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

MarcieBluebell · 28/11/2018 02:29

It depends how the turkey is cooked. Bottoms up all the way.
Make the gravy and freeze it in advance. Jamie Oliver says and I agree.
It's an elaborate Sunday roast. With courses.
Melon and prosciutto to start, main, then a dessert and then loads of booze with cheese and crackers. It's not that hard 😱

kateandme · 28/11/2018 03:27

but to someone the dodgems bloke might just have tha t"something" and beckham deff does.
cooked well veg is gorgeous.so can turkey be.and its about the moment and the meal and the people included that makes it.and there is so much more to it than the turkey.

gin yukky memories and always meant abuse was coming.

people now taking those mini suitcases as gym bags.(I wont say what type of woman it is that does this incase there are some lovely ones on here) but wtaf.

avocado.eh

keto.gluton free.lacto free.or other like it when you don't have an allergy.oh please.get out of my face.

vegan and veggie.WAIT...only the ones that shove it in ur face make you feel like shit (or try to)if your not and can get really aggressive and quote links and sotires that are made from bullshit.and are always always reading stuff from the us and other coutnries and is NOT HOW FAMERS TREAT ANIMALS HERE!

Kardashians.a no better woman to make girls feel like shite.

the hate for holly Willoughby.is it woman hate and jealously for any woman doing well and seems nice

over feminism.sometimes you can be saved by a man.sometimes you can be the hero too.you all bring something good to the table.they can be nice by opeing a door.you do it back no?

noel edmands after years of people knowing hes a knob is now some sort of ledgend.

Monty27 · 28/11/2018 03:32

Apparently Kanye gets upset when Kim posts sexy pictures Grin
Sorry I digress.
Beckham is hot but I can't imagine holding an intelligent conversation with him Confused

kateandme · 28/11/2018 03:44

monty27 he could just hold me instead then :D

Roobub · 28/11/2018 03:54

The Beatles (not terrible or anything but surely the most overrated band ever. Rolling Stones infinitely better)

Meat / Fish - don't need it! Life without is just as fulfilling!

'real leather' - people seem to see this as a mark of quality but good vegan leather is much more hard-wearing and attractive than most of the horrible real leather!

Got to say I love a bit of Tom Hardy though 🤤 and a good long bath

sashh · 28/11/2018 04:01

Christmas, in the words of Christopher Hitchens, "All the songs are about the great leader, you might as well be in North Korea" - or similar.

Kardashians.

Romesh Ranganathan and Joe Richardson.

Monty27 · 28/11/2018 04:35

malificent7 · 28/11/2018 06:06

Im a celebrity...glorified animal abuse.
Mortgages...staying in jobs you hate and not being able to afford a few treats.
Renting...see above with the additional kick in the teeth that you are paying soneone elses mortgage who is usullay an ungrateful twunt.
Cars...pita, expensive, polluting, dangerous.
Macdonalds...
Expensive advent calenders...just why spend that much when you could just buy the gin/ make up/ candles you really want rather than a random assortment of minatures.
Celebrities...boring.

GreenMeerkat · 28/11/2018 06:06

I'm a celebrity
Snapchat
ANYBODY who starts Christmas before December (except shopping for gifts)

Blanchedupetitpois · 28/11/2018 07:00

Benedict Cumberbatch. Like him as an actor, absolutely unable to see how anyone considers him attractive.

EnglishRose13 · 28/11/2018 07:06

I haven't read the whole thread but I have to add that I do not get the carrot thing from Aldi. I shop at Aldi, so it's not because I have anything against Aldi.

Gaspodethetalkingdog · 28/11/2018 07:07

The Beckhams - he’s a bit creepy
Tattoos -see above
Over pimped - up cars - like the ones driven around London in the summer and the one in my local market town yesterday if not the local drug dealer looks like he is
Celebrity anything on TV
Katie Price - will do anything for money ..

EnglishRose13 · 28/11/2018 07:08

Oh, and personalised number plates.

OldBrownShoe · 28/11/2018 07:17

Idris Elba. He’s just a regular looking bloke yet people are swooning over him.

Beyoncé. ‘Queen Bee’. Some of her stuff she did with destiny’s child was ok but don’t like any of her solo stuff.

Boxing. Can think of nothing worse than watching two grown ups punching lumps out of each other.

The love of Prosecco/Gin. It’s everywhere. Is it the adult version of unicorns/the poo emoji? My SIL even has a gin flavoured candle. It stinks.

OldBrownShoe · 28/11/2018 07:19

(The kardashians are my guilty pleasure though)

Booie09 · 28/11/2018 07:26

Whitby North Yorkshire....dog shit hole.

People who pay a fortune for a meal the size of a pea.

Fake long nails.

Tattoos.

Fake tan.

Instagram pouts

Vitalogy · 28/11/2018 07:26

Idris Elba. He’s just a regular looking bloke yet people are swooning over him. I think he is a good looking bloke but I'd say it's more to do with charisma and sex appeal.

Unfinishedkitchen · 28/11/2018 07:29

Anything by Michael Kors. If someone gave me an MK bag, I’d regift it.

AnastasiaVonBeaverhausen · 28/11/2018 07:35

YY to Michael Kors handbags
Nissan Qashqais.
Game of Thrones. Got half way through season 2. Dull.
