Lighthearted, give me your unpopular opinions.

I can start;

The musical Hamilton and Star Wars are over rated.

I judge people who use 'borrow' for 'lend' and 'of' instead of 'have'.

@dawnc27

that grease 2 is better than the 1st
Agreed. A cool rider is way better than hopelessly devoted to you (or worst yet, Stranded at a drive-in). Can you tell I've put enough thought into this one?

Davis Bowie was overrated.
Agree.

David Bowie was pretty good, though.

Zac Efron is an underrated actor, with superb comic timing.

My son for saying ' can I get' .. instead of ' may I have'
I did have a go at him , too. The lady behind the counter did laugh.
People who are completely humour less stress me out.
Life can be funny sometimes! Lighten up a bit. It's not always depressing.

@HarrietSchulenberg

People who put jelly in trifle should be shot.

Ditto second home owners. Greedy bastards - isn't one enough?

Hot tubs are disgusting.

I'm confused isnt trifle made with Jelly?

Alcohol is a drug and all it's users mostly become unpleasant to be around after taking it.

That 'Imagine' by John Lennon is a shit song

Yep. I mean I get the message of the song but a bit of a piss take i.e. imagine there's no possessions. Which one of your mansions would that be, John ?

It's the crying and dribbling and I love this song that goes with it when people hear it that I fail to understand.

As for Robbie Williams, 'Angels' don't get me started.....

While Elton John is well-known for indulging in large-scale shopping trips, he claims that John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono were just as bad in his new memoir, Me.

"Out shopping one day I realized I might have exhausted the possibilities of retail therapy when I found myself buying a cuckoo clock that, instead of a cuckoo, had a large wooden penis that popped in and out of it every hour," John wrote.

"I gave it to John Lennon when I went to visit him. I thought it was a good present for a man who had everything. John and Yoko were as bad as me when it came to shopping. The various apartments they owned in the Dakota [in New York City] were so full of priceless artworks, antiques and clothes that I once sent them a card, rewriting the lyrics to 'Imagine': 'Imagine six apartments, it isn't hard to do, one is full of fur coats, another's full of shoes.'

Jelly trifle is for kids.

Loggerino · 29/03/2021 15:52

Wine and slow cookers ARE shit, yeah.

the80sweregreat · 29/03/2021 15:57

I think that a drop of alcohol in moderation is ok.
I admit that it must be hard living with an alcoholic or someone who can't take it or leave it, but saying that everyone who likes a drink now and again are sad is a bit much too. A glass or two now and then doesn't hurt really.
There will always be addicts to anything bad. If it was banned completely I could live with that too. It won't be as it brings in too much revenue which is another thread entirely!
Maybe it should be banned for humanity's good? Would people prefer this? Then drugs and cigarettes would also have to go too! Then fast food and trifle and chocolate and it would become never ending as to what we could keep or just ban forever! Can you imagine the threads on here ?

@BaskingMad

David Walliams’ kids books are a pile of weird shite, their place is recycling bin.
100% They are so rubbish, so glad DD has now outgrown that shite.
SchrodingersImmigrant · 29/03/2021 15:59

Omg then the coffee would go and no way could I deal with that😂

the80sweregreat · 29/03/2021 16:02

D w 's books are just Dahl rip offs!
Why they are so popular is a mystery.
I'd ban coffee ( sorry ) but not tea!
Football would definitely be banned ( and formula one )

99.9% of Life Coaches are scammers.

'Intuitive' Life Coach = unqualified
'Intuitive Transformational Life Coach' = unqualified and full of shit.
'Embody Your Iconic Brand' = I'll flatter you into handing over huge sums
'Ignite Your Feminine Intuition = Word Salad Bullshit
'Speak Your Truth' = Speak your tedious opinions.

Hushpuppy1 · 29/03/2021 16:12

That’s not dated, that’s broken. There’s a difference.

Sorry, my response was to expectopelargonium‘s description of her bathroom.

EvilOnion · 29/03/2021 16:21

@FooFighter99 if it makes you feel any better, I have a Queen (the band) sleeve tattoo... Clearly not the most popular myself 🤣

FooFighter99 · 29/03/2021 16:25

Haha @EvilOnion that does help, slightly

You are forgiven Smile

I bet your tattoo is all kinds of awesome Wink

@Pokercomic

Hahaha I went to bed and this has blown up!

I do agree hot drinks are rubbish, tea, coffee, hot chocolate 🤮

Yorkshire puddings can go with any meat not just beef

All babies are ugly and look like old men.

re: Hot chocolate - not if you get it in Italy Yorkshire puddings - and does go with any meat in my house. DH was lucky I didn't have it with yesterday''s chicken curry.

re: babies, depends on if they are under 7 days old. My kids were beautiful with tons of hair and didn't look like wrinkled old bald men (after 7 days).

Mygardenisnotperfect · 29/03/2021 18:05

Homeopathy is a scam.

Arrowheart · 29/03/2021 18:09

Disney is shit. The whole lot. All shit.

@TryingAgain16

Timothy Dalton was the only Bond that looked like James Bond should have looked.

Timothy Dalton was the only Bond that behaved how James Bond was described as having behaved.

Timothy Dalton was the best James Bond. It's like he 'got it' when the other actors were trying to prove a point about themselves rather than playing the role correctly.

I have heard this before.

I have never watched a Timothy Dalton (nor Pierce Brosnan) James Bond film

I don't like James Bond

I understand that EVERYONE loves Sean Connery, but having watched You only live Twice, I don't think he was that great and my James Bond is Eyebrow raising Roger Moore (though Casino Royal with Daniel Craig was great, mostly because it didn't feel like a James Bond film)

Disney is shit. The whole lot. All shit.
