Things I don't particularly like, but which other people think I should

[philmophlegm]

Feel free to treat this as a meme and post your own lists here or on your own journals, but also feel free to comment on mine.

These are all things that people sometimes think or assume I will like, but which I either actively dislike or am just not particularly fond of.



James Bond
Harry Potter
Alcohol
Skiing
U2
Computer games by Peter Molyneux
London
In fact, most big cities
Pasta
Mozilla Firefox
Most Hollywood blockbuster action films with big explosions in them

Tea
Television (and most films, really)
Video games
Fashion
Cars
Dating sites
Squidgy things sold in bakeries
Exercise just for the sake of it (as opposed to, for instance, cycling, which is fun)
Pretty much any kind of music that gets regularly played in shopping centres
Hot weather

Oh yes, I can relate to three of those (so I've edited my list).

You don't like pasta???????? I may have to never speak to you again ;-) (You can speak to malaheed instead, he won't touch alcohol either.)

Sorry. Bizarrely, I cook it more than I eat it since bunn practically lives off the stuff.

Association Football
Rugby League
The Lord of the Rings films as my prime Tolkien interest
Almost all modern TV sf & fantasy (it's not that I hate it, but I don't watch a lot of it)
Big cities
Having grown up in an isolated rural setting
The assumption that a long commute is really quite a good thing

skiing gets my vote! Just can't see the point of it. It's cold, there's the risk of injury and you spend a lot of the time looking a prat.

Not liking Rugby League is a bit of a problem since we moved North. I have tried to like it, but it's really just a game of British bulldogs with a ball.

I'm not totally against Big Cities, just ones that are mainly populated by rude people who shove past you (which isn't all of them!) York is nice.

Cheese
Bourbon

Watching TV as it's broadcast
