Irrational dislikes of people you don’t know..

I'm not sure people have an irrational dislike of Miriam - its how she presents & what she says.
Not like those people who you just can't put your finger on what it is that bugs you.

I couldn’t stand MM in the Marigold Hotel series but warmed to her in her programmes about Australia. I also enjoyed her autobiography although parts of it were obviously written to shock.

She’s one of a kind…Thank goodness. 😂

I love Joanna Page and Robbie Williams.

Miriam?

Ooh, you are awful - but I like you!!

Ah, I was waiting for Mariam to appear.

I'm not sure about her.

At first I thought 'Oh she's a game old bird' but as time has plodded-on,
I've developed an aversion to her.
I can only put it down to her
beady-eye roll, her hippy-waddle &
her panting breathy way of talking in a rather leary, creepy way!
Apart from that she just about bearable in tiny fairy doses!!!
Sometimes, occasionally, not often really to be honest!!! 🥴

Oooh I like Des the weatherman - we only get to see him when the TV has a wobble as we're not Central. Would swap ours for him.

Robbie Williams - I don't like his singing voice or his face
Miriam Margoloyes - vulgar
The weatherman on ITV Central, Des somebody - too animated

This evening I have felt moved to start a new thread about Joanna Page on a wildlife programme. She drove me bonkers!

I must be one of the few people who have never seen Gavin and Stacey!

Crossstichfan wow! I am so envious 🩵

I don’t blame you! I fell madly in love, even though I had a gorgeous husband at home! The TV never showed how handsome he was in the flesh. He didn’t photograph well but oozed sex appeal and seemed such a genuinely nice guy.

Ah, I was waiting for Mariam to appear.

I'm not sure about her.

Miriam Margolyes.

Stacey Solomon's voice seems to change, and that's what's pees me off,
All breathy and Essex and dizzy sometimes, and very different at others.

I do think that voices matter. I understand that Stacey Solomon is at very pleasant person, but I cannot watch her because of her voice.
I felt the same about Nicholas Parsons: irrational, I know.
On the other hand,I like to listen to Lyse Doucet, for many reasons , and have no trouble with her accent

Ohh, someone mentioned James Martin the chef I ruddy well cannot stand the pompous, puffed-up twit.
I turn over whenever I see his smug, smug, smug flabby fizog. 🤗

Alex Jones, from the One Show, her voice really grates with me despite being Welsh myself, Emmon Holmes, Gino Decampo and Jamie Oliver.
I also "go off" people when they seem to be on every program and advert, you just get sick of seeing the same face every time I switch on the TV.

I'm not so keen on our new next door neighbour who has played the lead in some musicals.

He keeps practicing just when we are sitting down to do the crossword.

😁

I have many and various irrational dislikes, the main ones being Helen Skelton, Carol Vorderman, James Martin (so smug!) Robbie Savage, Alison Hammond - the list is endless.

DH, on the other hand, has only one; a long-standing loathing of Bruce Forsyth who he says was the rudest, most unpleasant person he ever worked with (DH was a BBC lighting director).

Well I suppose it saves on buying tickets Kitty...

Lyse Doucet who strangles every innocent vowel she encounters
Lyse Doucet's accent is unusual but absolutely authentic. She is Candian and from an area called Acadia.
She is a first-class journalist.

Crossstichfan wow! I am so envious 🩵

I don't hate but get "unsettled" by people because of their looks, mannerisms and speech
"Step back" people, they makes me recoil
David Bowie looks feral, Jack Nicholson looks not only terrifying but insane.
James Nesbit who played Pontius Pilate with his irremovable "Norn Irn" accent
Lyse Doucet who strangles every innocent vowel she encounters
Lesley Garrett who unleashes her bosom and charges up behind it and is a "singer"???
Woodentops-unmoving Suranne Jones, Christopher Eccleston
But Gordon Ramsay is amazing in his series on US restaurants and swears very little.

In 1993, I once spent 45 minutes totally alone on a coach in Dover with David Bowie (don’t ask!) and he was one of the nicest men I have ever met. He was really chatty and friendly and was extremely interested in how the Channel Tunnel, (opening the following year) would affect Kent, especially the ports. He was an absolute pleasure to be with.
By the way, contrary to reports, he hadn’t exactly got eyes of different colours. It was just that one pupil was bigger than the other and gave that impression.
He was lovely!

Merlotgran, Sorry, no I know it wasn’t yours and I have no idea why my post made it look as though you had written it. Sorry for any embarrassment caused!

No probs!

These repeated messages can often be confusing to read.

I’ve always had an irrational dislike of Greg Wallace. I now know why!

I hated Greg Wallace long ago. I always said I would never want to be in a room alone with him and that was long before his latest antics. How the heck did he manage to get FOUR women to marry him? I bet they all have guide dogs! Seriously, he seems a really smarmy git and makes my flesh creep. 🤮

What a snivelling litte creep of a man

Blimey! 😮

I can take or leave Titchmarsh but I do think your comment is a little cruel! I have never noticed him snivelling or creeping! Will look out for those traits in future.

I hope you don’t think that comment was mine, crosstitchfan
