It's sc-oh-n not sc-on.

It's BY accident not ON accident.

@BlimeyOReillyO and @exhaustDAD aren't you both bored yet?

My mum said scon, @Jimmyneutronsforehead - if I start saying sc-oh-ne she will come back and haunt me!

Fair question. I am done. Sorry for the barrage of annoyance.

He did mention side effects.
His reply was agreeing with the poster who first said about the long term side effects.

I don’t really care what other threads other people are on tbh.

I have disagreed with posters on here that I’ve agreed with on other threads and vice versa.

I don’t base my replies because I think someone is a good person or not, I do it because I agree or disagree with that particular post.

This particular thread is about personal opinions and I disagree with many of them but I wouldn’t then judge them on another thread because they don’t happen to like mint and chocolate together.

It annoys me how many posters will jump on posters who are either men or say something negative about WLIs.
You can disagree with their opinion without piling on.

Chocolate and dried fruit are wonderful together!

Edited

I’m eating a Lindt 40% fruit and nut bar as I type. It is delicious.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 19/02/2026 20:36

And Green and Black’s dark chocolate with crystallised ginger is Farr too nice for me to have it in the house!

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?

Parith? 🙂

Open your house as a haunted Airbnb for paranormal weirdos and rake those pounds in.

Listening to audiobooks is not reading.

i love an audiobook, don’t get me wrong, but I haven’t read a book. I’ve listened to someone narrate it

This has probably been done before but my SIL’s husband is not my BIL

Tweakments can look amazing if done properly...

Oh and the Tattle Mumsnet thread is full of individuals with severe mental health issues who have no place calling out anyone from here (even though MN is equally as batshit)

Matcha tastes like grassy fish and has a disgusting wax texture.

Matcha's revolting as a drink but makes a weirdly good ice cream - try one of the Asian supermarkets for a decent version.

If we're talking about food, real, home made wholemeal bread. I'd far rather get up a little earlier and make decent wholemeal bread with yeast, and a crust, than eat the flabby sour blotting paper that passses for bread in most supermarkets. My son has grown up eating the real thing.

And if we're talking wider life, women have two X chromosomes. Those with XY chromosomes are not women.

I can't believe we live in a world where a man with a real life penis can call himself a woman and use womens bathrooms and all the rest of it and if you say anything about it its labeled hate speech and youre branded "transphobic". Anyone with a penis should not be in the womens bathroom, I dont care that youre wearing a dress, Steve.

Christmas cake and cheese do not belong together.

Omg absolutely they do! Lol 😆 strong cheddar and moist Christmas cake could be my staple diet!

Your aunts and uncles are your blood relatives. Their partners are not your aunts or uncles

In a similar vein, your spouse’s grandchildren from a previous marriage are not your grandchildren even if they were born after you were married. They are the grandchildren of the two people who bore their parents.

@CountryGirlInTheCity nor should they hog the spots at the Saturday morning Pilates class when there are plenty during the week! Drives me mad...

Chicken and mushroom vol-au-vant is too filling to be a starter!!

Chocolate and fruit do not go together 😫
Are you joking?
Dates stuffed with peanut butter then dipped in chocolate are amazing.
Raspberries on top of a chocolate mousse absolutely slaps!
Banana with whipped cream and chocolate sauce!
Strawberries dipped into a chocolate fountain!
Black forest gateau
Pear and chocolate frangipane tart

The list is almost endless!

Never heard anyone say tip either. But apparently they do.....just not nearly as much as tit (which fits much better anyway especially with "arse" at the beginning)

@GreenEyesIsBack @PithyViewer @exhaustDAD

Sorry, actually it's "Ass (or, arse) over tea kettle."
