Surely all religions?

the ancient bits of the old ones are so fun though. Dragons! Many armed gods! Living to a million years old and commanding the seas with staffs! Much more interesting than all this bobbins about forgiveness and purity.

I see where you are coming from. Who doesn’t love a good fairy tale? 😄

Oversized waterproof coats that used to be the preserve of cold water swimmers who would get changed under them - now seen on a high street near you.

Traitors - over dramatic, dragged out and not very likeable people. I’ve not met anyone else who doesn’t like it so assume I’m the odd one. I usually like Claudia Winkleman.

Nope - didn’t like it either. My dear, the people! Unwatchable.

Been said before, but the London Eye. Can’t stand heights and get motion sickness. Somehow I’ve been on it 3 times (all ‘lovely’ surprises) 😂

SirChenjins · 20/03/2024 20:57

Gap years - Africa does not need another middle class kid with no building skills.

Allthatwegotisthispalebluedot · 20/03/2024 20:57

Eating meat. It is disgusting.
Having children.
Taylor Swift.
Watching television.
Interesting that someone else said the Maldives! It has never appealed to me either (although other Indian Ocean destinations definitely do!).
Living anywhere outside of London.
Joined up handwriting.
Airfryers.

They're a very oversized, knee-length cagoule, mostly in camoflage print, that is lined with toweling, mostly day-glo pink. Originally designed for people to put on to keep warm after swimming outdoors or doing other watersports.

Once people get one they almost without exception live in them and now, in my seaside town, they can be seen constantly and everywhere including in the cinema and at Sainsbury's.

Right, I'm with you! A towelling robe!

I'm a diver and bought one several years back.....and have never used it!
