Worst of 2006

1. Iraq - Didn't really turn out like you planned, did it Georgie? Or as the militias like to say, when the world gives you lemons, make IED's.

2. R.I.P. John Spence - Leo McGarry is no more. The world is poorer for it.

3. Mal Michael, Ashley Cole - Sports people as massive, money hungry wankers - who would have guessed it?

4. England at the World Cup - I wanted to bask in the residual glory. They had a great team, however, I overlooked their Achilles heel, their unsurpassable 'Englishness'.

5. Darfur - Where's a pre-emptive strike when you need one?

6. Hoodies playing tinny sounding grime on their mobile phone speakers - Not only is it obnoxious, but why do you feel the need to broadcast the fact that you have no taste?

7. The Whale - We got there twenty minutes late and it was already on its way towards an Essex death.

8. Celebrity - Especially those 'famous for just being famous' mannequins.

9. My old job - No seriously I did want to work an extra thirty hours a month for £50.

10. Not being able to eat at good restaurants.
