Depressing Soap Operas. So many people watch them too, but I just don't see the attraction!

I don't get why people like a lot of reality TV either e.g. Big Brother, Kardassians etc.

Ribbonsonabox · 20/01/2019 17:14

The Greatest Showman
Game of Thrones
Snapchat
Nandos (it's just overpriced bad takeaway standard food?)

I do really enjoy glitter though... It just makes me happy to look at in any capacity... I dont understand why anyone would want it not to be on them... but I do respect peoples wishes lol

Ribbonsonabox · 20/01/2019 17:15

Ribbonsonabox · 20/01/2019 17:17

Love gin, love prosecco, love Costa/starbucks/Nero's, love unicorns!

Dunno what whisky is all about though, I can only think people pretend to like it to look classy, tastes like petrol water misery

Jaxhog · 20/01/2019 17:18

jaffa cakes. Awful texture and awful flavours.

Seriously? I'll have them!

Sparklingbrook · 20/01/2019 17:18

SilverySurfer · 20/01/2019 17:21

So many:

Reality tv/Soaps/Z-list celebs in anything - never heard of most of them.
All social media - before someone tells me MN is SM I don't agree.
Kardashians - the mother has pimped out her daughters to the highest bidders - trailer trash.
Corbyn -- never done a real job in his life - still acts like he's at university.
Gin
Fake smells like air freshner/fabric conditioner/scented candles - make me feel ill. Make my own candles with a subtle scent.
Calling things like snooker/darts 'sport', when they are not - they are skills.
MarieKondo - get a life
Selfies - not that I see them as I have no social media but people have become self obsessed.
All foreign cuisines, pasta, rice etc, British is best.
Plugging children into devices to shut them up - eg in restaurants - teach them manners and how to behave.
People obsessed with their mobile phones - I shall ban them when I come back to rule the world Grin

What a pointless load of faff for a few months then they die. Sad

If I am forking out money for the garden I want stuff to last!

Camomile tea.

Huw Edwards.

Angst-ridden guitar-strumming navel-gazing songsters.

The sort of dancing as on Dance Moms where little children are wearing nothing but a sequinned bikini and a feathered headdress.
