To ask for your hill you will die on? LIGHTHEARTED

[SheliaHammondDiet]

As per the meme ‘I will die on this hill’ what are your lighthearted hills you’re willing to die on?

Mine:

Phoebe Buffay is the worst friends character. She is not kooky, she’s mean, selfish and always looking for ways to put the other friends down. Everyone is too busy hating Ross to realise Phoebe is a cock. I will die on this hill.

Ringtons tea my arse - you've made that up!

It's even delivered to the front door by a lovely man in a Ringtons van who has a wicker basket full of teabags, coffee, and biscuits.

Although I cheat a but and get it for free from BIL because he works for them.

then you have never been on the oyster fields of western france and ate oyster fot breakfast, lunch and dinner. Even the bar in our "Pension" had it's Opening times according to the Tide. When the Tide was out - oyster farmers working : when the Tide came in, oyster farmers in too to the bar, they were finished with their for the day

@MitziK I have come out of years of lurking to agree with you. I eat bread SO THAT I can eat butter.

Margarine is the devil. I will die with you on this hill. Just as long as we we have toasted sourdough and proper crackers.

@ponoja7 I'm sure you meant English historical dramas, and certain characters. Non-Anglo people were here you know, for centuries. Not because they wanted to have a nice holiday, but because they were brought here. Also we are now dying at a faster rate, at the same time servicing your NHS, so maybe chill with the intolerance about us spoiling your historical dramas.

Danyerys Targaryen was always a psychopath, right from the start when she looked on calmly as her own brother was horrifically murdered before her eyes. She then went on to smother her own husband to death when she realised he was basically a vegetable. She calmly ordered 178 men to be crucified on the road to Mereen. The moment anyone stops being useful to her she ditches them without a backward glance (and often has them killed). Danyaerys forces one of her handmaidens (who has been sexually abused since childhood and forced to work as a bed slave) to sexually gratify her whenever she's in the mood (how twisted is that).

Danyaerys is a monster. Sansa is the true heroine of Game of Thrones. I will die on this hill until the day I die.

Janeway could easily fight Picard for best Captain spot.

Pft. She was an absolute shambles. They'd have gotten home in a quarter of the time with Chaoktay (apologies for spelling) in charge.

Thanks @TheRattleBag not heard of those but will travel for decent growler

Post lockdown of course.

Although pork pies are an essential, there's a shop up the road from me which sells warn ones for breakfast and there's always people leaving whilst clutching full brown paper bags.

No they don’t @BrooHaHa. Our estate has dozens of cats. We see 4 or 5 of them just around our house regularly. We’ve just had to call the factors in to sort out a rat problem.

They don't kill all rodents. Rats are bloody big and cats usually go for smaller prey. They're pretty effective with mice though. Ours kills anything that moves. Including the great big spiders that stroll across the living room floor in the depths of winter.

@ToPlanZ

Percy Turner's shop is in Jump, a village a few miles from Barnsley (the Yorkshire one). Hope you're not in Penzance!

Janeway could easily fight Picard for best Captain spot.

Janeway was reckless and a liability as a captain.

@TheRattleBag

No firmly ensconced in Yorkshire, will be a good excuse for a trip out once normality returns!

If Keir Starmer wore a nice pair of glasses, he would be quite handsome.

Mine is David Walliams cannot write

My whole family is that that hill with you.

PAFF BLART FLUMP SPLAT.

Fuck off. That's not writing and you aren't Roald Dahl.

Is there room on the DW-cannot-write hill?

We'll have to budge up but yes.

Other hills I have are... mostly sci-fi related.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was massively underrated.

Stargate Universe should not have been cancelled.

Cats are just as capable of feeling affection for humans as dogs.

Posh crisps are over priced and overrated. Thai green curry/balsamic vinegar and red onion/sweet chilli type flavours have no need to be anywhere near a deep fried potato.

Deep fried potato slices should taste of potato and salt, and this can be achieved by a supermarket budget brand for a fraction of the price.

Make some more space on the David Walliams hill. I always think his books seem so outdated too. Like they're stuck in 1983.

I don’t like DW books either. He wants to be Roald Dahl but just comes across as a class bully. And misogynistic.

I will die on this hill until the day I die

I agree with your post but this line killed me 😂

@IgiveupallthenamesIwantedareg0 Get off that hill. He has the lyrics wrong.

It's 'I found my thrill (do-dodo-dododo-do) on Blueberry Hill'.

If you only consume 1000 calories a day you will lose weight, regardless, so just stop with all the slow metabolism, heavy bones, it's genetic, nonsense. Eat 1000 calories a day and watch the weight drop off.

You cannot change sex. And, for what it's worth I'm very ambivalent that you can genuinely change gender. I swear if I have to listen to Sam Smith witter on, one more time, about what it's like 'to be a woman' then I will likely hunt him down and kill him.

And, the past tense of texting is texted not 'text'. Saying 'I text her' makes you sound like an imbecile.

Mirrored furniture is an abomination of the highest order. It's bad enough having to dust normal furniture, so why would you make it out of the most high maintenance surface known to man???

All wine tastes like piss and champagne is vile.

It is university not 'uni' FFS. If you say 'uni' infront of me, rest assured I am secretly envisaging you being ripped apart by wild dogs.

I hate all long polished nails, gels, shellac, whatever else. They remind me of talons. Nail polish is ok at a push but only on short nails. Generally though, nails should be clipped and obviously clean, with no other adornment.

If you only consume 1000 calories a day you will lose weight, regardless, so just stop with all the slow metabolism, heavy bones, it's genetic, nonsense. Eat 1000 calories a day and watch the weight drop off.

1000 is excessive, you only need a deficit of around 300-500 calories a day in order to lose weight and you should not have less than 1200 a day or it can affect your health. I went through a really rough time a few years ago and food was one of the few things I could control so that exactly what I did. A good day was 1000 calories until I ended up in A&E with heart palpitations caused by it and they told me that if I kept going I was ultimately risking permanent damage to my heart, a heart attack, or even heart failure. I also ended up with gallstones caused by rapid weight loss even though I was not overweight to begin with and certainly wasn't by that point, I was losing my hair and my vitamin D and iron were both very low which brought their own set of problems.

A very low calorie diet such as 1000 calories a day should only ever be followed on medical advice and under medical supervision and it should only be used for a maximum of 12 weeks.

Telling people to simply drop to 1000 calories a day and watch the weight drop off is, frankly, stupidly dangerous advice.

I'm sure you had no malicious intent but I'm climbing down off my cat hill and this is the hill I will die on.

I don't think the previous poster was advocating only eating 1000 calories a day, but rather suggesting that for the cast majority of people, weight gain/loss really is as simple as calories in/calories out. Which I agree with.
