BBQs ~ I loathe the stinky smoky things that ruin my washing on the (few) sunny days we get…. Selfish too…. Stinks the house out!

New Years Eve ~ just such an anti climax… luckily I’m too old to bother now!

Meals out … so many over-priced disappointments. I just cook whatever we fancy and save the money!

Cosmetics ~ promise so much for so much money & rarely deliver.

Aigle for me. Can't afford Camels!

Hunters were good years ago when they were made here but they outsourced to china and now they're awful.

Same with Dr Marten's now. My old pair from the early 90s are still in great shape. Got some new ones that barely lasted a couple of years. I go for Solovair instead now

Christmas
Non-electric cars, especially SUVs
musicals

ABBA voyage 'concert' - Agree 100%, it was rubbish. The only good bit was when they turned the avatars off and the live band and singers were the focus for a couple of minutes.

69- no thank you

Buck’s Fizz, tastes like you’ve left the orange juice open too long and it’s gone off

F1- bunch of cars going round a track

Richard Osman books- I tried so hard with these as I love Richard Osman but they are so fucking boring.

Socialism

Lifeomars · 20/03/2024 20:25

Nandos, had a meal there a few days ago, it was bloody vile, had a chicken burger, cole slaw and a coke. Nearly £20, the chicken was dry and tasteless and set off with a half a lettuce leaf and a sliver of tomato and the cole slaw was vinegary and very very reminiscent of Asda's budget range. Utter waste of money and I will never go there again

RosaMoline · 20/03/2024 20:26

Bunsick (those Korean hot dog things)

Memory foam mattresses, soo hot

Please expand more on Harry Potter land thing. Not a fan but gc are and when I researched tickets, it's a long drive for us and worked out at just under £350 just for tickets, which to my mind is extortionate for a day out

I think some people misunderstand what it is, and think it's an actual theme park. It's mostly just stuff to look at. I love it - I've been twice and want to go again, as they've added loads of stuff since I was last there!

Yy to musicals, salted caramel and Cenre Parcs (well, the idea of it anway - I've never been).

This is the worst cat I've ever seen.

I’m sorry cat people, but this made me laugh.
