A hill you will die on.

Mine is amongst others that carbonara should only ever be made with long pasta, none of your penne, or fusili nonsense.

I lived in an area that felt I had arrived in the 1940s. No supermarkets or any shop that was open beyond 5.30pm and everyone closed for lunch

I was making mint chocolate chip ice cream from scratch one evening for a dinner party on the Saturday and realised I lacked the mint part.
Trying to think outside the box I decided mouth wash would be a perfectly acceptable replacement. So a splash of mouthwash to taste. Except I think I was too liberal with my splash

🤣

Kids meal in my house, and the sauce over a Lamb Madras is the perfect curry for me :)

Totally agree @KindnessIsKey123

Pretty sure Bob’s your Uncle, not Dave 😉

Dunking biscuits in coffee is disgusting. Soggy biscuits are revolting.

Murasaki - Yes! and Double yes!!

Ah, you are one of those who will not reflect on the topic itself but conclude arguments with personal jabs. How original. It's like playing chess with a pigeon. Yeah, I'm too old for that. Have a good day! Enjoy your healthy weight loss jabs that will have zero impact on your overall health.

I agree about the weight-loss jabs, I think the long term effects are yet to be discovered. I feel like this about vaping too and mobile phones for children. I also think there are too many dogs. Or maybe just too many entitled dog owners and I say this as someone who loves and has owned dogs.

This should be the law.
Extra penalties for flesh coloured leggings.

Don't let the door slam you on your way out.

Next to love, education is the most important element of a child's life. Parents that don't actively support their children in their education are negligent.

And severe penalties for those with the scrunchy bit round the bum-hole. Fucking awful.

It's not morally indefensible. Often shelter dogs need to be homed with a particular set up. IE no children, no other dogs, I've even heard of no men. Some breeds won't suit your family's lifestyle if say you're very active or not active at all. A puppy grows with the family and is used to it. Same for cats/kittens. I've seen cats needing re-homed but I couldn't take most because they don't like dogs or a busy household.

What happens to all the kittens and puppies who are born? Have they to go straight to a shelter or should we just stop family pets breeding altogether?

People who don't neuter and microchip their cats shouldn't be allowed to have them.

High cocoa content dark chocolate is a foul and bitter abomination. Like avocado, nobody actually likes the stuff, it’s just perceived as cool to keep up the pretence.

I love you.

Yes! Six of those mumsnetters who are still full after their few leaves and two cherry tomatoes massive salad.

A Co-op Tiramisu actually only feeds 2 people or one when the other person cancels.

Orange flavoured chocolate tastes gross and like it’s going off.

Unless there is a legitimate medical reason and your kids are otherwise healthy, they should have their childhood vaccines.

M&S Red Velvet cake is the only acceptable red velvet cake.

That’s 3 hills. Not sure which one will be my undoing but happy to die on any of these.

Mixing Up Less and Fewer

I made less mistakes this time - wrong!
I made fewer mistakes this time - Correct
Less people came to the party - Wrong
Fewer people came to the party - correct

I drink less wine now - correct but not true!! 😂😂😂😂

• if you can count the things → use fewer
• If you can't count → use less

Yessss

Red Velvet is not a flavour. Fighting my children on that one..

Yes, men and women can just be friends. It may not be the case for you, I won't judge you for that, but it doesn't mean other people are lying when they say they have friends of the opposite sex where sexual attraction just doesn't enter the equation.

I’m never ever paying cinema prices for popcorn and snacks. I cannot bring myself to do it. Now I can afford it, but my inner poor person won’t let me tap my card. Also sneaking in snacks is half the fun even though they don’t really seem to care about you brining your own food in these days.

Laughs as Gaeilge

Completely agree on both counts.

Media viewing on phones/tablets in public, including transport without headphones should be illegal.
