So Huganit doesn't bother to 'jump through hoops' when he/she has dinner guests. Most of us try a little harder to cook well and use nice ingredients. I think I may have seen Hangonit on That C4 Dinner Party program was he the one with the rusty tins and frozen food?

Ain't serving fish or ain't serving them fish? It's an important subtlety.


Having grown up suffering vegetarian xmas imposed on the meat eaters (I was seventeen before I was finally able to substitute nut roast for some good old fashioned goose), I'll happily prepare a veggie some alternative, but never let them dictate what everyone else can eat.

I was only having a bit of fun :)


Although somewhere in this there is a point about there being a big difference between good manners to cater for your guest, and vegetarians having a sense of entitlement that you must cater to their whims.


As for the point about looking for the slightest infraction, I was actually remembering when I had guests who refused to eat food cooked in pots that had once had meat in them.


When referring to combing through the ingredient list, I was recalling guests who would go through the fine print on condiments to find ingredients that may possibly at some extreme stage removed may have been sniffed by a chicken.

No harm, no foul - I know Hughie would never suggest that I'm in any way spineless, out of the highest respect in which he holds me (or the fear of my kicking his poncey ass all over Singapore).


To be fair, these veggies have requested nothing of the kind, and they're certainly not evangelical. As far as I understand. First meeting you see - just trying to be nice. And while being nice, want to make something that I might actually want to eat!

Thats crazy - do they object to water out of the public water supply since it might have been recycled after boiling a lobster !

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
