RANDOM THINGS YOU HATE

[KNT]

That's not a thing I hate, but I am quite BEMUSED by it all looking back.

When I was a kid, there was a girl around the corner called Tammy. Her mum used to fill the wheelie bin with a hose and let us take turns using it as a 'swimming pool'.

That's what we did but called it a 'bath'

 

[lolly]

Plus of course it wasn't a wheelie bin but one of those galvanised steel ones

I grew up in a house with a coal fire (plus bunker) and no central heating. And was a Jehovah’s Witness

Yes it’s time for the TERRIBLE START IN LIFE COMPETITION

We didn't get a video until I was well into secondary school. And even then it wasn't VHS or Betamax, but Video 2000

And like the TV, it was RENTED

Oh God RENTED TVs

I think I had one until I was about 23 because nobody told me you could BUY them

 

[lolly]

I've just been checking old photos. I exaggerated, we didn't have baths in the bin (my mother would kill me if she thought I was putting that story out there) but it was a steel bath in the garden. Well, 'garden' is probably pushing it.

I'm the one who looks like Harry Secombe. See, I had a thing for stylish knitwear from a very tender age.

Evening STIRRER. Me and Rita are just fine thanks, sorry to disappoint

Actually I was expressing amusement rather than stirring

We had a V2000 too, but it was something my brother obtained from some car boot sale in the 90s and used it exclusively to record back ups of Eurovision.

My Dad was usually the first to get a lot of things, but he’d never allow an upgrade unless it stopped working. So we had our early 80s VHS player which you had to manually programme for a maximum 7 days, and we had that the whole time. Same with TVs, so Teletext/Ceefax or VideoPlus codes were just not a thing for us until the ONE year we got cable in 1994-95. I became obsessed with Teletext whenever going to a friend’s house.

Videos of things turing out to be cakes. I don’t know why there are so many of them and why anyone would want to eat a cake looking like an ashtray.

I liked it on Japanese tv naturally, but the Netflix US show trailer was just pure overreaction HELL

 

[RS]

There is a Netflix show about it?! Says it all!

Basic gays reviewing albums too masterful for them to understand.

 

[Ellie]

People on Twitter who constantly tag celebrities on a very regular basis and talk to them as if they’re friends.

Shit, just calling out @funky just like that

Wow, the level of pot stirring going on right now

Wise words from Christina on the Bionic promo trail.

People on Twitter who tag celebrities in the mean shit people have said about them are also terrible.

I don't know what they think they're doing other than ruining Rita Ora's day.

 

[Madison]

I love ruining Rita Ora’s day.

Oh I don’t do drugs sorry, not that kind of girl

This exactly. We don’t all have hours and hours to spend using a TIN OPENER!

This exactly. We don’t all have hours and hours to spend using a TIN OPENER!

Also it brings the risk of some very nasty cuts

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

There’s a tin of tuna in my flat that’s been there since about September that I’ve still not managed to get into

I’d like to nominate Björk’s insistence on syllable splitting

NOBODY THINKS IT’S CLEVER LUV! Hardly anyone in the world wants to LISTEN TO IT!

I don't know what this means, but I don't think I want to either.

That key on the corned beef! What's that all about?

 

[Alias #23]

I wouldn’t know

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

I wouldn’t know

We're not all posh

 

[Alias #23]

We're not all posh

I never actually make it but I do have fond memories of corned beef hash, with the handy key helping mum to neatly roll the metal back and prevent harm to tiny hands

But how else will we know that she CAAAAAA EEEEEEERS for us?

EDIT: Zen Giraffe found baffled at The Gate

 

[lolly]

I never use the key on corned beef tins - I DO make corned beef hash quite regularly in winter. I use a regular tin opener to take off the top and the bottom of the tin, and pop the delicious congealified eyeballs and arseholes out.

How can he not know what I’m referring to? HAVE A WORD PLEASE

What’s that other word she always mutilates apart from CAAAAAAA RRREEEEEEE?

He refuses to listen to her! I have to do it on HEADPHONES these days And I'm not sure what the other word might be, the lyrics on the last few hardly stick with me like the oldies but goodies

But what about your famous interpretive dance routines to the hits from Drawing Restraint 9 performed nude at the window? Do passers by have to be delighted by the visuals with no sound? Admittedly this might be a blessing

 

[Alias #23]

I know someone who refuses to let his partner listen to OR EVEN SPEAK OF Mariah

CAN YOU IMAGINE
