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

@murasaki well said! I spent this weekend in London (I'm from a poor, northern, working class town with flag lovers and roundabout painters galore despite having a very small number of non-white population) and I was gallivanting around all over on my own, despite being a young-ish (ok 40) not unattractive I don't think single woman...

I know, but that's the reason it's tip not tit. If you do a spectacular trip, your arise goes over your head, not your chest! That's why the expression is as it is!

Well. Time to be banned for life. Christmas dinner - it's basically just glorified roast, something we have all year round. I think it is depressing that most nations have something special and we are just eating what we eat almost every weekend (+slightly elevated). The hype is fake. I love a good roast, but to be excited about xmas roast dinner? yawn.

I hope you had a great time! I do wonder how those people think those of us who live here ever leave our houses.

It is! Your arse doesn't go over your chest in a spectacular fall, does it? It goes over your tip! ie over the top of your head!

🤣🤣. I have to agree with meat and melted cheese.

Well… we very rarely have a roast at weekends. Too busy with sports fixtures etc for the kids etc. so it’s definitely something ‘different’ for us. However we never, ever have turkey for Christmas dinner. It’s none of the family’s favourite food, so why have it on a special day? We have whatever meat we all fancy that year.

Messed up posting a photo.

I did thank you! I've been coming to London alone for about 20 years and never had an issue. This time I genuinely kept wishing I'd moved there when I had the chance in 2007... although think I'd have been priced out by now!

I'm a football fan so maybe that makes you learn to be more streetwise...

Both are correct, although dove is more commonly North American.

From David Attenborough:

This is addressed to those who don't want to rent apartments to people with dogs and also to those who won't rent houses to them:
I can't take my dog to the beach for a walk because it bothers you on your vacation. You also won't let me rent a house if I have a dog, and I can't bring my dog on public transport either.
However, I can take my dog through the rubble to find you after an earthquake, into the forest after you got lost in the mountains without a map or GPS, under the snow because you went off-piste despite the prohibition, into the water because you swam despite the red flag, and anywhere else you might need because, in the end, it's just a dog... but it will find you.

All I would say is that in Ulysses by James Joyce (written in the early 1920s) it is literally used as "arse over tip".

Oh I wasn't comparing you to those people! Not at all!

THANK YOU! That is the correct usage. Corrupted by the public, as with "lose" spelt as "loose".

I'm so sorry that you were born without tastebuds. Have you seen a doctor? 🤭

I have many!

Brown and black clothes should not be worn together.
pineapple does not belong on pizza.
New Year’s Eve is massively over-rated.

Either all dogs are rescue and service dogs or this makes no sense

That 80’s music is the far superior era for music.
common sense isn’t all that common anymore… almost extinct these days

It is not necessary to use all the implements in a kitchen when cooking dinner. Especially when the other person is on washing up duty.

Oh dear. Clearly you've never had properly made bread sauce, with the onion and cinnamon. I sorry for you. 🥹

They all have the potential to do amazing stuff that humans can't, is the point.

You have 1 mum & 1 dad
If they divorce then marry someone else, they are not your parents this step mum/stap dad is nonsense!!

Another divisive one: It's ok to cut out people from your life, even if they are blood relatives.

My grandma always used to say the same. She said historically ‘step mother’ and ‘step father’ were used when your birth mother or father were dead and the surviving parent remarried. If you already have a mother and father, and they’re simply divorced, then you have no need of a ‘step’ anything and they shouldn’t be called such. She was very passionate about the subject!

Isn't it because the weather is better there?? It's not exactly a mystery. Maybe sometimes people just want to relax in a home away from home and not spend money on foreign food they might not enjoy.
