Things you hate IV

We have pretty much that same same spag dish with garlic, chilli and olive oil plus lots of seasoning but add asparagus. Luverly with lots of parmesan.

 

Hijacking the thread even more, the Bosh vegan cookbook is great. I’m going to give the ultimate chilli a whirl on the weekend which gets rave reviews

 

House identification.

How much of an utter **** do you have to be to do either of the following..

1. Give your house a name and remove all numbering in the middle of a street with 200 other houses.
2. Put your house number up in roman numerals.

 

Your second point is acceptable if your house number is 1.

 

Spot on.

We know a couple how have named their perfectly nice but bland three bed on an 80’s era housing estate ‘Badger Cottage’.

Badger Cottage. For ****s sake, get a grip.

 

I particularly like house names that are made up from combining names of the owners. I remember from my childhood a couple called Amelia and Ronald that called their house "Amron".
Or people that give their end of terrace a grandiose name like "Montague House" like it's a stately home.

Oh, and Banksy. I don't get it. People going gaga over a stencil.

 

I totally agree with the "House Name" thing it can be a right in the arse if you are not familiar with the street you are looking for it in

 

I agree, but if the **** stencilled something on your house you would say no to £100k for someone to buy it from you?

 

Our house has a name rather than a number in a sea of other houses with only names.
Getting deliveries is a ****ing nightmare. Sat nav takes drivers to a pub about 1/4 mile away.

 

There are apps available to get drivers outside any house with any name. There is no excuse in 2021.

 

Have you gone entirely Vegan? If so have you felt any benefit?

 

Yes. I would paint over it. In magnolia.

 

That must constitute a prima facie case for immediate culling....Bovine TB and all that...

 

Well they live within spitting distance of the A1 so I’d imagine most badgers round their way get splatted anyway.

 

Certainly not totally vegan but not a million miles off. I did veganuary two years ago and then never went back to eating meat. I don’t buy any dairy, but I’m not strict with every ingredient in everything, milk and eggs are in a lot of things which I don’t worry about too much, but will go for vegan options where I can.

Hard to say if I feel different now, I’m definitely leaner and fitter from doing it, one of the reasons I did it was to have a more varied diet which I definitely now have. I used to eat so much chicken and then I’d always just have a steak if I ate out. Now I eat lots of different plant based things instead, rather than just falling back on default options.

 

Vegans

 

I would suggest vegans who lecture carnivores, but I think they all do.

 

Any running events I've done always has a group with a big "Vegan Runners" flag and matching running vests. Just f**k off you sanctimonious c**ts.

 

Thanks for that. As you said I doubt I couldn't go full vegan due to my love of pasta type meals. But since I've cut done massively on meat I definitely feel better with in myself.

 

Would never and could never be like that. My Dad was a butcher
But as people have written on here some dishes are absolutely amazing by simple removing the meat.

 

Roman numerals, eh? What are they good IV?

 

Camden, what a shytehole

 

Absolutely, but the street food is amazing.

 

Wasted on here

 

Could have waitied until mid day for your first beverage.

 

NEVER

 

Crap/opportunistic marketing like this, where to start:

Emailing asking you if you’d prefer not to hear about Mother’s Day, by asking you about Mother’s Day?

It’s a beer company, why would they be emailing about Mother’s Day anyway? How many mothers want a crate of beer for Mother’s Day?

Part of the thoughtful marketing campaign, really? I get the idea, but what is thoughtful about directly bringing something to your attention and then asking if you’d rather not be emailed about it?

Fwiw my mum is currently alive, it just seems like a ****** marketing tactic to me, rather than being thoughtful in the slightest.

 

I have to agree, apart from the canal, Camden Lock and some good restaurants I don't see the appeal and as I'm not a fan of markets there's little left to offer for me. It suffers from the problems that afflict many parts of London in that it's an ugly mishmash of conflicting architectural styles and businesses run by people who are more concerned about making money than maintaining tradition and heritage and forming part of a unified community. For attractive parts of London that have much more of an identity and sense of continuing tradition while still being modern and vibrant, see places like Crouch End, Highgate, Hampstead, Richmond, even Highbury in recent decades, or if you like semi-rural leafy suburbia in a similar vein to Bushey and Rickmansworth, Harrow, Mill Hill and Totteridge are great.

 

Harrow? It's an absolute sh*thole these days. I grew up in South Harrow then lived in Harrow for a while and when I go back I am truly shocked. The only part of Harrow that clings on to past glories is the hill.

 

The term Watfordy

 

Don’t know why it irritates me so much, but why have people started saying THAT in a sentence.

e.g. we talk to Deeney about THAT goal.

it pops up everywhere now and it really annoys me.

 

- THAT
- So....
- I can’t even
- Goals
- Throwback or ‘TBT’
- Casually
- Cheeky

Cheeky chat with @TroyDeeney about THAT goal #TBT

 

"Literally".
As in "He literally hit that shot miles over the bar"
Jamie Redknapp: "In his youth, Michael Owen was literally a greyhound."
Leona Lewis, on winning X-Factor ''I LITERALLY jumped out of my skin"

As opposed to the correct use of the word as in;
HB1 "Leicester fans would literally rather relegate Watford than qualify for the champions league"
