Not aibu just intrigued. This thread was done on here ages ago and it was so fun. I have two:

Pasta is gross, I'll eat it but its not delicious as people make it out to be its cold slimy dough.

I'm sure she's nice but Beyonce is overrated.

And stones are a ridiculous way of measuring the weight of humans, use kg or pounds like the rest of the bloody world

Another cinema one. The best cinema trips are solo, late night, midweek showings when there is no one else seeing the film.

This sounds lovely I haven't been to the cinema in years but might do it this week...

I used to do mid week middle of the afternoon ones watching foreign films… bliss

Instant coffee is perfectly nice, and sometimes I prefer it to the real thing.

Agree agree agree! I have the odd cup in the early afternoon sometimes when I'm knackered way too soon in the day and always enjoy it

Trifle is the best dessert.
Daytime TV is awful, the presenters are always way too suspiciously happy for what?
Ed Sheehan's song "shape of you" is SO fucking creepy

Afternoon tea is a load of bollox, whoever thought “I know what I’ll do to have good time, go and eat a tiny quiche” it’s so boring and I’d rather be in the pub.

Dressed up to the nines whilst doing it too 😂does seem quite odd. So expensive too

Shortbread tastes of nothing and is dry and pointless.

A totally joyless way to consume 100000 unnecessary calories.

The word ‘poorly’ is twee and childish and should be banned

Urgh yes. I want to leave the room in embarrassment when people say “poorly”. Ghastly.

I don’t like pockets in dresses or skirts. (I do have big hips though, which makes them look shit).

This is the only one I agree with (well, the Masked Singer sort of)

DarlingEddie · 19/02/2024 21:17

And yes, sloths are not cute. They have so little energy that if a baby sloth falls off its mum and lands on the ground, the mum will not come down from the tree to get it, but will leave it to die instead.

DD is really into sloths and I am carefully not telling her this fact.

There’s nothing wrong with wearing trainers without socks.

That whoever invented the Masked Singer needs to be hunted down. And locked in padded cell with it on a 24 hour loop for the rest of their lives.

I could add many many other programmes to that, anything with Celebrity in the title, any 'starring' vacuous air heads, eg Love Island, the Essex thingy.

Absolutely! I don’t give a stuff what they look like (though I do have some nice ones).

And Only Fools and Horses, I get such awful reactions if I say that usually.
