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.

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?

    • It does seem a common business strategy these days. River Island has just announced a similar restructuring: closing 33 shops and demanding that the landlords of a further 71 locations take a haircut. 
    • If anyone has any spare tickets for Crystal Palace on Sunday let me know!
    • The tenant's business has already failed. If the landlord doesn't accept it, they can have a vacant property, stand in the queue of creditors, and get paid little or nothing. It's a gamble that the restructuring will work and the tenant will start paying rent again. Commercial properties are often hard to let. 🤷
    • An inquiry will put a huge amount of time and resource into looking at what happened in the past and why it happened and who was responsible and, in a year or two maybe more, a report will be produced and actions may or may not be taken, some of those responsible for bad decisions will already have resigned and moved on.   Given that we now already understand some of the issues that allowed this awful behaviour to continue unchallenged, my concern is less about whether there is an inquiry to examine what happened in the past but about what is being done right now to protect girls and young women from predatory and exploitative men in whatever race or identity they come in. Inquiries examine the past but don't necessarily solve problems and they certainly don't come up with conclusions quickly which is why they can often feel hollow.  I'd rather see perpetrators and those that let the perpetrators act with impunity, actually being prosecuted and an inquiry won't do that.  I suspect that's why some MPs voted against an inquiry. But do feel free to give me examples of inquiries that really made a difference and actually changed things in a timely and effective way.
