Subscriber nudge+ Posted September 15, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 15, 2019 A bit of Sunday randomness for a thread... Inspired by me noticing people posting in the Comedians thread - because I can't fucking stand stand-up comedy So what are some things that everyone except you seems to like?

Rucksackfranzose Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Cola and other soft drinks, much too sweet for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted September 15, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 15, 2019 If it's watching any type of sport on tv then it's Golf, Lawn Green Bowling and Darts, I went off watching them because of my brother-in-law who is possessed in watching those sports and even playing them, go around for a visit and he is sitting there watching them with his remote control switching the tv back and forward and talking non stop about the games and I don't know how many times over the years he has asked me to go and watch him play and me saying to him "FUCK OFF..." I wouldn't mind actually playing Golf but not Darts or Lawn Green Bowling, yuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer Pepsi than Coka Cola and I can't stand sugar and have my coffee with no sugar, we paid a visit once to the wife's big sisters and she made a cup of coffee, I took one sip and spat it back in the cup, she had gave me her hubby's coffee by mistake and he takes 3 big teaspoons,s of sugar in his tea or coffee, I rushed to the loo and rinsed my mouth out as the taste nearly made me sick.

I'm the same... Don't really like anything sweet to be fair. Sugary stuff like cakes, cookies, chocolate etc., it's not that I hate it but I don't really care for it. Fruits are probably the only exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted September 15, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 15, 2019 I can remember when I left the army and got a job as a stock control clerk at Ferranti's in Dalkeith, Edinburgh, I was forever adding up stock, taking away stock and adding into a ledger and working out wire % for an order so when I finished working my brain just switched off doing mental arithmetic etc. Went to a pub one night with Rab my brother-in-law and I said I would play some darts but when it was my turn to score my brain just went blank and I could not add up or subtract scores quickly enough and I told the Rab then "You can fuck this game off with me..." and I gave him back the darts he lent with the chalk and headed off to the bar and just got plastered instead.

Just F1, MotoGP is my second favourite sport, were it free to air over here I'd watch it religously. I think it's the glamour and commercialisation I hate about F1, though I'm not into cars either so the literal mechanics are of no interest either. Just don't get the draw or excitement.

Can certainly relate to that; one of the reasons why I also generally prefer other racing series where there's little to no media and entertainment biz circus.

Harry Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 For me it would have to be seafood. The fancier the restaurant the more it seems you're meant to have a dozen oysters or mussels or swimmer crab or salmon or whatever... Some "hatted" restaurants the seafood options take up more than half the menu. I don't get it. Oysters are terrible but in the best restaurant are made to taste passable... But if I'm at such a venue why would I blow the opportunity to have amazing food like a perfect steak or lamb shoulder in favour of a just passable oyster dish? I don't get it at all... Do people just pretend to like seafood to be cool? I'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto all though I must admit some times the storyline's in Emmerdale aren't that bad, but EastEnders is the biggest load of shite you can imagine and the storylines are pure rubbish and to think the amount of murders, rapes, abortions, drug-related stories, beatings that have gone on would make Walford sound like the size of the United States of America or Europe. I have lost count how many times the Queen Vic has been set on fire and risen from the ashes, just waiting for another Dirty Den to appear because he was killed and buried under the floorboards of the Queen Vic and the storyline would be that he had a twin brother named Den 2 as this is him!!!! I was working with a guy years ago who came from the East End of London and he said a lot of East Enders can't stand the show because all they show in the soap opera is Dot Cotton and the fucking Laundrette, the show gives anybody the impression that the East End of London is full of Laundrettes as you never see a washing machine visible in the show so East Enders can't afford washing machines.

Do people just pretend to like seafood to be cool? I'll never know. I don't like oysters and I'm not a big fan of squid but other than that I LOVE seafood. Fish, crab, lobster, scallops and especially prawns/shrimp. Could eat it every day For me it's the combination of the texture and the flavour.

Moderator Tommy Posted September 15, 2019 Moderator Share Posted September 15, 2019 I never ate seafood as a kid apart from the occasional fish sticks. I'm more open to it now, but I stick with coalfish mostly. I like the Filegro products from Iglo. These ones are fucking tasty: I know, I know, it's not proper seafood bla bla. I don't care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love fish but funny enough not Oysters, when I was young growing up in Tilbury Docks in Essex we would have a fish man call down our street mainly at the weekends morning time ringing a bell and yelling "FRESH WINKLES...FRESH WINKLES..." and a horse pulling a barrow, my old man would go out and buy some winkles all wrapped in an old newspaper, he would give me and my sisters some and we would get a pin or needle, pick the eye out then pull the winkle out, beautiful, I loved them days as a wee nipper.
