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

Grown men should not wear hoodies and trainers unless they are exercising (or slobbing around at home).

No-one over 12 should wear a baseball cap back to front, no-one over 18 should ever wear one.
I 'fill in', I don't 'fill out' a form.

Putting chips or crisps on a slice of bread. Literally. In the bin. And you are forbidden from approaching a kitchen ever again.

WHAT

@Rainbowdottie I agree on the hair dye. Salon dyes are just a waste of money.

Men are not women.

Racism, sexism or ableism should always be called out immediately even if it is a situation where it will be embarrassing, draw negative attention to you or the other person, piss people off or risk a big fight with multiple members of the group/your family. It is not possible for it to be "not the time and place, emily".

Rainbow do you really not believe in the Apollo moon landings?

No no no. Mint is great it's fucking orange and chocolate that's an abomination 🤨

Agree! I don't think that any sort of fruit and chocolate go together. Terry's Chocolate Orange is horrible and as for chocolate limes 🤢

What about to run out in when taking out the bins?

Hmm, depends whether the bins are on your own property and how dark it is. 🤣

emilysquest · 19/02/2026 17:02

@Jeezitshard spot on re the carbonara! I probably would not actually die on that hill, but my DH, who makes the best carbonara in the world, would.

GreenEyesIsBack · 19/02/2026 17:02

The only thing that belongs in chocolate, is chocolate.
Stop putting bits in things!!!

Having worked with the department in a clinic working with these - you are shaving off lots of years, and causing irreparable damage to multiple organs. Unfortunate truth. And people still go for it. Most will regret once the side effects will come knocking..

Bollocks.

Completely agree! An after eight? Why don’t I just smear some toothpaste between two bits of dairy milk instead

I love After Eights so much haha My one like that would be Crisps and Chocolate together bluegh

Cherrytree86 · 19/02/2026 17:03

Holidays in UK are as good as holidays abroad.

People don’t die on hills now; they pass.

I brought a cake. No you BOUGHT a cake.

Nothing, I mean absolutely nothing makes a man into a woman, and men don't belong in any female spaces.

Also that sliders and socks look good on precisely no-one. Oh and crocs are fucking horrible too

Agreed re crocs and sliders. Ghastly things.

Meat ragu should be served with pappardelle or other larger pasta shapes.

Mint and chocolate are awesome: don't be silly. If anyone weights in to say chocolate and raspberry are awful I'm afraid they just have bad taste.

Namenotimportant85 · 19/02/2026 17:05

Very much agree that coriander tastes like the devil, vile stuff.
also think that avocados tastes like a clean penis, once heard it described as that and now can’t think of it being like anything else. Also vile stuff

Scafell Pike is a hill and not a mountain.

It’s a Fell!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 19/02/2026 17:06

Oh dear - I like cream in carbonara (maybe it needs another name), chocolate with things in it - mint, coffee, orange, nuts, popping candy, jelly beans…., some cheeses with things in - Wensleydale with ginger and mango and a soft cheese Sainsbury’s used to do with walnuts in it.

I’ll see myself out.

You reminded me … floor is only inside a building or structure. Everything else is the ground.

It’s dessert not pudding, pudding is a type of dessert.

I assure you it's pudding. My mother, who was never contradicted by anyone, insisted that anyone calling pudding "dessert," "sweet" or (god forbid) "afters" was "as common as muck.

Mine is "begs the questions" used to mean "raises the question" instead of assumes the answer to the question it raises.

Not entirely sure what the below means but allow me to doubt your hypothesis.

Having worked with the department in a clinic working with these

Anyone who says 'I work in a school/clinic/etc', instead of being able to say 'I'm a doctor/nurse/teacher/etc' is always talking bollocks.

Crudd99 · 19/02/2026 17:06

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