Would those of you naming the Maldives care to explain? I was contemplating throwing most of my savings at a once in a lifetime holiday there... What's the deal?!

Every TV soap ever made
Avocados (they taste almost soapy to me)
Saunas and steam rooms
Staycations
London Eye
Dark chocolate
Action movies (especially action movies featuring Tom Cruise)
The pub
Wireless headphones

However, I love a glass of bubbly and a pair of Uggs

Anything smokes that shouldn't be, I'm OK with bacon and smoked fish.

I've not been but from all I hear there's nothing to do unless you like snorkeling or diving. I have no interest in either so it's not somewhere that would ever be on my list.

Grey front doors
Black taps( show every bit of soap scum)
LVT flooring. Looks like plastic however much it costs.

One Day I just couldn’t watch the whole first episode

I was with you until about half way through the series. I was sick in bed at the time so carried on watching it even though I was telling my DH it was the worst thing I’d ever seen. Nothing like the book, no chemistry between the main characters, horrible to watch. And then all of a sudden it shifted. By the end I felt it was so special and they were both so good.

PoorlyCatmummy · 20/03/2024 23:47

Cruises!

Dilemma8188 · 20/03/2024 23:47

I wouldn't be opposed to lying on a beach reading a book for days. I am so drawn in by the images of the stunning beaches (I'm normally a backpacking type but I've always had a soft spot for all the marketing around the Maldives).

River swimming 😵

Any 'uplifting' British film drama with "Funny and Moving" The Guardian as its main poster review and starring any combination of Jim Broadbent, Judi Dench, Olivia Colman, Timothy Spall or Imelda Staunton.

Unless it also has either Maggie Smith OR Julie Walters in it, in which case. I'm in.

Also women who bang on and on about 'dresses with pockets' as if they are the sine qua non of female liberation.
