Unpopular opinions for the LIGHTHEARTED not the FAINTHEARTED! (iv)

[allsquareknickersnofurcoat]

Right then, lets keep it clean like 99% of the last one :)

I can't abide Julie Andrews - there I've said it!!

I don't care if she's a national Institution.

you'll have to run north then.....because I do like those two films in particular!!! No whistles for you this week.

I don't like the sound of music... Absolutely hate it. But DS threw a tantrum a year back because he was due a nap, but sound of music was on... I mean, full on tears and screaming when I mentioned nap time... He's not usually one for tantrums, either!

I hate chavs

I hate people in tracksuits especially ones with juicy written on them

I hate seeing overweight women in vest tops and leggings (size 20+ it is not a good look)

I hate people who let their children run riot in coffee shops and food places

I hate people who spit

Awaits flaming

I hate trackie bottoms with anything written on the bum. Ugh. Tacky!!!

I hate baby girls' outfits that say "sexy" or "hottie" on them. FFS, do not dress your 6-month-old like the high school tart!!!

Hahahaha - I'll be in Spitzbergen before you know it!

Here Runawaywife - borrow my flame retardant suit.

I am amazed at parents who allow their daughters to come to school in micro-mini skirts, orange make-up, Blackberries clutched in their hands and clanking with the weight of their bangles, necklaces and earrings.
And allow their sons to wear trousers slung around their ankles with their pants on view, and surely senior boys shouldn't be allowed beards?!

Salmo so funny you should say that - this is my great friend's FB status today!!!

' I get low slung. I really do! But when the belt is actually right under their butt cheeks????? Please please please please someone explain. I just need to stop laughing in the middle of streets. Or maybe I don't?! Continue.'

If my son was to wear his trousers like that I would make damn sure I pulled them down in public and humiliated him into wearing his clothes sensibly!

Fortunately big DDs only ever seem to wear trousers to school and DD1 is now sixth form so can wear her own gear. Unfortunately I will need to surgically remove her blackberry from her some day soon...But she's not orange

Yeah, that low slung? I fight off the urge to tell them to pull their trousers up... I don't see as much of it in Norwich as I did in Birmingham.

Also, WTH is the deal with Formspring? I mean, my niece is 12, and answered a question about anal sex on there the other day, which is posted to her facebook wall. It was met with a quick "WTF" from me, and, whilst on the phone to mum (who had also seen it), I found myself uttering "what is it with kids these days, acting like little sluts"... Rather worryingly, I'm only 26... But yeah. Ban formspring, FFS....

Also, trackies are for the gym. Or lounging around the house/doing housework. Not for co-ordinating with six inch hoops, wanderinng round with your hair scraped back, fag hanging from your mouth whilst pushing DC's in their pushchair while you hurl abuse at some random passer by...

Formspring is terrible. I know it's meant to be anonymous, but half these kids haven't a clue and link it their FB so the whole bloody world can see. It's banned at the kids' school. I know in some London schools there have been some awful cases of really really nasty bullying via FS as well.

at the image. Sounds just like the shopping centre in Wandsworth. It is also obligatory to call your darling offspring 'little shit', as in 'shut up you little shit' while they're busy talking to their clone mates. Although to be fair it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be. Norwich? Spent a lot of time up there in me youth! Used to go up there on Saturdays from school. Is that pub unofficially named 'The Murderers' still there?

My niece did actually get bullied through FS, which lead to me telling her to turn the anonymous stuff off.

Oh god... I wouldn't dream of talking to DS like that. I feel bad for telling him he's getting on my wick, when he is actually playing up. I think someone mentioned the ipod thing eafrlier too. I keep my ipod with me, but reserve it for after dropping DS at nursery, or when he dozes off on the way home.

I think the murderers is stiill there. I live about 20 miles from Norwich, so am only there during the day, usually. Don't head up that far for nights out.

salmo and peanut, I LOATHE The Sound of Music too! It's right up there in the Academy of the Over-rated, along with (deep breath) PJ Harvey's new album, Antony & the Johnsons, Atonement (book and film), in fact Ian McEwan in general (On Chesil Beach? Do me a favour) and Professor Brian bleeding Cox.

Ooooh - keep running BringBack - you're for it now!!

Especially the Prof Cox bit!

Going/forGold... You are my HERO... more, please :)

Also in the Academy of the Over-rated:

Anthony Hopkins. Dreadful old ham: 'I'm ACTING now!!!!'

Make-up. It's a big con. Fuck 'priming' and 'blending' and 'setting with powder'. You pay shedloads of money, spend ages in front of the mirror, and by the time you get to where you're going it's smudged/rubbed off/sunk into your skin.

Daniel Craig, specifically in James Bond, and his pouty simian lips and squat stocky torso. Yuck. Put it away.

Marks and Spencer. Dull, staid clothes (and the Autograph-type ranges are just as bad, and overpriced to boot). Not-quite-classic-enough-but-not-unusual-enough-either homewares. Overpackaged overpriced food.

Not in the Academy of the Over-rated, but will certainly prove unpopular: overindulging your child at the expense of loads of other people. Recent examples: parent letting kid ride around (small, busy, narrow-aisled) supermarket on huge unwieldy tricycle. And parent waiting patiently for kid to get out of (small, single) shop doorway while kid stands engrossed with a toy, while someone (me) waits impatiently to go in. What's wrong with 'Come out of the doorway, darling, so people can go in the shop'.? FFS.

If you were a bloke, I'd be asking you to marry me now, Gold...

BBGFG Yes everything you said including Ben " you must call me sir" Kingsley.
and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a loooooong yawnsome film experience.

Hate Chitty Chitty myself.

Kingsley! Well ... I saw him at a charity thing at the Old Vic for which he was the figurehead. Loads of thesps performing monologues based on the lives of kids and young adults in South Africa. Some of the actors had learnt their lines thoroughly, some had their scripts and glanced at them occasionally, but still made an effort to perform and to engage the audience. Kingsley came on last, stood and read his script without once taking his eyes off it. His manner and 'performance' suggested that he was reading a shopping list.

Tosser.

I hate Chitty also.

I have just given DD3 Smiley Faces and ketchup for lunch. She did have fruit for breakfast though.

Kingsley: tosser indeed

Fruit for breakfast....hmmmmmm....

Yes I do believe the raspberry jam in a jammy Dodger is widely regarded as one of your 5 a day

DS had MacDonalds on Sat and Pizza and chips on Sunday. I have been forcibly ramming broccoli down his throat since.

DD3 refused to eat her supper on Sunday and I refused to make her anything else. I won in the end

Afternoon all!!

Hoovering the cat is a legitimate alternative to brushing it in order to minimise cat hair-on-sofa syndrome.
