- Abba / Mamma Mia
I think it's safe to say I have never liked an Abba song. They are all resoundingly awful. I'd rather have my teeth pulled with a claw hammer than see Mamma Mia (either the film or the musical)
- Luis Vuitton
It's ugly brown with an ugly logo. I cannot fathom why anyone thinks these look good.
- Hello! / Ok! / Girls magazines in general.
It's tough to say if they are worse that lads magazines (Nuts, Loaded, What not) but these are universally appalling. What's even worse is smart intelligent women read these. Playboy has better stories. Comics have better morals. These magazines lack even that.
- Parking in disabled bays
What.is.wrong.with.you.people. (That would be able bodied people parking in disabled bays)
- Talking in movies.
It's not a living room.
- Not trying new things
Life's to short to always order the same pizza
- People who "don't really read"
Books are the most amazing thing ever. Read something. Anything.

Profound Sev, profound.
My comments are as follows:
1) ABBA - Pop brilliance. Just don’t tell anyone I said that. It’s a guilty pleasure (one I should probably be put to death for).
3) I’m with you on the celeb gossip mags. Do I really care who looks fat in a swimming costume?
4) Yes, but why the hell do there have to be so many disabled bays when I barely ever see them used.

I have to say that made me smile. Can you answer another philosophical question that’s been bugging me since Sunday? Why are the disabled parking spaces further away than the parents with child parking spaces? Is there something about having a child that makes you less able to walk than someone, in say, a wheelchair?
Re the Louis Vuitton thing… it’s a monkey see, monkey do thing. I realised the error of my ways and sold mine a few weeks ago.
We no longer go to the cinema because people talk through them. So I only get to go to the cinema with my other half when the new Bond is out, and only the late night showing.
Don’t get the magazine thing either. Or the not reading. A good book is a legal drug as far as I’m concerned, it’s excellent escapism.

I understand ABBA, I’m ashamed to say. I don’t, however, understand “Mamma Mia”.
Nope, no idea what’s going on with the LV thing either.
Hello, OK!, etc are beyond my understanding, however Now magazine can be readable at times.
Agreed, but I do love driving my Granny around so I can use her disabled notice to park wherever’s closest to the stairs/lift/whatever. It’s awesome parking in disabled spaces when you actually should be.
AAAARRRGGGH! Kill them, kill them all. Turning around and saying something like “will you SHUT THE FUCK UP?!” in a reasonably loud voice sometimes works though.
I do try new things, but I’m also fond of having the same thing from the Pizza/Indian/Chinese/whatever place when I know it’s really good.
I read, but at the moment I’m finding it really hard to stick with any book until it’s finished. I have no idea why, and I hate myself for it (ok maybe hate is a strong word, but you know what I mean…).

Ian re:4 - Sure some places have too many. But I don’t how they planned it, and even so, it’s just selfish if you are able bodied to park in them. Everyone who is not old/frail/disabled/injured should have a leg broken (or shot in the knee) for parking in them. No exceptions.
Emma - I think disabled people are allowed to park in the parent/children spaces
Matt re:6 - I have no problem with often ordering a favourite. I just don’t understand only ordering one item and never trying to try new things. Some of my best burgers (or what nots) came from pushing myself off my comfort zones.
5. Jack Pandemian
I understand all of those things; other people are of inferior construct.

I don’t get the Mamma Mia thing either. I had to be forced to watch Chicago and I just about wanted to stab my eyes and ears out. I tried watching Hairspray on a plane ride to the UK and it sucked. John Travolta cross-dressed or not.
I don’t do the whole designer crap. Sorry, I can’t justify spending a crap load of money on something that has LV, DB or whatever that other stuff is.
I’ll read trashy magazines. Though yours are pretty foreign to me … no pun intended.
People parking in the disabled who are able bodied = LAME. Though some folks have the right to park there and are considered disabled. Looks can be deceiving. I find it amusing you all have “family” parking spots there.
Trying new things … a must do.
Chit chatting in movies … annoying. Makes me wanna do a George … just say “Shut your traps and stop kicking the seats! We’re trying to watch the movie! And if I have to tell you again, we’re gonna take it outside and I’m gonna show you what it’s like! You understand me? Now, shut your mouths or I’ll shut’em for ya, and if you think I’m kidding, just try me. Try me. Because I would love it!”
Reading … my nose is stuck in a book that’s almost 700 pages. I don’t know if I”ve read that long of a book. It’s taking me ages to read it, but at least it’s interesting.
PS. Man I always give long comments on your site … ugh, sorry!

Hmm. Once you’ve tried all the pizza flavours and established that it doesn’t get any better than BBQ Chicken, then #6 becomes more understandable.

ABBA/Mama Mia - I never got that song. It’s crap.
Luis Vuitton - It’s rubbish - and brown. I.Don’t.Do.Brown.
Hello! / Ok! / Girls magazines in general - They’re fine, especially when on a train journey or something. The trouble is, I don’t recognise anybody anymore. It must be age.
Parking in disabled bays - Agree.
Talking in movies - I just tell them to shut up. But I agree.
Not trying new things - errrrr …. lack of money. I’ll try new shampoo or soap though. Mind you, I know a really good pizza place here and once you’ve tried it, you’ll go for the house special every time.
People who “don’t really read” - I’m trying to finish a book, honest. I HAVE to - I promised one of my crap book reviews.
