Dogs are better than cats (I have both)

Salted popcorn is better than sweet

Sports, especially football, is a waste of time and money

Cats don't bury their own poo, they do it in the middle of the neighbour's lawn Angry

Popcorn is shit and it tastes shit and everyone that likes it is an awful human being.

All let's are a waste of time and money and just spread fleas and vet bills.

Pineapple pizza is the best pizza.

It's a Scon, not a SCone.

Bread rolls are called batches, not cobs, not balm cakes, not any other provincial name.. batches.. got it?

Oh and Ed Sheeran is fucking awful. 😝

But HOW DARE YOU!! Thems fighting words Angry

You're right about dogs and cats and wrong about popcorn. As for sport - do you mean doing sport yourself is a waste of time and money, or professional sport as a spectacle is a waste of time and money? I'm not interested in sport, but it makes people healthier if they do it, and helps keep the economy going when they pay to watch it!

lazylinguist · 07/06/2020 16:33

Yep, definitely 'scon', not 'sc-oh-n'. Jam or cream first though? With butter as well? Wink

Soubriquet · 07/06/2020 16:54

I don’t like scones.
Or cake
Or pizza

Or a lot of food actually... Blush

Love both dogs and cats equally but would really like a pet aardvark or platypus .
Sweet popcorn .
Yes to sport ( except perhaps fit rugby players and equines )

Popcorn is lovely...ish.

My pets don't spread fleas.

Pineapple does not belong on pizza and only heathens think it does.

Scons don't exist but scones are delicious as long as you put the jam on first. It has to be blackcurrant jam.

Bread rolls are called Bread rolls. A Batch is a bach and is a holiday house.

What does Ed Sheeran do? He's not a musician after all.

Spacecudet · 07/06/2020 17:08

I was with you on all counts until you said you don't like a lot of food.
I love SCones (not scon), jam first then cream. I don't like bread much though, and a bread roll is a bread roll, but all bread has to be turned into toast to make it edible.

Flymetothetoon · 07/06/2020 17:11

Cats are best
Ditto toffee popcorn
Agree football is shit but I like the horse racing 🏇

JellyfishandShells · 07/06/2020 17:13

Agree with you, OP , sorry

Mumoblue · 07/06/2020 17:15

Ugh, salted popcorn is an utter crime. My sister used to make it in the microwave when we were teenagers and stink up the whole bottom floor.

Cats and dogs each have their own downsides and merits.

But you're right about sport. Dont care about any of it.

So much jam error there.

Jam goes first. Jam has to be blackcurrant. End of. Grin
pollyskettles · 07/06/2020 17:32

My only error was my denial of sons Grin Mind you, I'd have more scones and jam if there weren't any!

VelociraptorRex · 07/06/2020 17:59

Jam goes first, no question. Otherwise the cream squishes everywhere when you try and spread the jam (cos you have to have the whole pot of clotted cream, obviously).

monkeyonthetable · 07/06/2020 18:09

@pollyskettles - are you sure that's not foxes? I've never seen a cat dump on a lawn and out neighbourhood is heaving with cats who all hang out with our tom. They poo in our flowerbeds (but bury it) but only the foxes dump on the lawn.

Happynow001 · 07/06/2020 18:13

I like warm fruit scones with thinly sliced cheddar and

I like warm plain or preferably cheese scones with a little butter and very good thinly sliced deli ham and maybe a little sliced mature cheese ...

With a nice cuppa.

Mmmmm 😋

20mum · 07/06/2020 18:14

You say you want me to argue with you?
Hah! Shan't. So there!

polkadotpjs · 07/06/2020 18:16

I want some Butterkist and a scone now
Sorry it's a no to salted popcorn
Not sure on dogs/ cats but my cat poops in the litter tray but leaves it out in full view. Vile

Agree dogs are great.
Agree salty or sweet n salty mix.
What the actual??!!!! Football is amazing! The passion, the team spirit, the way it spans generations and links people from all backgrounds. Definitely disagree on this one Smile

Justgivemewine · 07/06/2020 18:24

Yes (marginally, not fussed on either)
No, toffee popcorn is the best
Yes (lots of silly men and their silly balls) 😁
