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

Personalised number plates. Just don't get it.

Victoria Coren Mitchell though

There was another thread ages ago where her name came up and a poster appeared to say she had once been in a cafe and received a call to say she was being dumped.

She started crying and suddenly a woman appeared with a cake and slid it to her and said

"He's not worth it, love"

She was then declared a MN Hero and Good Egg

"Fashion"

As in, spending money on new clothes even though you already have wearable ones, primarily because you want to dress like how society says you should dress this year.

I don't remember the last time I bought an actual new item of clothing.

PawneeParksDept · 27/11/2018 23:45

Well the first series of The Fall WAS an exceptional piece of telly

Later series diminishing returns

Mustard coloured clothes - The same shade as antibiotic vomit.
Flip flops outside a beach or pool.
Pomegranate - nasty pointless pips.
Jackfruit - Needs to end now.
Lidl and Aldi - like wandering into a supermarket in 1980s Eastern Bloc country - and not cheaper than other food shops.
British soap operas - repetitive storylines, stupid conversations between characters who would never socialise in the real world all set around a dingy pub or cafe.

MyGardenNeedsHelp · 27/11/2018 23:47

Tom Hardy. So average!...Shock

OP, how very dare you!

dayswithaY · 27/11/2018 23:48

Romesh Ranganathan - he's on everything and he's not as funny as he would like to be. Even has his own sitcom now that is just him moaning.

FranciscoGoya · 27/11/2018 23:48

iPhones. You can buy something that does the same things but for half the price.

On that note, I guess I don't get anything that people spend more money on than they need to due to brand/image/fashion

Expensive loo roll
Ed Sheeran
Playsuits

CrispbuttyNo1 · 27/11/2018 23:51

Channing Tatum. He’s got piggy eyes and he can’t act to save his life. Give me Hugh Jackman any day.

PawneeParksDept · 27/11/2018 23:51

@dayswithaY

I too am sick of Romesh

He recently had a show on in America where he uprooted his family to live there and they did a whole reality series about being an immigrant in America. Now he's back here. It just strikes as an utter rabid desperation for fame no matter the personal cost

Mrsjohnmurphy · 27/11/2018 23:52

Agree days, also that other wee dude who was on question time...bah his name escapes me.

Geri Halliwell, she was on room 101 with Katherine Ryan and seemed to possess no sense of humour at all.

Huntawaymama · 27/11/2018 23:55

Gel nails
HD brows
Cars- as long as I get from a to b I couldn't care what it is

Expensive and big weddings- it's getting ridiculous
Caroline flack

Instagram & Facebook brag piles.
GBBO reboot its lost the charm and should be retitled Tears, Timings & Trout Pouts.

Pets for surprise Christmas presents (just don't O.K. Pets are a responsibility and are not disposable like bagging an unwanted gift set and off loading it at the charity shop).

Oh and if I was trapped on a desert island I'd take Tom Hardy & VCM and a deck of cards and a crate of Gin. I doubt I'd worry about being rescued.Gin[santa]

Enni2S · 28/11/2018 00:15

Expensive make up. If anything is any good wait a bit and Makeup Revolution will come out with a dupe fairly quickly that's just as good.

Wish. I work with people who are obsessed with it and keep asking me why I don't buy my make up, Harry Potter or Pusheen stuff from there. Er, cos it's fake. I'd rather buy the real stuff (or in the case of make up dupes buy from a reputable company I know the quality of, like MUR) than risk my health with goodness knows what that goes into fake make up I do own some higher end stuff, but it's in colours that are hard to find.
