@powershowerforanhour

Loads of things people have already said.

Anal sex (boring, a bit painful after a while unless he hurries up and finishes, always the slight background fear of a sudden rectal tear ie risk of potentially catastrophic life changing injury in return for....absolutely fuck all. Everything else has a much better risk/benefit profile).
Mornington Crescent
John Wayne
90% cocoa dark chocolate
Poitin and other ridiculously high ABV spirits

Not to derail the thread, but why are you doing it if you feel it's dangerous?

Oysters - to me, they are a slimy version of sea water!

Stripesgalore · 31/08/2020 22:28

Smartphones. Addictive little fuckers. Ruined family time. Work and other people can get hold of you 24/7. Can’t live with them or without them.

I’d love to uninvent the internet. I actually miss the dial up costing a fortune days of my childhood where you had to switch off or risk bankrupting your family.

FairyAndLavender · 31/08/2020 22:31

Underwear. I don't wear any if I'm wearing leggings! Which is often Grin

Minky sponges. I love to clean but I hate these. They don't 'shine' with the other side. They leave it all streaky Envy

Baths. I feel all hot anf flustered with a few minutes and want to get out

Loyalty cards. Only good one is Boots

Hair dye. Don't change your natural colour unless it's because of grey. Rarely people suit their box dye.

Coffee
Coffee shop's
Coffee bores, people who think that liking a particular type/method/ brand of coffee makes them interesting.
Coffee "culture"

Please, it's vile revolting addictive stuff that gives you a buzz.

Tea on the other hand is the drink of champions and should be consumed hourly or more! Grin

Oh, and Cornwall.

Too crowded and a bit militant, South Wales is so much nicer.

I won't have a word said against Nandos though!! It's sooooo much more than just chicken and chips! Shock

SerenityNowwwww · 31/08/2020 22:37

Alicenwonderland · 31/08/2020 22:41

Another vote for Nando's! Overpriced, dry chicken.
