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.

Other hills that aren't made of butter -

Harry Potter books weren't just blatant plagiarism 'I'm going to rewrite Mallory Towers about a BOY and WITH MAGIC', due to the trend at the time for endless series about rainbow pony fairy magic bunnies, they were written specifically with franchising opportunities in mind.

Patrick Swayze wasn't sexy. He was a creepy, predatory old man who would have ended up on a register, claiming all the time that the teenage girls led him astray, as the whole 'romance' of the film is essentially the script that abusers use to convince their victims to do as they want.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club, The Goonies and almost every other 80s film except Back to the Future were utter shite.

There are far, far worse 'comedy' shows than Mrs Brown's Boys.

Seinfeld was shit. Armando Iannucci is only funny to people who think they should think he is funny. This also goes for Stewart Lee, David Baddiel, French & Saunders, Absolutely Fabulous and Steve Coogan/Alan Partridge.

People who say 'oh, I'm a Dog Person. I don't like cats' or 'I'm a Cat Person. I don't like dogs' are twats. The correct answer is 'Neither. I'm an Animal Person. Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Horses, Birds, wildlife I like them all'.

Anybody over 18 who says they have a special affinity with dolphins/the wolf/whatever is a knob. Especially if they only mean the Bottlenose Dolphin because 'it looks so friendly', go on holidays to fucking SeaWorld or are unable to identify any particular environmental threat to said creatures such as the fucking cunts of SeaWorld , but have t-shirts, posters or 'limited edition' plates, two stuffed toys and a couple of overpriced statuettes to show their affinity.

School schools and jogging bottoms should not be worn together. Ever.

Jogging bottoms and trainers, plimsolls, sandals, wellies, crocs, hiking boots, flip flops, all fine. Never with school shoes (Or other smart shoe)

Wear school shoes with jeans or chinos or even cargo pants if you must, but not with joggers.

(Or tracksuit bottoms either)

Sorry Queenest, but I confess that I have been plotting the destruction of Heinz since early childhood. I could do you a deal though. If you promise to keep it to yourself and ensure that I never have to see, smell, or heaven forbid, taste the foul stuff again, maybe I could just arrange to transfer the entire world's supply of salad cream to you instead of destroying it? Mayonnaise, tomato ketchup, brown sauce, salad dressing, vinegar and gravy are on my hit list too, but salad cream is the worst of all.

Does anyone remember when Heinz were proposing to rename it "Sandwich Cream" as no one actually seems to put it on salad?

Birthdays are for children, not adults.

Toast with plenty of butter does not ruin tomato soup when dipped in. That’s my hill.

Star Wars films. Nope.

Don't enjoy them and since they started releasing more and more the chronological order is all effed up. How is anyone supposed to figure out wtf is going on if they were even interested to watch them.

Add Star Trek to that as well.

Anything "Star" actually that's weird space stuff.

It is not appropriate for Amanda Holden to judge anyone's competence as an entertainer.

@Itsmybirthday19

Totally agree with that

Umm so many sauces. 57 varieties that I can think of. That’s actually a lot of responsibility on my shoulders. 🤔

looks like he'd need a lot of prompting in bed...



I was a sucker for a pretty boy in my youth - when I could still attract them!

I can attest to your accuracy one was an actual model and AWFUL in bed - and made shite tea too! He didn't last long with me

Grey is not a colour. It’s the absence of colour. A void, if you will. Therefore it has no business being everywhere in everyone’s houses and particularly not in different “shades” across an entirely grey room.

Totally agree!
I grew up in army colours and only certain colours of paint were allowed to be on the walls magnolia was the usual choice but white or a weird pale blue grey colour too awful colour for walls!

@1066vegan splitting hairs imo he wanted to legitimise the marriage to Boleyn so his heirs would be legit the only way he could achieve that was ending marriage to Aragon hence why c if e created

@MitziK totally agree on animals. I've had people query if I really love animals as I don't have pets. I'd love to have pets but with my health issues I know it wouldn't be fair on the animals

Harry Potter is an arrogant little arsehole who only really learned one spell in 7 years. And Hogwarts has a real safeguarding issue. Also, there are plot holes so huge they're technically chasms in that series.

Humans are overinvested in pandas. We should not have reached a point where someone dons a disguise in order to wank off an animal that cannot be arsed to breed. Leave them to it.

One finger of Twix is not 'a serving'.

@Mookie81

If Amy herself bears no grudge that's OK, I bear it hard on her behalf.

The injustice of it!

Coffee is an abomination. It smells vile, like a migraine in a mug, and gives everyone who drinks it rank breath. It should be banned.

Macaroon.

I'm going to defend my hill. Divorce is the ending of a legitimate marriage and annulment is a declaration that the marriage never existed in the first place. They're very different.

Protestants said that Henry viii was never married to Katherine of Aragon and therefore Mary was illegitimate and had no right to be in the line of succession to the throne.

Catholics, on the other hand, said that he was married to Katherine of Aragon therefore the annulment was meaninglessness, he couldn't have married Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth was illegitimate and she couldn't be in the line of succession.

The question of annulment had huge personal consequences for both girls/women and major constitutional implications.

Barbecue is spelt with a c
Barbeque is a ridiculous abomination from people who have confused BBQ (which is fine) and the full word.
If “barbeque” really was a word it would be French and pronounced “bar-beek”

Oooh....please don't get me started on words that aren't spelled the way they're pronounced or pronounced the way they're spelt. Making people's lives unnecessarily difficult.

The best thing about lockdown is not seeing people...especually ones you don't want to see. No i'm not going on zoom as the whole point for me is to get some peace and fucking quiet.
Open garden centres now though.

People who spell their kids names wrong are not being quirky or individual. It makes you look illiterate.

Ketchup should not be kept in the fridge, it should be in the cupboard where it has always been. Of course the bottle will tell you to keep it in the fridge, but don't subject yourself to it.

All types of macaroon are macaroons. The first time I heard "macaron" was Mary Berry on The Bake Off. I thought it must be a Berry quirk, like "lairs".

I have nothing against David Attenborough in himself, but I have always hated nature documentaries, "leave them alone FFS".

God many people have some awful, awful opinions!!!

Men cannot become women. This is my hill, I have nice biscuits if anyone wants to join me. I might even make a cake.

Fish is disgusting. Ditto seafood.
