Kevin McCloud's voice.
Used to be in love with Grand Designs, over and over. Watched EVERY episode.
Now - I can't bear to listen (DH still watching them and feeling the love).
Sorry Kevin - it's me not you!
This thread isn't about lovely Kevin btw! Just an example :)
Yours?

Eastenders. Just got more depressing and plotlines more bizarre

Boy racers. Used to barely notice them, now want to puncture their tyres.

Sex.

Boot cut jeans. I lived in them. Now I think they look so dated. I get really irrationally irritated by them being worn with trainers. Ridiculous, I know.

Saturday night TV. I am SO SO SO over SCD and X Factor.

If they were never on again it would be too soon.

Simon Cowell and Cheryl whateverhersurnameistoday can be put in a rocket ship to outer space along with Tess Daly, Claudia Winkleman and the Williams weirdos. And if there was a seat for Katie Price, that would be an even bigger bonus.

Yes (or no) to sex. Too much kerfuffle

Most things. My tolerance levels have plummeted.

Another one for The Labour Party

General public never seemed to annoy me as much as they do now. In my advancing age I have become more perfect by the day

purplecorkheart · 02/10/2018 22:25

Soap operas, bars/concerts that I have to stand in.

Somerville · 02/10/2018 22:25

So many things that I fear I’ve turned into a grumpy old woman.
TV is all rubbish lately. Especially everything that everyone else is going on about.

WTBE · 02/10/2018 22:25

Any sort of soap...EastEnders/Corrie/Hollyoaks (not a soap Dodger)

People in general!

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 02/10/2018 22:28

Chris Evans.
Bono.
Boris Johnson.
In order of increasing irritation.

Another one for the Labour Party.

Its definitely them not me.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 02/10/2018 22:34

Luckily for me I have always hated Coronation Street, Eastenders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, IACGMOOH, X Factor, Big Brother, Love Island, Philip and Holly so feel no disappointment. However, I am, finally, this year, on a precipice with Strictly. I think we’re over. Sad

DragonScales · 02/10/2018 22:34

Pubs and clubs - I used to look forward to my weekends which were full of drinking and dancing the night away... I went out a month ago and the music was too loud so chatting with my friends was difficult, there was no seating in half the pubs and my feet hurt, there were men on the dancefloor who had gropey wandering hands and I realised that what used to be something fun was now my idea of hell.

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 02/10/2018 22:35

@mintich NOOOOOOOOOO

moonbeam discontinued?

Mrsmadevans · 02/10/2018 22:36

'So many things that I fear I’ve turned into a grumpy old woman. '
Yep!
Although l cannot agree with you about Bodyguard but Stranger & Killing Eve are awful Hmm

butterfly56 · 02/10/2018 22:37

Yep agree any Soaps!...not watched any for years!

My adult DCs are just bloody annoying now! As I am now quite deaf they talk to me like I'm bloody 92 not 62!! Angry

KatharineHilbery · 02/10/2018 22:37

Grazia. Just not interested any more.

BoudicasBoudoir · 02/10/2018 22:37

Cath Kidston stuff. Quite liked it years ago (i.e. before it was everywhere). Now, wouldn’t be seen dead.

DollyDayScream · 02/10/2018 22:37

Jamie Oliver - I don't even want to read his Christmas recipes anymore!

paddlingwhenIshouldbeworking · 02/10/2018 22:37

Yes dancefloors!

TheFaerieQueene · 02/10/2018 22:37

Massages. Used to love them.
Turn my stomach now.

mintich · 02/10/2018 22:39

@mumsiedarlingrevolta someone just PMd me to tell me it's not discontinued! The girl on the counter told me it was!
