Salt and vinegar crisps are vile.

In a hotel/on holiday I will always choose the 'continental' option over a full English. Especially if it's a buffet.

All tattoos are ghastly. I do not believe that many ‘professional’ people have them.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but large numbers of professional people have them.

I'm a geology BSc and have them. On the ship I'm on just now, three female colleagues have them, two geologists and a marine zoology PhD.

When I was 20, I was waiting my turn in a tattoo shop and there was a crown court judge having one; he was absolutely covered in them - all hidden by shirt and trousers.

I object to paying £20 for coffee and a croissant.

So I usually skip the hotel breakfast and buy coffee and a croissant out. Also usually nicer coffee.

Coffee is horrible.

Deliberately showing lots of cleavage is just as inappropriate as showing your bare bum

Megan Markle seems to have been 41 for about 5 years…

NO-one in their 30s - or older looks like a teenager. Only in their head.

Tea is minging.

Ahh yes! I have a friend who constantly insists she looks 12, looks like a child, looks like a teenager etc etc etc.
No. She's short and dresses very young, this does not make her look like a child. It makes her look like a short woman in her 30s wearing childlike clothes.

DannyZukosSmile · 09/05/2023 23:36

Exactly @Inkypot !

Musicals are shit.
If I want songs, I go to a concert.
And if I want good acting, to the theatre.
Both of them together just does not happen for the majority of musicals out there! Yuck
And they are boring...

(Moves to another country and seeks assylum...)

Yep. Even worse when there’s complicated dance routines. It is physically impossible to be a fantastic dancer and a full on sock-it-to-‘em singer at the same time - look it up, the muscles are different and work against each other. These musicals often can’t make up their mind whether the story, the dance or the music is the most important, and it’s usually the music that loses out.

Only toddlers should wear crocs in public.

Men wearing ankle grazing trousers with loafers and no socks should be mown down as soon as they leave the house.

Baked beans are great generally but have no place at the breakfast table.

The Goons are appalling, can't image why they are held up as radio classics.

Salad cream is vinegary and vulgar.

Australian wine tastes like alcoholic Ribena.

Curtains with eyelets rather than proper pleats are just lazy.

People who exercise a lot can be extremely smug.

Brides don't need to wear dresses that resemble Victorian nightwear but neither is it the moment for necklines plunging to the waist or arse skimming backless numbers.

Ooh, that's very cathartic.

Fab list. I’m with you on everything except the baked beans 😂

Brussel sprouts are the Devil's farts made solid
Cucumber makes everything it touches taste foul. Apart from Pimms, it's alright in Pimms.
People who like Pimms are weird.
I don't want to hear people brag about the sex toys they own.

Following on from this....

Were the English hobbits before 20th century?

The meals I've heard of are:-
Breakfast
Lunch
Afternoon tea
Dinner
Supper

5 meals a day is too many. My brain just can't figure it out.

To be fair, most people in Victorian times would’ve been luck to have one meal a day.

anyway here’s mine:

it’s a really nice surprise to have unexpected guests knock on the door.

Musicals and tea are both great

SinnerBoy · 10/05/2023 01:16

I've always hated musicals, but I like tea. I also like coffee.

MidnightMeltdown · 10/05/2023 02:04

Festivals are shite. Why would anyone want to negotiate crowds, mud, tents, and unsanitary toilet facilities, when you can watch in relative luxury at home?

ilovesooty · 10/05/2023 02:36

If you have a crappy January birthday you should be allowed to swap it for a summer one.

IHeartGeneHunt · 10/05/2023 07:36

Oh I agree with musicals. I get embarrassed even if I'm on my own watching them.
Pigeons are great and misunderstood and I love them, all pigeons, town and country.

Whyishewearingasombero · 10/05/2023 08:28

I really want to like The Range. But. This.

Nooo, it's the opposite. Watching festivals and concerts on TV is miserable.

Mrsjayy · 10/05/2023 08:30

I hate the range ours is dank and dingy and the randomness is bonkers!
