I bought a book the other day, "Talk to the Hand" by Lynne Truss, She's the
lady who also wrote "Eats, Shoots & Leaves". I bought it because it looked as
though it might be quite funny.
Anyway I got as far as page 5, where she is writing about pet hates - people
who chat in the cinema; young people who walk four abreast on the pavement
etc. - and she goes on to write -
" I now can't abide many, many things, and am actually always on the lookout
for more things to find completely unacceptable. Whenever I hear of someone
being 'gluten intolerant' or 'lactose intolerant', for example, I feel I've
been missing out. I want to be gluten intolerant too. I mean, how much longer
do we have to put up with that gluten crap?"
I was really irritated by that remark and just put the book away. I now have
no desire whatsoever to carry on reading it.
