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.

When it's with someone who you just 'click' with sexually it's truly the most amazing experience. I can't get enough of it with my partner and I used to be not fussed with previous partners.

I knew somebody would try to tell me I just hadn't met the right man.
Not the case at all I assure you and judging from the number of "thanks" I have received a good few others agree.
If you said you didn't like ice cream I wouldn't tell you it was because you hadn't tried Haagen-Daz.

Cake. It's usually dry and disappointing....not worth the calories.

Instagram. Addictive and damages people's mental health.

The Beatles. Seriously overrated.

Your Song by Elton John. I fucking hate every second of it. Particularly the words that a 5 year old could do better. "If I was a sculptor, but then again no" and rhyming "words" with "world". Can't believe that this song kick started his career. I like some of his other stuff though

To be fair. He doesn't write the words. You can blame Bernie Taupin for those. Not crazy about it myself tbh, but it was pretty much the first thing they did.
Similarly, Under Pressure. Queen and Davis Bowie together and that's the best they could come up with!? It's pants.

Elon musk & Twit & Pestlas
Overly loud parenting
Stick on toenails
Greta thunberg
Trump
Anything candle related (if you are trying to be green)

Yeah you're right but I just have to hear the first opening piano bars for me to want to exit wherever I am immediately.

I do love Under Pressure though!

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.

Yes!! I thought my sister and I were the only one to see it, so glad someone agrees with us. I get such a vibe from him.

Hot weather - especially when it gets over about 25°. I just want to lie down in a dark, cool room.

Ditto. I fail to see what is so wonderful about existing in stifling heat when all you feel is tired, sweaty, uncomfortable with wet knickers and leaving sweat patches on seats. 😳 Rather unpleasant and totally over-rated. 😂

If I had the money I'd seriously consider migrating somewhere cooler (or whatever the opposite of hibernation is) for the summer and then complain it's too cold there

Hard agree on Ryan Reynolds.

He is a bit sinister isn’t he? I bet he’s a real prick behind closed doors.

Also he seems to think he’s absolutely hilarious and…he isn’t really is he? No more hilarious than any other actor.

He's just a bit too practiced and deliberately twinkly.

I’m with you on that. Would love to cancel the whole thing.

Shark hoovers. Don't feel ours has lasted any time at all

Same. And I'll add expensive coffee; so overrated.

Oooh this reminds me, I'm adding Starbucks to the list. Vile, overpriced, soul-less atmosphere.

Ryan Reynolds! YES 100% overrated and smuggest man on earth

WouldUSayImWorthy · 31/07/2024 15:06

OMG feel quite worried that him and Blake Whatserface might come after me for turning the tide of public opinion 😆

FayeGreener · 31/07/2024 15:24

I kind of miss the days when Hollywood stars were just unashamed eye-candy and didn’t spend their time pretending to be likeable/relatable/cuh-razy.

Thatsnotmynose · 31/07/2024 15:28

Ryan Reynolds is a masterpiece of curated PR.

Picnics.
Gigs.
BBQs.
Museums and art galleries (unless it’s something really impressive.)
Sushi.
Taylor Swift.
Bristol.
Oxford.

Yes!

Gigs.. the studio album always sounds better

Barbecues ... just cook on the oven and take it outside, no?

Sushi... it tastes of cold rice - what's special about it?
