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

Tess Daly and the dark haired one. Claudia, is it? So dreary and just not funny. I want to shake Claudia and tell her to act her age FFS.

Oh I agree with prosecco... piss water. But I do love Champagne Smile

PeroniZucchini · 29/11/2018 19:44

Agree, most TV presenters.

PeroniZucchini · 29/11/2018 19:45

That TV presenter that thinks she’s younger than she is and is always in drama with younger men. Who is she and why is she famous? I keep seeing her on various news shites.

Elf on the shelf.

Pashal2 · 29/11/2018 19:58

Yeah I don't get brexit fuss either. Doesn't brexit mean that great Britain gets to be a free and independent constitutional monarchy, able to make it's own political and economic choices like they had been for almost 2k years already?

Vivianebrezilletbrooks · 29/11/2018 19:59

Boots Christmas advert makes me want to throw up.
Lush I also agree with. Overpriced.
Kylie also. She's only got where she is by having the right management team and right people behind her.

What are NANDOS? 🤔

MrPoppysGF · 29/11/2018 20:02

American programmes my DS insists on watching over breakfast with very annoying canned laughter every few seconds after unfunny one-liners. DS never ever laughs.

James corden
Lidl wine - yuk for the most part
Fizzy wine from lambrini to champagne
Tomato ketchup- bleagh
Smiling Face emojis - too fucking many and they don’t match any of my feelings/thoughts/whatever
CHRISTMAS MARKETS overpriced shit you don’t need in the first place. Fish skin wallet anyone?

AjasLipstick · 29/11/2018 20:19

Michael McIntyre

He's a little dickhead. He literally looks and acts and talks like a dickhead. WHY is he famous?? He's not funny at all!

imgoingtoloosemymind · 29/11/2018 20:19

This ridiculous fad where no one has shown their teeth in a photo since about 2014.
These stupid fucking pouts and half smirks. What is wrong with a nice smile??

TickyTacky · 29/11/2018 20:27

I am still reeling from the Tim Minchin comment on the first page. Tim is incredible :)

greeneyedlulu · 29/11/2018 20:29

You're not doing Christmas lunch right if that's how you feel about it and I love avocados!!
But here goes....
Perfume ads
Reality tv
Katie price
Over priced basic stuff like coffee
Burger king
Nandos

WhipItGood · 29/11/2018 20:31

I like gin. But I can’t think of all these wacky flavoured alcopop versions served in a goldfish bowl with a fruit salad and mint as gin. I wish they’d just left it alone.

I don’t seem to like most tv. Especially anything involving a baying crowd, 85 episodes and the inevitable phone in vote.

Boxed sets. Tedious.

Agree about Lush. Looks like it’s made at preschool .

Tea.

kardashians

Notso · 29/11/2018 20:42

Musicals,
Over use of pyjamas,
Making memories rather than just doing some stuff,
Taking pictures of everything all the time, particularly when it's just the same stupid selfie faces with a different background,
Naked and or shoved in a cocoon/daft hat/basket newborn photo shoots,
sushi,
Twinning,
Sayings like wankbadger/cuntpuffin etc along with overly swearing,
Instaslebs,

Probably loads more.

Moominfan · 29/11/2018 20:53
