[Closed] Things that folk would kill for that you think are a bit meh!

The Beatles

Daughter mentiond this after chocolate.

Coffee, "Barista" seriously, get over yourself and Tea - why does everywhere I work have to have a dirty little corner devoted to it.

Football, I've tried to watch it, it's tediously slow and the whole tribal element of supporting it makes my skin crawl.

Defenders - slow, loud, big on the outside, small on the inside, thirsty, ugly things which if you're a farmer who needs to collect sheep from a snowy field at 3am I can sort of understand (if for example you'd never seen a Land Cruiser before) but otherwise why?

Package Holidays - £3k for a week in some horrible Spanish Costa full of Britain First voters stuffing their second 'full english' into their face with a pint and a fag at 11am.

Super Cars, big fancy shiney things with a level of performance beyond the confines of the road and too expensive and precious to use on the track.

Bitter / Ale / Real Ale, whatever you call it, I've tried, it tastes like wood to me, and warm too, nah not for me.

Oysters. Get back in the sea!

he pays £150/month for Sky & broadband

How is that possible, even with phone, fibre optic and full sky package I pay no where near that, closer to 50%. Unless he has a lot of multi room boxes and that new sky q thing.

2Pac / Eminem / Snoop Dogg.

Don't geddit.

Cars, beyond the practical get me somewhere comfortably. I lose interset.
Watches and any other form of men's jewellery
Lego, it was ace when I was 9 but I've had no urge to play with it since becoming an adult
Any tv show. There's a few I like but if they stopped tomorrow I wouldn't be all that fussed.
Brexit, either way we'll muddle through and I can't trust the validity of any promise from either side, so lost interest.
Magazines. Too much repetition
National pride, ridiculous concept based on an accident of birth.
Monarchy, see above.
The Beatles, despite owning several thousand records and CDs I don't own one Beatles track.
Apple vs android vs Microsoft vs whatever. Use what works for you, its all technologically amazing with tiny differences.

Oh and agile methodoogy

My choices:-
iPhones and Apple product worship in general. I genuinely don't get it, when my MotoG does most of the same stuff for £100. Explain to me why you are prepared to pay £400 above that figure?

Superdry

Superdry is a genuinely interesting one. Hild (former BMXer, founder of Bench which he sold as a niche skate/street label for big money, helped with Superdry design) must have been laughing all the way to the bank.

Label aiming completely at the skate/street sellout market that's done incredibly well. The power of brand.

Unless he has a lot of multi room boxes and that new sky q thing.

Yep, that's what he's got.....multi-room boxes, Sky Q, fibre Broadband, oh & he pays £20 for BT Sport for some reason, which will be part of that.....I don't know what that gets him that Sky doesn't? More premier league matches, perhaps......

Bowie/Price albums - sorry no disrespect to the departed, just an out-of-kilter opinion!

Cycling's something I can take or leave

Duplicate posts.

Duplicate posts.

Being famous - I'd really not want chavvy halfwits coming up to me on the street for autographs on their norks or a "selfie" to plaster over Facebook to make people think they have an interesting existence, all because I bonked a gobby Geordie lass in a house full of other desperate-to-be-famous freaks and the ITV film crew.

You may not be surprised to hear I am having to endure "love island" which my girlfriend loves !

Starters at restaurants. What are they for other than to take up space that could usefully be occupied by pudding.

And beach holidays.
