    Proper Chinese food or the bland stuff you get in too many restaurants/takeaways?

    The stuff from the takeaways. They have these enormous menus with trillions of dishes and they all sound 'kin amazing, yet they almost always disappoint. I think it's the fact they hold out so much promise of exotic, exciting flavour. Then you get noodles and veg. Hmm.

    And while I think about it - cream. What the **** is the point of food that makes you fat but doesn't actually taste of anything? Waste of calories IMO.

    Friends. I mean to US sh*tcom, that is so hilariously funny NOT!!!!!! Of course real friends, the people you go down the pub with and talk balls to for hours, years, half a lifetime, are great.

    I know people who have bought the whole 9 zillion series in box sets - and then actually watch them too. Have they had all sense surgically removed? And how much time have they got to waste anyway? They should get out on their bikes more.
    I should get out more (on the bike)

    Thankyou Muffin Top, thankyou. I'd go further and say that almost every American TV show that has made its way to this side of the pond in the last decade (24, Lost, House, West Wing etc), is overrated, except for The Wire and Family Guy which are tops.

    Also, anything which is described as 'must-see', 'must-do', must-visit' etc is by definition overrated. And has anyone mentioned Twitter yet?

    I don't think it's possible for ITV to be over-rated any more. People have to rate it for it to be over-rated.

    I'm gonna say modern sports stadiums. Liberty Stadium, Cardiff City Stadium, Parc y Scarlets and so on... bland, ugly, soulless places.

    Why's the Etape over-rated?

    I was thinking of doing it at some point?

    Looks like you may get to experience over-rated premier rugby next season. Hope so, lovely ground and you've been knocking on the door for years only for the relegated side with their parachute payment to go straight back up.

    Because it's full of numpty Brits that are a liability to themselves and others.

    I'm gonna get flamed on this, not for the first time, nor probably the last...
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    A few shortcomings? This man has absolutely done nothing and still has many campaign promises to fill. Thus, he is and was overrated.
