Alan Partridge (also popularity of Miranda, British Bake Off and the like. Most TV progs actually)


Candy Crush.


Golf. Just why?


YSL Touche eclat and Bobbi Brown's shimmer brick. Utterly useless products that everyone raves about.


Hair straighteners. I have boring straight hair. One of my friends has pretty much the same 'style' of hair as me. She offered to 'straighten' my hair whilst I was round at hers getting ready to go out. Mystified. I just don't 'get' this craze at all. Esp if your hair is not remotely curly.


Modern jazz.


Those Meerkats.


Cannabis.


Orla Kiely/ Cath Kidston stuff faux twee/vintage.


Body piercing.


Birkenstocks.


Bacon on a burger.


"Chick" Lit. Esp the phrase itself. Ugh.


Lists (thank you Jah) ;-)

We used to drink a particular cough mixture by the bottle. That was after I tried acid.

Well, let's see. One night, when Mummy and Daddy were very much d̶r̶u̶n̶k̶ in love, Daddy put his thingy in Mummy's front bottom and, er, now let me just think..

Not toasters, unless they come in the form of a pop-up event, cafe etc.

Pibe... no audio at work... but the video alone is pretty cringeworthy.


I would actually nominate Range Rovers - particularly pimped-out ones sporting after market body kits and badges such as "Overfinch". Just horrible, horrible things for people devoid of taste.

      Flu and Covid jabs locally

      By Sue · Posted

      Thanks ianr. Does everyone get the same Covid vaccine? Re your other things, I don't think the NHS records  are very joined up in various respects, despite (or because of?) the various NHS and GP apps. If you are in the vulnerable group for flu, and also for Covid, is there any reason why you are choosing to have one jab but not the other? Your choice of course, but as I understand it, both flu and Covid are expected to be very prevalent (can't think of the right word) in the UK this Winter?

      So what you are saying is that shops encourage shoplifting as it is good for their business?  Rather a curious view. However.... for every stolen good there has to be a market, whether from a shop, burgled house, stolen bike so those buying knock off goods are guilty too.  As you infer. And one size doesn't fit all, petty shop lifting, kids being naughty, those desperate due to poverty - including addicts both to illegal substances and 'legal' including gambling, and those making a business out of it are very different.
