    Things you don't get.

    Horse racing or even just horses, can't begin to understand the fascination with them.

    Monarchists, some people seem to love the Windsors more than life itself, wtf is all that about?

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    My 8 year old barely watches TV anymore, instead he's got his favourite blogs on YouTube, mainly Minecraft tutorial videos but also a couple of other gamer channels. I kind of get the attraction of watching something and then trying to replicate it. I'd rather he was watching something that then stimulates his fantasy in an interactive sense instead of sitting him in the comatose world of Peppa Pig an the likes.

    How anyone can get enjoyment watching a bunch of spoilt brats day-by-day lives is beyond me.

    Expensive things that don't last. Washing machines, computers, fridges, TV, dishwashers. People know how to make components that last, so why do we tolerate having to replace this assembly line rubbish and get a new one shipped from Guangdong every three years?

    Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club. It’s alright, but not as good asThe White Album, Revolver or Rubber Soul. So no idea how polls always seem to vote it the greatest album of all time.

    I did not know that. Thanks for the info.

    I'll tell Mrs R. It might stop her watching it :

    Game of Thrones. Watched a series and a bit then admitted defeat, just don't understand the hype at all.

    Cocaine. Crap drug that's expensive, people taking it don't look like some 'classy' socialite, most just mark themselves as chavs with more money than sense.

    I like fantasy as a genre, so I was expecting to love it. I read the book first and was told the TV series was amazing, and like you say I never really 'got' it. Tried it twice in fact.

    Big bushy beards. I don't care how fashionable they are, most guys with them just look daft.

    ...the whole 'time passing faster as you get older' thing. It's shocking. At this moment Liz Kershaw is playing a Manics song from the This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours album which she says is TWENTY years old today.

    Which obviously makes no sense. I'm hurtling towards old age at breakneck speed and it's no fair.

    My mum used to say "Life is like a toilet roll. The nearer you get to the end, the faster it goes".

    I don't suppose for one second that she made the quote up, but for me at my age, it's truth is indisputable.

    At least your mum told you. I had no idea the whole space time continuium was going to be like this. When I was ten à six week summer holiday felt like a lifetime compared to a year of being forty something. It's a shock.

    Cars.

    A mode of transport to get me from A to B. I can't be bothered with the inevitable questions when you buy a new one. How many miles to the gallon? How does it drive? What's the engine? Shall we take it a spin?

    Do these people do the same with other big purchases? How does that fridge cool? How many BTUs does that oven have? Shall we put that washing machine through a rinse cycle, see how she flows?

    Some people get a lot of enjoyment from driving. Some cars are designed only to get people from A to B, whilst others are designed for enjoyment and performance. Things like washing machines are designed only to wash clothes.

    United we stand here....

    I understand that but I don't get it. 'Going for a drive' as a leisure activity is totally alien to me.
