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

Ever heard of neutering?

Agree. No-one should be with anyone who is old enough to be their mother or father (or young enough to be their son or daughter.) IMO!

Famous men who get to middle age and dump their wife of 20+ years. for a woman young enough to be their daughter, turn my stomach. And the older they get the younger the women get. And yes yes yes I KNOW a few female celebs go for younger men, but more male celebs go for much younger women.

I used to really like Leo Dicaprio, but he turns my stomach now. In his early 50s and dates women just out of their teens! 😖And Alec Baldwin's wife is young enough to be his daughter,. Ditto Michael Douglas, his wife Catherine is young enough to be his daughter too. Same with Harrison Ford, Sly Stallone, Steve Martin, Clint Eastwood, Will Shatner, there are loads more.

Funny isn't it, that when most famous middle aged men, (say, in their 40s or 50s,) get divorced, they never go for a woman 15-20 years older than them.

(I say 'famous men' because 'ordinary civilian' men don't tend to end up with a women 20-25 years younger when they're 50-odd. Then again, most women who are in their 20s and 30s aren't looking for a man old enough to be their dad! The vast majority of middle aged men have nothing to offer a woman!)

Just no🤨 coffee is only acceptable hot. I love coffee but can't stand coffee flavour things. And obviously wouldn't be caught dead drinking an iced coffee FFS🙄 also anyone who drinks lattes really doesn't want a coffee, it's basically just hot milk.

good rice cooking is an art that you learn through trial and error

unless using a rice cooker the recommendations of rice/water always produce badly cooked rice

Balls. They are much comfier than jeans etc. Love my gym clothes!

Agree here! I love an after eight but can't stomach a Terry's chocolate orange!

Cucumber is the worst smelling food in the entire world (even worse than a durian!) and should not exist. Imagine my surprise when I learnt that there's a genetic component to this and to some people it doesn't smell at all. I'd love to be one of those people!

It's not hateful bile to point out an obvious fact. Trans women couldn't be that kind of woman if they weren't men to begin with. And obviously nobody on the face of the planet can change into the opposite sex. That's not me being nasty, it's just the truth, no matter how hard that truth is for some people to accept

@BlimeyOReillyO Don't take what I say with a pinch of salt - I'll give you a better one: Don' take it AT ALL. (Darn it! done the all caps thing again, there is just no hope for me...). I really should not have mentioned the work I did, that was utter mistake. Multiple times I have encouraged for everyone to do their own research, talk to their specialists, so I don't know what to tell you. It changes nothing about my life if you do or don't do it.

Your argument that people who are also interested in topics around relationships or sex cannot be knowledgable in things is chef's kiss though. Excellent logics.

Have a good rest of your week!

'Camel's arsehole in a sandstorm' 😆

@Wombat8 has an excellent turn of phrase😁

Are you ok? You’ve not tagged me, but I think you’re replying to me?

Anyway 👋, you appear to be off now.

And, hand on heart, if you were to take the Eurostar to the capital of France, where would you tell your friends you were going to?

Wow!! I did not know that... it's odourless for me. Whereas Durian is not!!

*quoted me

And please feel free to join in with a rousing chorus to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it": "If a person has a penis he's a man, if a person has a penis he's a man - even if he can't abide it, cuts it off or tries to hide it - if a person has a penis he's a man."

Well that's stuck in my head now. I'll be singing it out loud if I'm not careful

You also called it a “silly jab” hardly encouraging people to do their own research?

Same here!

And that is exactly the problem with people like you to have discussions with. That is your takeaway - oh hahaha the imbecile forgot to click "quote", well there's my moral high ground. Well done. You about second or third time need to reply to your own comments to correct words... and yet you grasp straws like that. Truly beautiful debate culture. Constantly steering it to be personal and insulting, not reflecting to anything in the original thought. Yeah. Let's call it a day.

I also said people who don't take their shoes off when they lie down on the sofa or bed should be in jail. Jesus. Here's a kicker: I don't try to encourage actually jailing these people. Shocker, i know.

That's because Yorkie puds supposedly should only be served with roast beef.

I disagree with it all entirely. Nothing beats filling a Yorkie pud with gravy and consuming it.

Totally agree about Leonardo Dicaprio! I was just recently thinking he's crossed over to the creepy old guy zone. 🤮

What?! I've never heard this before. I assumed everyone called their blood Auntie's husband their uncle?

But that's nonsensical. It's like saying you're going to call a mince pie an elephant. And since when did someone holding a different opinion to you become "hateful bile"?

The people involved in child sex trafficking rings should burn, and if that means that we have to scorch the earth and live with a mess until we rebuild then that's what needs to happen. None of this "we can't possibly go after everybody because that's too many Important People...."

Let. Them. Burn.

Edited: Yeah I know I brought real world big problems to a light hearted thread. I'm so fuelled by anger at these monsters that I can't do light hearted right now, but maybe I'll be back.
