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

you do what you want on them, just stay out of the way and don't block people.

Of course you CAN walk faster on them too, that's the whole point.

Why are people making stupid rules about things? No one is stopping you from standing on the side, let people walk and pass you

I agree you can do what you want on them.
The PP said they were not for standing still on.

People who don't indicate at roundabouts and other situations where it would allow someone else to go should have their licences suspended and their cars crushed.

I will never describe a waiter/ waitress as a ‘server’. I actively resist all usage of that Americanism. I’m mostly less bothered by other Americanisms.

apologies if I quoted the wrong person, I was trying to disagreeing with someone who had decided that you mustn't walk on them. Ridiculous 😂

Hit cross buns and mince pies are made with vine fruits. Not chocolate, rhubarb, marmite or any other ridiculous combination that a 9 year old thought up.

And latte should be pronounced with a short “a”. It’s not lartey.

Same with Milan.
Looking at you Tyra Banks and the ANTM cast/crew: "Milarn" 🙄

That it is absolutely fine to wear leggings and a hoody for a hotel breakfast if you’re planing on heading straight to the spa!

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

"From my kitchen, which is where I baked it."

People who buy period houses and 'open' them up (I gutted it blah blah) should be tarred and feathered.Buy a new build .
Ditto those who buy bungalows to add an extra floor and take the tiny amount of these much needed homes away from disabled people. As for HMOs in family areas. Gready bastards.

Don't be ridiculous.

@therewasafishinthepercolator you just reminded me: what you said about biscoff, but for salted caramel. I like normal caramel dammit, and it's been competely supplanted by salted 😡

Having to add milk to your tea means it's a shit tea, or you wouldn't desperately try to hide the taste.

Same with gravy. If you must hide the taste of the meat, it's badly seasoned or poorly cooked.

I put milk in (some of) my tea, because I like the taste of a strong cup of sonething like Assam or Ceylon or a strong tea blend with milk. Other teas I drink without milk. I don't buy shit tea.

And latte is milk, not a type of coffee unless you specify eg latte macchiato.

They all bother me, we have perfectly good words here, we don't need to use Americanisms.

Pineapple does not belong on pizza.

Neither does chicken

emilysquest · 19/02/2026 18:00

Oh yes, chicken on pizza is an abomination.
But I am fine with pineapple.

They can't though, transwomen are men

Move up on that XX hill please 💚🤍💜

MarjorieWestriding · 19/02/2026 18:01

Burrata on pizza is an abomination, an absolute con. Make a fine pizza and then stick a huge lump of stone cold soft cheese in the middle that when you cut it open sends chilly slime over your previously hot pizza, making it both cold and soggy. Just NO.

A bungalow isn’t necessarily disability friendly, and other types of property aren’t necessarily disability exclusive though?

And almost any property can be made accessible for the right person.

That’s really a hill worth giving up on.

Only animal abusers, not abusers of other humans?

You're the one who stated 'zero' benefits', not me.
The fact you're on here berating and insulting women (and it's a women's site and mostly women taking this drug) is shitty behaviour.
The fact you're clearly not medically trained, and I assume not involved in the making of, prescribing of or monitoring of this drug means your opinion is rubbish.

Playing football should not be allowed in the street
