Do you get it (lighthearted)

I totally get lentils and avocados but agree with you about the rest.

Oh tinafl. I have similar things...those big granite topped kitchen Islands that are neither use nor ornament. What's wrong with a table?
Vegan ready meals full of all sorts of additives and cheap fillers (am not against being vegan - just the bandwagon style convenience food)
People who do not indicate ...especially at roundabouts so that you sit there unnecessarily.
Dumbed down tv....all those Spring/summer watch things - silly grinning and jokes pretending to be Natural History.
Johnny Morris's children's programmes had more integrity!
.....and yes, I'm old and grumpy!

I get lentils and avocados. Not the others. And I don't get leggings with short tops. terrible fashion.

Yes I have noticed that many cars do not seem to have indicators any more.
I do not get

Mrs Brown's Boys
Calamari
Boy racers in noisy cars
Fat free food full of sugar
Tripe

Most modern comedians - Michael McIntyre etc (but I love Mrs Brown)
People who dress dogs and treat them like babies

I don't get those spice kits that you subscribe to every month. They come with a recipe and instructions so what's wrong with a recipe book that will last you forever and some jars of spices from the supermarket?

Lentils are so useful!

I don’t get Mrs Brown’s Boys either,or: squid, calamari or any seafood, many alternative comics ( the alternative being that they are unfunny) tattoos, gigantic cups of coffee to go
(I would be going all day if I drank that much) the attraction of being glued to a mobile phone, tiny dogs that fit in handbags ( may as well have a guinea pig) the obsession with dieting, women who drag their hair back into tight ponytails, eyebrows that look like super slugs, and many many more.

I don’t get “men”!!!

Thought I might get some stick over lentils ? agree with Hilda re indicating at roundabouts but wouldn’t mind a granite island, also agree about Mrs Brown sorry Katy don’t get the tops with holes wear your shoulders go

I don’t get men ,?

Where your shoulders should go

That's OK Tina each to their own I find it most amusing. Must be something to do with my Irish family.

Oh yes, the cold shoulder tops.....not the best look unless you have toned arms.

Ant and Dec and their salaries.

Getting a dog and paying for doggy day care.

Nail Bars.

Memes

Mrs. Brown's Boys
hen/stag weeks
open plan kitchens/living rooms (cooking smells)
ripped jeans
bare legs in winter
battleship grey paint everywhere

We'll never get men (nor will they get us)
Yes nail bars!
And gluten free bread with about 30 ingredients. no thank you.
I do get Mrs Browns Boys but then I live in Northern Ireland.

I don't get the current fashion for ridiculously big eyebrows that's some young women are sporting now. They make Dennis Healey look well groomed.

Getting a dog and paying for doggy day care. Agree!
I get avocados and lentils.
I don't get piercings or tattoos and hope my DGC won't damage their perfect bodies. It's akin to self harm.
High heeled shoes.
Most teenage fashion but I get that they have to do something their parents wouldn't
In the 1960s we had white faces and black eyes.

It's the big lips that get me. They're like rolls of lino-----not at all attractive.

In the 1960s we had white faces and black eyes.

Now it's pink hair and I totally get DGD's new look.

I don't get fat lips or big eyebrows either.

merlot - love your granddaughters hair.

I don't understand half of the things you mention! Love lentils and avocados. Watched Mrs Brown on DVD once, wouldn't waste my time again but I did laugh at some of it.

Also watched a DVD of some Idol thing with a man called Cowell who pretended to be astonished when a unprepossessing lady singer had a sensational voice. Do they really think we don't know there must have been local and regional heats and that all the judges knew exactly what was coming up?

I certainly don't get voluntary starvation, knowing the harm it can do. Or the gullibility of people who truly believe being thinner (and that alone) is healthier.
Or people who live their lives by numbers because a diet company, to whom they've paid BIG money, says so....and being scared of food, thinking it's 'unhealthy' (unless you have a genuine medical condition: diabetes, coeliac) is totally beyond me.

And the slavish worship of 'science' (I'm currently enjoying a free course on Humanism) as a replacement for God when we all know science has a long history of being wrong.

I'll get off me high horse now........
