Ooh yes, cold shoulder tops and "those" eyebrows.

CatnissEverdene · 20/01/2019 16:53

Slug eyebrows and huge fish lips. Just why????

Reality TV. Just sod off please. And take the "slebs" monsters you've created along the way with you too. Thanks.

Anything to do with Simon Cowell. Yes you can sod off too.

People who pay £s for concert tickets and spend the whole time watching it through their mobile phone. WTAF is wrong with you?!

lumpsofitroundtheback · 20/01/2019 16:54

The Voice - really not keen. Not keen at all.

Sailing - once described as being like ripping up £20 notes whilst feeling cold, wet, frightened, hungry, tired and seasick all at once.

SUVs - nobody needs one. Not even people who live at the end of a muddy track in the arse-end of nowhere. They rather sensibly have land rovers.

Going to the gym - who wants to breathe in the aroma of old trainers and other people's sweat?

Haha cheesenpickles I have a pointless bunch of twigs 😂 it’s been stuck in a corner covering up some dodgy skirting boards for years and now it’s covered in cobwebs. It’s going in the bin tomorrow!

White walls in a home

I'd add a lot more white things. White walls, bedding, clothes, towels. I find it all weird. Especially baby clothes.

Rudgie47 · 20/01/2019 17:03

Mumford and Sons- Obviously very upper middle class types pretending to be downbeat hippies. So contrived and crap.
Emmerdale- Its like a bad school play.
The Beckhams- Time to get divorced, the shows over.

00100001 · 20/01/2019 17:04

I this

Also, skulls as home decor?

Double points for an iridescent skull

Pretty much all TV (notable exceptions: anything with David Attenborough, Masterchef Professionals (because Monica Gelinski is my girl crush), the Apprentice (because I used to work in the corporate world and it reminds me why I left!))

Big Words On Walls

Wooden cut out words as decor, e.g. "Bathe" in the bathroom. Oh thanks for telling me, I had no idea what I was doing in here.

Gin

Green tea, Bubble tea, any kind of tea that isn't Yorkshire tea

Friends (TV show)

24 (TV show)

Liam Neeson

And of course, sharpie eyebrows

Yabbers · 20/01/2019 17:10

Baby monitors. Can they not hear babies crying without one then?

I guess this depends on the size/layout of your house.

If I was in the back of the house in the noisy kitchen and she was in her bedroom, I didn’t hear her. We also had a video monitor as she didn’t cry when she woke up so we’d have no idea if she was asleep or awake.

Conseulabananahammock · 20/01/2019 17:10
