That's OK Tina each to their own smile I find it most amusing. Must be something to do with my Irish family.

I don’t get “men”!!!

I don’t get Mrs Brown’s Boys either,or: squid, calamari or any seafood, many alternative comics ( the alternative being that they are unfunny) tattoos, gigantic cups of coffee to go
(I would be going all day if I drank that much) the attraction of being glued to a mobile phone, tiny dogs that fit in handbags ( may as well have a guinea pig) the obsession with dieting, women who drag their hair back into tight ponytails, eyebrows that look like super slugs, and many many more.grin

Lentils are so useful!

I don't get those spice kits that you subscribe to every month. They come with a recipe and instructions so what's wrong with a recipe book that will last you forever and some jars of spices from the supermarket?

Most modern comedians - Michael McIntyre etc (but I love Mrs Brown)
People who dress dogs and treat them like babies

Yes I have noticed that many cars do not seem to have indicators any more.
I do not get

Mrs Brown's Boys
Calamari
Boy racers in noisy cars
Fat free food full of sugar
Tripe

I get lentils and avocados. Not the others. And I don't get leggings with short tops. terrible fashion.

Oh tinafl. I have similar things...those big granite topped kitchen Islands that are neither use nor ornament. What's wrong with a table?
Vegan ready meals full of all sorts of additives and cheap fillers (am not against being vegan - just the bandwagon style convenience food)
People who do not indicate ...especially at roundabouts so that you sit there unnecessarily.
Dumbed down tv....all those Spring/summer watch things - silly grinning and jokes pretending to be Natural History.
Johnny Morris's children's programmes had more integrity!
.....and yes, I'm old and grumpy!

I totally get lentils and avocados but agree with you about the rest.

tinaf1 Sat 26-Jan-19 18:28:12

Just that really there are some things I just don’ get

Reality TV
Ant & Dec
Lentils
People who have off road vehicles but live in a town
Avocados
maybe it’s just me getting old and grumpy ?
