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.

Oh also agree that Wimbledon is so so boring and I'm annoyed it takes precedent over usual tv programmes 🤣 Seem to be hating the great British institutions here, dont get me started on Richard Attenborough..............

PG Tips are the ONLY teabags that make decent a decent cup of tea, all others are either horribly disappointing or actually horrible

Put the kettle on Flies I'm coming to join you Brew

Sexnotgender · 01/05/2020 18:47

Totally agree @WingingItSince1973

Brogley · 01/05/2020 19:00

Ringtons tea beats PG Tips hands down.

Carouselfish · 01/05/2020 19:06

Emma Watson cannot act. She is talentless. I would rather have a person at the top of their field as a spokesperson for equality.

Carouselfish · 01/05/2020 19:10

Oh and agree with a pp about films: we don't need female versions of already good films. We need new stories with better female characters.

MrsGrindah · 01/05/2020 19:17

This is one of the nicest offensive threads ever.

AppleJane · 01/05/2020 19:39

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

FliesandPies · 01/05/2020 19:47

Ah you will Mrs Doyle! Brew

Ringtons tea beats PG Tips hands down

Ringtons tea my arse - you've made that up!

Sparklingbrook · 01/05/2020 19:50

Twinings is the best tea.

Womanlywiles · 01/05/2020 19:55

Anybody who "curates" their wardrobe or home should be shot at dawn.

MouthBreathingRage · 01/05/2020 19:58

We need new stories with better female characters.

Hells yeah I'm on that hill with you. After watching the amazing Orphan Black, it's so frustrating to see the best others can come up with is rehashing old male-led roles/films for women*. Original stories for women-led roles can be so much better than some wank remake of Ghostbusters or similar.

*A big exception to the rule, Star Trek Voyager is the best Star Trek after Enterprise, Janeway could easily fight Picard for best Captain spot.

Has anyone mentioned Scottish macaroon bars yet? Those are the REAL macaroons.
Recipe... Take a small very soft boiled potato and mash in a bowl. Then start adding icing sugar, and more icing sugar, then when you have added the whole bag of icing sugar, add some more icing sugar.

When it is the texture of play doh, divide and shape into bars,

Then dip in melted chocolate, then roll in toasted coconut. then eat and be sick.

Now that is what you call macaroon. You may not have any teeth left but you will have tasted real macaroon.

My hill, anything else is not macaroon.

Musmerian · 01/05/2020 20:12

@serialtester - finally someone else who doesn’t like Attenborough.

Musmerian · 01/05/2020 20:17

@YoureAllABunchOfBastards and Jurassic Park.

ToPlanZ · 01/05/2020 20:26

Pork pie should only ever be served hot. Ideally with mushy peas and mint sauce.

The correct beverage to serve with fish and chips is tea.

Prosecco is yuck. G and T should be Gordon's or Bombay Sapphire with any tonic flavoured tonic in a long glass with ice. No rhubarb, ginger or other such pretense is necessary.

But most importantly the toilet seat belongs DOWN!

Nettleweed · 01/05/2020 20:34

Only the ‘Original Glazed’ Krispy Kreme Doughnuts are delicious - the flavoured ones are all too sweet and sickly.

And yes to Gregory Peck being the most handsome film star ever.

Poetryinaction · 01/05/2020 20:55

It's more like Camilla cabay-o.
There is no long eee sound in Spanish. i sounds like ee but not as long.

Mine is David Walliams cannot write
And Lord of the Rings is boring.

SheliaHammondDiet · 01/05/2020 20:56

Right I’ve just caught up and sorry I can’t remember who said what but:

Gravy is clearly the best - whoever dislikes it is wrong.

And everyone knows Yorkshire Tea is superior to all others.

Another hill: Jelly is disgusting. No one past the age of 1 should eat food that just slips down your throat.

Oh and to add, I’m starting to worry about how lonely some of these hills will be but at least you oddballs will nail social distancing Grin

Agreed

ellanwood · 01/05/2020 21:00

@Nettleweed is absolutely right about Krispy Kreme. Only the original pass muster. I think the same of crisps too. They should taste of potato and salt not evil artificial chicken-identical flavoured powders that give you contact dermatitis around the mouth.

BikeRunSki · 01/05/2020 21:25

I’m with @TitsalinaBumSquash, chocolate oranges are a waste of a good orange.

IgiveupallthenamesIwantedareg0 · 01/05/2020 21:33

The original question is what hill do you want to die on. My answer : Blueberry- My husband and I actually sang the refrain while eating lunch today.-- I get my thrill-- on Blueburry Hill -

TheRattleBag · 01/05/2020 21:35

@ToPlanZ

If you'd ever had a Percy Turner's pork pie, you'd change your mind.

They're heaven in hot water pastry, at any temperature!
