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.

Huge 4x4s are awful cars, driven by selfish, chavvy people.

NeverMetACakeIDidntLike I’m not even a little bit gay.

Donald Trump isn't that bad.
Brexit will have positive effects in the longer term

That I stay a "healthy" weight not because I'm lucky but because I eat real food in sensible portions at mealtimes only and am active everyday.

completely agree with this. Unfortunatly we have worst people than trump in charge of counties in this world and Brexit will have good and bad.

People are sheep, they just regurgitate what they hear and can’t think for themselves....

That everyone is a bit gay. Genuinely believe this.

I dont believe this. And I AM a little bit gay.
People who say this about straight people dont go telling gay people that theyre all a little bit straight do they??

This will go down well but l am not eternally grateful ( as l should be apparently) to the people who fought for equal rights over past decades. Mainly because women my age have been served a massive negative effect from a lost six years of state pension (did they really think they would lower the men's state pension age to sixty !) and before anybody bleats 'But yes you are entitled to equal pay to a man in an equivalent job thanks to these people fighting for your equal rights'...... well no we are too old to reap it back in equal pay in the workplace unless we work into our seventies.

I don’t understand why people go out and get paralytic then complain about it the next day. Like why drink, it doesn’t solve your issues if anything it creates more. Maybe I feel like this because I grew up around alcoholics but just don’t understand the want to drink. I used to drink aged 14 but never ever got drunk, I haven’t drunk since I was 15. I still have fun by drinking a plain Jane lemonade. Maybe a mock tail...
I know it’s suppose to be lighthearted but just had to throw this out there.

SnowJokeAnymore · 28/03/2018 20:26

Bahhhhhumbug I agree with you. I know quite few in that age bracket and they were disadvantaged at the start (fewer opportunities) and the end of their working lives.

MissionItsPossible · 28/03/2018 20:38

Despite not being a fan or reader of either, the likes of The Daily Mail and The Sun get accused of having and pushing agendas far more than the likes of The Guardian and The Observer when they do the same.

95% of children in adverts irritate me.

I don't really like chocolate.

I think it's dangerous that women wearing niqabs drive.

YoloSwaggins · 28/03/2018 20:48

I hate Beyonce and every song she's ever made

midnightmisssuki · 28/03/2018 20:50

Capital punishment. I have personally been affected by this so this is why.

midnightmisssuki · 28/03/2018 20:53

Sorry guys I see this is lighthearted! Ok then Nutella is VILE.

YoloSwaggins · 28/03/2018 20:54

Oh and I love Frankie Boyle, Jimmy Carr and Ricky Gervais. I don't think any subject is exempt from having a joke made about it.

TakeMeToTheFresh · 28/03/2018 20:59

Grey interiors - looks shit

Converse/Vans on Over 40's don't look right

I like TOWIE and think it's good to just watch a bit of nonsense

Fluffynuts · 28/03/2018 21:00

I didn't attempt to breastfeed as I didn't want to. I was far from disappointed with myself etc I didn't give a shit. Formula all the way

Thirtyrock39 · 28/03/2018 21:40

I like Ross in friends

battenbergbutterfly · 28/03/2018 21:44

I hate theme parks

MrsLaurac · 28/03/2018 22:14

My husband earns the majority of our money, even though I work full time I wouldn't have the life I have, the house i live in or be able to afford the car I drive and he makes sure i keep the manority of my earnings for my own pleasure .. for this he works long hours and stressful hours often bringing bits home so in return I try to not let him lift a finger (even though he often insists) at home because I don't think he should have to.

Oh and sex isn't that important

Bahhhhhumbug · 28/03/2018 23:28

Thank you Snowjoke l actually almost fell out with a female friend who is nearly two decades younger. She was talking about how wonderful it was one of the large supermarket chains had to pay its mainly female cashiers a large payout including several years backpay after losing an equal pay appeal (comparator being the mainly male warehouse staff.) Fair enough and l agreed this was marvellous and very fair etc. But then she went on to say how grateful we should be as women to these tireless campaigners and how much things had improved for women over the last fifty years and so on. That's when l made my point about actually not having much reason to be grateful along with other women my age who had always worked for a lot less than male counterparts and were too late to benefit from equal pay now on top of having six years of state pension taken away. There was wine involved and it got pretty heated as she was horrified at my 'anti feminist' views. We are still good friends but stay away from politics now on our 'ladies who lunch' Grin

HoHoHoHo · 29/03/2018 00:40

I think it's understandable that people chest if their partner decides they don't want sex anymore
Not right but understandable.

Ragwort · 29/03/2018 10:11

People who bleat on about 'not being able to make friends' usually just can't be bothered to make the effort - you see it time after time on here, every reasonable suggestion (not just evening classes Grin) is met with 'I can't do that because .... '. I meet quite a few people in RL who say they can't make friends ............. there is usually a reason for it. Grin.

Wheresmyfuckingcupcake · 29/03/2018 10:20

Ragwort, I think that’s really horrible.
Did you watch the programme about autism on C4 last night? If not you should - and try and approach it in a compassionate frame of mind.

SnowJokeAnymore · 29/03/2018 10:23

Ragwort I've moved around a bit and some places are tougher to crack than others.

AntiquePsychopath · 29/03/2018 10:25

I think skinny jeans look awful on anyone over 20 and especially on men of any age and I HATE manbuns
