To ask for your hill you will die on? LIGHTHEARTED

[SheliaHammondDiet]

As per the meme ‘I will die on this hill’ what are your lighthearted hills you’re willing to die on?

Mine:

Phoebe Buffay is the worst friends character. She is not kooky, she’s mean, selfish and always looking for ways to put the other friends down. Everyone is too busy hating Ross to realise Phoebe is a cock. I will die on this hill.

Music festivals are like an endurance test and are way too much like hard work.

@InfiniteCurve unless, like me, you grew up with coconut macaroons! www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-easy-coconut-macaroons-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-186918

Ok, not lighthearted having just read the thread about an unsuitable girlfriend of a different religion. Ban all religion! That would definitely be a hill I’d die on! 😂

Star wars is shit.

I have many a hill to choose from.

Channing Tatum is not attractive.

Ketchup and lasagne is incredible

Game of Thrones was boring as shit.

@TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross that's the worst hill for me the BBC version of P&P is the only adaptation worth knowing.

@MitziK I’ll join you on that hill with some buttered toast

Tiger King is a load of crap

@HereBeFuckery

Please don't make 'cinema' another wanky arty 'oh, if you don't like this challenging Czech film about dead children you are a pleb' snooze fest.

Yes, yes! There’s an independent Art Deco cinema we often go to, glass of wine, plate of (naice) cheese, don’t mind if I do as it’s the same price as the skanky popcorn stinking chain.

The owner is painfully well spoken and always introduces the films. He’s becoming increasingly patronising about populist films, which prop up his business, let’s face it, more people come to the Marvel films than to the Spanish independent dance production where the bloke carries his partner on his back, doubled over, for almost the entirety of the film. At first, I found him amusing, now I find him tiresome.

Don’t slag off the intelligence of your punters and deride their viewing choices or you might find that they stop spending the time on the phone redialling every 10 seconds for an hour to get tickets, mate.

The macaron thing, they used to both be called macaroon. Before the internet. We know one is coconuty and one is meringuey, stop trying to explain! Exactly. I will join @burritofan on that hill.

On my own hill, I will drink Bombay Sapphire and any diet tonic. Like I have for over 20 years. LEAVE ME ALONE. I do not want pink gin, jammy dodger gin, or bits of pot pourri floating in it; I don't want it served in a fish bowl or to be told by someone who 2 years ago 'hated gin' about all the hundreds of different gins they've tried and blah blah blah. I will sit up here and wait for this trend to pass so gin can be ordinary again. Do not send up gin-related slogans.

Kale is not a wonder food; it is cattle feed.

Wally Murs is extremely annoying and a terrible singer

Peanut butter and marmite on toast IS amazing

We have a jar of marmite flavoured peanut butter in our cupboard. I hate it. DH loves it.

Oops my bad on CAMMEYA CABBAYO

I'll stop saying it now ☺️

Test cricket is the greatest game. It just is. It has a complexity & depth of strategy, tactics and individual battles within a team context that no other sport can match.

It is a breadcake. Not a bap, a barm, a cob or a roll. A breadcake.

And prosecco is disgusting. I don't believe that anyone drinks it because they genuinely like the taste!

Toilet brushes are essential

You are not a Liverpool supporter born and bred if you were born and live in Cardiff.

Shippams pastes, eaten out of the jar with a special tiny spoon, are snack-heaven.

Salad cream beats mayonnaise. Any brand, cheap or not, tastes the same (albeit of vinegar) unlike mayo which had many wanky & misleading guises.

I imagine I'll be alone in this one but here goes:

Getting a pet cat is basically just subjecting all your neighbours to the worst bit about cats without letting them have a say in it - a poopy garden and a decimated local songbird population (this is a real problem).

I don't actually dislike cats or 'cat people' but I do think pet cats belong in more rural areas where they can spread out rather than rammed in urban areas at 30+ per street and emptying all the nests come spring.

Oh don’t get me wrong, there’s a place for blow-shit-up, fun franchise-y blockbusters - I was so excited when The Last Jedi came out I was at the 12.01 am showing on the opening day - but in my opinion the MCU is so fucking massive and sprawling it’s sucking the air out. It sometimes feels like that’s all that’s on whenever we want to go to the cinema.

Anyway, it’s my hill (and Marty’s) and no one has to join me if they don’t agree.

Agree with the OP on Phoebe from Friends

Mine is no one is allowed to turn the big light on in the living room. I’ve spent a fortune on artfully placed lamps to give off a pleasing ambience. Fuck off with the big light

And also, all the light switches at the bottom of the stairs must face the same way. Even if I have to run up and down stairs a few times turning th landing light off

A sausage cob (not barmcake) should be eaten with brown sauce, none of that red muck.

Monica and Richard made so much more sense as a couple than she and Chandler

I love Monica and Chandler! They're one of my favourite TV couples. And opposites attract.

@PositiveVibez it's Cam-ee-la Cabayo

Sorry the link was broken. I'll try again.

This.

This is the hill I want to die on.

Next doors cat, one of seven fucking cats that she owns, has taken to shitting in my garden again. I thought I'd successfully deterred it but no. It's also started leaving half dead animals in our garden which we then have to either finish off ourselves if they're too far gone or take to the vet in the village if they look like they can be treated. I don't own a fucking cat, I don't want to have to deal with little birds, frogs, and on one occasion a slow worm. I don't want to clean up shit that is crawling with worms. We've raised it with her and she's not bothered. She says its cruel to keep them indoors and she can't make her garden escape proof. She did try creating an outdoor litter tray for them by tipping two bags of cat litter onto the soil, right on the other side of the fence separating us, but she never cleaned it out so it stank to high heaven and attracted actual clouds of flies.

Supersoaker has been retrieved from the shed for firing at the cats when I see them and I've been using a spade to fling the shit back over her fence which is a compromise because DH said I should post it through her letterbox. When I find half dead animals I've been knocking at her door and handing them over to her to deal with.

Cats can fuck right off.
