I know, right? Like Russell Brand. Can't stand the guy, and no idea why so many women flock to him. Awful.

Some of these I'd refuse to live without such as beach holidays, football, pizza and sex Shock
Mine are:
Meat! Not all, I do like some but mostly it's overrated. I wouldn't thank you for a steak however it's cooked. Lamb! just the smell makes me want to vom never mind actually putting it in my mouth.
Someone else mentioned whiskey - same for me, I've tried cheap shit to very expensive and it all tastes like the devils piss! Except in Baileys - I can tolerate it then.
Salmon. I know it's healthy and full of good stuff and I've tried to cook it every which way to disguise the smell of, well, stinking fish and nope can't stomach it.
Ricky Gervais. I don't need to explain further.

Football overpaid idiots oooh look I can kick a ball in a net, now pay me millions.

not football per se, but the Premier League is overrated IMO. It's just the same five teams winning everything. The European leagues are even worse.

The80sweregreat · 01/09/2020 20:10

Any steamed fish or any kind of fishy dish is horrible but people rave about it ( looks sideways at dh)
His the one having the swordfish or red mullet on holiday ( when we could go on holiday)
Football
The money some of them earn is eye watering.
Savaloys or picked eggs or ' wallies' from the chip shop. People love these things! Just why? 😀

Absolutely love that this has turned into everything we detest 🤣🤣

Colin the Caterpillar cake from M and S.

I've seen people go on about it on so many threads as being amazing (no kids so not had a chance to taste at kids' parties etc) that I picked up the mini version (5 in a pack) to see if it really was all that.

It definitely wasn't...

Was just like a dry swiss roll.

Very underwhelmed.
