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

Oh - and crisp butties, sourdough bread, and avocados.

But coriander is the herb of Satan.

collegues should be collegues and not try to manage other colleagues, and if a collegue is spending time with the managment then thats between the management and the employee etc

Invitation, the word is Invitation, NOT invite.

@Missohnoyoubetterdont GLP-1 drugs have been used for over twenty years. Actually that is another hill of mine. People should stay out of making unasked for comments on other people's medical conditions and treatments.

I have a few.

Mint and milk chocolate is just awful, however dark choc and mint can be lovely.

A soup spoon should be used for soup and only soup.

TW are men, and always will be no matter how they feel or dress. Humans cannot change sex.

There are only 2 sexes.

The word is sex, not bloody gender, when being asked if you're male or female!

No other options needed either.

Gender is a man made concept stereotyping the sexes.

Please learn the difference between your and you're. Also, between allowed and aloud, etc, etc.

The moving walkway at the airport is not for you to stand still on. It's to get you there quicker.

Holidays in UK are as good as holidays abroad.

Particularly if they involved a hill to climb, but not to die on ;-)

Trans women are women.

The sole qualification for a person to be a transwoman is thar they are biologically male.

It's a lie-in, not a lay-in.

I always want to ask, "Where did you bring it from?".

I brought it from the shop I brought it in 🤣

@GreenEyesIsBack. Move up on that hill and make room for me please. Humans cannot change sex.

Let’s make it a mountain- a very visible mountain that can’t just be ignored!

ImWearingPantaloons · 19/02/2026 17:11

A tin of soup does not ‘serve two’.

Get to fuck

Beentheredonethat26 · 19/02/2026 17:11

Also, there's no cream in carbonara.

See also, bought vs brought.

If you expect your mates to shell out for a week in Borneo for your fucking hen party, you're a wanker.

Happyher · 19/02/2026 17:11

Trout lips and dark thick brows look ridiculous

Trans women are women.

Apart from every cell of their bodies being male, of course.

Human beings cannot change sex, and the trans lobby depend on toxic gender stereotypes to support their delusions.

emilysquest · 19/02/2026 17:11

@StolenCookie The word woman is already taken and has a specific meaning, it's not available for use by a subsection of men.

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.

So my improved blood pressure, asthma, and the fact my sleep apnoea has cleared up is 'zero impact'? Grin
You're full of shit mate.

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.

NEver said I was. If you think a school only has teachers, and a clinic only has doctors and nurses, that is a very interesting and juvenile understanding of the world. I am neither - no doctor, no nurse.

And subsequent destination wedding.

Vegan food in cafes/restaurants is not acceptable as the only choice for vegetarians when it is based on fake "meat" and cheeze.

All right-thinking people should carry tip-ex and a black marker to fix misplaced apostrophes in singage.

I normally don't comment on typos but felt this time it was needed because it came, after all, in a pedantic post: it's signage not singage.

Apparently to some people coriander does taste soapy-some genetic glitch-
like the people who can smell the asparagus wee

Mine - amongst others - is that mint and chocolate do not belong together, it is absolutely vile, and is has 100% the same effect as when we were kids, brushed our teeth and then snuck a cheeky bite of a chocolate in, still.

No mobile phones for under 12s. I will suffer and die a long, lingering and painful death on that hill
