People Who Are Currently Boring Me To Tears
I have compiled a list of people who are currently boring me to tears – together with occasional notes as to why, where appropriate. If you have other names to add please do!
1. BONO. Stick to music mate because you completely lack credibility.
2. SCOTT CAM. That whole “tradie schtick” went out with Barry McKenzie 40 years ago. You beauty cobber!
3. THE DALAI LAMA. Who cares what you have to say? You have changed absolutely nothing.
4. FORMER GREENS LEADER AND FORMER SENATOR BOB BROWN. Petitioned the State Government here in Tasmania to actively pursue investment from Wind Farm operators to commence operations here to reduce the impact of fossil fuel generation then when one was ear-marked for construction next to his property he sued the government in the Development Tribunal to stop it. Wanker.
5. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. Who cares what the stupid American has to say is anyone really surprised?
6. THE BUBBLE HEADED BIMBO RECEPTIONIST ON THE TOYOTA ADS.
7. MICHAELIA CASH. Looks like a model, sounds like a wharfie.
8. BEN QUILTY. So boring to listen to he drones on and on and on. Defender of convicted drug dealers.
9. ALAN JONES. For someone who attacks practically everyone else in the name of ratings how is it no one mentions the two times he received convictions for giving guys blow jobs in public toilets? If he were after me on the radio I’d be bringing it up every 5 minutes.
10. STEVE SMITH AND DAVID WARNER. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.Over to you girls…….

The woman from the Trivago Ads… extremely annoying

Dear Emma
Thats a daunting list to top and several of them would be on my own list but in the interest of adding a few new ones…here goes … Ill keep my list Locally based as there are plenty to choose from.
1. TONY ABBOTT
Nothing is worse than the smell of a stale politician and this one also thinks his time in government was “Remarkably Unappreciated” !!!2. KARL STEFANOVIC
A self made narcissist of the first order and Holy Smoke ….he is getting his job back on the Today show.3.ANTHONY ALBANESE
A Politician whose Charisma is on the same low level as that of Scott Morrison4. GEORGE PELL
I’d like to see all of the money that has gone into his defence being given to Struggling Farmers5.ANDREW BOLT
For his incendiary views on just about everything6. PETA CREDLIN
Who thinks she is a Female version of Macchiavelli7. BILL SHORTEN
who thinks he can contribute more to Parliament over the next 20 years… Really ???8. RAY HADLEE
Another radio Shock Jock like Mr Jones who thinks his views on everything is of vital importance to his audience.9. MARGARET COURT
Yet another religious fanatic incapable of accepting diversityAnd last but not least..
10. BARNABY “JOKE “JOYCE
For the most obvious failures in political achievement over the last 5 yearsROFL!!!

