bespoke parts on their products and making my job harder as I have to explain to their customers why I can't get them a new part for their fucking camcorder.
  

• Kwik-Fit: £300 for a Cat converter? It's a Citroen, not a frigging Bentley! I'll go to Motosave instead.
  

• Leeds City Council: They know why.
  

• Royal Mail: For being useless.

• Parcel Force: For being part of Royal Mail.
  

• DHL: See Royal Mail. Oh, and for leaving £300 worth of electrical goods unattended on the front door step.
  

• Trinity & All Saints College: Incompetance personified.
  

• The Labour Party: "Education, Education, Education." = Tuition fees, top-up fees and deliberate A-Level grade fixing.

• The Highways Agency: Oh, I know, lets dig another hole in the road!
  

• Alistair Darling: Supertram, or lack of it.

• Cat owners
  

• Amber Taxi's: For leaving me waiting in the freezing cold in Headingley from 12:15am till 1:45am.

• First Buses: Apparently, they run buses in Leeds.

• First Trains: Apparently, they run trains.

• Middle Lane Drivers: Move to the left, arsehole!
  

• BMW: For making the 3-series

• Endemol: The makers of Big Brother.

• Northern Rail: Because the train didn't turn up when it should have done.

• National Rail: For telling me that the above train did turn up, even though it didn't.
