Pissed Off

Australia has five million baby boomers. Seventy-one-year-old Michael Thornton is one of them. He is so pissed off about the state of things,

he's listed 3,300 gripes.

Among them:

• otherwise bright folk, from the PM down, who say 'amount' of people instead of 'number'
• Australia's richest person is said to earn $33,000 per minute
• being beaten at Scrabble by his Filipina mother-in-law, English being her second language
• leaf blowers
• lowlife who put needles in fruit to try and kill us
• greed
• when the pathology nurse says, with a deep sigh, 'Let's try your other arm!'
• Michelangelo didn't endow David a little more generously
• the link between his dentist's fees to extract his teeth, and the dentist's kids' school fees
• wanting to know if Dynamic Lifter works the same as Viagra
• asking for a friend
• the exorbitant cost of building Australia's major roads:$155 per inch per lane
• wanting cave rescuers Drs Richard Harris and Craig Challen as joint Governors-General
• will the in-studio panel on ABC TV Insiders ever drink the coffee?
• half a large pizza is never enough
• not knowing how to use most of the functions on his phone
• five-year-olds, who get away with murder
• after coronavirus, the millennials plan to do away with all remaining baby boomers
