Went away for the weekend with the tribe and this was the theme raised by daughter... she mentioned chocolate as something shes not fussed about but everyone goes crazy for.
Among many, i started with Luther. Pffffffwhatevertelly.
MEAT
Religion
Football.
Cars. All of them. Some are nice to look at in abstract but would I want the hassle/expense of owning one, not to mention the environmental damage on my conscience? No thanks.

Islam
The Queen.
Whilst we're on telly: Breaking Bad falls into this category.
Oh, and steak.
Agreed on Luther, Elba's acting was truly terrible.
For me its cheese, my most hated food (and no, I don't like pizza).

Congratulations on the literal answer to the thread title 😉
Wife mentioned Australia. She looked like she was having a lovely time while we were there!

I'd go with Audis too.
Football spectating.

Don't understand why people choose to lionise other individuals. Very odd.
Most telly and most cars, especially unnecessarily loud car and motorbikes.
Oh and Coldplay.
Krispy Kreme
This has been the most sensible STW thread I've read in ages.
Really, really, really expensive bikes. Anything above £2.5k and I'm not sure I'd dare ride it with any vigour.
Insults.
Are people really that precious?

I'd agree but one of mine I mentioned on the weekend was Radiohead.

Everything being 'connected' and available.
Visited a mate last weekend who couldn't stop going on about how everything was synced & 'in the cloud' and how he could watch something on his ipad & then swap it to his TV or send music to the living room & change the track while taking a dump or blah blah blah.....
I like technology, but really can't be arsed with all of this.....
Probably ties in with my general ambivalence about Apple stuff. Said bloke was also trying to convert me to Apple because it is all so amazing, while describing everything that I could also do with Android/Google if I could really be arsed.
His laptop cost £1850, he pays £150/month for Sky & broadband, his fiancée has just managed to clear a massive overdraft, but pays £50/month for an iphone 6.
HA HA! You have got to be shitting me!?!
Audis.

I'd go with that.
Also getting more pissed off with rapidly 'advancing' technology the older I get. I don't care if it has lots of added add-ons I don't know how to use, and I assure you they won't make my life better and will slow my Mac / phone / food blender down.

Yeah, that. Because it's only 'synced' for about six months before a forgotten password needs resetting or it's all upgraded, thus wiping out all the set-up you painstakingly made to avoid all the aforementioned unnecessary shite.
Gah.
