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

Oh boy mines gonna be a long list!

Brad Pitt - too pretty boy shit actor
David beckham - classless and somewhat effeminate voice puts me off

The new/current male hotties - Tom hardy, Jamie Dornan, Chris Evans, changing Tatum, Chris Pratt

Too boringly standard good looking, shit actors no charisma

Gin - smells & tastes like disinfectant 😷 "everyone always preferred vodka til PR company decided to resurrect it." Yes! Much prefer vodka, though ideally spiced rum.

Disney - yes the whole misogynistic, racist, homophobic, over commercialised, over priced machine!

Love Nando’s, Ed Sheeran, and Tom Hardy.

@Graphista
Disney 😱
I love Disney

I agree with the Fiat remark. The same for smart cars. They look like the driver is trapped inside a sports shoe trainer.
Also electric cars. They are wrong in so many ways.

No nut November and men constantly posting about their cocks/wanking, grow the fuck up you absolute imbeciles. I might be quite looking forward to watching the new black mirror episode, not going to finger myself about it.

Elton John . Can't understand what people think is so great about him and now he's all over the TV in the John Lewis Christmas ad I find him even more annoying.

DoYouLikeBasghetti · 27/11/2018 23:27

Everything on tv. (I don't even have tv anymore).

Everything on social media (which I'm also not on).

Makeup and fashion nowadays (fakery and wierd arses).

At the tender age of 40 I've missed my mum out and turned into my grumpy grandad Grin

Tattoos

Agree about David Beckham. Actually all of the Beckhams. Vicky obviously (although kudos for not reuniting with the other Spice Girls) and her offspring, who will never be lab technicians, lawyers, estate agents. They will be something in the public eye (models, photographers etc) so we will never be rid of them.

X-Factor

Victoria Coren Mitchell, clever but so smug.

Vodka

Cheeky Nando's, Subway, Greggs or McD.

Selfies.

Choux pastry - so tasteless and has a really weird, skin like texture
Twitter- just stresses me out
U2 and Coldplay- bland
Men who claim to be feminists when it's obvious they're just trying to use it as a chat-up tool

Gin. An amazing marketing campaign and now it is everywhere with increasingly wierd flavours. I am probably wrong as I have always hated it, but I am sure I read somewhere that rather than being lovingly brewed it is easy to add a flavour so very easy to up-sell. I am not that old but it was basically the tipple of the golf set and frustrated housewives until someone decided to make fudge flavour. It is like alcopops all over again without the moral outrage.

adoggymum · 27/11/2018 23:30

Lip fillers- almost 99.9% if ones I've seen look awful.
Boob jobs- you can always tell
Roast Dinners (always hated them and don't like meat, gravy etc)
Tea- bleugh
Excessive amounts of makeup on face.

recklessruby · 27/11/2018 23:30

I agree Elf on the shelf and people's constant Facebook updates about what the little freak has done that night followed by an annoying cutesy picture Hmm

adoggymum · 27/11/2018 23:31

I love gin, it's the only spirit I like😂

adoggymum · 27/11/2018 23:33

@Mrsjohnmurphy 'not going to finger myself about it' 😂😂😂

Katedotness1963 · 27/11/2018 23:34

The Beckhams

Knocking people for putting their tree up early.

Mrsjohnmurphy · 27/11/2018 23:37

I do think Victoria Coren Mitchell is very smug, but I also in a way like her. I think she has espoused some very odd views, she was also pretty cringy sometimes on only connect. She does have some cracking anecdotes though.

Charlie Brooker also, I love him, but if I hear about smoking in the shower and the sideways TV one more time. Jesus man, move on, get some new fucking soundbites.

tabulahrasa · 27/11/2018 23:39

Wine, it’s disgusting.

PawneeParksDept · 27/11/2018 23:39

I remember treating someone for whom Nando's was beyond budget she was Sadthis is SO not what I thought it would be

Its popularity mystifies me still and I can only conclude that it is popular with people who have not had much experience of real restaurants, and consider it a real restaurant And i don't mean that in a snobby way.

The One Show. Seriously, who the fuck watches this show? How is it still on?

The Greatest Showman. PT Barnum was a massive cunt who experimented on animals and exploited people. Away with your what a hero, so inspirational bullshit.

All varieties of "live laugh love" "prosecco time" canvases, jumpers and wall hangings FUCK TO THE OFF

Graphista I mostly agree but have to leap in to defend Jamie Dornan. Ignore 50 Shades of Shit and watch him in The Fall with Gillian Anderson; absolutely brilliant show, incredible acting and just electric television.
