Inspired by a clip I just saw on Instagram.

Deep breath.

Here goes.

Robin Williams wasn’t particularly funny.

ETA “Start” obviously.

Hmm, not sure if this is unpopular, but I do wish our news and media, in general, would be less USA centric.

Lucy Letby IS guilty.

Prince Harry was never good looking. His eyes are too close together.

I have a thing about people whose eyes are too close together. My granny said you can’t trust them 🤣

I have a few.

I agree with the new Merlin annual pass pilot scheme.

XL bullies should be euthanised, there should have been no certificate of exemption for them. Any breeds that were traditionally bred for fighting should also be euthanised.

Salad cream is the work of the devil.

Milk is disgusting, the farming practices to produce is are questionable at best, it tastes horrible, makes your mouth feel like you have thrush, cheese tastes like a gone off version of that. There is nothing appealing about it at all.

Vegan cheese has very little going for it, other than it’s not cow cheese.

Have to disagree with a PP - I find dairy grim and wish restaurants would revert to doing more vegan stuff

Absolutely yes. If he was around today he'd be writing scripts for Eastenders rather than being lauded as some kind of literary genius. He churned out maudlin, cheesy pap by the yard.

I have to agree with this, being eternally half-way through Bleak House (which is the best one, I think) and totally defeated by Oliver Twist. But I did enjoy the Sunday afternoon serials - Great Expectations was good. But I prefer Jane Austen - and don't get me started on bloody George Elliot and her miserable endings! As for the Brontes someone should have taken a pair of scissors to Wuthering Heights. Anne is the best one.

Stanley cups should only be used for throwing at people that carry them

Unless it's' The' Stanley Cup. Don't throw that at anyone it weighs 35lbs

If you can't beat them join them.

I couldn't give a shit if a Transwoman has a piss in the same toilet as me.

I sincerely hope that some day, you experience life as one of the most vulnerable so that you know what it's like to live in the real world.

You don't seem to understand that care for the vulnerable relies on a core that functions

Chanel no 5 smells amazing in me - our skin can alter how good or bad perfume smells - flowery girly perfume always ends up smelling sickly on me

Anne IS the best one!! Couldn't get through any of her sisters' books but The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is a delight!

@wanttokickoffbutcant maybe you know this but it tastes like soap due to you having a genetic variation it affects at least 5% of the population

I’m laughing because I read your comment and assumed it was about frozen breast milk tasting of soap when it is thawed 😆 I had this and went back to find the original commenter to express solidarity but nope!

It depends on the disability. An anencephallic baby is best aborted, it will die in pain within hours of birth and the parents will have horrifying memories rather than sad ones.
Years ago a friend's baby was anencephallic, and the condition had not been diagnosed. She spent months feeling she had birthed a monster, the effect on her was traumatic. The doctor who missed the signs was subject to investigation.

The best thing David Bowie ever did was the prologue in The Snowman.

Edited

Did you see him in Extras? Genius!

This is topical for me - for the first time ever, I engaged with Tommy Robinson material today, interview he did on the Triggernometry YouTube channel. Based purely on that, him in his own words, I thought he was likeable, not racist, and, for very many different reasons in his back-story, very brave. Crazy brave, in fact.

Perhaps look at some of his history and convictions. The man is an unapologetic racist and islamaphobic grifter and thug.

Evanescence are one of the greatest bands of all time. 🖤 Amy Lee has an amazing voice, I never get tired of listening to her music. 😊

It's just a bit of fun love.

We'll see. 🤞
