Anyway, I’ll disagree with you on memory cards. Life is too short to buy crap storage. Whenever I’ve been tempted away from the likes of Sandisk I’ve always regretted it.
I wasn't even thinking of differing brands here, just the different capacities, write speeds etc all offered. apart from the text printed on them they look identical. I wager take them apart and people still cant tell the difference.
To someone who just needs something to slip into their point and shoot camera for their holiday snaps they are functionally identical (as good as they would ever need) so you may as well buy the cheaper (slower, smaller) version.
someone shooting 8k video likely needs one of the more expensive options.
But I don't think the first person would be ignorant that a differnce exists between them. Even if they couldn't use the word gigabyte in a sentence.
Tom Howard yup. A novel lasts an hour or two unless its really complex.
Ha ha, thread of the week!
Food (I have zero understanding of 'foodies', although I respect where food comes from, and the artistry that goes into making nice food. I just can't get my head around spending hours to create fancy stuff that will be gone in 15 to 20 minutes. Chicken, rice, and some greens is just fine by me.)
Gigs (I have seen many, many bands play live, but would rather just listen in my living room. Gigs take way too much extroverted energy for me.)
Watching cycling when I am no longer a cyclist (When I rode, I was obsessed. All I watched for a good few years was GCN, and every minute of every Tour I could manage. Not now, though. It's like, if I can't do it, there is no point in watching it.)
Breaking Bad (For all people sing its praises, I have never seen a stupider show. Unbelievably fast transition from nerdy, goofy-looking chemistry teacher to dissolving people in acid and making meth on an industrial scale.)
John Mayer
Lauded as an absolute genius on the guitar. On paper I should love him based on influences but I think he's absolutely awful. Just bland beyond belief and nothing I've heard from him moves me at all
Craft beer – either too happy or too citric.
I like hoppy and I like citrus. Can't abide sours.

I don't care how good your hi-fi is, there is no substitute for live music. Mind you most of the gigs I go to now are classical.
As for golf, my mum, bless her, used to say I should take it up as it was good for business. My response was if someone wants to talk business outside the office I'll see them on the crag.
Facebook and Instagram.
Just don't get them. I worked in IT for years and know loads of users but just don't understand them or how to use them.
I'd much rather enjoy what I was doing than waste time trying to tell & show others how much fun I'm having while not actually having fun because I was too busy trying to post about it in my phone.
Never succeeded in getting back into road cycling The Grand Tour. Escargot - despite the fact I love shellfish.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. ALL of my friends love it, I can't stand it.
Expensive Hi Fi, vinyl, audio quality, all that jazz.
Give me Spotify, a reasonable Bluetooth speaker or a pair of headphones, and I'm happy.
People.
modern music.
cars that cost more than bikes.
fish based products.
cars that cost more than bikes.
So just cars then?
Red wine - I like the idea of a glass of red by the fire but I always feel like I would rather be drinking something else.
City breaks - I like architecture, photography, sitting outside a pub watching the world pass by but I always feel like I would rather be in the countryside somewhere.
Shawshank Redemption.
Everyone seems to love it, but It's so bloody obviously a Christian/Jesus allegory its hard to not be massively cynical about it: Andy is innocent, the warden is ultimately forced to answer for his crimes, Andy perform miracles (beer, the library and music) has disciples, is reborn through the tunnels he uses to escape and stands in the rain in the shape of Jesus on the cross, he even leaves Red directions which work as evangelical scripture, and Red finds Andy dressed in white in a fantasy paradise
Ergh, it's vile.
And don't get me started on the Green Mile.
Terrible films.
The Labour shadow cabinet and SKS
