I know this has been done before but it's Saturday morning and I'm BORED. Fucking bored. Also feeling sorry for myself because the cat has fallen out with me. Here are a few of my tame ones:

Line of Duty is shit
I don't like dogs
Snapped and farted wasn't funny
Baby showers are fucking hideous
Ross Geller is the best Friend 👌

It's sex, not gender
Someone in government should be sacked for the contracts fiasco

StillMedusa · 20/02/2021 23:12

Dogs are better than people.

There are only two sexes and gender choice is a load of woman hating bollocks. Live as you like, wear what you like but you can't change sex.

Reality TV is the opium of the masses.

I think I'd get on ok with Glenthebattleostrich Grin

Takeout coffee is a ridiculous waste of money.

Lockdown should simply end now.

Holothane · 20/02/2021 23:26

Most tv is crap,
Queen the Beatles Marc bolan overrated.
Loathe the Simpson’s my dh loves it
No comedy is funny.
I hate the Olympics, any rugby in fact most sport.
Celebrity tv utter rubbish
Big concerts for national thing utter crap same as fundraising nights on tv.

rawalpindithelabrador · 20/02/2021 23:32

Bridgerton was total shit. 99% of these period dramas are.

Normal People was also shit. The sex scenes were not realistic (no sex scenes are, no reason why they're included at all, they're all gratuitous) and the guy looked like a thug.

Cakeonthefloor · 20/02/2021 23:33

Johnny Depp is still attractive.
I prefer spending time with my dog over my kids.
Men are not efficient at housework

YouBoggleMyMind · 20/02/2021 23:44

Avocado is grim
Lockdown needs to end now
Cats are horrible creatures

Okokokbear · 20/02/2021 23:48

[quote TheVolturi]@okokobear really, having children? 😂 Everyone who has children is boring and basic, OK! [/quote]
So people can say whatever shit they fancy regardless of how offensive it is but I get pulled up on mine? Maybe these threads are actually a terrible idea? Who would have thought?

Truelymadlydeeplysomeonesmum · 20/02/2021 23:48

Watching any sport is boring. Sports are only fun if you are taking part

Teenagers are way better than small children, especially babies

You really don't want to be famous. It is a miserable way to live. Money yes, fame no

We can blame the government all we like for Brexit or covid response. However Labour are also to blame for not being a decent opposition and making it impossible for people to vote them in (Jez).

Ensuite bathrooms are horrible. Only a good idea if you are single.

Living in a city is far better than being in the countryside. Especially during the pandemic.

babyinthacorner · 20/02/2021 23:59

Agree, OP!

Cats over dogs, all day long.
Couldn’t watch more than 10 mins of Line of Duty.
Mine:
Football is shit
Snow over sun

ilikebooksandplants · 21/02/2021 00:18

@rawalpindithelabrador you’re not wrong about Normal People. The book is a load of wank too. I read it and thought it was tosh, then I watched one episode of the TV show and couldn’t be arsed to watch anymore.

Every character needs to catch a bloody grip of themselves.

Wineandbooks · 21/02/2021 00:29

Football is brilliant entertainment and it’s unfair that footballers come in for so much grief for earning such high wages.
There is nothing wrong with wearing trainers and tracksuits when you aren’t exercising
Going to university is overrated

lobster12 · 21/02/2021 00:30

Don't particularly like kids and babies except for my own. I don't understand the new baby smell, isn't it just poo and vomit?

Would like to see other presenters on tv who aren't named Holly, Phill. Ant and Dec.

ChristmasSexyTime · 21/02/2021 00:33

Really glad BoJo is in charge.

Most 'national treasures/nation's sweetheart types' are seriously irritating people.

WoWsers16 · 21/02/2021 00:40

Hate this 'go fund me' situation everyone seems to do for everything - seem to have them popping up all over the place recently and they're doing my head in! For god sake get insurance!

peppajay · 21/02/2021 00:41

Harry potter books film and world - and baking - so time consuming and messy,

poptartqueen · 21/02/2021 00:42

Steve coogan is never funny

bearfood · 21/02/2021 00:52

@FindingMeno agree with you 100% and shudder to think where my adult dd would be now had I not held those beliefs strongly when she was a young teen.

CoRhona · 21/02/2021 00:54

Line of Duty is NOT shit!!

Star Wars, film versions of all of Tolkien's works and Rick and Morty, however...

Clevererthanyou · 21/02/2021 01:09

All condiment sauces are evil tasting and expensive.
I’m looking at you ketchup, mayo, brown sauce Angry , sweet chilli Angry Angry bleurgh. (I think I may be alone on this thought!)

These threads always always bring out the nasty pasty folk though don’t they? I am as always soooooooo sorry for being an air consuming fat cunt and will ofc endeavour to fuck off and die somewhere quietly so as not to disrupt the beautiful people anymore 😂😂

Bluntasduck · 21/02/2021 01:31

Dominic Cummings is dizzyingly sexy

Truelymadlydeeplysomeonesmum · 21/02/2021 01:32

WhatShock

MumofSpud · 21/02/2021 01:42
  1. Anybody who watches Love Island and is over 30 is tragic
  2. Do not like any names beginning with a 'K'
  3. Do not like Ant and/or Dec
  4. Gavin and Stacey is not funny
  5. Not using apostrophes for plurals is easy
Anordinarymum · 21/02/2021 01:57

Bill Bailey is not a legend nor is he funny.
People like Philip Schofield and Ant and Dec and Bloody Lorraine Kelly put me off watching TV.
Paul McCartney should be banned from singing
James Corden ? Why ???

Dontletthecatout · 21/02/2021 02:07

The 'nice' guys tend to be creeps
Co-sleeping when comfortable is ok
Mixed feeding is basically saying formula feeding but numbing the breast part (which isn't happening half as much but who cares anyway)
Homeschooling is hell - I'm no teacher! If I was I'd get paid for such and know as much
Independence should be a right not a virtue

AlternativePerspective · 21/02/2021 02:09

Friends was utter shite.

Breastfeeding is overrated and more women should be encouraged to and feel comfortable giving a bottle than feel they should martyr themselves And risk PND for something which actually has little proven benefit.

Gogglebox/love island/any of those kinds of reality tv shows are vacuous as are the people who watch them.

“Celebrities” who become such because of having appeared on said vacuous tv shows are not celebs, and the ones who appear on the likes of “celebrity masterchef/I’m a celebrity” are generally either has-been celebrities trying to revive their now dead careers or are has-been plebs made celebs by the vacuous tv programmes they appeared on desperate to cling on to a career which should never have existed in the first place.
