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.

*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.*

Agreed. It also makes a very good hot sauce for ice cream sundaes

Miranda Hart is simply not funny.

Genius. I will do this next time I buy some, if I haven’t eaten it all with a spoon before getting the chance.

Miranda Hart is simply not funny.
As well as Mrs Browns boys ..

I don't understand people that develop full blown crushes on characters in either movies or books. I understand finding the actors playing the characters attractive but not the MADE UP character. To me it's like saying you fancy Father Christmas.

I do this so often it's practically a hobby. Every series, movie or book I start I will develop a crush on a character and obsess about it for a few days, Google the actor or author, then forget about it.

Miranda Hart is simply not funny

THANK YOU! i never got it either, she isnt funny

I don't care how much you love your dog. I don't.

And when I'm out on a walk, I don't want it to come running up to me demanding attention, jumping up, whatever. I don't care how friendly it is - keep it the fuck away from me.

Gravy is revolting and makes your whole dinner taste of soggy bland meaty banality. And I don’t care if you make yours from vintage red wine with real lard and fillet of beef like your granny taught you, it ALL tastes yuck and spoils perfectly nice food.

Love this thread!!!

Sausages are made with meat. You can have food made from other stuff, but then it's not a sausage.

Hanging out clothes when you have a tumble dryer demonstrates only that you have way too much time.

It is never both cold enough for a woolly hat, and warm enough for flip-flops. It's one or the other.

Shirts and polo shirts do not have a the top button done up. Unless it's a shirt WITH a tie.

Sandals on men is a crime.

Disc brakes are for mountain bikes, not road bikes.

Beans should only be served to people eight years old and under. Nine if they're at the young end of the school year. In a similar vein, tomato ketchup may only be used by adults for chips. (No, you're wrong.... only chips. No, not those either, only chips.)

Anyone who can't read an actual map shouldn't be allowed out of their village/town in a car.

People who wait until they've packed all their shopping, and then decide to try and find their card to pay, should let everyone else through while they look for it.

If you arrive late to the theatre and I have to stand up to let you past, I can tutt as loud as I like.

And yes, Ross was a dick.....

Is your hill in Glamorgan?

Cream goes on before jam.

@LongPauseNoReply - I'm a child of the 60s, and macaroons were a huge thing then; almost flat and the size of a CD with an almond on top (main ingredient was coconut)

I may have a big mouth, but there's no way I'd manage one of those buggers in one go, like I would a delicate Amaretti! 😄

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.

Something like that may have gone on, but it would have been more complicated than that as Mary I was actually the result of one of Katherine of Aragon's last pregnancies and was her second child to be born living. Before Mary, Henry VIII and Katherine had a baby boy called Henry who died at a little over a month old, and poor Katherine had several stillbirths in between.

Too much fuss about not having spoilers.

I still enjoy watching or reading whatever when I know the end.
Spoilers won't kill you.

Dolphins are smug bullies

Because they are the cats of the sea. Seals are the dogs of the sea and therefore lovely.

My hill: IT'S FUCKING ESPRESSO. If you say expresso you should be given lukewarm, weak Nescafe. And it's one panino but I'm not dying on that hill, just judging you silently.

Hens are lovely with individual characters - and don't belong on a plate next to rice nor pasta.

I agree hens are lovely individual characters. They also taste delicious. Especially WITH GRAVY (looks sideways at that very lonely hill you are standing on)

I am rampaging up some of these hill sand KNOCKING YOU ALL DOWN! bloody love salad cream, hate mayo, don't give 2 hoots about anyone in friends, agree with Mrs Browns boys being crap....(mutter mutter)

Hmm, here is my hill - phones should be illegal for anyone under 18, enforced by law.

"Hanging out clothes when you have a tumble dryer demonstrates only that you have way too much time."

Tumble drying when it would dry on the line means that you would stamp on baby turtles and dine on baby polar bear stew, given the chance.

When I was growing up, we had macaroons (coconutty) and french macaroons (almondy).

Cropped trousers/jeans look stupid. They are only acceptable if you are going to a fancy dress party as a 50's character.

Trainers (running/sports ones, rather than Stan Smiths or Vans or something) look absolutely shit with jeans. They should never be worn together.

I have never been able to use a tumble dryer without shrinking something. Bought a fancy Miele dryer recently thinking this would help matters.

It did not.

tumble dryers should only be used for sheets and towels - to make them lovely and soft (not hard and d scratchy!)

but I do have enough space to hang clothes properly indoors

Ok so firstly,

All the Harry Potter opinions on here are in fact wrong.

The only wee issue with that story is that Harry and Ginny ended up together. Ginny was an awful character, Harry deserved better (like Luna for instance)

I would have loved Mike to have been and original FRIEND because Paul Rudd is a glorious human being.

My most lonesome hill will undoubted be one where chocolate doesn't EVER belong near an orange, that's right Terry, you can go fuck yourself!

that's right Terry, you can go fuck yourself!

What did I do?

@Ponoka7 "Tumble drying when it would dry on the line means that you would stamp on baby turtles and dine on baby polar bear stew, given the chance."

Would my clothes still be dry?

I'm so sorry, I get irrationally irate at Terry's Chocolate Orange, it's a sickness..

Discworld is right up there on my list of favourite things so you're grand @MrsTerryPratchett.

@DorisDances - I've never heard of that combo but it sounds so good!!! Is it just plain pasta?
