Robin Williams wasn’t particularly funny.

ETA “Start” obviously.

I'd hope so. Depends who you speak to though.

I think based on all the evidence, and reading about some of the tragic attacks on babies and children, most people would definitely agree

Dickens’ novels are incredibly tedious. The only thing more boring was the BBC adaptations that ruined every Sunday afternoon of my childhood.

Oh god yes. My dad agrees. My mum, sadly does not, so there went Sunday afternoons.

Are you one of the people who likes listening to the radio stations that play about 20 songs over and over again on repeat?

I hate the radio - too much variety and chit chat. like to pick one shit mind-numbing song on spotify and play it on repeat for four hours whilst I drive the length of the M1

Rice cakes are not food. They are refurbished polystyrene.

Yess Dickens overrated as a 19thC english author in my opinion! Many far better ones.

There's a right batch now... Car Seat Headrest... Snapped Ankles... Wet Leg... I like some of their music, but I deplore their 'that'll do' names...

That'll Do is probably one...

But I can't bring myself to hate Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs... (though we call them 'Seven Pigs')...

I can spot a 6 Music listener a mile off with my good eye covered.

Too true. It's strangely worse than accidentally eating polystyrene.

Most men under 20 aren't attractive either, judging by the fact that women only swipe right on 5% of men on Tinder.

To be fair, I think the days of online dating have somewhat coloured my judgement since most photos men seem to put on their profiles are so bad, and I don’t tend to pay much attention to people when out and about unless they are a head turner - which seems to be rare these days!

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

Bahaahaaa! Love this. They’re fucking ridiculous.

People who smoke weed are losers

Parents who give their kids phones as babies are lazy

Parents of obese children with no underlying medical conditions are neglectful

Weed smells like cat shite
Cat ownership should be severely curtailed. They ate

Starmer should resign over appointing Mandelson, but then we might get Angela “let’s not pay our tax” Rayner.

Outrageous op, you reeled me in with your thread title only to shatter my illusions with your ghastly opinion of my fave ever actor 😭😭

my unpopular opinion is that avocado is vile, the texture, the taste just 🤮
in my experience gentle parenting is just raising brats…
probably my most controversial one… some teachers are just pure monsters.
dc have had mostly amazing teachers, some id even refer to as guardian angels however there’s been a few teachers over the year that have been pure awful. Now neither of my kids are angels, one has additional needs and they other talks way to much but even other parents have had similar issues with the same teachers. Let’s normalise not always blaming the kids because sometimes all it takes is a bad teachers to ruin a good kid. Vice versa too… a bad kid can ruin a good teacher.

Thank goodness!

He said the same. He also thinks you’re an idiot. Im sorry. I think it’s rude but that’s his opinion on you.

Private school is much, much, MUCH better than state school in every single way and people who say it isn't are mostly just bitter inverted snobs.
