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.

    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.  
    • Some suggestions for mandatory action might include:- 1. Permit retailers to display facial images on the premises  of previous offenders at their local store. 2. Sound an alert and display images on screens inside the store when the FR flags up a person entering who is on the national database of shoplifters. 3. Physically bar recognised shoplifters from the premises. Should they attempt to force entry then charges should be pressed under aggravated trespass, which  a criminal offence under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. 4. Change the law to allow retailers to have enhanced powers of citizens arrest. What would you suggest? The UK seems to have the most lenient policy towards shoplifting , probably because of other demands on the police force. On the plus side, they may have more time for it now that non-crime hate incidents will no longer be investigated. Other countries, such as the USA have much more sever punishment as does Singapore where repeat offenders or aggravated cases can be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison, a fine, or both.
