Popular things you wouldn't even do for free... (Glastonbury for me)

[BringYourOwnBullshit]

Me? Glastonbury. There isn't enough vodka in Russia to get me there. Too many people, too much noise, hay fever, having to piss and shit (both of which I need to do a lot) in shared portaloos probably with no bog roll, not having a proper shower or proper anything wash wise, feeling sticky and unclean, not having a real bed to sleep in. The list goes on and on and on. If someone offered me £50,000 to go from the very beginning to the very end I'd probably consider it but even then I doubt I'd bite. If I did I'd probably die of misery by day two anyway. Utter, utter misery.

What's yours?

No, you don't find an entire society built on sleaze and vulgarity in 'any country in the world'.

Any music festival. Cruise on a huge ship. Holiday in Dubai. Anything spa related. Have my nails done.

Funfair
Circus

A hen do abroad

All of the above - basically anything busy, noisy or hot. I cannot fathom why people spend a fortune on holidays in which they cram themselves onto packed beaches to get all sticky and sandy. Disney would be my worst nightmare, and I did one day at a festival in my late teens and that was plenty. Loved the music, hated the crowds, the toilets were unspeakable and I ended up with my first full-blown migraine, queuing for the first aid tent to be given two paracetamol. I am all for the quiet, safe, gentle life. Give me a shady woodland walk and a nice cup of tea and I'm happy.

Big city breaks with kids

Glastonbury too probably

Skydiving

Go to Dubai.

Watch Les Mis at the theatre (did it once, never again)

Go to a Christmas sound and lights trail. Dark, probably damp and wet (yes I've done that one too)

Couldn't agree more. We went to Florida and people could not understand why we didn't want to go to DisneyLand and Universal Studios. Like literally couldn't fathom it! My kids couldn't think of anything worse x

Dubai
disney
marathons
music festivals
concerts
gender reveals
hen do
lip fillers
tough mudder
Hyrox

Nothing on earth would entice me to go to Disney Land. Well maybe 1 million pounds might.......😂

Go to Dubai. Looks bloody horrible.

Going on foreign holidays (too much stress travelling far,)
Going to the pub
Festivals
Going to the theatre
Having beauty treatments (nails, hairdresser etc)
Going to watch sport
Hen dos
Going out for drinks with colleagues (whole work do), will go for a cuppa with work friends though.
Theme parks
National Trust properties (taken to too many as a child, destroyed any pleasure in them)

I just crossed the Atlantic on the QM2. I don’t like cruises either … maybe try a ‘crossing’. Seven days at sea. Brooklyn to Southampton - I absolutely loved it!

Eat any kind of food served in a bucket.
Be a contestant on a reality show
Go on stage for any kind of audience participation
Watch Lord of the Rings or Star Wars

I've been there and could not be paid to go back - the talk was all about how men and women are not equal, but different. Shudder.

Currently watching Alanis Morrissette from the comfort of my sofa after a lovely meal with wine.

Dubai - effectively a series of shiny shopping malls in the desert, built off slave labour. No thanks.

@Imicola my friend's sister used to work on cruise ships, the stories she told put me off for life! Norovirus outbreak anyone??

Watch Rod Stewart.

Watch any kind if vacuous people on reality TV.
eat a cheap takeaway
go on a cruise

Yes, unbearable

Body pump or HIIT class or similar- too tired, old and achy
Bottomless brunch- don’t drink (and too tired old and achy)
Any theme park- have vertigo (and too tired, old and achy)
Axe throwing- just too tired, old and achy
Abba voyage (can’t stand abba)
Anything “sing a long” can’t sing and am socially awkward

Can you tell I’m peri-menopausal 😆

Anywhere that charges £ double figures for a drink.

My DS calls it ‘Hot Meadowhall’ 😁

I'm reminded of a recent thread where a woman was justifying taking her daughter out of school for "the holiday of a lifetime".
Most people were urging her to go, ignore the school etc.
It turned out to be a trip to Disneyland!
