To ask for your hill you will die on? LIGHTHEARTED

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.

Mayonnaise is vile. Except garlic mayo, I'd drink that from the bottle.

Bacon should be neither smoked nor crispy, and brown is the best sauce on a bacon sandwich.

Wholemeal bread is nicer than white.

Steak is over rated.

All food based 🐷 apart from this one: Buying kids presents on their siblings' birthdays is a stupid idea. You teach them it's not their day and they learn to accept it. Friends of ours do this for their kids, and they're not even cheap gifts. On their daughter's last birthday I saw more photos of their son opening his presents than I did of the birthday girl.

@burritofan Macarons and Macaroons are completely different foodstuffs. Macaron is not a posh way of saying Macaroon!...

Weed is for losers, scummy - blugh!!!!!

WellDoneBridge · 03/05/2020 01:17

Not a fan of Beyoncé

The 'falling through the bar' scene in Only Fools and Horses is about as amusing as pancreatic cancer.

Carol Baskin is crazy but doesn’t deserve the amount of hate directed at her

Ugzbugz · 03/05/2020 02:17

Friends is absolute shit and not remotely funny. Miranda is embarrassing.

It's a t-shirt not a tee. A tee is what you stand a ball on in golf.

DeRigueurMortis · 03/05/2020 02:35

That The Smiths are overrated as a band - specifically the lead singer is an egotistical twit (but I will happily acknowledge that Marr is a very good guitarist).

Also that Instagram eyebrows should be banned. I'm bemused by the number of women sporting dark slugs over their eyes. It might photograph well but in real life it looks hideous.

MrsTerryPratchett · 03/05/2020 02:51

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

That's Muphrey's Law.

burritofan · 03/05/2020 06:54

@MiniMum97 You mean macaroons.

crispysausagerolls · 03/05/2020 08:45

@WellDoneBridge

YES!!! Yes about weed being scummy and yes about not liking Beyoncé!!!

@SodaSloth

Agree Nando’s is shit and anal sex is vile - even the concept I think is fucking rank. We poo from there! I don’t want to poke my poo passage with anything, no thank you.

BadApe · 03/05/2020 09:04

Going out for a curry is the worst way to spend an evening. It’s too warm, poop dons are dry, bitty and tasteless and only one of the sauces are ever nice, and curry is just unidentified hunks of cheap meat in brightly coloured neon sauces. You end up feeling too full and paying a load of money to feel like shit the next day. Yet everyone in England wants to go to one, all of the time

"Everything written by Dr Suess should be banned."

I let out a genuine horrified gasp at this one 😂
I love Dr Seuss

Carolduckingbaskin · 03/05/2020 09:09

@BadApe you are obviously going to that wrong curry places!

Lordfrontpaw · 03/05/2020 09:10

People who let (ie throw sticks for them to chase) their dog jump in the local lake (chasing the ducks and swans) where there are huge signs saying ‘keep dogs on a lead’. Birds are killed and hurt every bloody year, but hey, as long as Fido gets to play...

Cyclists who refuse to use the 3 cycle paths (one each side of the road and another just on the side of the path - all nice, new, wide and flat). And must cycle on the pavement instead. Get on the bloody path that was built and causes horrible traffic jams because the 4 lane road went down to a 2 lane one just for you!

All the people parking in the ‘this parking is closed’ site in the park (moving the cones, driving over the grass or driving the wrong way along the exit to get in.

All punished severely. Every one of them.

SerenDippitty · 03/05/2020 09:24

Barbecues are hugely overrated. And one where a gas barbecue is used is not even a barbecue. You might as well cook indoors if you are going to use one of those.

Montymorency · 03/05/2020 09:34

the best version of 'the importance of being earnest' is the one with rupert everett and colin firth

MinnieAnonyMouse · 03/05/2020 09:56

Curry may be the food of the gods but thai curry is the godliest of god foods.

If you write chest of draws / chester draws / could of etc., you deserve to have your access to social media selling sites society withdrawn until you can pass a test proving that you have changed.

Yoonique names are awful. Double barrelled first names for girls are incredibly dating and not creative (Ellie-Mae, I'm looking at you).

Kate Middleton is entirely vanilla and the Waity Katie nickname summed her up completely.

Cucumber is fucking disgusting and yes, I can tell if you have taken it off something before giving it to me to eat.

crispysausagerolls · 03/05/2020 10:33

Kate Middleton is entirely vanilla

What’s wrong with being vanilla?

BadApe · 03/05/2020 10:34

Curry is baby food for adults.

ellanwood · 03/05/2020 10:41

@crispysausagerolls - I agree. Most things I love are 'vanilla'. I love KM's dress sense. Vanilla is under-rated.

OptimisticSix · 03/05/2020 10:49

Yes @MouthBreathingRage!!! Completely agree, we recently rewatched the entire Game of Thrones and Danerys is heading the way she ended from the start. Think DH was a bit bored of me yelling "see I told you she's a sociopath" constantly 😁

Gibbonsgibbonsgibbons · 03/05/2020 10:54

Cyclists should accept that they have to give way to pedestrians - and adults shouldn’t ride bicycles on pavements. Every towpath walk is spoiled by cyclists zooming up behind - GO AWAY. Especially just now when the roads are bloody empty!

If you don’t pick up after your dog you should have your nose rubbed in it/have it walked through your carpets.

Films are like short stories I prefer the character development possible in a series/novel.
