David Beckham. He looks like he should be working on the dodgems at the local fair

Tom Hardy. So average!

Christmas dinner. Bland meat, smelly veg and only ever so slightly redeemed by pigs in blankets and cranberry sauce.

Restaurants that serve me food on something that's not a plate. I once had a chickens and leek pie in a mess tin FFS.

Camping. Trips away and holidays are supposed to be enjoyable, what is fun about sweeping bugs out your home in a morning and freezing half to death on a night

Harry Potter. It's shit.
Gin. See above.

The right Christmas dinner cooked well can be AMAZING though (but turkey is the worst kind of meat, replace it!)

Holly Willoughby - boring, bland, fake.
Strictly Come Dancing - Random sportsmen and old pop stars jiggling around in satin and sequins in front of a panel of hammy old has beens.
Gin - been around for years, everyone always preferred vodka til PR company decided to resurrect it.

Avocado - tastes like tramps socks and has the consistency of a soggy bar of soap.

I’m gonna say that almost everything on these lists are ALWAYS things that barely anyone thinks is good in the first place

Usually just a good reason for people to be snobs about stuff. Predict HD brows / long nails / fake tan within a page or two!

OwlinaTree · 27/11/2018 22:54

I'm not a snob! Wow defensive or what!

InspectorIkmen · 27/11/2018 22:54

Definitely avocado. Revolting slimy boak-green sminge.
Benedict Cumberbatch.
Drama-esque Christmas ads
Brexit

HD brows
Long nails
Fake tan

Shirleyphallus · 27/11/2018 22:55

Wow defensive or what!

Not defensive, but these threads come up every few weeks / month or so and it is inevitably filled with things that no-one ever professes to love. Davina McCall and Holly Willoughby, for example.

Shirleyphallus · 27/11/2018 22:56

Thanking you @InspectorIkmen Grin
