    Fashion. Anything you get in penneys, you look awful, and pathetic.

    Landlords not accepting rent allowance. It should be treated as discrimination, and should be taken more seriously.

    Kids being on any public premises where alcohol is served.

    Exams. They're useless. Cramming 1-4 years of books for a 3 hour test? Waste of time and money. Assess every few months, like the LCA.
    And get the points system gone too. Just because someone isn't good at French or art and get "only" 300 points shouldn't mean that they can't do nursing (example).
    Less stress and pressure.

    Bank charges!!!!

    You want to ban fashion or bad clothes that are not fashionable?

    I wouldn't ban anything. I'd enact legislation that would force political representatives to wear clothes that displayed their benefactors, like this.

    Cruelty to animals.

    Or maybe just cruelty generally.

    I take your point, but I'd when you say "ban" Ed Sheeran and Hollister, I'd say "burn" em. Hipster crap. For men who like beards and talk about coffee.

    Three quarter length shorts. I would say celery but I can usually just not eat that and it doesn't bother me then.

    Isn't cycling on pavements banned in this country already?

    It is banned but at times you wouldn't think it was.

    Ok, if that's already banned then I'd ban domestic abuse. I've heard a few horrible stories from people close to me lately and it really disgusts me (as I imagine it does for any other sane, though I'm not sure how sane I am myself, person). Just dig a pit somewhere out in the country and through those who commit it into it (and I include women as well as men, both are as disgusting as each other).

    Sorry about that rant.

    I'd ban Norn Iron people from using the words "situation" and "community" or communiddy.
    Any sporting jerseys, if you're over 14, you like a total idiot going around in your Man U or Dublin jersey.

    Ban alcohol, tobacco and caffeine. Just to give the hypocritical cunts a taste of their own medicine -or rather not give them a taste of their own psychoactive drug.

    Ban burgers which cannot be eaten in your hands in the usual fashion.

    Plastic water bottles. A fcking blight on the planet. I've seen the figure of 22 billion plastic water bottles are discarded around the world every year.

    My one ban would be that.

    Just what the industry calls fashion! One minute its bootleg jeans, then it's leggings and runners, but this time last year if you were caught wearing runners and leggings you'd get laughed at.
    One minute Burberry is all the range, then a few years later if you were caught wearing an item with the pattern, your called a chav! It's an industry I just can't get my head around!

    Yeah, pretty sure domestic abuse is already banned too.

    Do you need help with this game? ;)

    Sports jerseys look OK in my opinion, its when you see adults in full replica kit that it looks ridiculous.

    Alcohol - One of the most, (if not the most) addictive, destructive drugs known to man.

    No it isn't.

    And I'd ban war that doesn't involve the head of state - usually the one declaring war - leading the charge. You want to go to war - go right ahead but don't expect others to do it for you.

    This obsession in certain restaurants with serving food on slates, stones and wooden boards. I like plates. The flat centre and raised edges is a design classic. Kudos to the person who came up with the idea thousands of years ago.

    I was in an extremely mediocre restaurant with serious notions about itself the last time I was in Dublin. Full of needless swirls, foams and food served on slates. The table beside us were in raptures about one of the fish dishes - served on a slate. I had the same dish. The chef should learn to cook a piece of fish correctly before he goes serving it on a slate and topping it off with 'an essence of clam' foam. Needless to say it was sent back - along with the cheeseboard I ordered for dessert.
