Hop house lager.
They should stick to Guinness.

Lagunitas lager.
When you pour lagunitas it always smelt like the line needed a clean or it was off to me but that's how it smells and tastes apparently.

Amazing is the most over-used word in our language.

The birth of a baby is amazing, Michelangelo's David is amazing, the Alhambra is amazing.

Ikea, your bestie’s new Primark dress and Nando’s are not!

Agree with most things on here.

My personal ones include:

  • LA, specifically that street with all the stars on the pavement and rodeo drive/Beverley hills
  • Facebook, although most people have now seen the light agree it’s sh*t
  • high heels

KFC

Agree on ikea food also.
Any cheap nasty food can be added to the list.
