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.

Gravy is rank. It makes all food taste of, well, gravy. Same with custard which is essentially the gravy of the pudding world. Stop making food mushy. Only Acceptable at the start and end of life.

Mayonnaise is an abomination. Prosecco is an abomination. Miranda Hart is not remotely funny. Any kind of compound dog, eg, labradoodle, is ludicrous.

Tea is vile

Normal tea eg breakfast smells so disgusting that in 29 years I have never even tried it.

@ShirleyPhallus

Yes - I have a toddler so seen the raisins pass through. Doesn’t bother me as I’m
Not expected to eat them. But a fat and bloated raisin in a strudel is 😫

Some
Of these are so bloody true.

Agree fish and seafood is rank.

  1. Smokers always smell of smoke no matter what they say- you can ALWAYS smell it, regardless of how cologne or perfume they put on.
  1. Veganism isnt natural
  1. Dogs are far superior to cats

Friends isn’t funny, Miranda isn’t funny, mrs browns boys isn’t funny, the American office isn’t funny, Big Bang theory isn’t funny.

Tea should be weak and sweet. Two sugars, two thirds boiling water, one third full fat milk, teabag left in for about 10 seconds.

I appreciate this will be a lonely hill.

1066vegan · 01/05/2020 08:20

@DarylDixonsHair A very lonely hill. You can't call an abomination like that tea!

Hamilton is boring, it drags on and on, the plot doesn't make sense and some of the cast are awful singers.

Carrie Bradshaw isn't selfish, she's just had to toughen up due to living alone in NYC for so long. She is very loyal and supportive to her friends. Ross Geller made huge mistakes with Rachel, due to issues he still had from his marriage to Carol. He was kind to all the others (supporting Joey by buying one of his ceramic animals, helping him to write a script, teaching Phoebe to ride a bike). He was the most moral out of all of them - look at Joey's vile treatment of women and how sly Chandler was.

Holly Willoughby is dull and vacant looking, Schofield is creepy as hell.

There are so many times when her friends have an issue and she is only willing to devote 30 seconds to them or brush them of completely/belittle them in order to discuss her own issues. She also treats some men like absolute shit - who thinks it’s ok to invite an ex you cheated on your current bf with to your bf’s house?!

Grammar and punctuation.

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

@1066vegan
Catherine of Aragon was the widow of Henry Viii's brother, Arthur. Henry obtained a papal dispensation to marry her. When she failed to produce a male heir and in the midst of his passionate affair with Anne Boleyn, Henry asked for an annulment, which the Pope refused. Had the Pope granted it, it is unlikely the English reformation would have happened. Henry's was capricious and swung between the Catholic and Reform factions, burning both. Anne Askew was put to the rack before being burned in 1546. She is regarded as a protestant martyr.

It’s nougat not nugget
And here I stand 👊🏻

Football really is just men kicking a ball around a field.
They don't need paying for it.

This may be the cause of DH and my divorce.

ellanwood · 01/05/2020 08:39

I'm happy to rephrase that for people with grammar hills:
They don't need to be paid for it.

BovaryX · 01/05/2020 08:40

When she failed to produce a male heir

Just to clarify, that is the way Henry perceived it, not me!

ellanwood · 01/05/2020 08:41

But @DirtyDeeds how are you pronouncing nougat? Please tell me not noo-gah. That is for people who go to Paree for the weekend.

dayswithaY · 01/05/2020 08:43

@crispysausagerolls I realise it's not a popular opinion. But the show would be pretty tame if they all behaved like Edwardian ladies.

NaughtyLittleElf · 01/05/2020 08:43

Brussel Sprouts are the devils vegetable.

The way the English pronounce words in English is the correct way e.g Herbs not Erbs.

AlexisCarringtonColbyDexter · 01/05/2020 08:48

I saw a tv programme that suggested henry VIII may have carried a rare Kell antigen in his blood that triggers an immune response after a first pregnancy. This would explain why his wives were only able to have one successful pregnancy and subsequent ones miscarried.

I don't like blonde hair. Makes a lot of people look washed out. Obviously, this isn't about the actual person/people. I just see a lot of washed out looking people about and wish they could add a bit of lowlight or something to their hair.

Plus the beauty industry touts blonde as the be all end all, it's just not. More like trying to look at the sun with all the light-coloured clothes, pale skin, blonde hair. Just too much. Some contrast would be nice.

leiaskye · 01/05/2020 08:53

BBQs are over rated. So much effort for a burger!

isabellerossignol · 01/05/2020 08:53

All the best Beatles songs were written by George Harrison. In fact, the Beatles would have been utterly useless without him.

dayswithaY · 01/05/2020 09:00

I agree about barbecue - all that smoke, undercooked meat and warm salad, always disappointing.

bobstersmum · 01/05/2020 09:12

Agree with bbqs! Burnt on the outside and possibly not cooked in the middle, I just can't enjoy them!
