Here's a silly one ...

I agree and feel the same concerning a certain winner of Bake off.
Baking a cake for Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday, great. well done. Can I open a magazine minus her recipes.? Can I watch a TV struggles in life interview that shows other Bake off winners? I walk into my local supermarket book section dominated by none other than a picture of this winner advertising her book of recipes..
Give us a break.

Well they passed me by, can't say I'm sorry

I don’t live on Rannochmoor, but I’d certainly never heard of them until now. I must consult the GCs.

For me, it's unicorns. They have suddenly exploded onto everything. Goodness knows why. They have always been around, but never as prolific as recently

Annie - they appeared some years ago in a film which DGD asked to see, Despicable Me. Much related merchandise was sold. Not to us. Then they were central to a second film which I have not seen. They are still going strong and appear as yellow and blue birthday cakes.
In other words, you have missed nothing!
Some DMs (affectionately?) refer to DC as ' the Minions'.

No apologies. They make me smile!
(Make sure your sound is on! )

KatyK....it must be the age, my 68 year old husband is also obsessed with Minions. We went to the cinema for the first time in thirty years to see Despicable M3

Oh so that’s what they are called! I find them repulsive.

I am sick of Mary Berry on everything and I may be the only person who has never read or watched Harry Potter.

Brexit? I do not watch or read the news so I mostly get away without too much exposure.

We love Minions too (and trolls).

I agree about Mary Berry Floradora I'm sick of the site of her too.

They are on T shirts and other items of clothing all over the place. My little GS has a minions baseball cap.

I can't bear the hideous Minions! (Or Brexit)

Ha, ha. I just sent my niece a Facebook birthday message with a Minions birthday sticker. I blame the DGC, they love the movies.

I think DGS quite likes them, but they have passed me by. Cannot honestly say I notice them anywhere, let alone elsewhere, but I am a country bumpkin, and only go to town about once a week.

Thanks vampirequeen, can't recall seeing them

My 71 year old husband is obsessed with minions He has them on socks, t-shirts, shorts and even had a minion cake for his birthday.

Oh anniebach where have you been for the last few years ? Watch this and you'll understand what the rest of us have been suffering

I feel the same way about Mary Berry she is everwhere including from page of the Times colour bit to-day . Please retire Mary .

Sounds idyllic Baggs.

Tell him to relocate to Rannochmoor. No minions there but he'd be sure to see the Milky Way on clear nights.

The capital 'M' was a clue.

Sorry, never heard of them

So did l Nina until Annie got started ..

I assumed it was little blue and yellow cartoon characters.

Tsk ... well, I might have misunderstood him too ...

Imp, I don't think we are speaking of the same minions?
