Richard Dawson would need to turn the ball to do that! Out of all the gumby spinners that the Poms have produced, he was the worst by a fair distance.

I've got no urge to kill you, I'm not a murderer.
However I do believe you should kill yourself
Most of these things have been said, but I'll give my personal reasons:
Summer. Yes, I very much enjoy the sunshine and lack of rain, as compared to winter. However, people treat it like it's the only good time of year, and that winter is horrific misery. Nice attitude. Spring has all the benefits of summer, without the extreme UV (so that despite my medium skin, I have to slather myself in sticky sunscreen even for going to and from work) and extreme heat (40 degrees for a week: it sucks). And you hear all those ads: 'Hot summah music!' 'Get fit for summah!' Spare me.
Daylight savings. Yes, it's nice to be able to do daylight activities in the evening, but having the sun set at 8:35 is too damn late, especially on an extremely hot day. Note that if there were no daylight savings, it would still set at 7:35 in Adelaide. That's good enough, without the jetlag that has been proven to cost lives, and the rigmarole of changing all my bloody clocks.
Hit radio stations. I can't stand listening to them for more than a few minutes. The idiot announcers, the stupid commercials aimed at sheep, the crappy music. They still make good music these days, but it's few and far between. Same goes for every era really - I'd rather listen to a station that cherry-picks only the good songs, or to talkback, or to the songs on my phone.
TV. It's shit. I just download or record the shows I like, and the vast majority of programming can bugger off.
Snapchat. Okay, I'm probably a bit old to be into this, but why make a diary of your day/night by constantly taking pictures of your stupid face pulling stupid expressions? Just sit back and actually enjoy your day/night.
Hats. Especially bucket hats and big ladies' hats. They generally look crappy, and oddly they seems to be coming back in after being extremely unfashionable just 10 years ago. If you have hair, sunglasses and sunscreen, you don't need one.
Soccer. Especially English soccer. There, I said it. I just can't bring myself to watch that sport, being used to the fast pace of Aussie rules.
Fishing. Bo-riiiiiiing.
4K curved televisions. There is no such thing as a 4K TV channel, and practically no programs or movies are available in 4K. And what's the bloody curved screen in aid of, anyway? Gimmick.
Travelling to south east Asia. Much rather Europe where it's cleaner, with more important landmarks and it's not tropical. I'm yet to go to Europe because it's so much more expensive, but I'd rather wait.
Anal sex. Yuck. I'm not putting my manhood in a shit-hole. Much rather the lubricated tube that nature intended, and that'll make my girlfriend actually moan with pleasure.
Nightclubs. Too damn loud, sticky, stinky, no space, highway robbery prices. At a house party, you can easily have a great social night, meet new people and have good conversations and laughs while the person next to you can actually hear you.
Sydney. Sorry - don't like it as a city, despite the harbour being very nice to look at. Melbourne leaves it for dead.

I put sunscreen on my ears.

Yeah, my head has a lot of hair and it still burns without a hat.
I do put sunscreen on my ears. My girlfriend laughs, but I've been burnt badly there before. I've been burnt too many times in my younger days, so I put lots of sunscreen on now.

agree but I feel point of views are under rated.
Of course you put sunscreen on your ears. Your girlfriend is weird.
Poptarts. I bought a box to try them out as Americans highly rate Poptarts. One bite into the biscuit and the amount of the sugar that was in it.
I don't know how the Americans eat them.

Yanks love the sugar. I work in the food industry. Often Canada will bring up products from the States but they have to change the ingredients because it's too sweet for Canadians.
I think Tonga is. US is up there though.
Sunburnt eyelids are the worst
Never had that. I find lips or back the worst.
Corn on the cob.
Her ears are ugly anyway. Whenever they're out, I just move her hair to cover them.

Fishing is great. Sitting there with mates having some beers talking shit. Even better if its on a boat.
Yeah, a boat or with a fly in a stream is fun.
