Cycling
Politics - to engage in conversation sensibly.

Social events.
Alcohol.
(Those two are probably connected.)
Strictly Come Dancing.

(Actually, that’s a lie. I don’t really want to like any of those things, but it would be socially convenient to like them.)

I’d be worried if I liked housework.

Sport on TV - there is so much of it! The News - too depressing. Chilli as a flavouring - as a vegetarian I get offered it a lot!

Spectator sport, pretty much most of it yeah tennis as well, and in particular golf which is my husband's great love, after me of course grin Maybe I wouldn't include say gymnastics and extreme sports such as surfing, which I imagine one would have to have a rare talent to be any good at, unlike golf which looks as if anyone could play it, my husband tells me otherwise.
People who say "lets go out to dinner" on the understanding it will be a 4, and then without consulting invite another couple who only they know. Ruins the dynamic round the table.
Selfies - They make those who indulge in the practice of continually taking them, appear so vain and preoccupied with their appearance.
