This will sound like blasphemy to many Brits.but I just cant get partisan about professional league soccer.
My local club has a Russian owning it and is managed by two blokes from another city.
The star players come from another continent and none of the rest have any connection with the local clubs area.
The club actually trains in the city limits of the club that is supposed to be their arch enemies.
I think that of the team only two live within their clubs city and none of the senior club faces ,managers etc.live within the clubs city or even its environs.
All of the players and management would move to another club if offered more money or a better position at the drop of a hat(and in the past have done so)
Every W/E our mercenaries go out and play the mercenaries of other clubs(because they’re all the same in outlook) yet our supporters are elated if “We” win and in the depths of despair if “We” lose.
I’m sorry but I just cant get excited about it.
In addition to non-furry pets, I don’t appreciate the appeal of hamsters and the like. They have to live in a cage and you can’t really give them free run of the house, or else they’ll leave pellets all over the house and chew your electrical cords.
Or the cat will get them.
I meant to add this one yesterday- beauty pageants. Yes, I am male and yes I am heterosexual. What I don’t like about beauty pageants is that the women they’re intended for do not appeal to me. I like big, chubby women, women with some substance, and unfortunately Miss America, Miss Universe, etc. seem to discriminate against woman who are more rotund.
Also add most award shows. So what if such-and-such film earned “Best Director” or “Best Supporting Actor?” All that matters is whether or not I liked the movie.
I dunno, model trains maybe?
There’s very few things I’m not interested in, at least mildly…
As for Facebook and Myspace, I used to think there was no point to them. After using Facebook for a while and having friends that use it as well, it’s grown on me. It’s a good tool to know what your friends are up to or to help organize get-togethers. For example, it reminds me when it’s someone’s birthday, which I’d never remember otherwise. And hell, the “iLike” application alone is worth setting up a profile. An app that reads what artists I listed in my music section and then provides notifications when they are touring near me? Sweet!
I don’t care for any technology.
Will never use an X-box or an iPod.
I completely skipped VCR’s and now DVD’s. My TV runs off the air, not a cable.
I never used a portable phone, pager, or CB radio, walkie talkie, or cell phone.
Awards shows.
Parades.
There are plenty of things I don’t like or don’t get–which is how a lot of people are answering this thread–but as far as what I simply don’t care about:
[ul]
[li]What other people wear.[/li][li]Reality TV. I haven’t even managed to develop enough curiosity to watch an episode.[/li][li]MySpace, etc. It’s not that I don’t like them; I haven’t even looked. If the people on them don’t care enough to make a real Web site, then why would I care enough to go and look at it?[/li][li]Most professional sports. If a friend is involved or it’s helping to pay my bills (my wife does some contract work for ESPN), then I care. Otherwise, meh.[/li][li]The vast majority of awards and awards ceremonies. I can’t even keep up with the industry I work in (books), much less the 4.76 billion other awards issued every year.[/li][li]Your sexual preference. If you insist on telling me about it, I’ll probably get annoyed (this includes heterosexuals, BTW), but if you keep it to yourself (and stay away from little kids), I really couldn’t care less whether you prefer men, women, vegetables, or bicycles.[/li][/ul]
Aha! But you’re trapped, you have to have posted this with a computer!
