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.

As long as you can make yourself understood, spag doesn’t matter

Cards against humanity isn’t actually a good game. Most people don’t play it “correctly”; they just place down the most outrageous card regardless of whether it “fits” with the prompt card or not. And then once you’ve played it a few times the cards are repeated too much and it’s just not even funny for the shock factor any more.

I will give it points for helping to reinvigorate the board/card game market but there are way better games out there.

Some people need to shut the fuck up.

@Bibijayne

I agree with you about Rachel and Chandler

The Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit are rubbish books. Pages and pages of 'song' lyrics and foddle-de-doddle-de-do bollocks.

I agree with LOTR but the Hobbit isn't bad, in fact it's good (imo).

That's Muphrey's Law haha! Yep!

@SerenDippity if your custard is the correct consistency you don’t need jelly

@Quillink I of course disagree I love our language and it’s odd spellings but each to their own.

@FudgeBrownie2019 my parents were similarly mystified when a neighbour complained about being “unable” to stop their teen son watching too much tv in his room and other associated bad behaviour.

Dad handed her a pair of pliers...bewildered she looked at him “cut the plug off! You can reattach it when he starts to behave”

When my brother kept getting caught not wearing cycling helmet dad took wheels off his bike!

I had a similar concern with dd when her dad bought her a Nintendo ds against my wishes. As predicted she was besotted and once...and only once! neglected school work so I locked it in the car! She didn’t get it back until she’d done the school work and promised she wouldn’t neglect in the future.

Some people need to parent and not be wusses!

I really want to know what my house smells like!

me too! I suspect dettol & garlic!

When my brother kept getting caught not wearing cycling helmet dad took wheels off his bike!

Brilliant response! I laughed out loud at this!

Would be even better if the brother was 40 years old and a lycra clad cycling club member!

My hill on MN is

Posters who are in a bad mood or have long abandoned their sense of humor should stay away from threads titled lighthearted.

Basic scone = scone, butter
Standard scone = scone, butter, jam
Posh scone = scone, butter, jam, cream

Cream appearing anywhere but last is plain wrong.

Strawberries do not belong in a salad. Ever.

Haha! No he’s in his 40’s and has a big ass motorbike now! He’s a cop and mum worries sick about him.

@AppleJane

CreamAND Butter on a scone is madness

There's not much difference between instant and filter coffee. It all tastes nice to me.

There is a difference between fresh and instant coffee but I like both of them. Sometimes an instant is what I fancy. In fact I keep ground coffee, Azzera and Gold Blend in the house.

Fixed that for you @Quillink

(Yes, coffee tastes terrible and tea is mediocre. I am convinced that many people only drink either/both because it’s the “thing to do” And I don’t understand why the hell I should just force myself to drink it until I start to like it. And yes, I plant my flag squarely on this hill and will defend it to my dying breath)

Star Wars films. Nope.

Can I add all sci-fi films, tv prgrammes etc.? I wouldn't go and see Chariots of Fire at first, thinking it was sci-fi connected with a book famous in the 70s!
I will excuse a few episodes of Quantum Leap though.

Tinned fruit is much nicer than fresh. Fresh fruit is a duty, tinned fruit is a treat. Preferably with "evap".

And no one genuinely prefers dark chocolate to milk, they just want to appear more sophisticated.

I do. The hard stuff 85% cocoa.

It is a breadcake. Not a bap, a barm, a cob or a roll. A breadcake.

Is that because your region says so? It varies all over the country, I recall my late future MIL asking if I would like a teacake with some ham on it, I was very confused, where I lived, 40 ,miles away, a teacake was sweet and had fruit, often served toasted.
Why can't we accept differences, they make us interesting!
I still recall my the 7 yearsold daughter following her Daddy into a service station in America and calling from the door, See if they sell rubbers, you've worn mine out!

'Milk' chocolate isn't chocolate. It is sickly infantile pap. Kit Kat? That isn't chocolate. It's an abomination.

This reminds me of (a long time ago when the programme was quite new) when a friend asked whether I watched the X Factor and I said I didn't because I didn't much like science fiction. (I was thinking of the X Files.)

I'm going to have to spread myself across a lot of your hills, in particular:

Margarine and other such spreads are vile synthetic compounds barely a molecule away from car oil

Mrs Brown's Boys is not funny

Food cooked on a gas barbecue is not barbecued

I add:
Bananas are fucking disgusting and anyone who thinks it's acceptable to put the peel to one side rather than straight in the bin is a lesser human being

they just want to appear more sophisticated.
