Trump's doing a good job on North Korea and deserves lots of any credit if there is a good outcome - an opinion shared by the PM of South Korea. The North Korean nuclear test site is already unusable after problems during previous tests. Any declaration that it is being closed down because of diplomacy is therefore a sham. It’s a good thing but it’s entirely down to North Korea’s incompetence and Kim Jong Un’s desire to cover that up. Trump has been played on this but he needs a win so much that he’s prepared to have North Korea pull a fast one so that he can do so. |

Oops! Looks like I've been singled out for not offering an explanation when I put Gogglebox. So the reason I think it's an unpopular opinion is because most people seem to like it judging by the amount of press it's gets and all the awards.I just don't get it. A group of people who want their 15 minutes of fame sitting in front of the TV commenting on programmes that the producers have told them to watch. It's just cheap TV. That said I quite like the idea of people putting a few words on the thread and not offering an explanation. I find it quite amusing which I think was the original purpose of the thread. But then I've got a warped sense of humour. I dislike the whole 'constructed reality' genre, though I do think something like Gogglebox is the least annoying of its ilk. At least it's just people sitting around the TV and pontificating slightly artificially, it's not people pretending to actually go on a date or fall in love. I agree- I mean at least with Googlebox you're signing up to watch people talk a slightly exaggerated load of sh*te about TV than they normally would. And one or two of them are genuinely amusing humans, so I do sometimes dip in for 5 minutes...then I get bored. |

Is this topic now a bunch of trivial annoyances rather than unpopular opinions? We need more people declaring a liking for something most people dislike. I have a good one - I was on Heather Mills’ side. How long have you worked for Mischcon de Reya? Lawyers... pah! |

I have a good one - I was on Heather Mills’ side. So was I! Thank you. I have never been able to admit that before. Uh-oh...just realised that my agreeing with you might nullify your post for this thread or do we need a consensus to render this a popular opinion? If so, what would that be? |

I'll do this here as I really don't want to be taken to The Tower, but....
Why on earth would Charlie give Meghan away before she even joins the family? My mother-in-law would have loved the chance to have done that. (The feeling's mutual🧙♀️🧙♀️)
Sorry. Don't get it. Hasn't she got an uncle/friend?

Did they get over the problem of someone who had been married and divorced with the first spouse still alive getting married in a church? I must have missed that.

How can anyone not be excited? Two people you've never met and never will are getting married, something that happens only every single day of the year.

I really don’t care - but I must admit it’s kind of nice to see people happy and excited for a change! The news is usually so grim and depressing.
I couldn’t take another day of the build-up coverage, mind. But hopefully once the weekend’s over and all the pictures are published it’ll die down.

I’m happy for a break in the doom and gloom, and a chance to look at a lot of pretty/ugly fashion later. And no I don’t know them, but I also enjoy looking a celebrity wedding pictures too just as a passing diversion/break from the gloom. But another day of reporters standing outside Windsor Castle might finish me off. |

I’m out of the country, I haven’t missed all the over-hype in advance. It’ll be interesting to see it from a different country’s perspective. At the end of a report last night they said ‘no one from the Spanish Royal Family will attend.’ I couldn’t tell if they were annoyed or just bored by the whole thing.

I don't know if this is unpopular, but pushchairs. Mainly when parents are in groups with say three pushchairs, walking in a line, slow as anything who then proceed to get arsey if you ask them to haul ass politely.

Agreed - scary mothers who come hurtling towards you on four wheels and will not stop. I'm surprised I've still got toes left the amount of times they have been run over by pushchairs. Someone once barged in front of me in a queue in Starbucks 'because she had a pushchair', naturally I did the usual British thing and tutted at her! |

Someone once barged in front of me in a queue in Starbucks 'because she had a pushchair', naturally I did the usual British thing and tutted at her! My step-mother-in-law (aged 86) was knocked to the ground and broke her hip when she tried to enter a butcher's shop as a woman with a buggy on a mobile phone was coming out. Needless to say, the buggy-pusher didn't stop and it was the shop's customers and staff who looked after her and rang for an ambulance. She died a few months later. Admittedly, she had cancer but the fall couldn't have helped. I really feel the police should have been involved and the woman with the buggy should have been charged with assault. |

Vague booking is utterly unnecessary - if something can’t be said publicly, then don’t post it. One of my family members is terribly guilty of this, and I refuse to bite.

Pushchairs and buggies are massive these days, they’re more like SUVs than pushchairs

I don’t really understand what you mean (I’m exhausted). It’s where people use social media to roughly outline how they are feeling/what they have done without actually giving details (e.g. “feeling frustrated” or “wish some people would just mind their own business”, which then elicits others to comment things like “what’s happened?” Or my personal fave, “what’s up hun?”. Then typically responses come back like “I’ve messaged you”. It’s the particular use of “some people” though that grinds my gears. |

While we're on the social media gripes (granted it's not an 'unpopular opinion' it seems...points to the woman this morning who posted (and I quote)
"For the box of firsts' Benjamin did a wee-wee in the toilet"
Firstly, you really don't want that in a box. Secondly I get it's probably a big achievement/big moment...but not one that the whole 'world' needs to share...the family group chat at MOST needs to know that.
