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.

Dark mint choc - perfection. Milk & mint, absolutely vile.

It’s a ‘series’ and not a ‘season’. ‘Season’ has no meaning in the UK for TV shows.

We have enough grey squirrels coming over from the US as it is.

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

Going to say 'noooo!' however, they can be, and they are still adorable 😻

I don’t think you have have thought this through @ConstanzeMozart

It isn’t.

Shitting. You forgot to add that they are shitting. In other people’s gardens, where they kill the birds. Murderers.

Yes, yes, yes.
I refuse to use season, actually any Americanisms.
We have perfectly good words already, we don't need to change them.

Fruit does not belong with savory food, no pineapple on pizza, no apple sauce with pork.

That although men are deeply shitty and should be held accountable for their actions, that is separate to the fact women also need to be accountable and stop playing the passive bystander that can evade responsibility by saying ‘but a man made me…’

So many neglectful parents of both sexes around

Oh yes. Coriander is the grimmest thing ever.
Mushrooms are slimy yukky things hiding in all manner of dishes.
You do not sound cool or trendy saying "pacifically" instead of "specifically" (bloody teens).
The WLI is not cheating. It's nothing to do with anyone else if that's what works for someone.
chocolate and fruit are evil together.
TW are not women.

Think I'll get comfortable on that hill with you all.

Some wild takes on here.

My hill... Fat is not the enemy. Sugar is.

Just call them Dave/ Joan or whatever their name is

Ahhh, I've found my tribe. 😁

"Data" is plural.

If you don't start with a truthful assessment you can't make anything better.

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."

I agree.

Although I’ll allow lemon on fish.

Blood is definitely not thicker than water! My ds is adopted and therefore none of his relatives, me, dh, aunts, uncles etc are blood related. My best friend, who has always been there for him, is and always will be "Aunty Pam", she's done far more for him than his birth mother's sister who couldn't even be bothered keeping in touch via Adoption Mailbox.

Have to disagree.

My uncle recently passed, he was my uncle by marriage, he might not have been my blood but he had been a member of my family for a lot longer than me, he was both adopted and biological father to my cousins. As far as I am concerned I loved him just as much as I did my biological uncles, he was my family, my uncle.

Many places and cultures around the world use the term aunty and uncle as a sign of respect for elders both blood related and non blood related.

My best friend is referred to as Aunty by my children, she is far more present in my DCs lives than any blood aunties, it’s also a sign of respect in her culture and it never crossed my mind to refer to her as anything but Aunty with my children.

I like pineapple on pizza and I don't mind saying it.

Something or someone being described as 'very original'. There are no degrees to originality. It's either original or not.

Contraversial!!!!

How is it not a holiday? The UK is made up of so many different places and lots of historically interesting sites. Why is travelling to see them not considered a holiday?

Absolutely agree. I'm making bread right now.

And yes, if you can't tell the difference between men and women or, worse, will pretend that you can't for ideological reasons, you are fundamentally untrustworthy.

Notting Hill

Eating the remnants of a packet of crisps by tipping it up straight into your mouth in public means you should be slapped immediately.

If you mean, if dogs don't breed they'll die out, well obviously I'm aware of that. I just find it reprehensible when there are so many in shelters.
