Here's a silly one ...

My niece is obsessed with Harry Potter (she is in her late 20s!). Every day she posts several things on Facebook which are Harry Potter related - drives me mad when they keep coming up on my newsfeed!

How does he spot a minion?

Just out and about Annie - he doesn't watch TV much. Maybe a few pop up online. Commercialism gone mad maybe?

Imp, I don't think we are speaking of the same minions?

Tsk ... well, I might have misunderstood him too ...

I assumed it was little blue and yellow cartoon characters.

So did l Nina until Annie got started ..

Sorry, never heard of them

The capital 'M' was a clue.

Tell him to relocate to Rannochmoor. No minions there but he'd be sure to see the Milky Way on clear nights.

Sounds idyllic Baggs.

I feel the same way about Mary Berry she is everwhere including from page of the Times colour bit to-day . Please retire Mary .

Oh anniebach where have you been for the last few years ? Watch this and you'll understand what the rest of us have been suffering

My 71 year old husband is obsessed with minions He has them on socks, t-shirts, shorts and even had a minion cake for his birthday.

Thanks vampirequeen, can't recall seeing them

I think DGS quite likes them, but they have passed me by. Cannot honestly say I notice them anywhere, let alone elsewhere, but I am a country bumpkin, and only go to town about once a week.

Ha, ha. I just sent my niece a Facebook birthday message with a Minions birthday sticker. I blame the DGC, they love the movies.

I can't bear the hideous Minions! (Or Brexit)

They are on T shirts and other items of clothing all over the place. My little GS has a minions baseball cap.

We love Minions too (and trolls).

I agree about Mary Berry Floradora I'm sick of the site of her too.

Oh so that’s what they are called! I find them repulsive.

I am sick of Mary Berry on everything and I may be the only person who has never read or watched Harry Potter.

Brexit? I do not watch or read the news so I mostly get away without too much exposure.

KatyK....it must be the age, my 68 year old husband is also obsessed with Minions. We went to the cinema for the first time in thirty years to see Despicable M3

No apologies. They make me smile!
(Make sure your sound is on! )

Annie - they appeared some years ago in a film which DGD asked to see, Despicable Me. Much related merchandise was sold. Not to us. Then they were central to a second film which I have not seen. They are still going strong and appear as yellow and blue birthday cakes.
In other words, you have missed nothing!
Some DMs (affectionately?) refer to DC as ' the Minions'.
