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.

That’s my hill. Get it right or I will fight you!!

It’s my hill too. My 11 year old can join us up there.

Tomato ketchup should be kept in the fridge.

It literally tells you this on the bottle.

@MooseBreath Snape is a creep and I’ve never understood why everyone thinks that ‘Always’ is a romantic sentiment. Snape was infatuated with someone as a teenager, she never showed any romantic interest in him. In fact, she dated the boy who bullied him throughout school. In the books, Snape is nearly 40 (?) and has been harbouring this teenage crush for someone who never once showed any romantic interest for 30 years. His feelings are allegedly so strong, he’s prepared to protect the offspring of the man who bullied him for years by dying. The death of this woman, who had never shown any interest in him, dated, married and had a child with the man who bullied him, cause Snape to turn his back on his life and choices up to that point and whilst they were death eaters, they were his friends and probably as close as family. All that aside, he never seemed like a good teacher - always too obvious that he wasn’t interested in the position he had and played favouritism.

Custard is fucking grim.

Will Ferrell is just not funny. In any film. Even Elf.

Dolphins are smug bullies

Would they have though? Or had she become a typical female character - silly menz can't organise themselves so she had to step in to do it for them.

Yes, I think they would have. She saved their backsides a number of times. And was the only one with two braincells to rub together, out of the three of them. Maybe because she was the girl, I don't know. Maybe because she's just resourceful? Not all the girls were organisers- Luna, for instance. Tonks was pretty capable, but i didn't see her as being cast in a caretaker role. I wish Hermione hadn't been married off to Weasley in the end though. She could have done so much better.

Don't get me wrong, the book isn't a feminist masterpiece or anything, but I do think Hermione was a worthy character.

Buttering your wheetabix and eating it like a slice of bread is tasty.

Anyone who calls women 'females' is bad with women. Especially if you are in the fitness industry.

SheliaHammondDiet · 30/04/2020 20:36

I’m really not happy about all this HP hate. I’m climbing each and every hill to do away with you.

Another hill: Ketchup is gross.

@SheliaHammondDiet

What are your views on mayonnaise?

Flummingbird · 30/04/2020 20:38

@RenegadeMrs I'll join your hill for the weetabix, as long as you use an extra bit of butter on your finger to get all the crumbs at the end...

Smelly candles and wax melts are crap. Yes they smell but I don't want my house to smell like mandarins or Care Bears or whatever else they have.

Sparklingbrook · 30/04/2020 20:38

Margerine should be illegal.

Only Fools and Horses is funny. The first time, but not subsequent viewings. Once you have seen Delboy fall through the bar then the funny is gone.

Bohemian Rhapsody is terrible and goes on too long.

Surely you jest? Victoria Sponge is an abomination. It's the dessert equivalent of beige sandals worn with socks.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 30/04/2020 20:39

Amy Adams should have been nominated for Best Actress for both Arrival and Nocturnal Animals in 2017, and won for Arrival. She wasn't nominated at all, and Emma Stone won for La Land.

Alongside John David Washington not being nominated for Blackkkklansman it was one of the biggest snubs of modern times

Also The Shape Of Water is the WORST film to ever win Best Picture.

@3catsandcounting those are amaretti.

Cats are better than dogs. This hill is getting crowded.

Bibi Mayo is the best condiment and it goes with almost every food.

Snape was terrible. Ross was terrible. The accents in Peaky Blinders are dire. Mrs Brown's Boys is awful and I don't understand how it's so popular and why it's always on. Jamie Oliver is a smug git.

BendingSpoons · 30/04/2020 20:41

Die Hard is not a Christmas film. When I say I want to watch a Christmas film, I want to watch something light hearted like Home Alone, Love Actually, the Holiday. NOT something that gives me bad dreams and just so happens to be set at Christmas.

Cheese is not dessert. It is great, but not dessert. Nor is fruit, although fruit salad is (just about).

RenegadeMrs · 30/04/2020 20:43

@Flummingbird yes!

PatriciaHolm · 30/04/2020 20:44

The correct use of less vs fewer. My pedant self will die atop that hill.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 30/04/2020 20:44

@BendingSpoons

Agree and sick of people trying to claim cool points by jumping to claim it's not only a Christmas film it's THEIR FAVOURITE Christmas film.

Like they've personally never seen Muppets Christmas Carol Hmm

A pound of muscle is not heavier than a pound of fat! Grrrrrrr

She saved their backsides a number of times. And was the only one with two braincells to rub together, out of the three of them.

Yes, but my point is that she never allowed them to figure out if they had braincells all of their own. I think she would have been written to wipe their arses for them if it became plot relevant. The two boys never had to think, because Hermione was there and she was clever. Oh, I'm not saying she wasn't naturally smarter than them, obviously she was. My argument is that it's part of why Harry and Ron never grew as their own characters, all three only ever had their own roles to play - the arrogant hero, the weak friend with no strengths of his own wanting a bit of glory, and the sensible smart girl to 'durr' at the boys and keep them in line/sort out their mess and had a cry every few chapters. They never evolved from that.

Anyway, I think it's a total case of agree to disagree when it comes to HP discussions Grin.

Justabadwife · 30/04/2020 20:45

@lampan make room on your hill, I'm coming up.

BumbleBeef30 · 30/04/2020 20:46

Bacon sandwiches should only ever be customised with vinegar. No ketchup, no brown sauce, no mayonnaise. Salad cream is acceptable.

TeaAndHobnob · 30/04/2020 20:49

Smooth peanut butter is an abomination

Macaroni cheese is a SIDE DISH NOT A MAIN COURSE

Plain dark chocolate is better than milk

The book is always better than the film. Except for Harry Potter where both the book and the films were boring.

Oh yeah. Harry Potter is rubbish.
