Agree with Louisiana on sports, especially participation as a spectator - yawn. Other overrated things:


Parties

Dulwich Park and that cafe in it where you have to queue for an hour

Hairdressers - more hairdressers have made me cry than boyfriends

Most TV

Those smock tops that seem so promising but make you look like a spacehopper ... particularly when teamed with -

Skinny jeans

Low rise jeans

MBTs - I'm only wearing them because I was stupid enough to fall for the hype and I can't bear to throw the money away

G-strings - very unhygienic and make your trousers sit badly at the back

Low-rise shorts - make all women look pearshaped


I feel better now.

To quote his Keefness:


Exactly right! (on everything here)

Agree with Ms B on this one. Over-rated. I only forgive parties if good food is provided.

Yukee!


And the smock tops are particularly bad with big tits.

MBTs?

Dreadful things

Catch 22 - the main conceit aside,just dull.

Home-made mayonaisse - for people who are just too damn lazy to go out and buy salad cream.

Whisk(e)y connoisseurs - it's tan coloured hooch, it gets you pissed. Enough said.

CAMRA - look there's real ale already, stop campaigning. NOW.

Finnegan's Wake - a 'circular' novel apparently. A circular hand movement to it.

Neil Young - stop bloody whining man.

Dolphins are pubs sometimes, so they can't all be bad. The Dolphin in my home town is one of the oldest buildings the town has, it follows the contours of the land and the doorways were meant for four foot dwarves or fit limbo dancers.


most films,

most jobs

most peoples opinion of themselves.

Now I'm not suggesting Charlie Parker is overrated, I think he's great, but he seems to have hit untouchable status when a lot of his stuff, frankly, wouldn't be out of place in a screwball RKO production with Claudette Colbert in!


I blame that Clint Eastwood film with old droopy eye playing Bird, what was it called again?

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
