Lighthearted, give me your unpopular opinions.

I can start;

The musical Hamilton and Star Wars are over rated.

@IsmelllikeaBigfoot

I love being a housewife. I have worked on and off over the years, but I have been married for 35 years and DH is the breadwinner. I do most things in the house and always have a clean house, cup of tea and meal waiting for him when he comes home from work. I do not earn any money but have access to the joint bank account and take care of all the day to day money and bills. He has always taken care of me. Grin
You are taking care of each other, in a way that suits you both.

I don't know why people think this is she dreadful (except that there are a lot of unpleasant men out there who use cash to control their families), but if it works for you, go for it!

Avocados are rank

Olive are rank

Coriander is rank

Love island and all reality type shows are soul destroying

Cats are evil (I’m so sorry about this one, I’ve tried to like them I’m just a dog person) they claw you and bend in the middle - this is the work of the devil surely 🤣

I quite like Boris Johnson, admittedly he isn’t great but he’s better than some of the clowns we’ve had in power

I’m basically a really grumpy person 🤣

Feature walls rule. I have a red one in one room and a brown one in another. People can just deal with it.

Russell D Davies is not the saviour of TV. Years and Years was largely a mess and It's a Sin is overrated and self-indulgent.

Those crossbred dogs with curly fur that look like cuddly toys are a rip-off and people who buy them have got more money than sense, and would be better off with one of said toys.

Triyoga (poncey London yoga chain) is also for people with more money than sense. Better teachers and reasonable prices at my local studio, which is a not-for-profit.

@SplendidSuns1000

I think dogs are unclean and annoying. I don't understand why people think they're a family member. I understand why you'd love a pet but some people's entire personality is just DOG
Guilty as charged! Grin

@Abcdefghi88 I bet you grimace in the Disney adult nightwear section in Primark don't you. Or at least look slightly perplexed... Grin

Cats ..they claw you and bend in the middle...thanks for my morning laugh, DogmumGrin

I've never been in Primark and, if there's a Disney adult nightwear section, I certainly won't ever.

Dogmum81 · 29/03/2021 12:45

Can I also just add that I genuinely do not understand all the new forms of identity are? What’s gender fluid, gender neutral, non binary and all the rest of them! I just don’t get what they all are 🙈

Loveagoodbuffet · 29/03/2021 12:46

@Silvercatowner this comment has made me smile.
I wouldn't. Its not a sight to behold.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 29/03/2021 12:48

@Iremembertheelderlykoreanlady

The Beatles are way over rated
I agree.

They were rubbish and I can't understand their popularity then or now.

Abcdefghi88 · 29/03/2021 12:51

@loveagoodbuffet I avoid! Grin

The mythical mn husband who earns £6figures is a made up affectation & brag
Women who say NAMALT are apologists for inappropriate creepy men. These are women who ignore,minimise and explain away inappropriate males. No one ever knows anyone 100% and your darling husband,son,boyfriend,brother,uncle,dad has at some point been inappropriate.

I really like MM
She didn't let the 'ticking clock' to get her to settle, waited for the right person.

Successful in her own right, an actress with a couple of million in the bank, her own home (before Harry).

She was travelling around Europe in a caravan with her friend in her early 30s. Good on her.

Veronika13 · 29/03/2021 13:13

And to add: most who don't like her are just seething with jealousy that she's met a prince and living her best life whilst they had to marry their local bf who wouldn't do their share of the housework.

Otherwise I think a truly happy person, content in their own relationship - wouldn't hate her so much.

Tara336 · 29/03/2021 13:20

That there’s nothing wrong with crossbreeds and their “made up” names

A dated kitchen or bathroom does not NEED to be replaced.

EvilOnion · 29/03/2021 13:23

Wow Veronika, you're quite invested aren't you!

I don't do the whole royal thing and hadn't heard of MM before tbh. Can't say I blame them for wanting to distance themselves from it all but I certainly don't think there's much to be jealous about given how things have panned out for them and the chaotic family life they seem to have.

Wealth and status doesn't equate to happiness, clearly.

expectopelargonium · 29/03/2021 13:24

@Hushpuppy1

A dated kitchen or bathroom does not NEED to be replaced.
Our bathroom does - it's 35 years old, there's no shower, quite a lot of tiles are loose/broken, one of the bath taps is dripping and is beyond repair (already repaired several times), the radiator is rusty and there's a leak from the cistern which is coming through the dining room ceiling.
MagicSummer · 29/03/2021 13:24

Yes to avocados - urgh, ditto halloumi, mayonnaise and HP Sauce
I too hate the name Ottilie - what does it even mean?
I don't like babies and children - at all
Pasta - nasty slimy stuff
Reality shows are as dull as ditchwater - particularly I'm a Celebrity
Can't stand Ant and Dec or Gemma Collins or Katie Price
