Let your next career move come to you.

things everyone likes that you don't like (and sometimes it causes social tension)

dancing

go-karting

escape rooms

The dissolution of the west, the rise of religious extremism, and the fact that humanity is basically doomed and my kids will probably have to live in an authoritarian, yet totally woke, dystopia.

Dude, it's Friday!

I can tolerate pubs, but I generally find them smelly and unclean with a poor selection of drink. I'd rather drink in a proper bar or at home.

I don't dance and I don't sing.

I can tolerate the dancing of others (I worked in a nightclub for 7 years) so long as they get out of my fooking face with the whole "come on and dance Supes, you know you want to".

Worse than fooking godbotherers those types.

Amateurs singing along to the radio, especially in a car does my fooking nut. 

Clergs: I have seen Kylie live. Possibly twice. Can't recall. Definitely once. Have also seen Danni Minogue live (Exeter Uni, late 90s). Went with Mrs Shooty to the Kylie gig.

The music is insipid and has not aged well.

Everything about Kylie pales into insignificance when matches against a true pop artiste, such as Taylor Swift. 

EVERYTHING.

Watching football in the pub with a group.  I don't like football anyway but much more comfortable to watch it at someone's house where we all have a seat and can see the screen.

I strongly meh Killing Eve

I hate the subplot with Sandra Oh and her husband, I hate how the Villanelle character doesn't really make sense, I hate how MI5 is confused with MI6 and the FBI for some reason

But I find bits quite funny

Watching rugby/cricket/tennis/golf etc

Doing running/half marathons and writing about it as if it's interesting or exciting

Clergham is absolutely on the money re: killing eve

Playing card games

Beaches and heat

Anything to do with reality television

 

 

" can tolerate pubs, but I generally find them smelly and unclean with a poor selection of drink"

Poor selection of drinks?  What do you usually drink you cant get in a pub?

 

Waggamammas and any similar noodles/stir fry sort of place.

Another shout for baked beans and Mrs Brown's boys here.

One of our fee earners like mrs Brown's Boys.

I regard his career potential as "limited" on that basis alone.

 

Nearly all pubs have cold beer

Most pubs sell reasonable wines these days - it is frankly mad to drink "decent" wine out anyway- why pay the mark up?

Gin martini - who do you think you are James Bond?

Bourbon - most pubs sell Jack Ds.

 

Yes, but if i has just said martini then there could be confusion with just straight vermouth. A 'vodka martini' is not a martini, but a martini could also be a Martini. ugetme

Jack Daniels isn't bourbon

Carling and Fosters are not proper beer

Pub wine is always shite

Jack Daniels is bourbon

All pubs do at least one better brand of beer on tap (usually several) than Carling and Fosters which I agree are shyte.  All pubs also have a large selection of chilled bottled beers.  Really very few fancy bars have as good a selection of beer as pubs.  

Unless you go to a dedicated wine bar (how 80s), all wine served by the glass is shyte.

From Wiki:

"The product meets the regulatory criteria for classification as a straight bourbon, though the company disavows this classification. It markets the liquor simply as "Tennessee whiskey"".

 

so you wont drink Jack Daniels because it does not call itself a bourbon, even though tastes exactly like a bourbon and is made the same way?  

Ok then...

JD is unpleasant no matter what you call it. Bourbon or not bourbon, if it was the only thing on offer it would only reinforce my point that pubs have shitty drink selections.

I don't know what bourbons/whiskeys pubs sell tbh - as I don't like the stuff - I am only aware that you always see JD behind the bar.

If you don't like pubs fair enough (well not fair enough, for a birtish man - extremely weird, but there we are) but it takes a special kind of twottery to maintain you don't like any drinks served in pubs-most pubs these days  generally having a vast selection of drinks (I exclude Sam Smiths pubs from this of course which I accept serve horrible drinks)

Do I win the thread?

 

On the basis that your dislike not only causes social tension in real life but also winds people up on this board I think you are the thread winner by a country mile!

Not liking city chain pubs is understandable but to not like for example an ancient village pub with a crackling fire after a country walk in the winter is the very definition of madness

My house smells better, has a better selection of booze and fewer drunk people propping up the furniture.

I could understand the attraction of the country pub if i lived in a shitty London flat.

But I don't.
