Just looking at the John Lewis advert thread....I thought it was sweet but there are people who don’t...fair enough.

But are there some things that are universally liked?

For example

A kitten, who can’t like a kitten?
.
A walk on a crisp autumn day?

having a wee when you really need one
going to a loo not in your house and realising there is both paper and soap
going to bed after an exhausting day
receiving a postcard from a friend
being dry when there's rain outside
rainbows
duvets?

finding a clothing item you love and there's only one left and it's your size and also on sale

I hate Dads Army!

delphguelph · 07/09/2018 13:05

Alan Rickman?

delphguelph · 07/09/2018 13:07

The smell of rain hitting the ground after hot, sunny weather

You mean when it dissolves all the dried in dog shit, piss and puke?

^^

I'd say that glass is half full.

Yy to a really good poo. I'm having one right now! Grin

Dowser surely hypochondriacs don’t enjoy good health????

ChuChuUa · 07/09/2018 14:51

Getting the Countdown conundrum when neither of the contestants have got it, nor anyone in the audience. Makes me happy anyway Grin

DemocracyDiesInDarkness · 07/09/2018 15:33

Ewwww no @delphguelph I couldn't bare his smarmy voice.

AlecTrevelyan006 · 07/09/2018 15:42

I don’t particularly like sleep

Ragwort · 07/09/2018 16:46

I loathe a 'lie in', I just want to get up and get on with my day. We are on holiday at the moment (3 of us sharing a room Grin) & it's really irritating to have to avoid disturbing others when I would love to get out for a beach walk at 6am!
Interesting comment about receiving postcards, I quite enjoy writing & sending postcards but it seems a bit old fashioned now & remember all the threads at Christmas when people say they hate Christmas cards & just chuck them in the bin. I now only send postcards to my elderly parents.

tobee · 07/09/2018 16:46

How about a good mumsnet thread? Which this is. Ok, now I'm really asking for it, aren't I?

pumpkinyael · 07/09/2018 17:16

Oxygen?

Was probably already mentioned.

pumpkinyael · 07/09/2018 17:18

@Ragwort

I love cards.

Post, Christmas, Birthday...:)!

NigelGresley · 07/09/2018 17:21

PIzza! Never met anyone who disliked pizza.

Sleeping in your own bed after being away from home.

When you’re really busy at work, the phone rings & it’s either a wrong number or a fax machine.

A wee when you’ve been busting for ages.

Spring!

Fresh air

ImogenTubbs · 07/09/2018 17:21

Titsywoo - my sister used to pass out when she laughed too hard. It put her off a bit!

ShatnersBassoon · 07/09/2018 18:08

I hate Dads Army!

Yeah, but not Private Godfrey. It's an undeniable, proven fact that everyone likes him.

MarshaBradyo · 07/09/2018 18:10

Getting a big present

A delivery from a shop you love

tobee · 07/09/2018 18:15

What if it's something you've already got? Then it's awkward

tobee · 07/09/2018 18:15

The present.

MarshaBradyo · 07/09/2018 18:16

Ha yeah maybe - just before you open it it’s good

Might might go downhill

Fuzzyend · 07/09/2018 18:27

Serena Williams?

9amtrain · 07/09/2018 18:35

There will even be people who don't like shopping and receiving presents, those against capitalism and consumerism or whatever the right term is! And Amish people maybe?

9amtrain · 07/09/2018 18:35

I'm none of those so I will gratefully accept any presents unwanted.

MrsZB · 07/09/2018 18:37

I don’t like getting presents.

I always feel a bit sad and guilty when I get a postcard.
