The Sistine chapel i have never been so underwhelmed in my life, small crowded so dark you cant really see the paintings on the ceiling

So you didn't scream ?

I thought @Isseywith3witchycats was referring to the thread for a second 😂

seeitthroughmyeyes · 20/03/2024 23:15

Centre Parcs. So hugely overpriced and boring as fuck.

My memory is vague now but wasn't it really big mainly because it was the first 3D movie in a while? 3D TV became trendy for a year or so after that lol

whynotwhatknot · 20/03/2024 23:18

maybe but i just didnt get it

MalvernValentine · 20/03/2024 18:30

Pleased to see others not getting the centre parcs, musicals, Hp studio and Calla lilly hype!

I'll add:
Great British Bake Off
All inclusive holidays
Coffee

I think an all inclusive holiday someone else had paid for would be great. I just can’t bear to pay so much and have to eat in the resort all the time to get my moneys worth.

Scandi 'noir' thrillers

'Dirty' fries

Macaroni cheese, on bloody everything nowadays

Gin

Cocktails

Strongly agree re cocktails, I love a beer or a glass of wine but cocktails just taste like alcohol to me

Tik Tok. Never downloaded it, never will. People with 0 brain cells on it 24/7 and making a living out of it. Crazy.

And how exactly have you formed such a strong opinion on it if you’ve never even used it?

That was my experience too but then saw it here (scotland) and it was definitely green squiggles to the naked eye - some purple as well. keep trying (if u can be arsed)

Yes, if you see them properly they are even better than the photos. We saw them once in lapland huge green curtains covering the whole sky and moving.

The theatre. The only thing I've enjoyed was Sooty and Sweep live when I took DS 😁

TheGhostOfKatesProlapse · 20/03/2024 23:30

Gin
Musicals
Any "talent" shows - always 80% cringeworthy and just horrid to watch people being used for entertainment on a national stage and profit for Cowell et al.
Jobs. I mean I am sure some people do enjoy them, but most don't, right? Why is it the first thing we talk about to each other?

The Maldives

And the Seychelles! Utterly shit food and shit weather.

LeekAndPot · 20/03/2024 23:31

Dogs - expensive, unhygienic, mostly badly trained and crap everywhere in public.

Deadlinesaredickheads · 20/03/2024 23:32

Pets. Too much work

seeitthroughmyeyes · 20/03/2024 23:32

@MaloneMeadow because it's absolutely everywhere you turn. It's unavoidable...

Scones

They completely fall apart and feel like you’re chewing a bag of dry flour

Feel the same way about potatoes but feel I'd be on my own there...
