Oh yes to Pandora, it’s utter shite.

Lots of popular films - I was made to see Pretty Woman when it came out (one woman in our group was a drama queen and ‘had’ to see it) how it was awful. I was ready to rip my eyeballs out pretty soon on. Ditto Notting Hill.

Skiing.

@SerenityNowwwww you are wrong.

  • impossible to be the right temperature doing it - Always either freezing or sweating;
  • ludicrously long transfers from airport to resort;
  • bloody hauling really heavy stuff about all fucking day;
  • risk of serious injury or death;
  • High bellend quotient
  • too much food on the go so you’re always stuffed;
  • Ruinously expensive.

I could go on.

Going out for drinks.

The drinks cost loads more than if you buy them from elsewhere.

And you can't hear each other talking/can't all sit down/have to pay to get there.

House gatherings are so infinitely better.

I’m never leaving London thanks!

@ilikebooksandplants I'm never going back, I couldn't wait to get out! Massively overrated IMO. 🤣

MulticolourMophead · 03/09/2020 08:04

Fresh coriander.

Bu then, it looks like I'm in the small group of people who can't taste it properly. Those descriptions of it tasting like soap are not quite right, but not far off.

Zoflora - all the scents are foul
Mrs Hinch - the woman cleans her house and people go mad for it. I clean my house and NOBODY notices!
Cats (mine in particular) - sadistic little serial killer who rejoices in leaving me the most horrific crime scenes in my back garden!
