Mine is everywhere I see everyone has a Pandora charm bracelet on.
Whilst I own the bow necklace and earrings.. I can't see the appeal in the charms :/ yet apparently they're the best thing according to my best friend.

I'm not sure on the majority view on here re Corbyn but in my birth family he has a die hard coterie of fans.

I can't speak my truth to them as it turns out they are v intolerant!

Oh my Biggie is that I don't mind Donald Trump. I mean I don't like him but he doesn't offend me and I sometimes find him hilarious when he breaks the social norms.( Saying to the Saudi potentate that umpteen millions is "peanuts to you guys!")

Plus a lot of the press outrage is over what looks like opening negotiating stances.

I also think he may do some good by out doing the likes of North Korean dictator who dont play by any fair rules anyway.

Also, dogs are horrible. Gross slathering things that have poo crumbs constantly stuck to their backsides. What's worse is the owners who treat their "fur babies" like children and let their dogs sleep in the bed with them

MN can be cliquey at times

Emma Thompson isn’t fabulous she is pretentious

I like Kayne West and that he doesn’t give a fuck and he doesn’t pander to public opinion (or didn’t not so sure now)

The Land Rover discovery is a boring rust bucket for people who don’t know how to drive.

Anybody who prioritises an animal over a child is a certifiable nut job.

boobingtonsmythe · 25/03/2018 02:22

Oh ffs I'm past caring. Just do what you've got to do. Have fun. Sick of thinking, "oh, what would my DH do?". Not relevant so hey ho. Whatever...

I will always find a human baby cuter than an animal one.

chocolate is nasty

Oh, how I envy this. Spend far too much of my time resisting chocolate and waiting until it’s the next day so I can have a portion again!

That humane and slaughter is a contradiction... there is no humane way to kill something that doesn't want to die.

Toadinthehole · 25/03/2018 04:07

Church going does one good.

Right wing commentators have more insight into current affairs and are better informed than their left wing equivalents.

The liberal arts and humanities have been taken over by left wing ideologues.

Women lie about who they fancy. They prefer bastards to nice men, whom they secretly think are drips.

The importance of sexual expression is overrated and society's obsession with it is very dull.

I sound like I'm 90!

That I hate those chain messages on my fb telling me I need to send to nine more friends,
To hate ads while I'm playing a game,
To think Ed Sheehan is a young man I'd love to adopt.

Skittlesandbeer · 25/03/2018 04:55

That members of your family of origin must absolutely be held in positions of eternal deep respect, and forgiven anything short of ‘6o’clock newsworthy’ level abuse.

At 46 I’m cheerfully letting go of the guilt, and merrily implementing low contact and no contact strategies with family. ‘Love is as love does’, and I’ve got so many beautiful friends I don’t spend enough time with.

Although you read about LC and NC situations on MN, there’s always a whiff of ‘but it’s your mum, you need to keep trying’. I’d rather spend my time/energy BEING a good mum, than trying to mend a broken one.

All dogs have the potential to turn and bite hard.

burdog · 25/03/2018 06:09

Shareholders are more than in their rights to receive dividends out of distributable profits. It's ok for companies to make profits. Listening to some areas of the right and left wing media you'd think this should be illegal.

Another one: the reason people get fat is because they eat too much. There may be various reasons WHY they eat too much, but no-one defies the laws of physics. If you eat more calories than you expend you will get fat. Eating more calories than you expend is why you are fat. Starvation mode is a myth.

I love the royal family. I feel fond of Prince Harry. But I don’t understand why Meghan is giving up get successful Hollywood career to spend her life shaking children’s hands.

I give money to animal charity, rarely to human ones. People have made a mess of earth, don’t see why animals should suffer for human selfishness.

Anyone who has intentionally cruelly treated an animal should serve a prison sentence.

I can sees it’s not ordinary on mn to like Pandora - I do.

No one in my rl discusses Brexit or shows the slightest bit of concern about it.

There should be some sort of means testing to pay for nhs usage, foreign nationals need to pay (so not that they shouldn’t be treated but that they should pay for the treatment). Payment for appointments possibly. Maybe people should take out some sort of health insurance.

KanielOutis · 25/03/2018 08:14

I don't think it's difficult to save. Live within your means. Don't buy things you can't afford and put a little by each time you get paid. It soon add up.

Watching sport is tedious.

The Olympics don’t inspire most people to be more active - just a load of very fit people being paid to do a hobby in public

Kingsclerelass · 25/03/2018 09:45

That being a nerd is good. Without their ability to invent things, life would be much less fun.

Thank goodness it’s not just me who feels this way. This is exactly how I feel and almost no one agrees with me, not even husband and bestie .

LoislovesStewie · 25/03/2018 10:30

I'm relieved that someone else dislikes the bloody Olympics, it's too tedious for words. And I don't get Ant and Dec.

BlurryFace · 25/03/2018 10:45

People here talk about how great our area is, but I think something must have gone wrong as it seems the population of functioning adults is increasingly fuelled by borderline alcoholism/anti-depressants/weed.
