WHY? Surely its the nature of the whole site that people care about trivia?
If no one did we wouldnt have anything to talk about!

Getting back to the subject.

I love a bit of trivia. The pink cheese is mine Grin

MistressMerryWeather · 02/01/2016 21:34

God no, no one ever send me messages. Sad

Honestly it's not like that. This thread was on active conversations.

It's just the second thread I have seen you telling PC, lemon sucking people to fuck off.

There was no underhandedness.

rosewithoutthorns · 02/01/2016 21:34

Can we stop being fucking rude cold.

Play nicely.

Coldlightofday · 02/01/2016 21:35

I DO like lemons.

But I don't think that's what lemon sucking means.

MistressMerryWeather · 02/01/2016 21:35

I think it's another way of saying cats bum face.

rosewithoutthorns · 02/01/2016 21:35

I may have had reason Merry, so lets not cross threads over.

Id rather a lime myself but its a matter of choice.

MistressMerryWeather · 02/01/2016 21:37

Fair enough!

rosewithoutthorns · 02/01/2016 21:37

Rose laughs

Pipbin · 02/01/2016 21:37

What trivial shit are we talking about?

All my neighbours are as dull as fuck, I like to live vicariously though MN.

MistressMerryWeather · 02/01/2016 21:38

Lemons give me a rash.

Coldlightofday · 02/01/2016 21:38

Lemons, limes whatever.

I can be flexible with my citrus choices.

MistressMerryWeather · 02/01/2016 21:41

My dad loves to tell anyone who will listen how grapefruit can kill him.

Honestly, mention citrus fruit and he turns morbid.

GastonsPomPomWrath · 02/01/2016 21:43

Death by grapefruit?

MistressMerryWeather · 02/01/2016 21:45

Indeed.

'Here lays FatherMerry. He mistook a fruit salad, poor sod'

MistressMerryWeather · 02/01/2016 21:46

Is it lays or lies?

I'm knackered.

MizK · 02/01/2016 21:49

I like vacuous trivial judgy minding-everyone-elses-business threads. I come on here for entertainment and am very much intrigued by the minutiae of the lives of people I will never meet. And I'm okay with that!

rosewithoutthorns · 02/01/2016 21:51

Think its lays or it could be lies, who the fuck knows.

Here's a random

Daffodil bulbs can kill, if peeled they look like onions. Now, there's a thought Grin

GastonsPomPomWrath · 02/01/2016 21:52

Well blow me down. Who knew a grapefruit could be so toxic.

rosewithoutthorns · 02/01/2016 21:52

Im a bit different then Miz. I see someone getting a pasting and want to protect and stand with her.

Coldlightofday · 02/01/2016 21:53

You can extract arsenic from apricot stones. You need fucking loads of them to get a vial full, but it's worth knowing...

rosewithoutthorns · 02/01/2016 21:53

I go with the person that gets set on every time.

knobblyknee · 02/01/2016 21:55

^^ Grapefruit pips are lethal to people taking a certain med. I cant remember which one.
