I think Russel Crowe is incredible as Javert

James Arthur is dreadful!

So is Miriam Margolyes.

Dirty dancing is a dreadful film
La la land has the best ending of any recent film I've ever seen ( and I know it's not that recent now !)

Costa hot chocolate is far better than Starbucks

Harry Styles is deeply unattractive and his singing is awful.

CassiniG · 04/09/2023 13:52

Tea is vile.

Adele has an awful voice

Yes!

I hate the heat. The country isn't made for it. This summer has been a blessing and I'm pissed off about the coming 'heatwave'. It had its chance.

I like Bayliss & Harding hand soaps.

Moussaka would be better without the aubergines.

Taylor Swift is an average singer at best.

And even though her music is catchy, I don't get the insanity around her latest tour and the circus of getting tickets.

I think this is actually fact- they did a blind taste test with some coffee boffins and McDonald’s won.

On a trip to France some years ago, we discovered that the coffee in McDonalds in Paris was particularly excellent, and was far better (and considerably cheaper) than the ooh-la-la cafe variety.

Nutella is over sweetened mush.
Four weddings and a funeral is an enjoyable film.
All the James Bond films are dreadful.
Dogs should never be allowed in shops at all. Or cafes and restaurants.
A bean to cup coffee machine makes the best coffee, because you can adjust to taste.
Pointless is a dreadful programme and has no place on TV. Ditto even more Mrs Brown’s Boys.

I'm not a fan of desserts

KimWexlersPonyTail · 04/09/2023 14:04

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)

SpilltheTea · 04/09/2023 14:04

Tea and coffee are equally disgusting.

Dontcallmescarface · 04/09/2023 14:05

David Attenborough is a patronizing old git.

  • Hot sunshine is really unpleasant
  • Cats are sly, sadistic and horrible, with evil eyes
  • The vast majority of films and TV dramas are unwatchable
  • A refined RP British accent sounds lovely
  • The vast majority of pop songs are awful – especially the lyrics
  • Most people secretly dislike a lot of their friends
  • Books are more interesting than people
  • Picnics are impossible because of the insects
  • Junk food is delicious
  • Alcohol is a rubbish drug
  • I'm proud to be English and British, mainly because of our literature
  • The Royals are an embarrassment and should never have been restored in the 1660s
  • Frank Skinner isn't funny

A bunch of flowers is an awful gift. You put them in a vase, watch them die slowly then bin them.

tattygrl · 04/09/2023 14:11

Sorry, can't help it. I am here to refute that McDonald's coffee is good (let alone the best!), and that cold, burnt, buttered toast is anything other than disgusting.

You're all heathens.

LadyMuckingabout · 04/09/2023 14:13

Women’s football just isn’t very good… I have tried, but nope. I enjoy a lot of women’s sport, including rugby, but the football is dull.

I agree MacDonald’s coffee is very good. I actually took part in a trial before they relaunched it because they wanted “to appeal to people like me” (middle-aged boring woman!).

Solange has a better voice and makes better music than Beyonce.

CassiniG · 04/09/2023 14:19

Solange has a better voice and makes better music than Beyonce.

100% agree.

Baneofmyexistence · 04/09/2023 14:21

I don’t like dogs.

I don’t like Adele.

I hate Starbucks and their shit pumpkin spice.

CassiniG · 04/09/2023 14:22

Spiders should be killed not taken for a walk outside so that they can get together with other evicted spiders and form a pack and then plan a home invasion.

ThirtyThrillionThreeTrees · 04/09/2023 14:22

Coffee is the greatest con job of all time.

It controls far too many people's moods and is significantly over priced.

CassiniG · 04/09/2023 14:24

Bootcut jeans look awful unless you have legs as long as Elle Macpherson.

Skinny jeans on men look just as bad.
