I think Russel Crowe is incredible as Javert

Totally agree, I must be the only (other) person who quite liked this year's cool summer.

No, I did too. I actually like hot weather, but only when I'm on holiday. At home, I like it to be cool enough for me not to get all sweaty at night for me to be able to go out for a run at a reasonable time (i.e. 10am) and not have to drag myself out of bed to run at 7am before it gets too bloody hot.

Nescafe Gold Blend is nicer than proper coffee.

McDonald's coffee is nicer than most fancy coffee shop coffee.

There. I said it.

Agreed!

Ad for sanitary products are too graphic and crude and embarrass me. Toilet rolls can advertise themselves without showing us what smeared poo looks like, so why not follow suit

I agree, but we will be told we are prudes :)

70mph is a perfectly reasonable speed limit on the motorway.

The Richard Osman books are terrible.

Agreed. I'm twelve chapters into the first one and just don't get the hype. It's boring! Shall I just give up???

FKATondelayo · 04/09/2023 18:13

I've only listened to one Richard Osman on Audible and every chapter felt like "have I hit the word count yet?"

Then in the little interview at the end he mentions how hard he finds it to write enough.

Rosie Jones is not funny.

I second this.

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 04/09/2023 18:48

Or worse, "Hubs" or "Hubsy"

Nothing wrong with "hubalub", though.

Yes. I like him, I think he's funny and clever, but he needs a better editor at the very least.

Quite a lot of tribute bands are better than the real thing (having seen both).

I don’t like shirt dresses.

Gym wear is for wearing at the gym not for slobbing around Asda.

Yep...there are some controlling and selfish dils on here and mumsnet encourages them.

I feel so sorry for so many of the MILs 'depicted' on here...

Wine tastes like ear wax with vinegar.

Idiots, yes, but they smell gorgeous.

Yes, plates should definitely be round. Square ones make me very annoyed indeed.

You are 100% correct 😁

Fawlty towers was overhyped rubbish

Tapasita · 04/09/2023 20:14

Ed Sheeran is ok but vastly overrated

Tapasita · 04/09/2023 20:17

People who go to the supermarket in pyjamas need to be held criminally responsible for making other people’s eyes bleed. And for thinking they’re very laid back and cool when in actual fact they just appear effing lazy and skanky

BadHairBae · 04/09/2023 21:07

Taylor swifts music is terrible.

I love a mocha ☕️

I have the Aldi sachets. I also like their cappuccino sachets!

Catsmere · 04/09/2023 21:59

Love, Actually was a dreadful film, sexist, unfunny rubbish.

TennisWithDeborah · 04/09/2023 22:01

football chants can be very funny

Laurence Olivier was an over rated, hammy actor.
J K Rowling books could do with a little editing...love her though!
Drag acts are revolting and make my skin crawl (i will probably get deleted)

Yes to all of these!
