Uncultured opinions thread

[MeinKraft]

A thread for those of us who have less refined tastes.

No arguing please, like the unpopular opinions thread please respect the uncultured opinions.

I'll start;

Oscar nominated films are often boring and rubbish. I'd rather watch old episodes of Gavin and Stacey or Ghosts. (I'll make an exception for Titanic, the greatest film of all time)

Happy, Shamless, days @TheChosenTwo

I like to wear what clothes I prefer that keep me warm, rather than what looks OK, I've got one of those hats that look similar to the guards at eg London tower. It's very warm

I’m just as happy with instant coffee as the real variety.

If left to my own devices I could think of nothing better than an afternoon of watching reality TV.
Sadly I'm never left to my own devices.

Oh yea I am adding Eastenders in. Bloody love it!

Intellectuals and academics are often stupid and lack critical thinking.

miserable depressing art and theatre is a lot easier to make than comedy.

Intellectuals and academics, are part of the reason you have the technology we have today, yes different subjects I can understand are more theory,

I watch stuff like Say Yes to the Dress, How Clean is Your House, hoarder shows, Househunters International, and Help! I Wrecked my House and the like online so people who want to watch nature shows on the bigass biggish TV can do that to their heart's content.

Popcorn makes a fine meal as long as it is generously dressed with melted butter (or butter substitute, I'm not a snob).

Occasionally I go to a movie just so I can eat a bucket of popcorn.

I also love EastEnders. On my child free days off I like to put the Drama channel on for all the "classic" soaps.

I love pork scratching and scampi fries.

I like nandos

I have never been to Nando’s

My mum keeps buying me artisan chocolates on high days and holidays from an independent chocolatier. They are all hand made and presented beautifully. I would actually really like a nose bag of maltesers or minstrels. Posh chocolate is wasted on me, I would prefer whatever's on offer for £1 in Tesco, like a four pack of crunchies.

Come on over to Telly Addicts where there is a fab thread about the Scandoval!!

I enjoy watching WWE and don’t mind drinking wine from a mug.

Only plastic cheese will do at a BBQ to go on top of burgers.

Also, plastic cheese and ketchup sandwiches are delicious.

Finally, it's not a poem if it doesn't rhyme. Not that I'm keen on any type of poetry!

I do like posh chocs but I like Maltesers and Crunchie bars as well.

Totally agree olives are yuck.

Don't get the love for poetry or opera. I sang in a choir at school and university but I don't really like choral music, I'd rather listen to instrumental music.

And I like Pizza Express as well.

You got further than me, I didn’t make it twenty paragraphs in!

Thomas Cromwell will always be second only in the Utter Bastard Stakes to his master.

I prefer tap water to mineral water.

Same! Unless it’s hard water or from artesian wells, that’s awful.

I thought the same thing after wading through it for my GCSE and it totally putting me off English. Some boring woman stuck on a moor moaning about life.

But in lockdown I inexplicably read it again and actually thought it was great. So perhaps there's something about being made to study a book that ruins it.

There definitely is - I was put off Jane Austen for years.

These days I find I’m put off a book by someone telling me I must read it.

It was so much easier when I was about 8 and could pick fairly random stuff off the kids’ A-Z By Author shelves at the local library.

Sometimes I think officials / councils are so caught up in protecting the historical parts of a place they forget to think about what's good for the modern dsy residents of those places now.
