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.

Ah the classic MN, Father Christmas bullshit.

Personally I think Father Christmas sounds incredibly wet and twee. The people who think they’re so superior for saying Father Christmas are both deluded and factually wrong in the claims they make. And that’s a hill I’m willing to die on.

Kevin McCloud should not be on the telly. He has no back to his head and luminous teeth and knows nothing about architecture or buildings. I only watch his programs to see him put a hard hat on and it slip off because he has NO BACK TO HIS HEAD!
DH disagrees but how can he? A person with a post for a head is just that! I wonder if I could earn a fortune by developing prosthetic implants for heads?

@startrek90 - I’ll join you on the Beatles hill. Never understood it, almost all of their music is shit.

Isn't a macaroon a coconutty biscuit? And a macaron a little.meringue sandwich thing?

Also, I say Santa born and bred in England. Yes, Father Christmas is more British. But I was raised with Santa in The North Pole, rather than Father Christmas in Lapland. I can't change it now, so l'll go with what I know.

@WeirdAndScary, don't un-lighthearted this by making sweeping, offensive statements. Father Christmas is English, not British. I'm not English and always said Santa. Calling something American as if that makes it derogatory is also rude. Another hill for me to stand on.

The words 'despite being' are missing from my post. Apologies.

Jack russells are better at rodent control but are fortunately too slow to catch birds.

Win win. And they don't bring half dead rodents into the kitchen to dismember slowly. They just grab, shake to death, and look at you for a reward.

Equally it is Father Christmas and not Santa unless you are American.

Woah woah woah WOAH.

Santa is British, America stole it.

Equally it is Father Christmas and not Santa unless you are American.

No, it's definitely Santa where I'm from, and I'm not American.

Mouth breathing I never meant for it to sound as though being American was derogatory! I'm sorry if that's how it came across!

I'll be honest I didn't realise it was quite such an offensive hill to die on so I might retract that from my last stand!

Apologies if someone has already posted these but
Pineapple has no place on pizza EVER
White chocolate - revolting and not actually chocolate
Marshmallows are inedible
Satsumas are the only small orange worth bothering with. I am ridiculously happy that they are currently in the shops!
Thought I should end on a positive

The name Beauchamp is not pronounced Beecham. Clearly it isn't. Look at it! It's just been bastardised like that because back in the day English people couldn't pronounce it properly. Now people think they are clever when they reveal how it is pronounced and call you idiot if you pronounce it otherwise.

Same with Belvoir castle. It isn't pronounced Beevuh, why would it be?

I have similar , but less strong, thoughts about names such as Featherstonehaugh, which is apparently pronounced Fanshaw. Using the logic of the first two we'd pronounce ballet as bal-ette and croissant as croy Sant.

The Featherstonehaugh one is clearly an abbreviation of a word no one could be arsed to say. We don't do that with other long words?

I will defend this one, bring it on. I don't even want to start on some of the others on this thread....

Santa Claus is a bastardisation of Saint Nicholas which is european.

Macaroon

Sneaky!

People who drink tea that is more milk than water and weak as anything, are welcome to their own hill. I shall build a fence around it, to save all us normal tea drinkers

I was making notes as I read through this thread and have realised I need the entire length of the Pennines....

Trifle is the dessert of the gods but should never contain jelly.

Fevertree tonic is unpleasant and Schweppes or Britvic are much nicer.

Mayonnaise improves 99% of savoury food.

Bacon for a sandwich must be so crispy that you cannot bend it. This is the perfect excuse to put butter on the bread. For other dishes, I'll allow a slight flexibility but it should never flop!

Hoppy beers taste and smell like a mucky dishcloth. Dark malty beers are much nicer.

You're not pagan you just like a bit of tie dye and dreamcatchers.

Sex is observed at birth, not assigned, and it's unchangeable no matter how many bits you cut off/add on.

Rum and raisins individually are delicious but Rum & Raisin flavour anything is unutterably vile.

ET is a shite film.
David Bowie, Bob Dylan and the Spice Girls are all terrible singers
If you have a wind chime in your garden you're an annoying neighbour
Monica was the worst character in Friends - she started off ok but because more neurotic, shrill and childish as the series went on and ended up just awful.
Jaffa Cakes and Hobnobs are dreadful. Bourbons are the best biscuit.
The Big Bang Theory isn't funny.
Lotus biscoff spread is the greatest thing to come in a jar.

That's a lot of hills...

People who say "chest of draws" or "Its in the draw" should all be rounded up and left on their very own Island of Eejits ...

The fact that anyone could put David Bowie in the same sentence as the Spice Girls, let alone the same hill is an abomination....

Instagram is for vain ,simpletons

Oh and if you let your dog bark in the garden whenever it pleases then you are a selfish arsehole . No exceptions

Mushrooms are lovely but mushroom soup is disgusting.

Regarding Harry Potter, professor mcgonegal was basically the only adult who had her shit together and the rest of them need to get over themselves and grow the fuck up.

Very few things actually need jetwashing and it should be done only under licence by trained professionals who are obliged to turn down said jetwashing if it not necessary (instead of every other bloody day ndn. Your patio is clean now bloody stop it. Fuckwit.)

People who let their dogs wander off lead or on extendable leads on shared use cycle/walking paths are always arseholes. Particularly the ones who know they have a dog that chases cyclists.

One good thing about coronavirus is that Wimbledon has been cancelled - the annual tennis bore fest that takes up hours and hours of tv time and cocks up favourite programmes by regularly overrunning. And it's on for 2 bloody weeks, more if wet!

Lotus Biscoff spread is only for eating with a spoon, or melting and dipping yum YUMS in (thank me later).

It would be unnatural to put it on toast.
