    Oysters and all raw fish, like in sushi with cold slimy rice.
    I love herring which is rarely in the shops. One day in Lidl I saw rolled up herring fillets in a jar, from Poland. Oh my God. They were raw and FOUL.
    However I love those little whitebait fillets in vinegar you get as appetisers.

    Sea snots . With you on this one.

    But the only two that seem to rile people up for no reason they have yet been able to explain are owning a Television......

    Is owning a television or multiple televisions not the standard? I've never not had at least two televisions in the house. Currently two televisions and a projector with 80" and great sound system in two rooms.

    Coffee.. Detest it.

    Other foodstuffs would be the aforementioned Avocado, Tomatos, Turnips, Broccolli, Pasta (although I can just about tolerate that in very small doses..), Pepper and any very spicy foods such as Indian.

    Cats.....definitely cats !!
    I think cats are really a love or hate thing though so that wouldn't be unusual IMO.

    DJs' that play or mix others songs and call themselves musicians.

    Social media is top of that long list. I use it sparingly. I think the natural order is that you don't see or hear from certain people for sizable chunks of time (or ever again) and then you catch up once in a while. Now, social media means you are continually updated on the mundanities of people's lives which are of absolutely no interest to you.

    Fairy cakes (I call them buns) - plain think lumps of stodgy with no flavour you are supposed to enjoy but they make me feel sick. Vanilla ice cream sickens me too.

    No I mean I do _not_ own one and have not for more than 15 years. And this seems to freak some people out for - reasons

    This so much. It's such a shame that live music is being replaced by DJ's in so many venues nowadays.
    You have people who spent years learning their craft, coming together to form a band and spending many hours working on their set replaced by some person who never wrote a song in their life and hasn’t a musical or creative bone in their body.

    White "wine" is an abomination on human culture.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Not had a TV for …. around 30 years.. I was offered one here but said no; I have youtube and that is plenty for me. Only used even a radio when I had no ESB here when I was new. Silence is golden..

    Tea.

    As I was born and raised in Lancashire where they exist on tea even more than here I was seen as a problem. They tried everything to get me to drink it.

    My last memory of tea was at the hospital we had raced to when my mother had been in a road accident. They told me she was dead and gave me a cup of nasty lukewarm stewed tea.

    Anything on TV apart from sport and current affairs. I just can't get into films, dramas or comedy and barely anything holds my attention. There are some very rare exceptions such are Frasier, but I couldn't bear to watch most of the stuff shown on TV.

    Any kind at all. Utter boredom as far as I'm concerned.

    Things with icing or fresh cream on them. Meh.

    Festivals in muddy fields.

    Most modern buildings. At least the atrocious ones that get somehow get permission to be built here.

    "Local" musicians or people who do songs on youtube/facebook or whatever and whose style is just "reference a nearby place or thing in your song/rap/skit so local people understand the reference and think they're in on the joke"

    Get sent them on whatsapp and the like every few weeks. Sh*te the equivalent of "I was talking to a girl, She was rank and dirty, But what would you expect, She's from Enniscorthy" sang in the local bogger dialect so all the local d*ckheads can laugh because they're not from Enniscorthy.

    That and Tiktok videos and the like where it's just people miming over something from a sitcom or movie, like they're the comedic genius who came up with something funny.

    Basically I just need to delete Whatsapp.

    The Beatles

    Good band, but overrated i.m.h.o, so many average songs and their albums have plenty of filler.

    There's a Beatles tournament running currently if you like The Beatles/filler.
