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 feel a bit the same MitziK. I think people like to say she was 17 or 18 or something. but the bottom line is she goes on a family holiday and ends up sneaking off at night to sleep with the much older sleazy dance instructor.
If her Mother had posted an AIBU on here I feel she would have got a lot of support, and told to report.

Pound of lard radio 2 don't need to bring back all the blokes. They just need good people, I don't GAF if they're male or female.

If I hear the twee "tellybox" again, I'll scream

I hate weddings, I hate parties, I hate noise, I hate heat and I really, really hate spicy food.

And that's just for starters.

Sparklingbrook · 02/03/2019 23:17

Greg James
Mrs Hinch

Favourite films-St Elmo's Fire and About Last Night.

I've never been to Ikea.

Sparklingbrook · 02/03/2019 23:18

I have been to Ikea. I didn't buy anything. Shock

SachaStark · 02/03/2019 23:19

EVERYTHING in Next is frumpy AF.

I tried again to go in there this afternoon, but everything is so ugly and overpriced!

TrainSong · 02/03/2019 23:21

Mamma Mia is second only to the film of Sex in the City for being unwatchable twaddle. (Only second because it was so bad that I gave up, twice, after ten minutes, whereas I was forced to sit through the excruciating pile o'shite that is SITC because I'd gone with some women I didn't know very well and had to be polite.)

Also agree on grey carpets; Friends; Spice Girls.
Les Mis is also a pile of pants.

But I love Harry Potter and Patrick Swayze is phenomenally sexy in Dirty Dancing,

SomeDayPerhaps · 02/03/2019 23:22

I don't really rate Chris Hemsworth. I mean yeah he's alright but I don't get a twitchy fanny over him like every other female in the solar system.

SachaStark · 02/03/2019 23:24

The Greatest Showman should have been shunned by everybody, not beloved. It is ultimately re-telling the story of a cruel man who bought the enslaved, and often disabled bodies, of his fellow humans. He should NOT be remembered with a fetishised fondness.

And the filmmakers didn't even have the decency to hire many disabled actors for the parts.

PaddingtonMare · 02/03/2019 23:31

@Poundoflard I love your comment about Brad Pitt Grin I think that’s why I don’t get Andy Day off CBeebies.

Peas and raisins are filler foods and should not be put in anything.

Mrsmadevans · 02/03/2019 23:32

Don't watch any of the soaps/Jeremy Kyle

Mrsmadevans · 02/03/2019 23:33

Those eyebrows that are called El hombre or something like that yuk!

justasking111 · 02/03/2019 23:34

I always found Patrick Swayze creepy, he just made my skin crawl so could never watch his movies.

Mrsmadevans · 02/03/2019 23:36

' I like books, and rowing with people in the internet.'
You are in the right place for that then Reanimated Grin

Sophisticatedsarcasm · 02/03/2019 23:36

I hated dirty dancing 😱
I don’t watch game of thrones
I didn’t watch breaking bad and Luther

Kneehigim · 02/03/2019 23:37

I don't even know who half the people you are mentioning on this thread are Blush
But! You sound like my kind of people, so I'll take that as a good thing.

Kneehigim · 02/03/2019 23:40

When you said 'I like rowing' I was about to hate on you too [pmsl]
Thankfully it was rowing with peoples on the interwebz.
One of my love interests (OLD) is currently at his 'tennis club party'. I cannot think of anything more excruciatingly mind numbing.

Gottalovesummer · 02/03/2019 23:40

glomofnit I actually want to stick a sharp pineapple in my ear now. It's got to feel better than the last series of X factorConfused

Kneehigim · 02/03/2019 23:43

And JSmith

Climate change is undoubtedly occurring, but is part of the natural cycles of our planet which play out over centuries and are not caused by human activity. The Romans grew grapes in the north of England, the Victorians skated on the frozen Thames. We are currently experiencing a warm spell. It will pass, as others did before it.

100% agree with this. But you might as well try teaching a herd of elephants Pythagoras' theorem.

Kneehigim · 02/03/2019 23:47

And before some vegan comes on here to tell me that elephants in fact invented triangles, can I just share an interesting fact. A study on elephant's brain reactions has found that they have the same reaction to seeing a human, as humans have when they see a cute puppy.

BeanTownNancy · 02/03/2019 23:48

Avatar was massively overrated. It was just Pocahontas without the catchy songs.

Sparklingbrook · 02/03/2019 23:52

I didn't think Only Fools and Horses was very funny.

OvO · 02/03/2019 23:53

All reality tv shows. Anything where people are bing themselves. They shouldn’t. People suck.

So all that dancing shite whether It’s on wood or ice, that jungle white, x country has talent, any singing shite, it’s all shite , you know what stuff I mean.

But it’s all people seem to want to talk about. No one wants to talk Star Trek with me. Sad😆

happygardening · 02/03/2019 23:56

Dont normally post on this section but Im proud to say Ive never heard an Ed Sheran song in my life and up until a few weeks ago If never heard of him. Ive also never seen Love Island (Ive only heard of it because colleges talk about it) ditto Big Brother X factor, Im a Celebrity and God knows what else I loathed Mama Mia 1 (took a client as a favour) and I will never see Mama Mia 2.
I also despise Harry Potter an absolute load of appallingly written twaddle and can't understand how adults talk about it. especially what Hogwarts House their in and wear the house lanyards etc at work, as if it's real it, bad news folks wake up it isn't.
Lastly people calling their dogs "furbabies" they are not babies they're dogs treat them like dogs not babies in furry outfits for f**K sake, and I'm speaking as dog owner/lover.
