The news is full of miserable shit.

Instant communication has probably in some ways added to the misery.

Mince is overrated.

Many people are actually kind when it comes down to it.

Hats should make a full-on 1920s comeback.

Rainbows and stars will never not be cool.

...Evidently I'm an opinionated person :D

Mince is handy though in some circumstances :D

So for me raisins in scones are a travesty. Why go to the hassle of making a lovely scone and then stick raisins in it?

The internet is one of the worst inventions of the modern era

Sultanas are far superior

Being cold is good for you

Best comfort food is toast with marmite, covered in hot baked beans and then grated cheese and grilled, with a sprinkle of vinegar.

Taylor Swift is really bloody annoying.

Tinsel makes Christmas and DH is a miserable sod for banning it

KenIsAnAccessory · 17/12/2023 13:32

Colour Christmas lights are best.

Dogs are better than people.

Assuming you share a home you should just buy some.

Pineapple improves a pizza!!

Christmas is disgracefully commercial and tacky these days, it's sad.

There should be over 40s nightclubs that start and end earlier. It's not fair that society won't let me dance anymore.

People who cancel plans at short notice without real reason are arseholes.

Sexy underwear is not worth the discomfort.

People doing the lowest paid and crappiest jobs deserve the most respect.

Social media is the work of the devil!

My BIL wrecks my head sometimes (just had to tell someone!!)

Travelling by train near Christmas is bad for your health.

Food of the gods, they are.

There is never enough snow in the UK.
Toast is underrated.
People who park on pavements should be put in the stocks.
Oh, we need to bring back stocks 😁

AreolaGrande · 17/12/2023 13:38

San Pellegrino is shit. Not fizzy enough. Supermarket own brand fizzy water is far better.

N.b. I am hungover amd drinking fizzy water as I make this observation.

Lighthearted @MrsPinkSky Lighthearted!

Fruit and nuts don't belong in chocolate.
Especially snickers and bounties ruining a good box of celebrations

Ozzyskye · 17/12/2023 13:45

The build up to Christmas is better than the day

Brussel sprouts should never be served without chestnuts

Softwintersun · 17/12/2023 13:46

Yellow cars should be banned.
Dinosaurs did not exist

SausageChopsBellyFlops · 17/12/2023 13:46

Woah woah woah @PuttingDownRoots I can just about get on board with taking the bounties out, but snickers? Thats a step too far 🤣

MamTDM · 17/12/2023 13:47

Blue Christmas lights are not festive at all, especially flashing ones outdoors. Blue lights are for emergency vehicles.

A box of celebrations should only contain bountys. Both blue and red.

Someone should make VPLs fashionable and save us a lot of angst.
