Overrated/Underrated!

[biscuits]

So the premise is simple.

You say something and then the person below says whether it's overrated or underrated.

Then they post the next thing to over or under rate.

e.g.

Chicken pies?

Next person to post:

Overrated!
Fig rolls?

You can add extra details and explanations of course - it's just a fun thread.

[MissKatie]

Alright, so we'll start with fig rolls.

Horribly underated. Tasty, almost healthy and fun if you get the own brand to bite off the sides before eating the biscuit.

Wayne Rooney the footballer

[biscuits]

Overrated.

Being tickled?

[anewyear]

Massively overrated. Not many things that I hate more than being tickled.

Pavements.

[gregarious_introvert]

Underrated. I've lost count of how many times I've wished for a pavement when wandering around a city which either doesn't have them, or they are narrow and have cars parked on them. PS. I hate being tickled too.

New Year's Eve

[biscuits]

Overrated. HUGELY. Sleep > NYE :pirate:

Crisp sandwiches

[gregarious_introvert]

Overrated (and that's not retaliation for dissing my favourite night of the year - I have tried them and don't understand why some people rave about them).

Costa Coffee

[Mike.Kzov]

^ Overrated! Super overrated! A coffee shop that sells only one kind of coffee bean, but countless nonsense drinks (banoffee pumpkin skinny Frappuccino )

Sleep

[Tubbs]

Underrated, I love a good kip.

Spiders

[biscuits]

Underrated

farting?

[Tubbs]

Underrated, I love having a good fart

Dungarees

[Mike.Kzov]

^ Underrated. They're functional, and can also make you look like an employee in a 1950's car factory.

The sun

(as in the star, not the tabloid!)

[biscuits]

^ ooh a toughie, Mike. I think on sauk, which seems to be 90% sun-hating, it's underrated. I get SAD and being half Portuguese I'm a sun worshiper. I don't mean I sunbathe and things like that. I take protection from the sun very seriously. I just love the summer months. Plus I just get really cold in autumn and winter and can never seem to warm up! Although I don't hate either season. I just love summer so much!

meditation?

[Mike.Kzov]

^ you're half Portugese? :-O

[biscuits]

Yes, my waist and legs.

[gregarious_introvert]

^^^ I didn't know that either. Any relatives you'd like me to drop in on whilst I'm here?

^ Hahaha anything for a free pastel de nata, hey?

[gregarious_introvert]

^ Actually, I was after some bacalhau, but yes, you got me.

Anyway, back on topic: Meditation is, I think, underrated by most and overrated by some. I can't do it, but I find even trying beneficial (although I don't try often enough - I did, though, when I was learning to practice mindfulness).

Right, off the fence, splinters out of my arse...

Underrated.

Fish and chips

^ Underrated - well cooked fish and chips is so, so good. I went to this Fish and Chips place in Bath once that had such light, fresh fish, and tasty chips. That plaice seemed to do a roaring trade, and rightly so!

Pajamas

[biscuits]

^ underrated! I love being cosy in bed with pyjamas and fluffy socks.

Salad dressing?

[gregarious_introvert]

I would say underrated, but whenever I try to buy my favourite mango & chilli dressing in Aldi, it's all gone, so it must be highly rated.

Adele

Adele is overrated. I only like a couple of songs and she doesn't like brie.


Camembert

[Tubbs]

Overrated. My boyfriend buys it sometimes - every time you open the fridge door it smells like mouldy feet!

The Netherlands?

[gregarious_introvert]

Overrated. I went there once on a mountaineering trip and it was a disaster.
Seriously, it's fine but not my favourite country and way too expensive.
