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.

"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.

El_Duderino 09 · 22-05-2021 3:49pm

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...

Weird thread.

The term in the title is things I don’t like that “everybody else does.” Not things I dislike that everybody dislikes.

I can’t see that James Cordon, Brussels Sprouts, or mother in laws fit that category.

I don't get the mega love for friends either.
Sure I watched it back in the day and it was alright. Was what it was but I just don't see the big cult, huge following it has gotten since it went off the air in 2004.

All those interminal box set series that everyone is into now. None of them are a patch on a decent movie like The Godfather (for example).

Turning your garden into another living room. I was visiting various DIY/ homeware shops looking for a small bistro table for my garden so I could sit outside with a cup of coffee and couldn't buy anything that wasn't part of a "set". Most "sets" were full-on dining size tables with 4-6 chairs and corner sofas complete with awnings and rugs (!). Mirrors too, if you want them! Seems to be a real trend now!
I've a modest garden and feck all space to put these things away when not in use to stop them getting mouldy, the smaller the better for me. Probably a trend stemming from the pandemic and the emphasis on outdoor entertaining.
Queued up for half an hour at Jysk, got sorted

. They have the larger sets too, but also stuff for people like me!

Friends, the TV show. Pure dung. Grand if you were 12 or 13 when it came out first and you enjoyed it at that time but I know many adults that consistently watch re-runs of it. Really dont understand it.

Watching people get cross at young people seeing Friends for the first time and not thinking it was very funny, was amusing. Getting cross at young people for not liking 30 year old jokes.

Could gay jokes be any less funny in 2021?

The Princess Bride · 24-05-2021 1:45pm

Most trad music, or diddley iddley music as I call it.
Also rebel songs, just pure cringe.

I'm watching the boxset on Netflix and enjoying it. However, there is a notable dip in quality after the London episodes where any sort of long term character arcs are dropped in favour of zany antics and storylines. Phoebe in particular is just irritating and shallow, no more perfectly encapsulated in an episode where she tries to use her mother's suicide to score a free muffin.

I like the show but the idea of spending nearly thirty quid to head to Manchester to take snaps of myself in mockups of the sets or sitting through hours of James Corden reminiscing about it... Nah.

In fairness to friends lots of young people enjoy it and can relate to the very well written jokes. It did dip in quality towards the end but that tends to be the norn for comedies that go on for a long time.

It’s aged terribly actually... when you watch it back the acting is dreadful in it...none of the actors post friends made any sort of success of their acting careers... lots of straight to dvd type stuff ...

Im currently rewatching the whole series and still think its the best comedy ever. I think its aged quite well.

I liked it when it first came out but god its seems cringy now. Jennifer Aniston has had some success in fairness, a lot more than the rest of the cast anyway.

Grapefruits, I once described them in a previous post as being big yellow balls of battery acid

Given that there's no escaping it for the next few weeks. "Fairytale Of New York", depressing dirge.

Police thrillers I have no interest in watching another program. about women being killed or serial killers no matter how good the script is or how good the acting is

I don't watch baking tv shows strictly come dancing soccer or rugby gaa Matchs

All award shows are boring I don't give a feck who wins an Oscar, Grammy emmy

Real life true crime can be good as its based on real people eg the hunt for the golden state killer documentary as real people are more interesting than criminals in TV shows I like coffee and tea I don't like coffee with various flavours or cold coffee. I buy basic trainers I don't see the point of paying 100 euro for a brand name sneaker I see no point in spending 1000 euro on a phone unless you are a designer or techie that needs to take photos or videos in 4k I think F1 racing is incredibly boring I don't care about 4k TV Id be happy to watch every program in 1080p HD I listened to a podcast an expert said most people can't tell the difference in 4k or 1080 p unless you sit close to the TV

Most tv shows are not realistic eg sometimes it takes years to find a killer or get the evidence to go to court

The whole Santa Claus thing pisses me off. It's downright lying to your kids so that you get to spend absolute shitloads on plastic crap. The government love it for the revenue it creates and it's a windfall for corporations as well.

The whole thing is immune to all world issues too. Exempt from covid and climate change all to see a smile on little mason's or saioirses face.
