I cant touch sticky or greasy food with my fingers & the thought of any food touching my palms makes me shudder. Cooking is a nightmare i have to have a tap running & have a roll of kitchen towel at the ready. As a baby apparently i wouldnt eat anything with my hands. I lived in the middle east for a number of years, this did cause some problems at meal times.

For years as a kid any route I took when out and about with my chums had to be 're-traced' when I was on my way home, to kind of 'undo' the pattern I'd created. This meant I often returned home extremely late, and extremely tired, especially if we'd cycled say through the woods, onto the next town etc. My mates got used to me insisting on going home 'the way we came' and often some of them came along to see if I really did cover the entire route back, and I'm talking going the 'correct' way back around a lamp post, through the same park gate, even between the same trees in the woods which meant I ended up with extreme observational skills.

Glad I shook that one off.

Salsaboy, do you have particular socks for left foot and right foot? I know someone who has left and right socks, like shoes. I don't know how she knows.


However, since it's not fair to mention that without sharing my own weirdness, I will add that I cannot bear liquid spills on tables. You'll see me surreptitiously wiping up other people's splashes on pub tables and trying to put beer mats under everyone's glasses.

The special system where you have to take all the spoons out so it doesn't splash back when you're taking a leak?

I have special colour socks which I wear to meetings.


I was in court the other day, all very serious ( and pale blue calmness on my feet )


Once sorted I had my "I'm outta here" red socks ready in my brief case


( I had surreptitiously stroked these as a good omen when presenting my final documents to m'lud )


It was a good day indeed.


Oh and on occasions I wear them Port-n-Starboard ( red-left/green-right )

No


But I do think "Who will I eat" if we crash deep in the Andes.


What a dilemma eh Thomas.

I once flew from Mendoza in Argentina to Santiago in Chile.

Imagine my chagrin when it turned out the Chilean U21 rugby team were on board fresh from the U21 World Cup in Argentina.

La Piba had to practically restrain me to keep me on board!!!

Easily the most anxious 20 minutes of my entire life (its a very short flight)!

    • Really like this place. Good food, reasonable price and super friendly
    • Excuse me? Are you the forum police or just a nosy parker? For your information me and my kids were almost hit by a crazy black boy heading that way on a bike that day so I wondered if it was the same youth. It was upsetting, we could have been seriously hurt. In future wind in your neck before judging people. As I said when you stuck your nose in with unfounded implication and suspicion before, mixed race woman posting here and I bet £100 you are a bourgeois native Brit who obsessively sees race in everything at the expence of practicality (being able to identify potential criminals by describing their physical appearance). If your socialist utopia isn't going to plan don't blame the messenger.

    • No, he was utterly un-electable. Any sensible, non-Momentum, Labour member knew this. Corbyn likes to blame the press but that is the far-left modus operandi - find someone else to blame when the problem lies at your doorstep. I know someone who was on his team and they convinced themselves that they had won on the basis of social media. He was a disaster for the party and only Covid and the incompetence of the Tories allowed Labour to recover. Corbyn was on Newsnight last night clearly putting himself back on the circuit in the hope of a Starmer downfall.  This is why Labour HQ does not want McAsh leading the council - they are trying to purge the party of the far-left due to the damage they have done to it and I believe any swing to a more far-left leadership in Labour HQ would be an unmitigated disaster and just be rolling out the red-carpet for Farage. But the far-left won't care they see another opportunity to take over after they fumbled the ball massively in 2019.
