Things I don't like (TIDL) thread

Also - Festivals, plural. We apparently used to have WOMAD here.
Don't forget the 1688 Revolution, Kate Winslet, Ricky Gervais, nuclear weaponry, and The Ballad Of Reading Gaol... ;)

Don't know if that's good or bad! I worked at WOMAD for a few years. You occasionally get to see some acts you wouldn't normally see but I'd never pay to go there. Though my highlight was sharing a magical cigarette with Craig Charles. Swings and roundabouts.

Aw come on, something so infrequent it's barely worth mentioning? I don't think I'm the one getting carried away...! :p


Technically I live near it, rather than in it... and it's better than living in Camden, where I moved from.

How frequently something occurs has no bearing on whether someone can like it or not.

The moving from Camden thing explains a lot about you ;)

I walk around with them in all the time when I'm out and about. Stops the beggers/homeless people and chuggers approaching me on the street. Which I find extremely annoying.

And don't want to hear other peoples noise such as their conversations or kids.

If anyone wants a proper conversation with me they will tap me on the shoulder.

Debatable. You can't necessarily pass judgement without a number of experiences to give you sufficient averages... and as you said, you actually enjoy it since you get to argue with them... Not exactly compelling evidence as a dislike!!


Oh?
I'd be quite curious as to what insight you might have regarding this... especially since I also moved to Camden from somewhere else, rather than being born there...

You’ve just given me a new one I can add seen as enjoying a part of something, again doesn’t mean you can’t dislike it on the whole and that I haven’t at all alluded to you being born in Camden...

People who have difficulty with comprehension.
 
Slow bikes with stupid loud exhausts - Just had the local chav on the street next to our office go zooming by again on his L plate bike with ridiculously loud exhaust, reminded me of this thread.

I swear this guy is doing drugs, he's out every 15 minutes and back within 5, riding around in his little hoodie.

So tempting to put some wire from one lamppost to the next and ping that ****** off.

I never said it did... Just that, for something you dislike, you seem to engage with it rather more readily than I would have thought sensible... especially when you could just close the door and get on with something even more enjoyable, either on the whole or entirely.

No, you’ve assumed I always engage with it and as mentioned it happens once or twice a year, so the few minutes of my time isn’t an issue, considering you and I have both spent more than that debating an opinion that you seem to want to be the judge on.

There are plenty of posts in this thread where people could quite easily avoid or mitigate some of these things they don’t like, so no idea why you’ve taken issue with mine. I’d imagine it’s because of past history on here.

I suppose that is a good idea but I just hate walking with headphones in, I like to be aware of my surroundings the whole time.
