    Never appealed.

    Great opening comment. I have never seen Star Wars, nor do I ever want to. You can also add to that list Grease. Watched about a minute of an inbetweeners episode and thought it was toilet.

    Nothing like giving something a fair crack of the whip.

    Mind you, it's sixty seconds more than our Greenie gives stuff before making his mind up... ;-)

    (Never seen the Inbetweeners myself BTW).

    IMO Algarve you're not missing much. Admittedly that was based on my 60 secs viewing, but I know what I like re: comedy. Also as a show it gets too much hype. Anything that starts to build up a lot of hype and the majority of people start to like it, I tend to go the other way. Then more and more people like it, talk about it, and I get more wound up with it.

    Other recent examples of this were the 'collaboration' of artists on the bbc redoing the beach boys song 'god only knows'

    Basically I'm a grouch and get wound up by a lot of 'popular culture'

    I realise I shld be putting this on the 'general things that annoy me' thread but had a sudden urge of anger

    I had to watch about 6 of those on the coach on the way back from Bristol City away 2 years ago. It was okay. I enjoyed other coach regulars singing along to the theme tune more to be honest.

    They use to show some classics in the mid/late 90s. 'My dog skip' with Kevin Bacon. The whole of the Millwall night victory in the snow (great win), but someone put it on about 4 years later.

    At first I though, how can you watch something and have an opinion in 60secs, Inbetweeners is quality.

    Then I remembered Mrs Browns Boys, 20secs, that is all, have avoided it like ebola ever since.

    Different comedies for different needs. Also a variation on a line from another good comedy IMO - who can guess

    Never had a cup of tea or coffee


    Never rode a bike

    Never seen The Godfather

    Never ironed anything


    Never had curry

    Never voted (in my late 40s).

    I find these bizarre

    We you lot are a strange bunch,
