I have Bill Bryson to thank for this idea. Now, he feels
that there should be about a dozen things that we should be allowed to dislike
without having to justify or explain why we don’t like them-he calls them
Reflex Loathings. Here are mine:-
1. People who walk the streets,buildings-well anywhere with
those Bluetooth phone things in one of their ears all the time.
2. Extra bits at end of credits in movies & secret
tracks 15 minutes after the last one on cds
3. Mint flavoured chocolate
4. Gag Reels on DVDs of tv shows
5 People who have those little blocks of wood with supposedly
witty slogans on them, like “Don’t worry about the dog, beware of the kids” in
their homes
6 T-Shirts that cost more than £3
7 Google+
8 Giant TV screens (bigger than 20”)
9 People who say Stroke
City rather than just Derry or Londonderry
10 Button flys on trousers
11 Tribute Bands/Acts
12 Colour names that I don’t get e.g. taupe
13 anniversary boxed sets of albums with several extra cds
of out takes and different versions of the songs
14 That Trending Now thing on Yahoo
15 Green toilet paper
Too be added to…
And you dear reader?
