I just watched Mamma Mia 2.

If I say it was the biggest pile of steaming shite ever, am I out of the gang? Honest to God I don’t know what I wanted to gouge out first, my ears, my eyes or my brain.

Does anyone else have anything else to admit? You didn’t fancy Patrick Swazye in Dirty Dancing?

I've never watched Game of Thrones. And Jason Momoa leaves me cold.

ASurfeitOfDuncans · 02/03/2019 22:00

Mama Mia 1 was a pile of wank just now.

Cheeeeislifenow · 02/03/2019 22:00

Hate dirty dancing pretty woman and the notebook.

Sparklingbrook · 02/03/2019 22:01

I have never fancied Patrick Swayze. Find Dirty Dancing really annoying and also hate Top Gun.

TheresACatInMyLaundryBasket · 02/03/2019 22:02

I HATED Mama Mia 2, but I don't know why I went to see it, because I can't stand Abba in the first place.

I think the Beatles were overrated and crap, but my parents would disown me if I admitted it...

TheresACatInMyLaundryBasket · 02/03/2019 22:03

Oh, and when I was around 14 or so, EVERYBODY loved the film "ghost"- I thought it was a pile of shite, and still do!

thebeesknees123 · 02/03/2019 22:04

I don't get the hype surrounding Strictly

sushisuperstar · 02/03/2019 22:05

I can't stand a lot of folk people seem to like eg Louis Theroux, Stacey Dooley et al.

RiverTam · 02/03/2019 22:06

I HATE grey in interior decor. It’s dreary, boring and it’s as unimaginative as magnolia was in its heyday.

And kale is horrible and smells of dirty dishcloths.

sushisuperstar · 02/03/2019 22:06

Yes totally agree the Beatles are over rated. And so was David Bowie (sorry)

percheron67 · 02/03/2019 22:07

To cringe when hearing "Hubby" or "bubba". Dear God, the poor child.

TheresACatInMyLaundryBasket · 02/03/2019 22:09

Actually, thinking about it, a lot of the "big" bands were overrated. Especially the 90s ones like the Spice Girls, they were crap!

snoutandab0ut · 02/03/2019 22:09

OMG there is so much stuff I hate. Friends (the sitcom, not actual people) is the biggest one that everyone else seems to love but I don’t. Any romcom. Fluffy memoirs by vacuous white middle class women like Dolly Alderton

Littlecaf · 02/03/2019 22:10

I’ve never seen Coronation Street.

There. Said it.

Aquamarine1029 · 02/03/2019 22:11

Titanic is fucking GARBAGE. I HATE that movie.

LaurieMarlow · 02/03/2019 22:12

I’ve never seen E.T.

Dahlietta · 02/03/2019 22:12

I'm disappointed this isn't about bestiality, incest and cannibalism.

Parly · 02/03/2019 22:13

I don't like anything. Don't watch soaps or TV other than documentaries and I have absolutely no idea who all these shit-wads people constantly bang on about even are.

I don't do shoes, expensive clothes or designer gear and choose to drive around in an old scrapper that's just about legal and I can rag and drive to its death.

It's only ever a source of wonder and shock to other women though. They cannot believe I don't know who such a person is from Emmerdale and will look at me like I've just fallen from the sky when I say I don't really watch TV. Or shop. Or do anything.

Had to grit my teeth and agree to let my son bring his friends round to ours every other weekend as part of training he does in medieval reenactment but that is my absolute max.

I'm like a really pezzy rag and bone man's daughter just coasting through life being cheap and pezzy Smile

Chesntoots · 02/03/2019 22:13

I've never watched Gone With the Wind, Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, Wizard of Oz.

Hated Top Gun.

I am a very grumpy lady...

TheresACatInMyLaundryBasket · 02/03/2019 22:15

Aquamarine, remember 1998? (hope that was the right year!) Everybody was raving about Titanic. People were being interviewed in the papers for seeing it 50+ times etc, and I just didn't get the fuss, and still don't!

flojo73 · 02/03/2019 22:17

I have never watched Dirty Dancing.

Parly · 02/03/2019 22:17

@Dahlietta I like your thinking! That's what I expected too but then again I'm always slightly off when it comes to joining in the social shit.

But yeah I thought this would involve and include some stuff that's more what I understand as being "social taboo"

Believability · 02/03/2019 22:18

Harry Potter is boring and of no interest to me, my kids or my family. Someone will now want to tell me how wrong I am

Bravelurker · 02/03/2019 22:19

Anything Bridget Jones, talent contests.

strawberrisc · 02/03/2019 22:20

Someone literally unfriended me on FB when I said I thought the Beatles were overrated.

Can’t agree with LouisvTheroux though. He’s on my fantasy dinner list.
