Lighthearted, give me your unpopular opinions.

I can start;

The musical Hamilton and Star Wars are over rated.

Men in cropped, skinny jeans with no socks should be fined for crimes against the eyes.

@thinkingaboutLangCleg

Marmite chocolate. It appeared like the sun breaking through clouds, then vanished just as suddenly. I made my final bar last for weeks. Still miss that juicy kick at the back of my throat.
I had never heard of this, and now it will give me nightmares.

Pork pies are dry. So very, very dry.

They didn't used to be in The Olden Days, ButIcant. They were crispy pastry filled with pink (NOT grey) meat and delicious, delicious jelly. You don't get pork pies like that now.

Fleabag was a couple of feeble jokes buried in piles of tedium.
You're so wrong
Sparklingbrook · 29/03/2021 07:58

Mmm not enjoy exactly @hayandoats, it’s a fascinating insight though. Grin

Most coppers are not bastards, they're just.Trying to do a job.

Most protesters are not thugs, they just want to demonstrate peacefully.

There are dickheads in both that ruin it for the rest but there's no need to be so binary about it. This applies to many other issues.

hayandoats · 29/03/2021 07:59

You’re here, you’re finding it fascinating and you’re desperate to be acknowledged so I’d say you’re enjoying it.

@OppsUpsSide

I kinda like the 'big light' being on

Having the big light on is common Blush

I love the Big Light, me.

The whole point of lights is that YOU CAN SEE.

If half the room is torn intocreepy shadow, what's the point. Just go to bed.

Totally agree- wine is awful. Totally don’t see the appeal.
Trifle is gross- horrid.
Baked beans are the work of the devil
Also, any rom com (think slushy film like 4 weddings, or that Christmas holiday one that everyone watches - boring drivel

@Stillfunny

Rock Choir or any Choir made up of middle aged women that pay for the privilege , are tedious , boring and despite what they think , not Cool and / empowering. Just shite that only they and their families ( who are forced to go to concerts) think are enjoyable or worthy .
Agree with this. Then they release singles, I tend to turn the radio off when they come on.

I’m off to work soon sadly so I’ll have to leave you to it. Sad You will have to choose someone else to acknowledge. Grin

People are allowed to post having only read page 1 of thread

Jelly is disgusting in sponge trifle, which is delicious.
Bohemian Rhapsody is great but have heard it too much
Most musicals are pretty crap except one or two - Joseph, My Fair Lady
Dogs should have off lead exercise only in specifically made parks.
MMALT
Kentucky Fried Chicken is great if you are starving

Stonehenge is disappointingly small

hayandoats · 29/03/2021 08:05

You’ve posted eight times on a thread you don’t like and don’t enjoy. You clearly wanted someone to acknowledge that you don’t think it’s a good idea for a thread.

Neither do I particularly but I also recognise me not liking something isn’t a good basis for MN to pull it.

Endlessly piping up about it is guaranteed to turn it that way.

sst1234 · 29/03/2021 08:08

@Quaagars

because these threads always start out as "lighthearted" but end up getting pulled/turn into slanging matches as people find them an outlet to showcase their utter arsehole opinions lol
So you thought you thought you would make start by being nasty? Are part of the be kind brigade that is first to deviate from your own message?

Osama Bin Laden was quite handsome 😂I probably ought to have named changed for that one 😂😂😂

If you drink wine at home during the week, you’re an alcoholic seeking to blot out the suppressed misery of your existence.

@tangerinelollipop

Men being waxed, having facials, dyeing their hair, nails done, etc is just wrong. The natural look is best on men.
The natural look is excellent on women too - no one NEEDS to peel hairs off their skin, change their hair colour, paint their nails and face. It's just what many choose to do mainly because they've been told they have to.

There's natural and well-put together and there's natural and unkempt. It doesn't have to be both.

Men can look great made up too, it's "just wrong" because it's not been marketed as the norm. Yet.
