    yep always nervous when invited to barbecues, always make sure i purchase a multi pack of toilet roll beforehand with one left in the fridge;)

    I'm not a massive meat eater anyway which doesn't help.
    I'll eat all the corn on the cob though, which has its own "after effects". :D

    It's not a barbecue unless the meat is charred! I adore that taste.

    Any boring "gripping" British drama that you just have to watch. Line of duty, Doctor Foster, bodyguard. Stale acting with such a tight grip on me I'm falling asleep. I mean really, the premise of these shows is all just some variation on the theme of Duty against all odds, boring af.

    I abhor cop shows, always have, with the exception of The Wire because it's the only one doesn't portray a completely unrealistic vision of the police as these morally pure, clever, brave heroes.

    Restaurants and takeaways.

    Would rather have a homecooked meal any day. Full control of ingredients, portion size, temperature, seasoning, and service.

    Eating out can be be so hit or miss. Would rather eat at home and catch up with someone for coffee instead.

    I'm not the biggest fan of eating out either I just find the whole thing very formal and uncomfortable.

    Coriander...absolutely disgusting. May as well stir some blood into a salad

    *Curried Chips*

    what is it with the irish obsession about curried chips??? is it an irish creation? never seen it any other country not even next door in the UK, i bet even in asia they don't have it...its disgusting it looks disgusting when i'm in a takeaway and someone ahead of me is getting it and i see the server pouring it on i feel queasy in the stomach nearly makes want to turn on my heel and leave:(

    Yuk!!
    Don't ever go to the Netherlands then. Chips there come with the choice of a bewildering array of sauces, including curry, but one of the weirdest ones is patat oorlog (war chips) which comes with mayonnaise, peanut sauce and chopped onions. Quite nice really :)

    The first few chips are great. But the chips below become a soggy, sloppy mess. Completey ruins the majority of the chips.

    Get some chips and a tub of curry sauce. Dip away to your hearts content. Get that great chip and curry sauce flavour without ruining 90% of your chips.

    Get an extra bag of chips and add them to the mix ... sorted

    I disagree but as homecooking is so much healthier id love to be able to agree.

    Salted caramel. The spawn of Satan and its everywhere, in biscuits, in bars, in chocolates and I wish it would just f*ck right off.

    People calling themselves their dog or cat's parent. Like "I'm a dog mom" or similar. Not unless you're an actual bitch in the canine sense you didn't physically give birth to your dog. They're your pet, you're their owner.

    Soccer, its a children's game FFS.

    Yeh soccer, great to play but horrific to watch. Was into it when younger but like WWF wrestling grew out of it.

    People who are into it generally talk more about the soap opera that accompanies with it than the game itself. Don't get me started on the fans that say we when they refer top the English team they support.

    Bruce Springsteen.

    Couldn't agree more. Who wants to listen to a poor singer, who's a millionaire, singing about how crap life is being poor.

    Especially when tipping and splitting bills are involved.

    Splitting bills based on what you ate is horrible.

    Maybe with people drinking and other people not there is an argument for it. You do get the occasional lad who will order 3 main courses, various sides and 3 nans for himself at an Indian.

    Still for me it is undignified to start counting up based who ate what etc. during a social outing.
