Popular Post lapal_fan Posted December 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2019 Most beers taste the same. I'd say there are probably 10-20 main archetypes, then 500 fillers which could easily fit into those 20 archetypes. Unless someone is trying to rock the boat and introducing secondary flavours like fruit.. then it's just rubbish. In my office, the following are unpopular opinions, which probably means they'll be normal on VT; - ghosts are bullshit - Michael McIntyre is not funny - Mrs brown's boys is not good Some that some on here probably won't agree with: - football fans are 99% horrible bastards who I don't want to associate with, Inc villa. Away days are worst. - bravado is a pointless trait in 21st century Britain or Western civilization. - twitter is pure poison and politsized to the point i never want to use it - life actually is pretty good - I think England is getting worse (countering previous point) - I get bored with everyday stuff. Its all been done hasn't it? I find mundane stuff funny now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) Some excellent opinions @lapal_fan Mine: Football is mostly a force for bad. It breeds tribalism and narrow mindedness, and most people who follow it don't make any effort to understand it. It backs people into corners, where they feel obliged to say stupid things because of something they decided when they were 5 years old. It celebrates sociopathic words removed and bullies, and provides a vehicle for murderous criminals to launder their gains. It manages to be petty and jobsworthy at the same time as being flash and amoral. It often brings out the worst in people. Football humour is the least funny of all forms of humour. Star Wars is shit. Coldplay and Muse are actually objectively shit, not just in a trendy hipster "you sold out" way, but in a factual FFS this is unlistenable crap way. All whisky drinking is alcoholism. Cars are okay, but definitely not worth investing more than a month's wages in. Breaking Bad isn't even in the top 5 TV series of all time. Most people's political opinions are just borrowed stuff they've learnt to say to impress people, and the complete opposite of what they think privately. Domestic violence, sexual harassment, etc. are often a two-way thing. (Edit: in response to @Seat68 - not intending to victim blame at all here, or claim that people normally bring this stuff on themselves. In hindsight, not the best thing to list in a tongue-in-cheek thread.) Most people are not very nice if you really put them in a difficult situation where nobody's watching. But enough people are genuinely nice that it is still worth assuming good faith from everyone. Edited December 26, 2019 by KentVillan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a brewery not too far from me that makes "Mexican Style" lager that is amazing. It's like Corona but actually good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Seat68 Posted December 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2019 There is an unpopular opinion and then there is saying things that are patently wrong and in some cases victim blaming. Sexual harassment and domestic violence are not often a two way thing. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(female against male) That's not two way Thing though. Two way is saying the victim is as much to blame as the perpetrator. I agree that sexual harassment and domestic violence are carried out by females, but that's not what was said. I merely disagree with the original statement.

villa4europe Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) Oasis are not shit they do also show you the dirge in music since them as they are still hugely relevant, the last decade in particular was dreadful, I’m 35 years old and oasis are easily the biggest and best English band of my lifetime and I’ll try and stay away from film music and tv but following last night - how the **** is gavin and Stacey popular?

Davkaus Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I'd never choose to listen to oasis, but with a couple of drinks in me they have more songs I'll bellow along to than any other band, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator bickster Posted December 26, 2019 Moderator Share Posted December 26, 2019 Pale Ale particularly the very Americanised shite with flavours like pink grapefruit and its sold in cans is an abomination. (I.P.A. is a different drink altogether and is mostly fine) There's a locally brewed one round these parts called Love Lane, utterly contemptible! Its yet another victory for style over substance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
