Things that put you off something you like...

[Annette Curtain]

I once went sea fishing ( brave girl that I am )

I caught a large Codling and then started pulling a Mackerel in. The guy on the boat I was with took it off the hook and threw it back.

Now, that didn't bother me but my darling lady can't face eating one since.

Put her right off it has.

Net:-S

My brother put me off jelly babies by making a little squeak each time I bit into them when we were kids - he's got a warped sense of humour and had his eye any unrequired sweeties!

[Moos]

Ha, my brother did that with peas! Still lme 'em, though.

prawns looks like babies fingers.

Facebook...is putting me off people I otherwise like. Reducing otherwise sane, mature and interesting adults in the flesh into a series of infantilised, self absorbed, irony laden morons. And my own profile is worse.

I have noticed 'bee miles' on jars of honey now. Agree, it has that effect on me too.

[katie1997]

I think i know what Dita means about prawns. If you think of the really tiny ones all curled up and not those huge ones you can skewer for the BBQ.

[Salsaboy]

Is a bee mile the same as a human mile? Or is it like dog years, 7 to 1?

[katie1997]

Salsaboy, I know someone who keeps bees so will ask him :)

What Mr Ben says. Also that gruesome fraud "Lady" Gaga is putting me off music. Not just her own cheap derivative doggerel. All music. Stop her -NOW.

I have never been able to open a can of baked beans (which I lurve) without thinking of a news story years ago where someone opened up a can of beans and tipped out not only the little golden/red ball of yumness but a perfectly cooked mouse http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/wuerg/vomit-smiley-019.gif

I used to quite like Bright Eyes (tha Conor Oberst band, not the Art Garfunkel song, though I have a soft spot for it, loving Watership Down as a kid) until I went to a live concert.

His fans were singularly the least humoured most self regarding bunch of mopes ever and Coner, far from being the witty ironic satirist i though he was, was just as much of a self regarding, humourless mope.

It was about eight years before I was able to put on any of his songs again.

I occasionally indulge these days; a twonk he may be but he does write a good song now and again.

PMSL!!

I like cycling- but its those hills that put me off- whenevre i head south and hit crystal palace hill I seem to decide it is better to cycle to the bottom of the hill and back 3 times rather than cycle up it ..............

Just watching Northern Exposure on DVD, but in searching out where it was filmed , I discovered that the spectacular and sexually charged Maggie is now a host of Tea Party events who says that Obama stole God from her children.

Ho hum....

[Jeremy]

Ah, Janine Turner. If the Republican / Palin / Tea Party association didn't put you off, then the plastic surgery will.

Aaaaaaarrrrggghhh. Nutter alert!

Yep, that's me put off, and I'm only on Season 3. Sheeeet.

Christ knows what's the attraction of that swollen/bumpy lip look - it makes me feel a bit nauseous...

[StraferJack]

This is genuinely distressing news. I loved her
