A hill you will die on.

[GreenEyesIsBack]

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

And to expand … pepperoni are bell peppers not salame (yes with e not an i).

No one is two words and your autocorrect will literally fix it so how do you keep typing noone?????

Middle lane drivers on the motorway should be put in the stocks.

Flight is not a superpower. A superpower is something you can already do, to a “super” level, like x ray vision or extra sensitive hearing. Humans can’t fly so flight is not a superpower. This is regular argument in our house.

I'll throw in another one - I am sorry, after a certain age, you should get tested to see if your eyes/reflexes/mind are fit enough for driving. Sorry/not sorry - endangering others is a bit more important than your pride or ego. (And yes, after a certain age, it would apply to me, too, equally)

Husband and wife aren’t used in place of names though are they? They’re used to describe a relationship (“this is my husband, John”, just like you’d say “this is my neighbour, John” or “this is my colleague, John”), but not when talking directly to someone (“husband, would you like a cup of tea?”).

But how do you introduce your spouse to others then? "This is Nigel, he's my... Nigel" 🤣

🙄

My other one is that gaming is good for you.

It has so many proven benefits and surgeons and pilots etc are encouraged to play computer games but somehow it is seen as something so negative amongst so many people.

Obviously everything in moderation.

Correct on all counts.

Why??

Also many women aged between 16 and 40 ish died in childbirth.

Men died in factory/mining accidents at around the same age.

So we could have three people aged 3 YO, 29 YO and 87 YO at death and voila, average life expectancy of 40.

??

Are you saying that there is an age limit - you were the one who said no matter what age, so I assume you meant from birth, if not where is your cut off?

People who don't like cats have yet to have one in their lives and be zapped by their secret magical rays that control our minds and hearts from that point on, until they dominate the world.

Yep. No such thing as gender. Only sex. Gender is a made up construct to manipulate us that women can have penis’s

BBQ's.

Burnt on the outside, quite likely still raw on the inside
Running in and out of the house with plates, sauces, cutlery and whatever else stuff the table needs to constitute the outdoor experience
Creating more washing up in 60 minutes than the whole of Christmas and every Sunday roast combined
Flies and wasps twatting around
All the diners gushing over what a fantastic job the chef did. He stood there for all of 30 minutes cooking, while the rest of the food miraculously prepped itself during the 3 hours prior, and cleared itself up for 3 hours afterwards......

Need I go on? And all this has achieved is to wind me up, and it's only February 😂

Interesting. What if your ability to fly was powered by something like ability to wave your arms like wings - we can all wave our arms, they have a superpower that makes their arm waving result in flight.

The only possible way I can eat Christmas cake is with a slice of Wensleydale atop of it

The only kind of coffee is HOT coffee and preferably none of this skinny latte mocha overfilled with semi skimmed whipped cream shit ;)

Oh and eating ice cream in the freezing cold is a felony.

From the Oxford English Dictionary definition of "uncle":

the brother of one's father or mother, or the husband or male partner of one's aunt or uncle.

Don't die on your hill; you'll be dead and wrong.

When you introduce someone their name should always come first.

John my husband NOT my husband John

Mine is that if you employ me as an expert in my field, you are supposed to listen to my expert opinion. That is what you are paying me for.

Disregard my advice at your peril. I've warned you that the opening balances on the new finance system implementation & data transfer will be fucked up unless you do X. If you don't want to do X then fine, but sure as eggs is eggs, it won't be me who has to sort out the shambles. Because I've had enough and I'm leaving. 😎

Dogs should not sleep in bedrooms (or worse on the bed - worst IN the bed 🤮🤮🤮🤮)
Revolting.

That you can’t do something 110%. 100% is the full amount.

And that parents have much more influence over a child’s development and progress than school ever can.

And that you can’t be ‘a bit’ autistic, ADHD etc. I know there’s a spectrum. But you either are or you are not. It’s how it impacts you that varies.

Another one for my hill, if you’re a bit cautious about something you are wary not weary. I see that so many times on here.

You can’t slap hummus or falafel on a dish and call it Moroccan! In fact neither of them is Moroccan food!

The dictionary can bog off, whether it’s from Oxford or not!
