Just happened upon the last one and liked it, so ...

I don't think The King's Speech is that great a film; I think the directing was often unimaginative, cliched and banal and the script obvious. And Helena Bonham Carter wasn't that good.

Wait.... what???
Does someone fancy Golden Brown???

I'm going to bed before I get dragged into the home birth/hospital birth.

spiderslegs · 20/03/2011 23:34

Right - off to bed - g'night

worraliberty · 20/03/2011 23:36

Errrr my post saying 'don't knock a homebirth until you try it' was in response to....

homebirths are just plain odd

Silly, misinformed, spoilt?

No dear...just a mother who has experienced the hell of giving birth in hospital and the sheer luxury of giving birth at home Wink

Also, old enough to be the youngest of five children born at home Smile

I'm all for choices but really, opinions are better when born out of experience and not simply trotted out because hospital births are now 'all the rage' for healthy mothers.

Buhaboos are the very best in baby transportation.

bupcakesandcunting · 20/03/2011 23:40

I couldn't give a glittery shit if you choose to give birth in the middle of Piccadilly Circus at rush hour, frankly. Your birth, your baby, your choice. Can't see why anyone would get riled at someone else's choice.

Atheists spend more time obsessing about God than any religious person.

It is stupid to think that a spray of tea tree oil will keep nits away.

Public transport is expensive, dirty and unreliable.

Boden is over priced and boring.

Cars towing caravans should only be allowed on the roads between midnight and 6 am

cyclists should have insurance if they want to use public roads.

disabled scooters should have insurance and a test before being let lose in public.

Yes I said Gordon Brown. Am I to take it that there'll be little competition for his attention? Yay!

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 21/03/2011 00:20

Waitrose is pompous, over advertised shite.....BOOTHS is far superiour Wink

PrincessFiorimonde · 21/03/2011 00:23

Sweet and sour food is horrible.

Can't watch Jamie Oliver as he looks as if he spits as he cooks.

Tarkovsky made a load of pretentious films.

Salman Rushdie novels are unreadable.

And this thread may not still be here in the morning...

Meat eaters are ignorant, unaware, or in denial and deep deep down know it's WRONG.

Harry Hall isn't funny.

Beauty treatments are not "pampering" or "treats". They are boring and fiddly, and count as tedious maintenance, much like going to the dentist.

Smoking, pierced ears on babies/toddlers, fake nails, dummies, and hair extensions are all unbearably common.

People who don't speak BBC/posh English are fick innit.

Most smokers do smell of stale fag smoke all the time, even if only slightly.

Boys should not have long hair.

Adults who go to Disney without taking any children are dribbling morons who probably shouldn't be allowed to travel unaccompanied.

Children under the age of 5 should not be allowed on planes. Airlines should investigate child-free flights, or creating a soundproofed "family cabin" on planes flying long haul.

Animated films are for children. I don't care how amazing the plots are or how witty the scripts. Watch a proper film.

ShirlyWhirly: you are SO RIGHT about the 4x4 blondes!

PrincessFiorimonde · 21/03/2011 01:11

Seeker: you are dead right (how could I have missed that out?). Harry Hill is not funny at all.

perfumedlife · 21/03/2011 01:45

Professor Brian Cox is not sexy, indeed has a moonlike, rubber face which will age badly.

Gordon Brown will never be tempted ladies, Sarah Brown is his beard.

Annie Lennox is the work of the devil.

Other people's children are of little interest and I am only being polite by listening, nay, suffering, your innane drivel.

I so would go there with Lee Mack Confused

Feminism is just ranty man hating an no one cares if you shave your legs and pits

CheerfulYank · 21/03/2011 04:28

I like meat. And the deer my husband shoots had a way better life/death than most livestock. For that matter, I've really no problem with guns.

I think a home birth would be nice, but it's not for me; next time I'm having the fecking epidural in the parking lot!

I'd shag Russell Brand sideways. :o

And...

I like being an American.

Hereforlife · 21/03/2011 06:45

Most of the Ops in relationships and AIBU are made up or very heavily biased, some serious re-writing of history going on.

'I've done nothing wrong ever' 'he,she,mil is awful'

'you sound perfect op and are clearly in the right'

Really? You know that from what's been written?

I would love to hear the other side of the story.

4FoxAche · 21/03/2011 06:48

5.30am is not a reasonable time to wake up in the morning and sing, squeal and chat away to yourself until you have managed to wake the entire household up.

Yes, I'm talking about you ds2.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

brandnewcombineharvester · 21/03/2011 06:49

Most after school 'improving' activities are a waste of money

All tattoos are horrible

Whether you breastfeed or bottlefeed is just one small part of your child's life, not the be all and end all

Little boys with skinheads or really long hair don't look good

Some of the most sensible parents I know were teen parents

Having a cleaner is a bit lazy

The concept of having pets and having another species live in your house is a bit weird

Chocolate, fruit shoots, cake, fizzy drinks , mcDonalds and sweets are not the work of the devil

onlion · 21/03/2011 06:50

Brian cox's voice is like a whiny whiny baby and I cant listen to him because he bores me

onlion · 21/03/2011 06:56

It is not compulsory to like a stepchild just because they are they child of your spouse. Its not like magic you know.

Vegetarians are not fussy eaters, they are sentimental twunts who no doubt use low energy lightbulbs made in the coal-powered sweatshops of China & shipped over 3,000 miles so that they can look even more deathly pale over dinner.

Ha ha ha ha haha ! Grin

feeblephoebe · 21/03/2011 08:21

vegans are on the whole pretty odd with a whole host of issues going on (none to do with food)