A great topic and great responses but I wish they were boring me to tears. Not giving a very bad case of the irrits.
I’d like to add Clive Palmer, who makes Queensland politicians seem sane and not half as dangerous. And that is a list too long to explore. Actually just add Queensland.
And let’s not forget Tasmania. You may have doubled the state average IQ Emma but let’s not be parochial; Jackie Lambie, Erica Betz who rules the state Liberal party with an iron fist of self interest and right wing zealotry and the crazy Christian Michael Ferguson who oversaw the last stages of the destruction of the hospital system in the Apple Isle.
I better give up to control my blood pressure
-
Yes!!!!!!! The girl from the Trivago ads. Smug cow!
-
Some really good ones there (as well as some that I don’t quite agree with). Add whoever runs channels 7 and 9 who keep giving numpties like the shock jocks, Pauline Hanson, Karl Stefanovic, the weathermen and sports guys air time to expound their shallow and ill considered political and social views. What qualifications can they possibly have? Or could it conceivably be that there is a hidden agenda here? Rinse my mouth out with soapy water! Oh and also add Brenton Speed who gets the job for every football match commentary going (for every code!).
-
OMG how on earth could I have forgotten that incredibly moronic and irritating Andrew Bolt AND the girl with the Marlo Thomas “That Girl!” hairstyle from the Trivago ads!
Mind you, as is shown above by our intelligent contributors, it is a highly competitive field of bores to choose from. I realise including the Dalai Lama in my list is highly controversial but I had him in an original list with: any member of the Windsor aka Mountbatten aka Battenburg family (with particular note of Prince Andrew, Princess Edward, and the Duke of Edinburgh); serial rapist and occasional maker of a reasonable movie Roman Polanski; former Archbishop of Sydney and now registered kiddy fiddler George Pell (well done Caroline for including him in yours); and Eddie “Mill-yon-air” McGuire. You’d think that if you picked a host for a show called “Millionaire Hot Seat” they’d at least be able to pronounce it or am I being too harsh?
-
Well done Ladies, I have to agree with almost every nominee . . .
Except, maybe the Dalai Lama, he has never hurt or promoted hurt to anyone that I am aware of and his utterances are far less annoying than those of the Pope.So I should nominate the Pope of Pedophiles, along with the most annoying voice on radio and television, the guy who has convinced me, to never in my lifetime, walk through the doors of National Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiles.
-
I’ve had a Bex and a good lie down and feeling much better now thanks. I think I missed the bit about boring and headed for annoying instead. I’m so pleased that you girls have your frustrations in check so that you find some of these horrible people uninteresting.
Some truly great bores had been outed here. Emma Quiet Australians everywhere applaud you for nominating Scott Cam. And most sportspeople are by definition self obsessed and boring. The way they talk would put an economist to sleep. You’ll find Eddie Maguire referenced in the Macquarie Dictionary in the entry for boring.
Caroline your list is truly inspired. Nothing to add to your brilliance other than suggest Lawrence Mooney’s evaluation of Barnaby Drudge – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGGhOF46HPI
I do hope that the face of Trivago changes sometime before she, or me, reaches the retirement home. As yet there is no sign of relief here.
Emma darling can I respectfully suggest that putting poor little Sonny Bono on the top of your list is cruel. I do think he has passed on. And surely if we can believe en masse in reality TV then the divine right of the English Royal Family and their heirs to rule in perpetuity is a no brainer, or at least doesn’t need much of one.
Can I added just a couple:
ALEXANDR ORLOV (and Sergei) – they started with a simple joke, compare the meerkat, but the joke stayed and these animated meerkats wore out their welcome.
MICHAEL PORTILLO – is following the brightly coloured fop and popinjay on trains ever going to end? Please tell me that public transport in Australia has been spared.
THE TRIPE MARKETING BOARD – it is British too so that helps. https://tripemarketingboard.co.uk/about-us.php
Not a person but an abstraction bigger than a country:-
BREXIT – I shall be very happy when this word is forgotten.
-
I suspect Emma was referring to Paul Hewson aka Bono and lead singer of U2 not that charming guy who was married to Cher.
-
Correct Caroline…and wouldn’t we ALL love to marry Cher! I can certainly relate to someone with very limited talent becoming a minor “celebrity”.
I may instigate an Emma Thorne Bore Of The Year Award, not dissimilar to the Nobel Peace Prize, or the Gold Logie, for the person who stupifies me most each year. Scott Cam certainly has the inside running at the moment but don’t rule out perennial bore David Koch beating him at the post due to his regular coma inducing performances at Carol’s In The Domain.
-
At the risk of being dispatched to the ‘Tower’ and possibly sentenced to being beheaded for such a treasonabe statement; ‘The Merry Wives Of Windsor’. Still their anttics keep the ‘Women’s Weekly’ thriving. Oh! not forgetting Brexit. I’m a little more than surprised Britain has not been invaded by their European neighbours perhaps knocking some seemingly lacking common sense into their lack lustre brains.
-
I’m not sure there is anything in Great Britain worth invading them for these days Liz?
-
You’re absolutely right Emma. Bye the way, I think the ‘Great’ has been dropped, if it aint’, it ought to be.
-
The Project Team on Channel Ten-lost all credibility promoting the Melbourne Cup after the ABC report on Horse Breeders
So over Annabelle Crabb -
Oh dear yes, I had forgotten (wiped from my memory) the omnipresent Annabelle. Stephen Fry has stepped back from being the talking head de jour on ABC TV, which is a welcome relief.
I must say that their parents must be very proud of the Koch boys. Herman and Christopher are very good scribblers. But David (the little Koch) is a boring little tit. I’m not familiar with the breadth of his oeuvre but the little I have seen is mind numbing.
Scott Cam still gets my vote, if only by a short head from the flaccid Koch.
