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

No woman should wear dungarees. They are strictly for toddlers,

Grown men should not wear hoodies and trainers unless they are exercising (or slobbing around at home).

There should be limits on personal wealth. No one needs over a billion.

I'd argue that £10 million is more than enough for anyone.

And don't try to suggest otherwise because you could spend it all on a not very impressive home in London or other high cost area. If you're stupid enough to use riches beyond most people's wildest dreams that way, more fool you. Anyone with half a brain could use that amount of money to set themselves, their family and descendants up very comfortably forever more.

What would you call them if not "aunt" and "uncle" though?

DD calls DH's sister's husband "Uncle ". Should she be calling him "Auntie 's husband" instead?

I just called my aunts and uncles by their first names - none of this 'auntie' business.

Not taking your shoes off when you lie down on the sofa or bed - nope. You should be in jail.

Pregnant women should not wear dungarees.

Noooo!!

I love pregnant women in dungarees.
I bought my sister a pair as soon as she got pregnant.

The only reason that I’d ever want to get pregnant again is so that I can buy a pair of dungarees!
(I forgot about them when I was pregnant so didn’t get the chance to).

The Olympic downhill run or ski jump. That would be a hill I'd definitely die on.

Mine - amongst others - is that mint and chocolate do not belong together, it is absolutely vile, and is has 100% the same effect as when we were kids, brushed our teeth and then snuck a cheeky bite of a chocolate in, still.

No!! Mint areo!!

Agree /and ‘auntie’ is cringey.

Joining others on the women's rights Hill first and foremost.

Porridge is a gloopy slop of an abomination and should not be eaten by humans. Ever.

I love the taste of porridge but I can't go anywhere for about 5 hours after I've eaten it as it makes me crap. Not a big one lots of smaller craps that come on over about 5 hours. No pain, no cramping, no wind. No other food does this and I can eat oats in other ways. Porridge likes to torture me.

What!!

What do you think of women who wear them then?!

I love a hoodie and trainers.

There are so many things I disagree with on here! 😁😁

Anyone over the age of three that is not going to a bonfire should ever wear dungarees

:(

Taytoface · 19/02/2026 16:12

French manicures on toes are an abomination, makes you look like you are stood on a tiny person with just their fingers sticking out

Rainbowdottie · 19/02/2026 16:12

God I don’t know where to start…

Box dye is as good as a hairdresser ( I’m currently in my hairdresser phase but I have long periods on either)

Celebrities don’t actually give their kids stupid names like “Apple”…they have a “real name “ but a stupid one like “Apple” will make you google them under that name

Food shopping prices could be a lot lower because if you can buy it at a lower price by carrying a bit of plastic in your purse, they can obviously afford to sell it at that lower price

No one has ever been to the Moon

Theme parks don’t actually need to be THAT expensive nor do spectacles 🤓

My hair doesn’t need to be cut every 6 weeks for maintenance

HRH Princess Kate wears (very good) hair extensions

The Queen Consort Camilla needs to invest in better uplifting bras

well I could just go on and on and on…

amoosebouche · 19/02/2026 16:12

@LancashireButterPie could not agree more. It's insane.

exhaustDAD · 19/02/2026 16:13

Lip fillers never look good or attractive. They are always hilarious at best, absolutely comical/scary most of the time.

I'm not as offended by women wearing them - something particularly irksome about grown man-babies in hoodies.

Silverbirchleaf · 19/02/2026 16:13

It’s ’Macaroni Cheese’ not ‘Mac And Cheese’ or ‘ Mac + Cheese’.

(now to go back and read thread)

Seriously? It's the beige cardigan of curries. It’s what happens when someone looks at a menu full of bold, fragrant, fire-breathing masterpieces and thinks, “No thank you, I’d prefer my dinner to taste like warm seasoned yogurt.” It’s a curry that needs to apologise for even occupying the same menu page as proper curries. No heat, no edge, no personality, just a timid, creamy squeaky whisper of “I was almost interesting once.”
Korma is what you order when you’re afraid of flavor. It takes chicken, already the most commitment phobic of proteins and drowns it in a sweet, nutty lullaby that lulls your taste buds into early retirement. Every spoonful feels like culinary bubble wrap, safe, padded, and utterly pointless. In a world of jalfrazis, baltis, rogan josh's, madras, bhuna or vindaloos that challenge you korma sits there like a participation trophy in a bowl. Gaaaaaaaaaaaahh.

Please tell me you are a food writer for a living, this critique of the korma is outstanding 👏

What is acceptable to wear for men for school runs, grocery shopping, etc? Always suit and tie, I presume? I would rather never go anywhere outside anymore.

Taytoface · 19/02/2026 16:14

Also. Pugs and French bulldogs are shit dogs. And Chihuahuas.

Christmas cake must have cheese with it Smile

However pepperoni on pizza is an abomination as are cheeseburgers or anything else that involves meat and melted cheese.

But only Wensleydale or Lancashire

NomNomNominativeDeterminism · 19/02/2026 16:15

I’m here to eat all the delicious food. Leave it at the foot of the hill when you go, please.

So many options besides suits and hoodies...
