Tomato ketchup- was appalled by the very idea of it even as a toddler. It will never pass my lips.

Same!!
I can't even bring myself to rinse the bottle for the recycling due to the smell. I force DH to do it.

Although I’m now questioning myself a little having (once) had a threesome but never having tried ketchup.

I won’t even sit by a bottle of the horrible red stuff.

Really any kind of extreme sport type activity. I have no desire to go white water rafting, caving, hang gliding, zip lining, mountain climbing, wild swimming etc. The idea strikes fear into my heart. No thank you.

God yes - horse racing
esp dressing up and rahing at an event where animals are regularly shot because of injuries sustained. Jesus wept.

Horse racing is amazing although I agree the Ladies Days are usually annoying as they attract people who aren’t really into racing.

Nah you can keep your horse racing
That’s never one I’ll be convinced on - I don’t even believe horse should be kept
I think they should be free like in the New Forest

So never going to agree with racing them for sport

When did you last visit a racing yard? I’d be surprised anyone could have such a strong view if they haven’t witnessed the operation first hand.

The life expectancy and quality of care race horses receive is way higher than those living free in the New Forest.

I am close with people that keep horses. Not for racing, which is a whole different level

Would you rather be kept in an enclosed space and forced to behave in a certain way all your life and live 20 years, or be free and live 12?

FarleyHatcherEsq · 14/01/2024 10:52

@StringTheory1 see I reckon I'd love Crystal Meth. There was this woman on a Louis Theroux documentary who used it so she could clean her house for hours, I could use that oomph! In fact if I only had a week left to live I would use all the drugs that I've never tried just to see what they feel like.

Haha, you may have a point there! But I’d rather use speed or cocaine for that purpose…the facial sores with crystal meth kind of put me off 🤣. No use having a sparkling mirror if the reflection is of a pox victim!

Most race horses have a very short career. Flat types typically 3 or 4 years so not sure your analogy is relevant.

The health of wild horses is also appalling compared with current and ex-racing stock.
