If you want to have shredded courgette just say you are having bolognese with shredded courgette, don't pretend its spaghetti because anyone knows it clearly isn't the same thing at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I'd go with that. Only remember those from WW2, Its the only war where we really had no choice. Indeed. Those that died in the two world wars and even in Aden,Malaysia, and the like had little choice in the matter. Since 1960(?) All services have been manned by volunteers. Totally different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably easier to get kids to eat it if you kid on it's something they don't hate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DI Bruce Robertson Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Probably easier to get kids to eat it if you kid on it's something they don't hate. If they eat it, ergo they don't hate it?Therefore, tell them it's shredded courgette and make them sit at the table (overnight if necessary) until their plate is clean.Anyway, I'm off for some deconstructed burgers & fluffy clouds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The combination of heat, no longer being the young slim lad I once was, and having to walk uphill to get home resulting in me looking like I've had a shower when I get in the door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough.. Maybe I took that too extremes. I have no interest in remembering people who took a wage to go and fight a war in Afghanistan etc. That's what I was mostly getting at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 At a time when there are people actively trying to break up European cooperation with right wing populism, I think it's worth reminding people of the horrors of the past every so often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) I went to Lush to buy a gift for a friend earlier. One of their windows is dedicated to opposing the possible repeal of the fox hunting act(s) and included the execrable and antithetical, "foxit means foxit". Someone in their marketing team needs a swift boot in the pie. I went to Body Shop instead. Edited May 25, 2017 by The_Kincardine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeefc1783 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Tesco the money grabbing b*****ds attempting to phase out 5p bags. When I go to Tesco I have no issue paying for the 5p bags as I know the money is going to charity but I hazard a guess that it's not the case with the 10p bags for life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernJambo Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The playoff being over two legs. "No team has won the quarter, semi and final of the playoffs to win promotion, united to could make history tonight". Well no really, they can't go up tonight. They could make history on Sunday once the second leg is complete. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
