Today, “shylock” is considered an antisemitic slur and, after being called out by the Anti-Defamation League, Biden apologized for his “poor choice of words.” Time Magazine, September 17, 2014.

I am intrigued though, given your username, if you genuinely haven't been on here before, did you just join & then try to search out any references to Shakespeare to reply to? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thane of Cawdor Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Ha, no. I hadn't even made that connection I was just browsing through topics that I thought might be amusing. I saw your assertion that something was racist and thought I would be a bit arsey too. Pie and Bovril can be a semantic minefield so I will tread warily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have made an enemy for life with some posters & marshy would have stuck you on ignore which would have enriched his forum experience massively. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the small print says the vegan shite may have been cooked along with normal grub. That will go down well with the weirdos It is a very strange advert, not really selling it to vegans in my opinion. If I were vegan I'd be left with the worrying thought it might not actually be vegan after all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIFOREVER Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 That BoS ad with Susan Calman. We Scots...…...……...are something else. Yep, that pretty much sums up this advert, only not the way she intended it, doing my head in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were vegan I'd be left with the worrying thought it might not actually be vegan after all. I find veganism / vegetarianism odd, but if that lifestyle makes people happy then good for them. What I don't understand, is how their world seemingly ends if their food comes into contact with cooking oil or a chopping board that may also have come in to contact with meat. Does that really make a difference to you being a vegan or not? A lot of noise is made over restaurant chains not doing enough for vegans yet, when they try, they get grief from the same people about how they have inexplicably not redesigned their entire kitchen to satisfy them. As with my previous point, if you were as concerned about animal welfare as you proclaim, you would surely avoid such establishments out of principle anyway.

GordonD Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Just seen one for Febrize which could be taking the title of this thread literally. They claim that every time you flush your toilet, it flings odours onto your soft surfaces, which are released back into the air so you smell them later. So put the fucking toilet lid down! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wild tangent here, but I've never understood the men v women toilet seat up or down argument. Why doesn't everyone just close the whole thing when they are done? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
