Dwellingdweller

Any eggs that aren't free range, and even then free range aren't great. If you can get locally produced from a farm you are much better off, looking forward to getting my own hens again. Battery farms are disgusting.

As someone said Tesco, I have shopped there recently but I have been thinking of how powerful they have gotten and it's too much

I don't buy Budweiser cos it's shite

littlehedgehog

Yorkie bars.

Because they're 'not for girls'.
Grand then, I'll never buy them again.

Oh wait, your company thinks I, as a female of the species, is so dumb that I'll think 'They're not for girls?! OMG, SCREW YOU, I'm gonna eat then regardless?!'

Eh, no.

I hate bank holidays and Sundays!
We get the day off work but nobody likes them. They're sooooooo crap. Why can't we replace them with taking the Friday and Thursday off instead in our own time.

Agricola

Ferrari, Porsche, Armani and Rolex

If only for my principles.... and total lack of money.

In fairness, something like that takes a bit of research.

Whereas jumping on a bandwagon without any reasearch is easy, as has been shown in this very thread.

Apple, hate them with a passion.
Will never buy a French car, they are a little bit better now but electrically a nightmare.

Not buying Ballymaloe because of Tim Allen is about the most nonsensical thing I've ever heard, punishing an entire (extended) family because of the sexual deviancy of one man, clap . clap . clap. His mother, his wife and his daughter in law, were and are the driving forces behind Ballymaloe.

**** principles, KFC and Coca a Cola taste too good .
If i like it, i'll eat / drink it.

Guy:Incognito

I dont limit myself at all. I buy whatever product I like.

"Tesco because they are too powerful"? Are people for real?

I don't buy their stuff, not on principle, but because it either doesn't work as well as the alternatives or where it does, it costs too much.

I'd like to boycot Nestlé, but they make Fruit Gums, Nespresso and Aero, and I quite like them.

I boycott anything owned by Rupert Murdoch's empire, but that's easy because they produce little of any worth.

Yes but you see their products taste good. Check and mate.

Why single out Coca Cola?Or do you boycott everyone and anything that hurts people in any way? I assume not seeing as you've probably travelled abroad and most liekly eat food.

I boycotted MCD for about a year, during the whole thing.
Was tough in a way, because I go to a lot of concerts, and skipped a few I would have liked to have seen, but it was actually a weaker year for acts than most, as it happened.

I won't fly Ryanair anymore, not through any moralistic principle, but I'm a nervous flyer, and after becoming pretty comfortable with flying with Aer Lingus for a while, I then took a Ryanair flight and spent two hours panicking. Just felt really unsafe up there, like the walls were paper thin or something. Again, not necessarily disparaging the airline, the prices can be phenomenal, and if people are comfortable in the plane, that's great. I guess I just can't handle it.

I would boycott KFC on ethical grounds, but I don't really need to, because I think the taste and texture of the chicken are horrible and greasy, so I wouldn't eat it anyway.

Dell.

Made me redundant and drove half of Limerick on to the dole because they decided to get workers for €3 p/h elsewhere. Wouldn't give them the steam off my piss let alone any of my cash.

indeed, and they continue to support him and stand by him.

if he was in my family i would disown him.

I dont do microsoft. Becuase of proprietary issues, and it's vicious monopolisitic practices, and its substandard software.

I try and avoid google too, however I use the search for now.

Mint Sauce

Apple (the iTouch i won but rarely use it)
The Sun

CreepingDeath

I avoid all "Fairtrade" brands.

martha jones

Goodfellas, Subway, not sure if it should be here, but Ryanair!!

Yahew

I do have to laugh at the kind of muppets who hate Apple's "closed" system and have an xBox or Wp7, or love Google's "open source" but use MS not Linux, or think Apple users are sheep while using the majority monopolistic OS.

You are the sheep. Nothing worse that a group-thinker who thinks he is radical.

Yahew

There is a general GroupThink about RyanAir too. I have used about 20 different Airlines in my time, and RyanAir is the one which hasn't let me down. Its also the reason why travel in Europe is cheap.

So what's the end game for someone like him? You would only be happy if his wife divorced him and his entire family disowned him? He should be completely ostracised from society? Would it not be better if he got some form of treatment with the support of his family, if he had nothing left to live for he might be more likely to act on his deviant desires?

Maybe he should just kill himself?

Abercrombie and American Apparel based on the deep-seated principle of not being a cunt.
