Yep, agree with this. And the Bake Off, how the hell is that so huge?!?!



But this is getting too general, of course people are saying Big Brother and x factor.


What I'm interested in are those things that your mates / like minded people are all raving about (either now or in the past), which you may even have pretended to enjoy, whilst actually thinking "this is really shit".




DISCLAIMER: I have seen Withnail & I quite a few times, and don't think it's shite, just not as hilarious as everyone else in the room seemed to find it EVERY time.

Fair shout.


I do wonder whether we all look back on it through rose tinted nostalgia goggles.


I had some lovely times in there, but usually during the day when myself and a couple of friends would all be on sickies. Would sometimes go there for a last drink after the pub, but quite often there were some people in there that I really didn't like, and it was too busy to move.


But as you say, it WAS a bit different, and I think that's what people were desperately keen for back then.

After seeing sushi in that list I was going to say seafood. But that wouldn't really be fair, because it's just something I don't like, not don't get.



But then that led me to think of fads in food that I don't get, and hog roasts and pulled pork sprang to mind.


I'll happily eat both, and have nothing against them, but I have no idea why they both became so popular, as neither are anything particularly special.




Pulled pork does get extra points for having an excellent "Carry On-esque" name though.

Almost every subgenre of electronic dance music. A four-bar phrase repeated over and over again, punctuated by various noises or nonsensical words. Rubbish. (With a few rare but notable exceptions).


Olives. They taste disgusting.


Flat Whites. We already have enough combinations of coffee/water/milk, you're just being pretentious.


Shakespeare. The tragedies aren't exactly heartwrenching. The comedies are tragically unfunny. The script format doesn't lend itself to enjoyable/involving reading, and you need a glossary to understand it. On stage it is almost always hammy and over-acted. No thanks!

Thank goodness - I thought that one was just me.

    • Another recommendation for Oddbods. As proof of our satisfaction we've asked them to return for some more jobs, which is sign we were happy with their work
    • Most of the groceries shops in Lordship Lane have a security presence…curious thing is I and another woman recently saw a shop lifter lift and not pay for a couple of packet of steaks, veg and bottle of wine..  Literally walked Pat the tills, one member of staff and security guard despite someone else going in front by a few people and mentioning person in question! I have to say, speechless and admired their bravado - I would not have the guts and knowing my luck, if I accidentally didn’t put something tru the till despite receipt would prob get stopped! Yes, worked with families, homeless and other people who were struggling for food so I do understand why they do it.. sad when you think about it, that in this day and age, all sorts of c people need assistance and help from community in general, food banks, olio etc….
    • Just not keen to have all these  things  in my body… having said  that, thinking about Covid again as need to come to London to two hospitals for poss overnight stays. 
    • And another one, number 6, has just gone passed as well!  I presume that the LTNs are blocking them from a more useful route. Or the surrounding road works.
