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 and Radley handbags. Always look too small.
I do hate most "designer" handbags though.

Oh another positive vote for Jamie Dornan in the first series of the Fall. Bloody brilliant. And the only time I've ever fancied him 😶

Clueing4looks · 28/11/2018 07:42

@Ljlsmum I know James Corden (or used to - haven’t seen him for years)

He was the biggest misogynistic arsehole ever with a huge inflated ego, even back then.

Everything generally. Everything is so contrived. We are taken for idiots with everything. Telly, politics, our food, clothing, NHS. I feel like we are all just being fed bullshit constantly to keep us in our place. All nose to a miserable grindstone. Quality of life has ebbed away in this country since the early eighties and the country is not run for the people in any way. From the tiny things like companies selling us a bar of chocolate that is half as big for twice as much with fake ingredients to the huge huge things that effect our day to day lifes in fundamental ways we are treated like shit.

Calling your child prinny, princess or any other stupid name constantly. Also referring to yourself as queen Hmm

Pouting. You look ridiculous

Stupid filters that make you look like a dog/hamster/dickhead

AnastasiaVonBeaverhausen · 28/11/2018 07:45

I think my absolute worst are those hideous emotionally manipulative Christmas adverts. To the point where the "premier" is all hyped up? Pur-lease. They are trying to pursuade you to buy tat in their tat-emporiums. They are not your friends.

chapthedoor · 28/11/2018 07:46

I wish average blokes looked like Idris Elba and Tom Hardy Wink

Zara - it's like a jumble sale full of thin, shit quality clothes.

MessyBun247 · 28/11/2018 07:46

Pretty much all alcohol. Tastes like shite.
XFactor. Strictly etc etc

HectorPlasm · 28/11/2018 07:48

Charities taking over everything. Wearing a comical jumper? Get sponsored! Losing weight after Christmas? Ask you friends for money. Fuck off and stop trying to cash in on everything.

Monty27 · 28/11/2018 07:50

Everything above except @kateandme
David Beckham as long as he doesn't talk Grin

yoyo1234 · 28/11/2018 07:51

Purple tigers list ( though would get very wound up about smoking and drugs if DC did them).Also would add Expensive gifts for partners at Christmas.

TheSquashyHatOfMrGnosspelius · 28/11/2018 07:54

Harry Potter. Harry fucking Potter FFS!

I'm in a bad mood today!

TheSquashyHatOfMrGnosspelius · 28/11/2018 07:56

Daniel Craig. Our binmen are better looking. James Bond was written as the ultimate sophisticated, smooth and handsome man with impeccable manners. Daniel Craig is not that person.

Bluerussian · 28/11/2018 07:57

David Beckham was a dish but, just recently, he seems to have 'gone off' a bit. I could still cry watching and listening to his acceptance speech at the Sports award thing, he got a very big award, can't remember now what it's called. However, that was a few years ago (definitely 'gone off' in recent times).

Goodness me, this thread is now six pages. I'll have to go back and read more.

Unlike the op, I adore Christmas dinneer with all the trimmings but it has to be superbly cooked.

Also like Nando's.

Never seen the point of Caroline Flack. Being a woman I always hesitate to criticise another woman but there's definitely something about her that I don't - well -- like, and I don't even know the woman!

Ed Sheeran I don't mind hearing but don't particularly want to see.

Davina McColl I think is lovely, very empathetic; I've read things she has written that have had depth and been so moving.

Holly Willoughby is growing on me, never saw much of her until the last couple of weeks, she seems to me to be a very good presenter, is bright and cheerful.

Can't stand Chris Evans.

CrispbuttyNo1 · 28/11/2018 07:57

People who put loads of hashtags on their Facebook posts. I really really don’t get it.

Firesuit · 28/11/2018 07:59

I love Nando's. It is what it is, presumably the people who don't like it were expecting it to be something else?

It's at the better end of the fast food continuum, probably roughly equivalent to the best Pizza franchises. ( The food anyway, the premises vary.)

RayRayBidet · 28/11/2018 08:00

The Oktoberfest.
I live in Munich and this is the biggest pile of shit ever.
It's so expensive and it's boring as hell, sitting in a tent, listening to shit music and blabbering drunk people who are talking crap. Stag nights and people wearing fancy dress versions of dirndls and lederhosen. Being gouged paying ridiculous amounts for crap food that costs tuppence ha'penny in the nice restaurant near my house. Half a chicken and some potato salad, that'll be €900. It's crowded and annoying. Won't be going again. I have made a vow.
It's a fairground with beer tents. It's boring.
That is all.

FlyingElbows · 28/11/2018 08:09

Ugh boots. Just why? I have a friend who considers them to be on the level with actual outdoorsy country boots. She is bonkers and her feet are always soaking. Get proper boots and keep those overblown slippers for the house!

RayRayBidet · 28/11/2018 08:13

@FlyingElbows
I hear you. I hate when you walk behind someone wearing them and you can see they are actually walking on the side of the boot because it has dropped to the side.

Doodlebug5 · 28/11/2018 08:13
