Totally lighthearted(but I know which way these things go)
Apart from all the big stuff (Brexit, climate change, plastics) what would you happily throw in, never to be seen again?
Today-that really thick, sealed plastic packaging that needs industrial scissors to open. (Ironic as it was scissors inside) Impossible, then deadly sharp.(currently have finger wrapped in kitchen roll)
go for it ...

All those advertising leaflets that fall out of newspapers all over the floor.
Door handles, that I keep catching clothes on.
The basket of odd socks I have that i’m scared to get rid of in case I find the matching ones.
Cold calling companies I have TPS especially if they call when I’m expecting an important call and rush down the stairs, from the bathroom, or outside only to be told “ we’re not trying to sell you anything” BUT THEY REALLY ARE!

Cauliflower cheese. ... actually, anything which has ever been near a cheese sauce. Envy bleurgh!

Time-consuming paperwork. Emails.

Also... I don't know why but I LOVE getting rid of clothing.... so all of my DH & DC's clothes.

The phrase "snapped and farted". It wasn't funny then and it's no funnier now.

With you on ‘breg-zit’ Soup Dragon (and my compliments on referencing The Clangers -TV gold). I’d add a vote for that bloody advert with the manically chirpy woman too stupid to know what to do to clean her teeth; pavement cyclists; those ubiquitous grey jogging bottoms that never look quite clean and are always worn by chaps determined to flash their nether cleavage at the world; the word ‘coatigan’ (just gives me the rage); mint-flavoured chocolate (shudder).

Fun fact: Throwing stuff into a black hole turns out to be a very good way of generating power. (It gives off loads of heat and light before it falls in.)

Anyway I'm throwing in every single Busted single and album that exist.

safariboot · 12/04/2019 00:34

Also, dog barks. Keep the dogs, just throw the barks down the black hole so I don't have to listen to them all freaking day.
