A hill you will die on.

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

Crocs are the most hideous footwear to have ever been made. They all need burning.

Have you seen those lego crocs? They make the standard ones look like Jimmy Choos.

Ok, next time I'll message you earlier. 😁

Crocs are an abomination ( shoes)

Drive through Costa (etc) should be abolished.

Crappy products and a complete waste of money. A "treat" which people have every bloody day.

You could have had a coffee before you left or wherever you arrived..or taken a travel cup...

and a these places are a massive contribution to road side littering.

Just the epitome of crappy parts modern life.

A slice of pineapple coated in dark chocolate makes going to the Christmas markets in Germany well worth while!

Only if you buy cheap brand coffee! Years ago, 40+, Aldi did Albrecht Gold coffee that wasn't too bad. If I could only afford cheap coffee I would have to drink tea as they all taste the same to me!

Especially 'plastic' yellow 'cheese' slices, my granddaughter bought some in Summer for burgers and there are still a few in the fridge, they never seem to go mouldy, must be nuked with stuff during manufacture.

Just cos weed doesn’t give everyone schizophrenia, doesn’t mean it’s as harmless as herbal tea.

Dope apathy = bore for life.

I've eaten in more than one US restaurant where the menu states that the kitchen could not guarantee steaks cooked beyond medium rare.

Love a bit of minty chocolate! Years ago when McD's did an After Eight McFlurry, I could tuck in safe in the knowledge that I wasn't going to get pestered to share it with the kids, who referred to it as "mum's toothpaste ice cream"...😄

Wearing pyjamas in public

Nor have I and as I am now 78 as of an hour ago, I really CBA Googling either. CBA is one of the best thing about being seriously old!

Happy birthday to you!!!! 💐💐💐🌸🪷🌺🌻🎂🎉🥳🎊🍾🥂🥂

When we were teaching in Army schools, work and social life were very intertwined. Our children learned quickly to say Miss/Mrs/Mr in school but after 3.30 it was first names! When a friends child was due to start school it was explained to her that she would have to say Mr/Miss in school, she continued that though so if her daddy was doing her bath she would still say Mr and not Daddy! Our own daughter got a bit confused, in Assembly the Head said 'Mr JudgeJudy's children, stand up' and our daughter stood up too!

I once taught with a Nun who had taught the grandparents of some of the new 11 year olds! It was a part of the world where women had babies very young though.

I married a Yorkshireman and converted to cake with cheese, even though i am from the superior side of the Pennines.

Fresh dill is the the herb of the devil.
Capers look like tadpole heads.
But tartare sauce is great.

The best chips are chunky, double fried with a little salt and lots of vinegar.

And medical research shows it causes early onset alzheimers (sp?) around age 40. It's dangerous stuff, not as harmless as people say.

But you can taste it.

I absolutely love curries. I love the spices, sure, but you can taste the vegetables and the proteins and every bite is a symphony of different flavours.

Also jalfrezi, bhuna, and madras are really not competitively hot curries.

I don't know if anyone has replied to this later in the thread (sorry if they have!) but if you look up the whole quote I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. It actually describes what you are saying and is generally used in the opposite way to how it was intended.

I think it's "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb".

Radishes used to be properly peppery. What are these watery imposters?

No one should eat new season asparagus. It's MINE.

People who make snotty, undercooked eggs should be shot.

All you can eat breakfasts in pub and hotel chains are never as good as you can make at home.

Bubble tea is deeply unpleasant.

As a society we are making a huge mistake doing nothing to prevent our children repeatedly getting infected with covid every year. Their health will suffer as a result. It is a novel virus, the precautionary principle should always apply, and already it is clear that it has long term implications, including on the immune system and heart health.
If we really cared we would be fighting for airborne mitigations in schools and healthcare and other public spaces.

That hill will be bloody crowded.
