Things taht in all honesty you're not that bothered about...

[????]

...food.

Don't get me wrong I don't like eating crap, I like cooking and watch the foody programmes and can appreciate some good nosh. But, when I see and hear foodies and their eyes lighting up as they describe a mushroom etc. Nah. Sorry.

What a load of sh*te that stuff is.

Still horses-for-courses, eh ????'s

NETTE:-S

[????]

I'm not that bothered about it out of the house nettie, where I drink bitter - best bang for your buck in the home

[Mick Mac]

Dont let the wife hear you say that

[ratty]

Global Warming - fook all I can do about it while the developing world is polluting like fook. Sorry but that's how I see it. The only reason I do not fly as much as possible is that the scumbag Tories have cut my wages by 25%

[Huguenot]

Since that's manifestly a claim of considerable (and insulting) fiction, I assume you don't get a fook for some other reason:

UK - 8.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide per head per year.

US - 17.5

China - 5.3

India - 1.4

Vietnam - 1.3

Somalia - 0.1

Agree completely with Quids in the OP. I like to cook, and enjoy a good meal (although I also enjoy eating crap), But really I just eat because I need to eat.

Sitting in a restaurant for ages whilst everyone enjoys 5 courses us my idea of hell.

[dukesdenver]

Travel. Airports are hellish and flying is boring. I'd rather stay at home.

[KidKruger]

TV.

Probably 5% may be interesting, the rest just seems to be designed so people can switch off their lives every evening and live through other's (mainly) pointless 'experiences' via dire reality programming.

God knows why you can't by a TV that has no reciever, just can be plugged into DVD/digital players for films etc which you own already. Maybe it does exist, if so let me know, would help avoid paying for tv licence.

Having a 'real' Christmas tree...it will only end up in the recycling bin.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

[Otta]

Football.

Compared to a few years ago, when I watched as much of it as I could.

I just find I can't really be bothered with it all anymore.

Still enjoy it to an extent, but don't try and tell me it actually matters in any way.

[Brendan]

Who is in government. I mean does it really make any bloody difference? Really?

[MrBen]

Cars. And especially fast or fancy cars. They cant be driven properly in the UK, cost stupid amounts and don't really help anyone do they? When I was a kid in the 80's I wanted to own a porsche one day. Now I really couldn't give a toss.

Edited to add: They also make you look like a total knobhead.

[StraferJack]

Absolutely. But annoyingly I can't quite shake it. I'm much better at not being upset when my team loses but I still enjoy a good win. And none of it has anything to do with my life. It's crazy

[Jah Lush]

This thread.

[steveo]

Ditto

[Brendan]

No, I?m still quite engaged by them but semicolons, meh.

[Otta]

Absolutely Strafer. I was over the moon on Sunday when Liverpool beat Chelsea, and I still curse when they drop points to the likes of Swansea.

A few years ago though, it would ruin my week.

[red devil]

Who's number one in the poptastic chart...

[Otta]

MP Expences. Yeah yeah, naughty naughty.

Couldn't quite believe the uproar, or that anyone was shocked by it.

Just get a monitor with an hdmi input

Animal rights.

I mean, deliberate cruelty is clearly wrong, and minimum standards of animal husbandry are necessary, but otherwise? Human society is predicated on the exploitation of animals, but animal 'society' is predicated on predator and prey, and tbh we're just a bit more sophisticated about it. Either you accept that (in which case you can't pick and choose - leather is OK, fur isn't) or you go the whole hog - go live amongst the lions and take your rightful place in the food chain.

> "God knows why you can't by a TV that has no reciever

Economy of scale... I expect the receiver is a cheap bit of electronics, it's probably cheaper to stick a receiver in every TV than to offer two different models.

Actually - as Huguenot says - it is possible to buy just a monitor, but large, TV-style monitors tend to be niche/professional/commercial type products.

I'll look into that, especially if it's same quality screen.
