Ooh no, coffee is great! Even better than tea!

I like coffee. But Sainsburys Italian coffee tastes like fish.

The UK would be a better place without any dogs at all.

All radio 4 comedy programmes are rubbish. If I want to laugh, the only thing that does it is Frazier or Only Fools and Horses.

@IHeartGeneHunt tuna is an abomination with anything!

@sunshineandstrawberryjam agree completely about facial piercings. Earrings? Fine. Nosering? Fine. Anything else is just a no from me.

IStandWithSycamoreGap · 09/10/2023 13:21

@IHeartGeneHunt I'm completely with you on the mint sauce though! Mmmm....delicious!

oh and every roast needs yorkshires and stuffing. Even beef needs a stuffing accompaniment.

I thought the movie Hugo was seriously boring and pointless. (I've got a feeling I might have made the same point before but it was a shockingly bad and long (!!!!) movie).

Pot noodles are delicious.

I love Peppa pig.

@SinnerBoy

One of these absolute abominations:

Makes me feel sick imagining all the germs on that.

I hate this anti plate movement which has been going on for the past decade or so. Started with slates, chopping boards, deconstructed meals now these awful hideous grazing tables. Just the phrase grazing tables gives me he ick. We aren't farmyard animals noshing away at a trough.

Frith2013 · 09/10/2023 13:46

Yes, to having proper plates.

Dogs should be banned. All neutered and allowed to die out.

I'd go so as to say the concept of having pets is very odd.

Smoking should be banned.

Alcohol should be seen as the drug that it is and not glamourised and drunk people not seen as amusing.

Frith2013 · 09/10/2023 13:50

I'd also get rid of silly eyebrows (especially drawn on examples) and perfectly normal, lovely hair that its owner has filled with horrible, straw like highlights. What do they think it achieves?

Whyishewearingasombero · 09/10/2023 14:20

The only time an adult should be wearing crocs is in the garden.

It's ok to leave your clothes on the line overnight

ScottBakula · 09/10/2023 14:38

Resurrecting old ( tho possibly not zombie status yet ) threads like this is ok as long as the OP wasn't looking for a specific answer.

enchantedsquirrelwood · 09/10/2023 14:52

Agree tuna is an abomination (so are baked beans and bananas, whether in cake form or not).

Also agree having pets is weird but I think that is probably too serious for this thread.

Baked beans and banana cake? What??? 😱

WomanStanleyWoman2 · 09/10/2023 16:02

Having just heard it on the radio now, I feel obliged to add that “Imagine” is the most overrated song ever. A patronising little nursery rhyme.

And the food isn't deconstructed if it's never been put together in the first place; it's unconstructed.

I knew someone would read my post like that Grin

I meant that bananas are horrible, whether in cake form or not (as someone above mentioned that banana cake is horrible).

Baked beans are also horrible (and would not be improved by putting them in a cake!)

The theme tune to Sunday night’s Antique Road Show-is the most depressing piece of music ever written

Disagree...I absolutely love that music. It's so nostalgic. It's like the John Lewis of theme tunes. So reassuring and wonderfully British!

I do agree about baked beans. Nasty sauce. Pulses in tins generally are fine.

War is Over is even worse. Worst Lennon song ever. Just a dirge. Not Christmassy at all. Surely if war was really over you would sing something with a happy tune?
