Films - Anything with Steven Seagal or Vin Diesel. Seagal can't act, and Diesel takes himself far too seriously. Also some more recent British comedy films (The Potato Men, Grimsby) are absolute dross.
TV - Soaps generally, but Eastenders particularly. The people of the East end of London are famous for smiling through adversity, (the Blitz being a case in point) but everyone in that programme is so bloody miserable. Any of the recent realty TV/competitive programmes. Cheap, nasty TV, which beggars the question why we are paying a licence fee.
Music - Rap. Find a decent tune, written by someone with some talent, and talk, blaspheme, and hurl abuse over the top of it. Any ability to sing is probably considered a liability.
Food - I fully expect to be in a minority of one here. Curry. I love spicy food, but cannot stand even the smell of curry. It makes me gag. And, unlike practically the entire population of the planet, the more I've drunk, the more the smell makes me want to throw up.
Drink - Like someone said above, anything flavoured with aniseed.
Sport - Horse racing. A small (usually Irish) man, sits upon a magnificent animal, thrashes it with a whip to make it run faster, and when THE HORSE comes in first, the pundits all say "What a magnificent ride by (insert jockey's name here) to get his horse up for the win!"...
Place - Middlesborough. I once went to Ellesmere Port. I thought it was an absolute dump. I took to calling it "the armpit of England!". But there are 2 armpits on the human body. I always wondered where the other was. Then came Operation Riverside...
I was on the beach yesterday and got talking to a couple from Croydon. He was Palace and he didn’t stop going on about them. I’ve completely avoided him today and sitting at the other end of the beach. Stuck with a Chelsea fan today reminiscing about his hooligan past ... running out of places to sit at this rate. I certainly know how to pick ‘em
That bloody Palace fan has only come and found me and pitched up on the spot next to me. Asked me where I was yesterday. Said I was with ‘Fat Tel’ from Morden further down the beach. Asked me where I was last night. Said I was with the West Country crowd. He said ‘if I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were trying to avoid me’ .... er, yes mate

I know this kind of statement is designed to get a rise and I really shouldn't bite, but I can't let it go. This sort of lazy uninformed nonsense is baffling and sad in 2019. I honestly can't think of any reputable rappers who 'talk over a decent tune written by someone with talent'. If you want to keep believing that that's what represents rap then definitely don't listen to any Lupe Fiasco, especially not Jonylah Forever or The Instrumental. Steer clear of (literally off the top of my head) Macklemore, Plan B, Mac Miller, Blu, Common, Nas as it would be hard to fit them into your neat little stereotype. Also stay away from The Roots or Common Market as they generally don't sample and believe it or not actually have singers in their groups. If you want to feel good about yourself and prove that you're right be sure to check out Lil Uzi Vert and Lil Yatchy amongst others. Of course you can like whatever music you want and there are plenty of types of music I don't enjoy (or more accurately have never taken the time to try to get into), but at least know what you're talking about before you dismiss a whole genre with ridiculous sweeping statements based on (probably) received wisdom. I don't really enjoy heavy metal music for example, but I wouldn't attempt to sum up the music in one sentence as I know nothing about it and it clearly means a lot to some people. Again, I shouldn't have bitten but to choose rap of all the music to be offended by, in today's world of the X Factor, The Voice and the YouTube generation? Come on.

There to forget about pricks at work, not there to suffer more*
Getting serious for once. I was still buzzing from having a great day Wednesday and seeing the sublime performance from Charlton in 1st half despite the 1-1. While driving home and happy that the traffic was flowing nicely, we were on the edge of Chislehurst high street at about 10.20 and it was a scene from Hell. At least 5 cars were smashed, and police cars and emergency vehicles were there or arriving. It was carnage and looked like a bomb site.
It was surreal but straight away you guessed that two cars were racing which I have found out from the news and footage appears to be the case. The 25 year old driver of one of the sporty cars is fighting for his life but sheer madness to be racing down the high street. A bus coming from the other way appears to have caused one of the drivers to swerve and crash into the lampost and parked cars outside the Côte brasserie. The other car ripped up flower beds and crashed into bollards.
As this has now made the national papers and on line outlets, you may know that six cars were damaged including the Jaguar F-Type and Audi A5 who appear to be the racing cars( police are still investigating the footage) to establish the facts. Four other vehicles, a Nissan Qashqai, a Volkswagen, a Volvo XC90 and a Porsche Cayenne, were also wrecked when either the Jaguar or Audi cars smashed into them. Reports suggest that the Porsche was parked and was owned by a local doctor who had bought the car two days ago.
The only good news is no innocent bystanders were injured. I hope the driver recovers and spends the next 10 years traveling by bus or train.

Disagree with the last paragraph. Sounds like the fact that no innocent bystanders were hurt, was dumb luck, not design. I hope the driver recovers and spends the next 10 years in Belmarsh. What are the odds he didn't have insurance as well?

I agree with you if the footage I have seen initially is confirmed to be 100% just several seconds from the mayhem then the person must serve time whether in wheel chair or not. The other driver should as well if proven to be as liable.
Not sure at moment if it will come to this as the guy is still on the critical list.

Salad cream.
Apart from that things might be bad but I could cope. Beetroot and salad cream however start my retch reflex straight away.
