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

😂Nooooo I love avocado but now I will always think of this

I live on avocado and have never once had this rather odd thought. It smacks of mind over matter to me ...

@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 was referring Mounjaro specifically which is a very new drug, only licensed for use over here in 2022. It’s fundamentally different from the older GLP -1 drugs. As of 2025, real-world experience is only around 3 years, with clinical trial data extending to about 5 years.Do no, not enough is know about it. It’s my hill, I stand on it.

It is an invitation, not an invite.

Invite is a verb.

I get this is a lonely hill as language seems to have moved on - but not for me.

Feel the same way about correct use of which and that

Flight is not a superpower. A superpower is something you can already do, to a “super” level, like x ray vision or extra sensitive hearing. Humans can’t fly so flight is not a superpower. This is regular argument in our house.

I love this. Never thought of it before but will now definitely bring it up in all social occasions. You're completely right.

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

I like having a clean penis in my mouth but I absolutely cannot stand avocados 🤢

I think we are need to borrow the Himalayas for this one, i am there too.

Also there are not 3 ghosts in a Christmas Carol, there are 4, 5 if you include muppets or loads if you count non speaking background ones.

Simple in the head?

What a wonderful way to show your lack of ability for reasonable conversation mate!

At least it shows you can be ignored completely, otherwise some very few might have taken notice of your ridiculous statement!

I wonder what role he was employed in at “the clinic”…
I'm guessing janitor!

Interesting. What if your ability to fly was powered by something like ability to wave your arms like wings - we can all wave our arms, they have a superpower that makes their arm waving result in flight.

This is the nub of the argument. People in films are always shown effortlessly soaring about, not flapping like hummingbirds.

I often have to stop reading threads about weddings and parties because of that.

Agreed
At the very least, it’s a waste of a good orange.

Women should never drink beer out of pint glasses ... it looks naff, and I wonder what they're trying to prove. Looks (to me) the same as a man drinking a sherry out of a dainty little sherry glass. Just so wrong!

So what you’re saying is I should order my beer in a wine glass? I mean… beer comes in the glass it comes in!

My serious one is that if social care were fully nationalised the UK economy wouldn’t be in quite the state it is (but it’s too late now, sadly).

Food that is supposed to be hot being lukewarm is infuriating.

Rarely buy it nowadays- coffee (specifically take-away) should not be served hotter than the sun so that even after 10 minutes of carrying the fucking thing it still renders one unable to taste for 24 hours.
