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.

Agree about it being ‘university’ not ‘uni’.
‘Supper’ is a revolting word.
Unnecessary apostrophes.

Sparklingbrook · 02/05/2020 15:18

I have no issue with Uni, it's just a form of shorthand and everyone knows what you mean. I will refer to 'DS and his Uni mates' not 'DS and his University mates,' that sounds worse.

The hill I am currently dying on

DS1 must go out Into the fresh air at least once a day.

So far today he has either been asleep or reading a book in bed. (He did appear briefly at lunchtime ). But I am insisting he walks the dog with me before he moves into his evening activity of Xbox.

This is my hill and I am going (probably) to die on it. Anyone would think I’d asked him to skin live kittens the fuss he is making.

DarkDarkNight · 02/05/2020 17:16

Haven’t read the full thread yet so maybe this has been said.

The Sopranos last episode was a fantastic ending to the series. I loved it, and I am prepared to die on that hill.

LuckyAmy1986 · 02/05/2020 17:23

Liam Hemsworth is better looking than Chris Grin

peaceanddove · 02/05/2020 17:29

I wasn't advocating that anyone should only consume1000 calories a day in perpetuity, I was just using a generalisation to demonstrate it's calories in Vs calories out.

And I will not only die on the 'uni' hill but will also annex my surrounding hills and cover them in barbed wire and machine gun nests to defend the sanctity of the word UNIVERSITY.

ChilliCheese123 · 02/05/2020 17:36

@LuckyAmy1986 yes especially Liam in the hunger games, at the Whipping post. It’s a bit sick to like that scene isn’t it haha

HesSpartacus · 02/05/2020 17:50

I've got anothjer one: Fleabag is crap. Her look to camera brings me out in hives.

slipperywhensparticus · 02/05/2020 18:06

Keenu Reeves can't act but he can do broody and as a younger man his arse looked great in tight trousers

The ending in the divergent trilogy sucks its stupid actually most of the last books are stupid she is divergent suddenly fucking everyone is then she dies ffs in the most pointless manner ever

User7429001 · 02/05/2020 18:07

It's avocado NOT avo
And
It's not yo-gurt it's yogurt

slipperywhensparticus · 02/05/2020 18:07

The ferengi exist because Darwin doesnt exist in star trek

BrooHaHa · 02/05/2020 18:46

It's not yo-gurt it's yogurt

I think in America it's yo-gurt. Yog-urt in England. No idea about the other English speaking countries.

LuckyAmy1986 · 02/05/2020 18:55

@ChilliCheese123 haha yes! He’s so hot in that, and everything...!

TSSDNCOP · 02/05/2020 19:10

Glad you got that off your chest @peaceanddove Grin

Greenandcabbagelooking · 02/05/2020 20:51

Jenny Lee is the least likeable character in Call the Midwife.

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 02/05/2020 21:43

@LuckyAmy1986 and @ChilliCheese123 I watched Isn't It Romantic this morning which aIreally enjoyed, well worth a watch and am watching Extraction now which is like a live action Call of Duty, very gruesome.

They're both ridiculously good looking, but I think Liam is more gorgeously pretty whereas Chris is ruggedly handsome. I'm happy to investigate further purely in the name of research of course. Wink

peaceanddove · 02/05/2020 22:31

@TSSDNCOP, thank you I had to go for a bit of a lie down after all that Blush

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 02/05/2020 23:03

Proper sherry trifle is the food of the gods. Jelly transforms it into shit.
Dill makes salmon inedible, or more inedible.
Star Wars goes downhill as soon as soon as Leia's shuttle is boarded. The opening shot is fantastic, then we get 40 years of bollocks.

forsucksfake · 02/05/2020 23:03

Alcohol should never be an ingredient in dessert/sweets.

Ketchup should be banned. It is foul-tasting.

Skimmed milk - why not just use water?

SpilltheTea · 02/05/2020 23:09

Tea is disgusting and so is coffee.
Doctor Who is awful.

SodaSloth · 02/05/2020 23:12

I don't like Nandos, I don't get the hype that surrounds it. If I want chicken i'll go to Mcdonalds. I hate chips. I hate tights. I hate it up the bum, if you want to put your willy up there then you have a willy up yours first and then you'll know why it ain't happening. I hate women who act stupid to get men to notice them. I hate trout pouts.

I will die on my hill single and bloody happy

RosesFan · 02/05/2020 23:54

Cheryl Cole is not the nations sweetheart (TBF I think that ship has sailed) she is aggressive and racist!

Graphista · 03/05/2020 00:21

This is one of the nicest offensive threads ever. Grin

We need new stories with better female characters. happy to join this hill too

Inc the love for captain janeway however as I’m on the Star Wars bill my vote may not count

On tea - scottish blend has my vote and I’ve even converted some Yorkshire tea lovers as it’s even stronger

Telling people to simply drop to 1000 calories a day and watch the weight drop off is, frankly, stupidly dangerous advice. hear hear extremely stupid and dangerous post.

The spag hill I metaphorically bite my tongue all day every day between mn and fb

Could of & similar is bad enough but “his” when they mean “he’s” and the rest of their writing shows they were educate past infant school level? PLEASE it’s deliberately intended to make you appear thick when you clearly aren’t just fucking write properly!

You’re both wrong - its yoghurt! When was the h dropped here? Yogurt is American spelling

Graphista · 03/05/2020 00:22

And of course there's an error in my spag paragraph!

EDUCATED

fucking autocorrect'

MrsAvocet · 03/05/2020 00:34

Children should never be bought bikes that they will "grow into".
Every copy of every Carry On Film every made should be destroyed.
The Nissan Juke is quite possibly the ugliest vehicle ever manufactured.
Pouring gravy onto roast potatoes is stupid and disgusting.
Everything written by Dr Suess should be banned.
Twitter was better before the character limit was increased.
Classical radio stations should never play anything jazz related (unless it was written by Shostakovich).
Food and drink should never be flower flavoured. Lavender is a scent, not a flavour.
