Crap chocolate - I’d eat a Double Decker ahead of Belgium’s finest without a doubt.

Theresa May, Gordon Brown, Nick Clegg - at least we knew they were fairly decent people even if they were doing a shit job. Now we have shits doing a shit job.

Immigration - enriches society, gene pool, and food groups.

People who are nouveau riche - it makes me feel really happy and inspired to see people prosper from difficult beginnings, and really enjoy their success.

In fact, all the unpopular creatures: spiders, wasps, rats, magpies.

Not working.

I love the smell of my dog's head. She used to smell like that all over when she was a puppy. Awww.

I HATE the sound of people eating. Unless they're eating cornflakes or chocolate from the fridge. Then I love it.

I love to wear my crocs with socks, and especially with my trousers tucked into my socks. Such comfort and security.

I love lockdown.

Thin, scratchy bath towels
Going to the dental hygienist
I think I have a thing for puritanical discomfort

Eckhart · 04/01/2021 22:11

Oh yes, and the smell of my dog's paws too. They smell like popcorn.

OneWildNightWithJBJ · 04/01/2021 22:15

Agree with you about winter and the rain! I love cold, dark, miserable mornings!! I like to be alone as well.

BarelyFunctioning · 04/01/2021 22:16

@Time40 @Bunchup @CandidaAlbicans2 - I am pleased to hear you like slugs because we get nocturnal visits from them in a corner of our kitchen. While I don't hate them, they do give me a jolt each time I see one and I am struggling to feel the love.

Please could you share what's nice / interesting about them so I might be less likely to shriek / squeal whenever I see one?

Animum2 · 04/01/2021 22:21

When it's cold :)

I have warm blood so it takes a lot for me to get cold

Time40 · 04/01/2021 22:28

@BarelyFunctioning I love snails, slugs and snakes because they're beautiful - they're a lovely, elegant shape, and snails have gorgeous shells. I wouldn't be happy about having slugs in my kitchen, though!

(I'm keen on black slugs. I'm not fond of the fat pale brown ones ... they would never win a slug beauty contest.)
