    I may as post what I've been listening to.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p05l2IhSA4

    Just the songs I think about turn out to be the most unpopular videos on Youtube:rotfl:: The songs I like probably "miss the point" - or I don't even get the point - that they are missing - and therefore like them. Such as the song mentioning love, but it's hardly a love song - indeed, to me, it's the complete opposite. I don't really like love songs:rotfl:. In fact, I like RnB Love (something quite different to the above), but it depends on whether what you define as "RnB" matches up with what I think it is. In other words, I'm fussy indeed and I don't understand how anyone couldn't like the song at the above link:rotfl: - although I suspect few people like it (for some unfathomable reason to me that I'm unable to detect - maybe my brain just hears things totally differently to 'everyone else'?:think:). Another number 68 in the charts for one week I suspect:rotfl:. I don't know why the charts or chart position is relevant to me though:rotfl::rotfl:.

    I think emotion appeals to most people and that's why they love songs that I detest:eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. I really can't stand emotion, as in "love", in songs because, besides not even knowing what the meaning of love is:rotfl::rotfl: (I jest), they come across to me as sentimentality (that I can't stand!) and as way too sugary - I dislike sweet things, or at least things that are too sweet, and instead like the harsh and nasty that come across to me as enjoyable and therefore not harsh or nasty. I just see things the opposite way, with my head face down into the ground and me seeing things upside down (to most people) therefore, usually!:cool: That's what it feels like, when my favourite songs are, indeed, low down on the ground and literally placed at that position as being low down in the charts. Tell you, my favourite song of quite a few acts is actually their least-successful chart placing of all of their songs. They seem to be good in near-proportion to how less well they do.

    Actually there's not even many popular love songs as such around these days (not that I would know any of what is popular) - other songs, instead, that are popular went through a period of really horrible grating vocals - yes, that's what everyone else is listening to from my perspective:rotfl: - and then went into totally, to me, boring or otherwise irritating stuff that is impossible to listen to but which everyone else seems to find it very easy to listen to somehow! Anyway, as much as I get that out of my life, the happier I am!:rotfl:

    With the shops now generally being shut in England and Wales, I think I've finished updating the information on the M list. I might see if msm has some different prices for items that I've been unable to see in any of my Ms, if I ever get onto such a stage later. I don't know about tomorrow - I may go out (probably well!) or I might give it a miss.

    :think:Equals over 33p per tin, but a single tin at M is 25p:think::think::rotfl:.

    I think however the point is that many people might not be able to find them at M and therefore FF could be good for them (but then again many people don't have a Farmfoods). I don't know whether the Tuna Chucks really are very rare in M - they probably are - even though I have them regularly in one of my three main stores. Still no Kia-Ora though:(:rotfl: (as of last week). They're in a reduced section not with the tinned fish:cool:. Other people's rare Ms - they could be with the tinned fish!

    EDIT: And it is Tuna Chunks (in M) not flakes.

    I think the trouble with me and music is that I'm a purist. In too many areas. Most people just say chill out, have fun! But how can I when it's so grating?:rotfl: I did used to enjoy almost all pop music [Strike]years[/Strike] decades:eek: ago - so there was never any 'problem' at all about enjoying it - I just automatically did and never considered not doing so. I still like those now old songs now. [Actually, it may have got a bit better more recently, although how can I really tell? I really haven't got time to get into it nowadays and perhaps I don't really want to - and I prefer the old tried and tested stuff with me anyway! These days, I never know. If something's popular, I just think I'm going to end up disliking it thoroughly after a few plays, so I don't even need to bother with it. Until it's put on and I find the song annoying:rotfl: - in that sense, I [I]bother[/I] with it too much - but then I can't not as I always notice everything around me and can't blot things out!]

    I'm just old - and if you want to provoke a reaction more than any other, you just have to put a "bad" (for me) song on:rotfl::rotfl:. I usually say absolutely nothing though - I usually don't like it but will say nothing (but :eek:won't even pretend that I like it if I'm asked). So, don't ask!!:p:rotfl::rotfl: (Don't put the thing on in the first place:p:p:rotfl:.) It's no good - if you play it as quietly as possible, it will stand out even more.

    I'm not really the grumpy, old, cynical, stuck-in-the-mud person that I come across as - instead I'm happy-go-lucky, relaxed and really nice to know - honest!:rotfl: I am though - I know I'm a cynic, but we all are (especially when the cynicism is so justified) but that's also what actually makes me relaxed and good to know.
