I’m bored and feel a bit ill so come and argue with me

Dogs are better than cats (I have both)

Salted popcorn is better than sweet

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

Individual or team sports? Or both?

Why are you wearing a nightie? This is pyjama weather.

Soubriquet · 07/06/2020 18:33

I always wear nighties

I don’t like pyjamas. I don’t wear anything apart from my knickers when I’m sleeping

Bah to nighties! They ride up.

Although to be fair I normally sleep naked but I'm "camping" in the conservatory with DS tonight, so I can't think of anything but pyjamas.

Is this the five minute argument, or the full half-hour?

pollykettles · 07/06/2020 19:34

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.

I see the neighbours cat in the garden but never a fox so I don't know. I do know it's very foul smelling and disgusting when you go out barefoot and tread in it. I'm often up late and in the garden so I think I'd see a fox from time to time.

I can’t sleep with anything on my legs like that.

A cat has had a shit in my potato patch this weekend so I'm firmly on the side of dogs (always have been to be fair).

You want an argument OP? Depending on which part of the country you're from, the pronunciation of "bath" in this house is always a good starting point!

VelociraptorRex · 07/06/2020 20:55

(I think bath is said like the queen says it, with an R in it, DP is northern so he disagrees)

Barth here too

Pisses my dh off who says baff

And caaarstle. I put on an extra posh accent just to annoy him Grin

Sparklfairy · 07/06/2020 21:39

It's NOT scon. Scon is pretentious. Do you say bon instead of bone? Hm?!? Grin

My DM's cat has all the good parts of being a cat no work involved yet has the personality of a dog. Best of both worlds.

"Do you say bon instead of bone? Hm?!?"

Do you say Done as Dun or D-own? 😝

Standrewsschool · 07/06/2020 21:54

Dogs and cats - wrong, a lot of people love their animals
Popcorn -sweet all the way
Sports -not a waste of time, can be expensive though

Nighties - prefer to pyjamas,

Bath - Barr - th

Don't nighties ride up? Sounds so annoying.
My legs would freeze if I didn't wear tight layers on them at night. I have very cold legs, and ice cube feet.

Hushabyelullabye · 07/06/2020 21:58

Yes
Yes
Yes

No arguments from me op

grassyhillocks · 07/06/2020 22:07

No - cats rule

No - toffee popcorn every time

Yes - and OMG the endless before-and-after punditry

I see your contentious items and I add:

The avocado. They are vile.

willowwispa · 07/06/2020 22:23

Avocado with chilli and chargrilled feta cheese makes a delicious sandwich filling for tiger bread.

lljkk · 08/06/2020 18:20

Avocados are divine & cats rule.
