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?

George Ezra, Ed Sheran et al are boring as fuck!

Proseccoagain · 02/03/2019 22:25

I hate McDonald's, and never took my children. People thought we were odd. I don't care. Just thought the food was dreadful.

KC225 · 02/03/2019 22:26

I walked out The Matrix after about half an hour and I have never seen any of the Lord of the Pins and Needles - can't be doing with all that Middle Earth stuff. Oh and James Corden is NOT nearly as funny as he thinks he is

Bluelonerose · 02/03/2019 22:29

The greatest showman was crap. After all the hype i got bored.

Dahlietta · 02/03/2019 22:29

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

I know exactly what you mean Wink

ThatssomebadhatHarry · 02/03/2019 22:31

Everytime someone uses the term ‘fur babies’ I want to vomit and slap them silly.

emilybrontescorsett · 02/03/2019 22:32

I fell asleep whilst watching Lord of the Rings.
I don't watch soaps.
I will never buy any charity records.
Don't tell me to donate to charity, donate yourself and no I don't want to buy your crap record. Especially if it has anything to do with that Twat Bono.

ColeHawlins · 02/03/2019 22:32

Oh yes several of these. Particularly about MM2, strictly and Stacey Dooley (she tries hard though).

Also;

People who say "full fat coke" sound silly.

thegreylady · 02/03/2019 22:32

I didn’t like Luther at all and Idris Elba leaves me cold.

ParkaPerson · 02/03/2019 22:33

@RiverTam

Not only did you get the username I wanted first, you also got in there first with the grey decor and kale. Bloody hate both of them.

Scrolling through rightmove everyone's house looks like a battleship nowadays!

Kneehigim · 02/03/2019 22:33

Hate science fiction. Star Wars, Star Trek et al can do one.

I don't watch soaps, I'm a celebrity or that one where they're on an island or something - love island? Therefore, I am not a girly girl who can join in the chit chat at work.

Also thought the Beatles were over-rated.

And shoot me now, but I am sick of hearing about global warming!

Alienspaceship · 02/03/2019 22:33

Friends - really boring.

ColeHawlins · 02/03/2019 22:33

Oh and "Little one" is unbearably twee. Also "Mummabear".

Parly · 02/03/2019 22:36

@Dahlietta Out of interest are you asked for advice or honest thoughts or opinions about something then get absolutely hammered to shit when you give said honest thoughts or opinions?

That happens to me a lot but in fairness I only chip in if and when asked.

alittlequinnie · 02/03/2019 22:36

I let slip at work the other day that I don't like going to weddings.

It did not go down well!

I also don't watch strictly or bake off - when I admitted that it didn't go down any better!!

I also hated Top Gun .... and Tom Cruise makes me feel a bit sick ....

...I'm not a very popular person!

Insomnibrat · 02/03/2019 22:38

Holly and Phillip. Individually or in a pair. I just can't.

thenightsky · 02/03/2019 22:38

I fell asleep whilst watching Lord of the Rings.

Thank god I wasn't the only one Grin

Fraxion · 02/03/2019 22:40

I let slip at work the other day that I don't like going to weddings.

I would literally do anything to get out of a wedding invite. Ungrateful I know but I cannot stand all the palaver of a big do.

Kneehigim · 02/03/2019 22:41

Also, the British obsession with the NHS, wasting ambulances/A&E, NICE guidelines, WHO guidelines (usually trotted out when someone consumes more than a half glass of wine per month) and every other authority they can drum up to add weight to their feeble argument.
Oh and breastfeeding/co-sleeping/baby-wearing/attachment parenting/feminist shite/gender-fluid shite etc. etc.

Parly · 02/03/2019 22:41

@ThatssomebadhatHarry Me too and fair shout on the slapping people silly.

People that speak in the third person as their dog i.e. "Mum says I'm not allowed any more treats and Dad says I'm getting a fatty"

If your dog could speak and be heard on social media it would surely be giving it "PLEASE GET ME OUT OF THIS FUCKING PLACE PLEASE JUST NICK ME FROM THE GARDEN"

GlomOfNit · 02/03/2019 22:42

I loathe shoe shopping and don't actually own a 'handbag' (not one a certain sort of woman would acknowledge as such, anyway). Gin is fine but posh gin leaves me a bit 'meh'- I honestly don't get the fuss. I cannot watch a talent show, be it Strictly, X Factor or Britain's Got Talent - would rather stick a very sharp pineapple in each ear.

but worst of all - far, far worse than hating the few minutes I've endured of Mamma Mia - I .... don't have Netflix.

The amount of faux-amazed outrage I've had from friends. No, I haven't set it up. I watch tv by the schedules or on the hard drive, or maybe on catch-up.

Kneehigim · 02/03/2019 22:43

And if I hear one more fucking word about cunting Brexit! Piss or get off the fucking pot.

bagelbaby · 02/03/2019 22:43

Prosecco is rank

AnnaMagnani · 02/03/2019 22:44

DH and I only found out that George Ezra existed last week.

We did not feel inclined to listen to any of his music.

We prefer it that way.

Kneehigim · 02/03/2019 22:47

Oh and another pair (sorry, I'm on a roll) - those two who won the Olympics ice-skating. They're like relics revered! They fucking won one thing in their lives!
Also hate soccer and cricket.
