I like brussels sprouts. One of my friends hates them and calls them 'budgie heads'. Ewwww. Really puts me off them now.


Anyone else been put off something for no good reason? (Sorry if this thread sounds like crap from a "women's magazine". Feel free to PM me with funny stories about your pet if you like. And some recipes. )

Prawns. Someone once said to me that I wouldn't eat them if they lived on land - imagine one running out from under the sofa. Now every time I go to eat them, I imagine them running out from under the sofa.


Sometimes that bothers me (so I say it to everyone else too, to bother them).





Edited - missing a bracket

Maybe strictly not in keeping with the title of the thread, but Michael Bolton's image put me off listening to his music. However, after being directed to his back catalogue on you tube today he actually has a decent voice and a couple of tunes that aren't half bad.



The alternative answer is chocolate, having throwing up a large bar of Aero after being knocked unconscious at school. This was then re-enforced after the rast dropping in Mars bars story in the 80's (I am now wondering if I made imagined that story?)

A poster on here who shall remain unnamed, informed me that My Name is Earl is made by Scientologists and is basically a propaganda vehicle for their philosophy/religion/twaddle.


I literally cannot watch it any more, which is a pity as it's quite funny.


It was Strafer Jack by the way.

The marketing for 'Natural Source' products. I love the mint shower gel but when I read from the bottle that it has taken hundreds of mint plants to make one small bottle of the stuff, it puts me off. My wife bought the honey flavoured shower gel recently and it had the same line regarding the number of 'bee miles' it took. I think they should review their advertising campaign, it just seems really wasteful to me.

Really? REALLY?? Or was he just messing with you? Strafer's a wrong'un and no mistake, but I'm quite partial to a bit of Earl. Please don't ruin it for me.

The two main actors - Jason Lee and Ethan Suplee - are both Scientologists, but...


It was the Daily Mirror that claimed the show's creator Greg Garcia was also a Scientologist when he wasn't.


Since both the leads weren't automatics for their roles, it's unlikely that Scientology was behind their appointment, nor do they have much impact on content.


There is clear evidence, however, that Strafer Jack has very questionable reading habits....

Ha -these stories are doing a great job of putting me off many more things. I'm soooooo relieved I don't like prawns.


Ratatouille (which I used to eat a lot in my younger, veggie days) was off the menu after someone asked 'You DO know what they make that from, don't you?" :(

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
