Things that everyone raves about that are actually shite PART 2

[LovelyTheresa]

Romcoms. Love Actually is the worst one, but it isn't the only one. I also loathe Notting Hill, Four Weddings, and most of the other ones as well. Pretty Woman is dire. I far prefer Old Hollywood screwball comedies. Some Like it Hot has to be the most perfect comedy ever, it is so funny and it is romantic without being schmaltzy.

Same...some lemon & herb chicken thighs with a side of halloumi and dirty rice followed by some fresh hot sugar donuts and a roll around with a lovely bloke for a couple of hours sound like bliss to me. Might have the food after though...don't want to be bloated and gassy for the sex.

👍🏻

Completely agree!!! And I'm an absolute musical fan! Just don't get the appeal of this one at all 😦

Omg yeah strictly - awful

Enjoyed this thread. Amy winehouse is one of the “27” club dying at the same age and for same reason ( drugs) as Hendrix Joplin Cobain. It’s added a layer of intrigue to her legacy and also the if only they had lived longer narrative. Drugs stealing their talent and lives

Biscoff

It's the crappy little biscuits from depressing work hotels!

The cult and fangirling of Chris van Tulleken.

THIS.

Couldn't agree more. Not a fan of American sitcoms. Just can't see the humour personally. That's what the canned laughter is for.
Musicals, not a fan either.

Oh my big one (and almost nobody seems to agree with me on this) is DAVID ATTENBOROUGH.

I can’t bear the whispery-voiced old pillock.

The Book of Mormon. I sat through it stony faced, people sitting near me were guffawing, I still don't understand why.

hen parties used to be a few babychams in the local now its 2nd mortgage for a posh do abroad with mega priced activities. just got way out of hand

posh nosh not enough to feed a sparrow

hyped up celebrities with no personality or talent getting on everything make you sick of seeing them

Oh my goodness i had no idea this was thing! I 100% agree thought, hes a smug git, his smarmy face gets on my nerves.

Baby Showers
Musicals
Frappe Coffee

Simon ‘self proclaimed travel expert’ Calder. Turns up in every airport or ferry related news item or magazine shows, where they gratefully receive his ‘expertise’.
I remember him advising Phil and Holly how viewers could circumvent initial holiday restrictions at the first rumblings of covid by taking weird routes or connecting flights through ‘safe’ countries. Why people continue to employ him I can’t fathom.

Getting my nails done ( gel nails )
That awkward time when they don't talk and you end up chatting crap to avoid the awkward silence , do them at home instead ...
Pulled anything .. pork, chicken hate the stringy look
Tymo straighter I brought to give me poker straight hair ... absolutely doesn't

Definitely agree with how awful spa days are. Having a swim is lovely but then you just sit around in a wet robe for hours and hours. The tedium is only broken by a tiny lunch and a rubbish massage. You can’t even read a magazine without getting print all over your damp oily skin. Just no thanks.

I've thought of another to add to my list. Radio "comedy" shows. Radio 4 keeps plugging their nightly comedy show and it's invariably utter shite. I think my record is about 5 minutes before I have to swtich over. I think there's something missing by not being able to see the actors / comedians, it comes over as too try hard.

Any winehouse - overrated. Changed her voice to mimic Ella Fitzgerald, not her natural voic.

Who?

Yes to centre parcs. It was more like what I imagined Butlins would be like tbh. Grim. And then the activities on site you could do twenty minutes down the road for a fraction of the price. The pool was good but way too many people who have no idea how to behave

Camping. Yeah, I want a homeless-themed holiday, brilliant.

Ryan Reynolds. I find him sinister; like he's playing the part of All Round Good Guy And Perfect Husband And Father but is totally different behind closed doors.

Designer stuff with the logo everywhere. I assume you bought your 'Dior' bag somewhere on the Costa Del Sol for €25 to be honest.

Whaaaaa! I couldn’t breathe for laughing when I saw it in NY. I’d give anything to have seen the original run with Josh Gad.

Thanks to someone who said that Uniqlo bag! And whoever said croissant bag. I'm a disabled lecturer who has been looking for a big crossbody bag for work! The Uniqlo was too small but a quick google search sorted me out!

A line has been crossed here!!! 🤣
