Hotel Chocolat chocolate. I've just had the salted caramel puddles and they were nothing to write home about (and I love chocolate).
To be fair, I have plebeian chocolate tastes Blush and it could just be that their milk chocolate has a higher cocoa content than most, and doesn't taste creamy enough.
I still don't enjoy their chocolate though.

Over to you.

Greyhounds, they’re boring and lack personality.
Harry potter, extremely repititive and not a particularly great story either.
Dishoom, no, it isn’t a great Indian restaurant, it sells British slop that has terrible flavour profiles.
Candles, wax melts and reed diffusers, if your house needs something to cover up the smell open the windows and clean your home.

Hot tubs. Bubbling away in dead skin cells, faecal matter and other nasty things.

Ed Sheeran. A lovely man by all accounts, but he really only has 3 songs and all the others are just a rehash of them.

Another vote for Ed Sheeran (can’t sing or write songs)
Top Gun (both of them)
range rovers

Saw Ed sheeran in concert. Went with kids and I'm not a massive fan

He was incredible! His talent is outstanding

I don't understand all the Ed sheeran posts.
Even if u don't like his music you can surely accept how talented he is .
Also just a nice guy .

Overrated? Weddings!

Pizza

I really want to find the decent pizzas here.because French and European ones really can be the best!

TheGirlOnTheDragon · 20/06/2022 05:40

Oh fuck yes celebrity, this weird obsession with people you have never met? I cannot wrap my head around why anybody even has the slightest interest. It makes me feel icky, like it's kind stalkerish?

I have just read 'Verity' and it was terrible. How is she a best selling author?

I read “It Ends With Us.” Badly written. It felt like a 14 year old fan fic writer had written it.

I will add wine to the list (I could add more, but OP asked for 1 thing).

Weddings and marriage

NFTs

University (I got so much more out of the work placement)

Alexa

Nail salons

(I used to say expensive takeaway coffee, but I have stupidly fallen for it and have almost one a day and It’s financially crippling but I love it)
