    I know the world would be a very boring place if everyone’s taste was the same, but at the moment there are two things I just don’t get.
    Bristol cars.
    Kate Tempest.
    I may be missing something but try as I might I can’t get excited about either of these.
    Are there things you just don’t get (excluding random posts like this one) or is it just me?

    A Bristol is in my dream garage, along with a Honda NSX and a CX Safari.
    🙂

    I don’t get SUV’s, or the trend to ever less practical vehicles.
    Ever tied getting anything into the back of a Juke?
    Or those stupid new bulbs in headlights.

    And brown cars, obviously.

    Appart from that, crack on.

    Football, Religion, Reality TV, Facebook, Twitter et al and comparing your kids, house, car, life (delete as applicable) with that of people you don’t know.

    Oh and speaking as someone with a kid (and second on the way) who’s relatively new to the whole thing: the whole madness of having kids seemingly working around the clock. Preschool club, school, after school club, ninety hobbies etc. Each to their own, but strikes me as a bit mental. Let kids be kids and arse about in the woods etc.

    Sorry, that got a bit rant like.

    Fashion.

    Seriously considered I maybe autistic or something, it seens so arbitrary, ideally redundant and most definitely odd. Surely a bike is a bike!? Shoes are shoes, etc. Form should ideally follow function, but everyone of us has to follow fashion in some capacity? I understand the concept of beauty, and it being in the eye of the beholder – but this fact itself only serves to further confuse me with regards to everyone contemporaneously discarding Tuesday’s hive-mind objet d’arse for Wednesdays objet d’art.

    Weird.

    Also wrestling. It’s fake. Fans know it’s fake. wtawwf?*

    * ermergerd! think I just *got* wrestling! It’s like that porn where they convince an ‘innocent’ smoking hot mom off the street to do gymnastic grunting stuff on camera with surly men. Surly men wearing balding mullets! The viewer easily suspends disbelief for the required duration 🙂 Wrestling is the same except the smoking hot mom is now another surly man with a balding mullet. Minus the penetrative elements. One hopes.

    Like a great many things in life, I don’t get the point of starting a thread about things you don’t get.
    You either do, or don’t, end of.

    People who live on busy(ish) roads, and drive forwards onto their drives.

    And then have to reverse out through their fence line, blind across the pavement and try to edge into the road until someone decides to let them out.

    Raving loony lefties
    Anti religion people who “touch wood” and won’t walk under ladders.
    People who argue for the sake of arguing, how on earth do you enjoy it? Get a life.

    Men – Shaving your head when you’re not going bald.
    People who knock hats off your head and think it’s funny.

    Eurovision, it’s just a load of crap

    Cars getting bigger and heavier

    Breaking bad , really not any good just a load of silly scenarios and arguing

    Classic designs being reinterpreted and losing the very thing that made them great but keeping the downsides e.g. modern mini, it’s heavy and large and doesn’t handle like the old proper one but the shit letterbox front screen is retained and the boot is the same size

    Tory blind faith in privatisation trying to create a market where there isn’t one, e.g. water, trains

    Reliance on natural gas that we buy from Putin and other awful regimes when we could develop renewables and then sell the tech whilst screwing over a despot

    It has been suggested that over millions of years our monkey ancestors were more likely to survive if they treated every rumble in the bushes as a potential tiger, and not just a breeze. Over a long enough timescale the apes/people were descendant from successive generations of cautious survivors and this translated to modern humans who were unwilling to take a risk even when it seems illogical.

    Imagine if Morgan had been bought by an eccentric Russian multi millionaire in the early 80s and he set about using ex lada designers to modernise and breath new life into the brand.

    ABBA – absolute garbage. How the hell are they so revered

    Fanatical football fans – I love sport and a great football match is fantastic, but hating entire cities/parts of cities/people of different religions because of football and basically making your football team your entire raison d’etre is just mental

    How the majority of STW is anti Tory, Cars(especially on tic) and the Daily Mail.

    But they are probably the top three faves of the UK generally.

    Pubs. Noisy and depressing if you’re not into drinking.

    Football.

    Conservatism too unless you’re rich enough to not give a sod.

    Men – Shaving your head when you’re not going bald.

    Amen brother. If you’ve got it, flaunt it. If I could grow a full head of hair I’d have a mullet more glorious than 80’s Pat Sharpe, Gaz Topp and Swayze in Point Break combined. It would be a thing of utter beauty. Grown men would weep at the sight of it, knowing that they could never again see something so truly wondrous and women would faint in adoration.

    The Smiths – depressing drivel
    New Order – tuneless drivel
    Politics and those that drone on about it* – boring drivel.

    *Mostly on STW.
