Dislikes

Ketchup .... on pancakes ... 

[fsn]

P40 Warhawk - awful plane whose only redeeming fature seems to have been sharks teeth
Brewster Buffalo - ugly little thing
P39 Aircobra - ... ugh

[Ithoriel]

The P40 is a competent Air Superiority fighter and IT HAS COOL SHARKS TEETH!!

As to the Kobrushka it was a great little fighter once you stripped out the unnecessary wing guns.

"I liked the Cobra, especially the Q-5 version. It was the lightest version of all Cobras and was the best fighter I ever flew. The cockpit was very comfortable, and visibility was outstanding. The instrument panel was very ergonomic, with the entire complement of instruments right up to an artificial horizon and radio compass. It even had a relief tube in the shape of a funnel. The armored glass was very strong, extremely thick. The armor on the back was also thick. The oxygen equipment was reliable, although the mask was quite small, only covering the nose and mouth. We wore that mask only at high altitude. The HF radio set was powerful, reliable and clear." - Soviet pilot Nikolai G. Golodnikov, recalling his experiences of the P-39

I REALLY dislike pay toilets!

I got caught short at Euston once, before they had change machines there.  I only had a £10 note.  I jumped the barrier and got stopped by the attendant, who told me to go back out. I explained my predicament and said you have two options - You can let me go and use the toilet or you can clean up outside when go out there.

He saw my point.

You have nailed the point precisely!
If they were truly cunning they would put them inside so you have to pay to get out!

Spitfire - Mks II or V.

Good competitor, I won't deny it.

[FierceKitty]

But the SPAD is also faster than its enemies; great aircraft to survive a dogfight with!

[fsn]

Again, I emphasis that my dislikes aren't necessarily rational.

I'm sure the Spad is lovely and it's parents love it ... but I don't like it. It will never see action on my table. It might appear as wreckage, but that's it.

Stukas also have shark's teeth sometimes.

Roast chestnuts - the flavour makes me feel nauseous.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Snakes on a plane?
Isn't there a film about that???

[Leman]

Hope it isn't flying to Ireland. It would make St.Patrick's work irrelevant.

Roast chestnuts - the flavour makes me feel nauseous.

Really? Is it specifically the roasted ones that you dislike? One of the very few decent meals I had in my time in China was a hotplate stew of chicken with water chestnuts (which have nothing to do with conkers) and real chestnuts in a rich sauce. And there's a French sausage with pork and chestnuts that sounds quite delicious.
It is, by the way, quite hard to persuade SE Asians that people from other parts of the world can also buy roast chestnuts off braziers beside the road. Lee was amazed to see 'em in Italy.

[Leman]

Yes, it's the roast ones. I love water chestnuts and chestnut stuffing, but roast chestnuts leave me with a peculiar aftertaste that makes me feel quite queasy. I also get it with some varieties of apples, e.g. Pink Lady fine but Royal Gala a definite no no.

The American habit of starting a statement to introduce a new topic with "So", when there's no blasted result element at all.

[Tawa]

The American - and rapidly spreading! - need to use the word "like" as punctuation. STOP IT!!!! 

[Techno]

For me.....Even worse, is listening to a phone in, and hearing someone using "You know" every few seconds.
I'm afraid I stop listening to what they're saying, and just count the number of times they use that particular verbal tic.

Some are absolutely astounding.

There seem to be more "You knows" than coherent speech. !

Cheers - AAAAARGH !!

[Chad]

You know Phil you could be right. 😈

[d_Guy]

So...Like...you don't care for our speech patterns?
