Takeaways.

If you live in an average town, with average restaurants like I do, the takeaways are rough as anything.

Miriam Margoyles - deliberately says things purely for shock value, and is rude to people
Ed Sheeran
Phones - they're useful but don't need to be glued to them
Killing Eve - shockingly bad with terrible accents
Fleabag - if the character was working class everyone would hate her
Tiger King boring rubbish which glorifies vile people

McDonalds... Why anyone would queue 2 hrs for food that turns cold as you're paying for it is beyond me

WinWinnieTheWay · 03/06/2020 00:02

Amazon prime - Do we really need something the next day? Really?
Prime video is average too, all the good stuff you have to pay for. I much prefer Netflix.

Hog roasts. Usually a half frozen roll full of fat 🤢

I feel seen by this 😂 I don’t want to love the convenience of amazon as much as I do 😳

For me personally it’s TEd Talks and podcasts and knitting and marmite and Breaking Bad.

They can get in the bin Grin

Coffee chains, London, most ice cream, bananas, spirits, zombie or alien-themed programmes, chutney, brown sauce, curries, MacDonald's, Subway etc (don't mind Burger King very occasionally), Slimming World with its puzzling restrictions and over-reliance on certain brands.

Topseyt · 03/06/2020 03:28

Camping. Parties. I hate both and if that makes me a boring old fart then so be it.
