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.

I hate this too, for the sake of a couple of euro.
I did the penny pinching thing a few years ago when out for dinner with a friend and her husband. She and I were both driving so just had a jug of water at the table. He drank four pints washed down with whisky with his food.
When we were finished he suggested splitting the bill 3 ways...!!!! He was told where to go!!

Couldn't disagree more

Soccer - it's the best sport
Takeaway - Absolutely delicious (aside from Chinese)
BBQ - An under-rated gem

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

The "Boss" is the OG champagne socialist. Decent music back in the day, but hypocrisy 101 for the most part.

Johnny Cash is the true American hero for me.

And on that note of champagne socialist; Michael D. Not that I have any real opinion on him one way or the other, I just don't get the love.

His dogs are great though.

museums. see some artifact that was dug up that is six thousand years old.

queueing

accumulating stuff. being a collector of stamps, or soccer match programs, or a lego set that you think will be worth many euro in 10 years time.
harry potter, game of thrones,
chinese takeaways - make me feel sick afterwards. though been about 20 years since i had one so not sure if that has changed.

people that get fat and lazy (note irony of my username). but how hard is it to spend a couple of hours walking at night. weight will fall off. doing this walking would probably make them want to eat healthier.

Ah g'way would ya. For most people spending a couple of hours walking a night is luxury time they don't have. I know some will always find an excuse, but it's not as simple as you say and unfair to ridicule for it.

I absolutely hate Opera , not only do I not like it but it actually stresses me to watch any opera

Most new Irish houses, invariably look sh1t.

Tasteless bits that people slap on to their existing houses like a crap modified car job:
Fancy bargeboards in PVC.
Fake shutters, especially the comically tiny ones on large windows.
Concrete classical columns, sometimes installed upside down.
Lego set PVC front doors.
Fake stone cladding a la the Duckworths in Corrie.
Gardens crammed with cheap concrete statues.

I have a mate in the antique/garden statue trade that does sh1t concrete statues, cherubs, milk maids and alpine shepherd boys and they are his biggest seller. They ignore quality antiques and buy this worthless shyte.

Oreo's. Charred cardboard.

Might as well eat actual charcoal biscuits which have some health benefits.

They are tasty enough but the texture is weird...

My local pub do an Oreo cheesecake with caramel or sometimes chocolate sauce over it...like this one but with sauce over it and a scoop of ice cream, huge portions...fûckin delicious.

Depends on the trifle.
Tiramisu is, essentially, a trifle.

Yeah, your standard hotel trifle isn't great, really but you can make savage trifle at home.

You should give cilantro a try, you might like that.

This is one of those foods that you either like or dislike and it's down to your genes and your olfactory receptors. We've a plant in the house and regularly use it in dressings as we all think it's quite nice.

Our Lady of the Northside as one friend dubbed it (though also to be found on the southside).

"Friends", I'm the only one in my social circle who thought it was muck first time around and still thinks it's rubbish. My other half is like a child at Christmas looking forward to the "reunited" show.

James Cordon. I appreciate that he's a nice guy and doesn't really rely on being hard onnother people for his jokes, but I don't find him funny in any way, shape or form. He's well suited to bland American talk showd where everything is scripted to death and they can show absolutely nothing of their actual personality.

Gain and Stacy was boring. I didn't bother finishing it. I just think he's boring and not the slightest bit interesting -he might be interesting in his private life, but the constructed and scripted "personality" we see is as bland as they come.

I saw he is involved in the Friends reunion and I thought it made sense.

First time around for about two thirds of its run it really had its moments I thought, but I think the writers made a fatal mistake of taking what was an amusing/quirky/funny slapsticky comedy show and tried to add drama, pathos and storylines with a bit of a more dramatic oomph and serious twist... it became boring basically because of it.. John Sullivan was at the same craic with some of the latter Only Fools episodes...

It’s a comedy, a comedy has one job, to make people laugh..if writers and producers forget that and are. trying to be too clever, too dramatic, too relevant, too far from what enables people to love it in the first place it’s curtains...
