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?

    • Hi there, Our Lexus NX300H, (reg RF18BWO) was stolen off our driveway last night, Monday 27th October. It was there at 9pm, and had gone by 7am. If anyone has any footage on their doorbell or Ring, that would be super helpful. We have asked some neighbours and reported to the police etc.  Most upsettingly, there was a box of old family videos in the car boot, in an old Sainsburys box (photo attached). If anyone sees these dumped at the side of the road, please contact me asap! They are priceless videos that my deceased grandparents took. Thank you for any info, Jojo  
    • Another shout out for Milk & More - their app allows you to alter the order, add or subtract to it and also to schedule holiday stops without having to leave messages in bottle - so more secure. You do have to set up a direct debit with them, but I haven't had any problems with that myself. I have had one or two missed or late deliveries in several years, but not really a problem - only very occasional and caused mainly by delivery-person illness. And very much feels like an old-fashioned milk delivery. They do special seasonal offers as well. More expensive than the cheapest of the super market milk prices, but for that its at your door, fresh and no bother.
    • Enjoying the nostalgia and memories.  As with others, we get ours through Milk and More (is part of big co, so there is that against it, but it's hardly a secret/niche thing) - returnable glass bottles of milk, orange juice, yoghurt, and much more besides (as per the name). And yes it comes in the middle of the night in an electric vehicle. So can still get out nostalgia fix, doubled when the Riverford chap comes too. 
    • This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.
