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?" :(

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
