Things you didn't expect to like, but do

[BiggyJ]

I really, really did not expect to like the Stacey & Joe TV show.
But I do 🤷‍♀️
Their whole set up is just lovely - extended and step family are just one big family
It's just an easy watch, very wholesome.

Strictly Come Dancing. Avoided it for years, loved The X Factor. Went off the X Factor and decided I needed another Saturday night watch. Bruce Forsyth had gone by then, never really liked him.So I gave Strictly a try, and got hooked!

Yes me too. Cheaper, but tastes exactly the same.

The Minecraft Movie. La la la lava, ch ch ch chicken!

Wicked stage show.

And this.

I know we all like different things but I absolutely hated it. Over two hours of hiphop and an incomprehensible plot. Excruciating. But I'm quite old. My 17 year old DD loved it.

Im old too I really enjoyed it.

I so would like to try this as it would be good for my gut. Just need to bite the bullet and try it. Did buy some from M&S not their brand and it sat in my fridge till I threw it out.

Well it moves quite fast as a lot of the songs are hip hop/rap so it can be hard to keep up with the story. But the songs are excellent & it's very entertaining

Guacamole and houmous

Doing the books for my DP’s small business. Hated maths at school but I find this kind off maths strangely satisfying.

Oh me too. Exercise has been a huge part of my life since I had pnd nearly 22 years ago. And even more so now I'm a member of David Lloyd.

Hated all exercise at school, especially cross country!

Running
Game of Thrones

The music of Billie Eilish

Ditto. Life saver.
Have several dear friends from that time 20 years ago.

Getting up early. I've just had to start getting up at 6 am since September, and after decades of being a hardcore night owl, I'm amazed that I actually love it. I just need to work on getting to bed earlier!

Same! I'm not into musicals and hate crowds, but absolutely loved this show. I've told my DD that I'll take her again at some point.

Johannesburg, South Africa. It wasn’t somewhere I would have thought to go (in fact SA in general was a place I would not really have thought to go) but a tour of Botswana ended there and it was a convenient place to fly out of to Mauritius. I ended up really liking it (the food was excellent, it was an interesting city with lots to see and do and of course the wine was excellent). I am now wanting to go back to SA as soon as I can, but encourage anyone going to SA not to skip a couple of days in Johannesburg - it’s very underrated.

Electronic dance music.
Birdwatching
Camping
Charity shops
Snakes
Gran Canaria
Shakespeare
Choral recitals

Benidorm! Amazing fun and beautiful too. Here in our caravan now for 8 weeks for the fourth time. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Yes to exercise.

I hated it when I was a kid, never did any, sucked at anything I tried.
Just had not tried the right things yet. Am now a fitness instructor. It has improved my life massively.

Cold pease pudding and ham sandwich ( tried it when visiting family in the North East).

Being a homebody, mum and baby groups, not bothering with my appearance, leggings.

It’s the Irish Sea! And yes, it has a great buzz 😃 I love spending time on the prom in Blackpool

The Book of Mormon (the broadway/west end show, not the religious text!).

I never really vibed with South Park (which has the same writers)... but the show was really fun and I still reguarly listen to the sound track! It also introduced me to Andrew Rannells who I now adore!
