What would it be?

For me, free form modern jazz and anything involving Lulu.

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

Country & Western. Jazz, all kinds.

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

Same here, together with Wagner!

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

pretty much all of what passes for entertainment these days.

glee, id rather remove my eyeballs with a spoon, no really i would

the xfactor apprentice without talent who looks like some wag from heat magazine and is in a band we made specifically for christmas just so we can cash in on not a celebrity big brother whos stuck in a ****ing jungle with two Geordie *****

**** off, just **** right off, this is not entertainment its the death of culture and society, the death of reason and thought. to be replaced by vacuous soundbites and news speak.

oh and the cinema here can be pretty ****ing miserable but thats only because my better angles prevent me from beating the nuggets on the phone to death with said phones during the film. were they not there or i allowed myself to kill them im sure id find it a lot more pleasurable

Nightclubs. End of.

Pubs I love, but the idea of standing in a sweaty room, with music so loud you can't hear each other speak, being rinsed for drinks at twice what you'd pay in the bar downstairs, and the room being full of personality vacant twats preening... nope. :thumbdown:

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

Other people's holiday photos.

Nice to see a few, but hundreds? I also find it odd that people post so many photos their holidays on FB. A few days away and they think anyone wants to see 50-200 of their crap photos?

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

Package Holidays - what i thought was Utopia 30 years ago is now akin to Dante's Inferno .

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

Unless it's a fit bird with 150 bikini shots.

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

if we are talking holidays - anything that involves being forced to be with other people - bus tour type things for example...

My idea of hell would be a cruise - I can't begin to imagine the hell that would be. I'd be praying for the iceberg...

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

And how big an ego do you have to have to post loads of photos of yourself, especially scantilly clad ones, for all to see? No decorum these days.

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

Balls of various ex-pat sporting clubs/institutions in the Middle East

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

Agree with all the reality shows.

Also throw in any soap - Eastenders / Corrie etc...all utter cunting gash.

In addition, anything that involves shit American TV like Sex and the City or Lost or Prison Break. I'd rather suck a mans porridge pole.

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

Oh god. So true. Especially if it was a table of say, 8 people, that you had dinner with each day for two weeks. I can guarantee they would all be utter helmets.

Then you get off the boat in some amazing city and have about 4 hours to see everything before spending 3 days on the floating prison before getting to see nothing of another city.

Yeah it's a bit much sometimes. But, acceptable if they are fit.

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

I'm with you on the soaps, but I like the US Series, House, Lie to Me, Lost, Burn Notice, Justified. Although I'll concese it gets very samey after the first couple of series. Heroes was good, had a definitive storyline rather than milking series after series. Bit like the Age of Apocolypse (Marvel) coomic book story. Think I might be on my own with the comic book thing though.

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

Personally not a big fan of anything sci-fi (Heroes, Lost after series 1 etc)...House I agree, it's quality...but they are so rare.

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

Opera. I thought I was a cultured lad and took a posh bird to an opera in the smoke. A bottle of vino beforehand and within 15 minutes I was snoring on her shoulder. Fail.

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

I hear you!

This must be the worst example http://easycruise.com/pHome.aspx?cltid=1

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

Most all so called "reality TV".

Basically a room full of extremely fat blokes in tuxedos perspiring heavily over the nearest bar girl bride....

Being stuck in a traffic jam in my bosses car whilst he blares classical music... then when I complain he changes to Scorpion.. (ie - yesterday on the way back to work!)

Isn't the old Easy Cruise yacht still berthed next to QE2 in Port Rashid, I know it used to be.

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

seconded, bunch of self aggrandising numpties usually taking turns at braying at each other. Most of them make me embarrassed to be an ex-pat.

rather drink my own blood than attend one of these functions

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

sorry :o

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

Weekend shopping in Deira City Centre.

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

UAE Community Radio, 7 Days, Gulf News, The National, and Cabbage Times! The Daily Mail, The Sun, The Grauniad, and not forgetting britishexpats.com

I put Philippino Bands in the same category as Wagnerian Operas! - They seem to go on for days, and lack originality!

No! - I take that back, It must Bollywood Movies ahead of everything else! Same Same but different every time! - Isn't it?

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

Anything involving "celebrities" pretending to be poor/old/blind/disabled/ugly etc for a week so they can "experience life like *real people* and we can all gawp at the terrible circumstances some people face.

Celine Dion

Riverdance

Any reality tv show which involves gobby wannabes braying endlessly about utter shite.

Cricket, snooker and darts. As spectator sports as darts and snooker in a pub can be fun.

Re: Your idea of entertainment hell?
 

all of the above as I'm a right miserable bastard

*except BC's outrageous cricket slur ( you can have 20/20 but leave test cricket out of it )
