...to NOT 'get' the absolute love and adoration for.....

[BeckerLleytonNever]

Adele. (only average singer and songs)

Kylie (only 'talent' is wearing as little as possible)

X factor- always the same

The voice

Strictly

Simon Cowell.

TOM jONES -GREAT SONGS, GREAT VOICE BUT A TWUNT (oops, caps lock!!)

Daniel Craig/newer james Bond

Downton

call the midwife

anything big fat gypsy/Essex/chelsera/Geordie/housewives...

Kardashian.

Jose Mourinho (footy fans think hes a god, but hes a mysoginist and bully)

David Bekham- walking tattoo parlour, throwing toys out of pram when he was playing footy, frowning and thinks that's sexy, always showing his bulge, so obviously after a knighthood as if hes the only person whos ever played footy.

I know everyones got different tatses and things, but the worshipping for all the above (and Im sure Ill think of more).....I just don't get it.

anyone else? or am I just an old grouch?

I know. Here we are busily beavering away being hilarious and controversial and not a peep...

neither do I care about Star Wars, yes it's epic but...yawn. I think Kelly would have won Strictly if she chose another favourite dance haha.

@ goblin thing. I'm going to have to take the kids to see it and I know even now I'll be bored out of my tiny mind.

Do you know what I really hate: people who describe football as 'footy'.

But then we all have our little foibles and I could fill thread after thread with things I don't like.

And no, not all 'footy' fans like Jose. I for one find him a self-aggrandising pillock. I imagine a lot of football fans outside of West London feel that way.

Im not saying people should like what I like and dislike what I like, I just don't get the fuss about them.(like Adele for example, the media makes it like shes the only singer in the world and 2 albums and shell probably get a damehood for them).

BTW I don't actually watch the programmes I listed, and yy I forget Jeremy kyle and jerry springer etc, and yy to all the benefit programmes too.

just having a observational gripe . bah humbug! .

Sparkling I don't 'get' why people start threads and don't return to them

Because I have a pay as you go dongle thing and don't have unlimited internet use and can only go online for a wee bit in some evenings as I have a disabled child to see to.

not leaving thread, I hate it when posters don't carry on either!

Oh good you're back.

And Im off again . end of internet time for today.

see you in few days....merry Christmas all. [santa]

Think positive OP!

I will look out for the next AIBU.

YABVVVU about Downton. And a tiny bit U about Tom Jones.

The rest I agree with.

the only two you are wrong about are

Beckham:- An amazing comeback from a mistake.

And

Mourinho:- Its (mainly) only chelsea fans that think he is special

They won't think mourinho is so special when he goes to Man U.

I like some on your list, but i do not adore or go OTT, they are only human beings at the end of the day!
Celebrity culture is very silly. Im sure its getting worse.
