I think Russel Crowe is incredible as Javert

Eggs are rank

My DH would agree with you. I don't mind them, but don't generally choose to eat them.

Cold toast is yuck. And jam on top of butter is just odd.

I hate baked beans, tuna and bananas - either separately or together!

@FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper - who did that to a tramp?! 😲

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.

@Maireas

Miriam Margolyes said she did (whether true or not).

@phewgal I really, really couldn’t agree with you more. I can’t watch anything she’s on and the way everyone falls over themselves to laugh hysterically at everything she says so they can appear ‘right on’ is ridiculous.

The majority of tattoos are crap. Having said that, the (rare) good ones are very enviable. I know it's a case of individual taste...but tattoo subject matter asides, a lot of them are just poorly executed whatever the tattoo is.
Tip: The guy who has that studio in the High Street is not an 'amazing tattooist'.

She's disgusting, whether it was true or not.

Hot weather and heatwaves are not nice at all
(Only ok on holiday with an accessible pool and a cold drink!) Not fizzy drinks though as they are just horrible.

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

yesss!!! just something else to look after. and a total waste of money

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 04/09/2023 16:59

She's disgusting, whether it was true or not.

She certainly is. She's never quite mastered the allure of vaguely hinting at something a little bit daring. She's essentially an older female version of Jay from The Inbetweeners.

Ant and Dec are awful.
99% of shows on ITV are absolute cack.
Starbucks coffee (and PSL) is vile.
Pineapple on a pizza is lovely.
Chain restaurants are, for the most part, microwaved shite.

AllAtSea53 · 04/09/2023 17:04

Dogs should be kept out of bars and restaurants

People who prefer dogs to babies are very strange, preferring another species to your own frankly freaks me out

Peas are disgusting, and stink

A good pie doesn't necessarily have to have a bottom, when it does the sauce to pastry ratio is often off and the base is either soggy or rock hard

Lunch is not dinner

Bacon is only bacon when it's smoked

Bootcut jeans swamp and look too try hard on anyone under 5ft10. They also absorb all the rain and dirt from the street.

Preparing for a flaming.

the80sweregreat · 04/09/2023 17:07

Having worked (briefly ) in a chain restaurant, I an agree the food is overpriced , mass produced and generally of poor quality. Catering packs of desserts that are cut up to look pretty and your paying more for one slice than the whole thing probably cost altogether. Many are a rip off.

whosaidtha · 04/09/2023 17:07

Put and putt are homophones

All air freshener smells disgusting

Hospital food is delicious

@Maireas

Miriam Margolyes said she did (whether true or not).

She also said she was cycling in traffic once and a man pulled up beside her in a car with the window down, waiting for the lights to change so she offered him a blow job 😳

Love Graham Norton but hate the way he loves her.

If MM were a man (and not famous), she would be on a register and have been forced to wear an ankle tag a long time ago.

Alcohol is a crutch for the vast majority of people that claim to enjoy it "to relax"

Yes, completely agree.

Cold garlic bread is delicious

It should be a criminal offence to refer to one's wife as 'Wifey' or one's husband as 'Hubby'.

Or worse, "Hubs" or "Hubsy" 🌹

toadasoda · 04/09/2023 17:45

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

FKATondelayo · 04/09/2023 17:48

On that note, I think 90% of films, TV and culture would be better if they adhered to the 1930s Hollywood Production Code (no kissing with tongues, no bed sharing, no swearing, no nudity).

The remaining 10% should be full frontal gore fests.

CassiniG · 04/09/2023 17:55

You shouldn't get in trouble if you knock someone off their bicycle if they are dressed in grey and or black and their bicycle is grey and or black and they don't have lights or reflectors on their clothing or on their bicycles.

Or if they are riding two or three abreast.

I have it on good authority that the Margolyes haters will one day be vindicated.

Oooh I await this with baited breath. Is she due her very own 'Me Too' moment, perchance?
