So, what news do you really not care about ?
Currently for me is this
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-23730480
I really don't give a fuck about you not getting some shitty, mass produced crap at Christmas. In the local paper 'outrageous' and 'disgusting' are bandied about as if they're cutting the pension.
There was some ex-worker twat wanking his nut about 'getting things in perspective' as it 'doesn't cost that much'. £210,000+ not much ? dickhead.
There are working families in this country who can barely feed themselves properly. They won't be buying chocolate, and probably presents and a turkey this Christmas because they just can't afford to and yet your bleating out and bemoaning the loss of some chocolate, well boo fucking hoo. Why not look at the real world and get some 'perspective'.
Being in Birmingham it is, of course, all over the local news.

I don't care for news about "celebrities".
Or in the letters page in newspapers etc. 'Jan Smith, mother of three' OK, so you've been fucked at least three times, why does that make your argument on council spending more important ?
Yet, they rarely say "father of x children".
Unless it's to criticise him as being some sort of criminal or something.
ie Burglar Bob Smith, a jobless father of 16 children by 16 different mothers had this to say in his defence
agreed!!!
Agreed.
The constant reporting of a story over and over again. (Bloodgate, Madeleine McCann's disappearance, etc) Anyone would think nothing else is going on sometimes.
There was a full page spread in the local newspaper about babies that were born on the same day as the royal baby. Annoyed the hell out of me.
Particularly as one of them read, Chantelle, 28, gave birth to her 5th child......i'm sure Kate & Will will be so pleased for her.
I don't know about anyone else; but if I was in the situation of having a miracle baby, I'd rather keep it private. It's nothing to do with the rest of the UK / world.
On that subject, and this might not be popular.....but i don't like it when murdered people become public property. I hate seeing facebook pages like "RIP Mrs X" with 90000 followers.
Grief should be private....something for family and friends to do.
If something horrible happened to a member of my family i would just want to be left alone. I wouldn't want to be a front page news story or have all sorts of strangers who never knew the family sending me well wishes.
I don't understand what is particular about Chantelle?
Like that makes it any more awful? Innocent people have died, it doesn't matter who they are.
this really annoys me too!
