As I don't know your wife, don't know why she is veggie. If it's for health reasons, can understand her desire to lapse.

If it's because she is an animal lover & finds it morally wrong, sorry but how can she even get the urge to try? The thought of eating meat makes me feel sick.


If she is doing it for the animals, but finding it hard, I commend her for sticking to her beliefs. She is wonderful x

Please do point me in that direction, I can't recall. So you are happy to consume milk products from sick cows and eat eggs from battery farmed chickens?


As before, I admire that you don't eat meat and avoid restaurants that serve foie gras.


But if you don't care where your eggs and dairy come from, that's hypocritical.


More than happy to be corrected.

So... given the capacity for possible lapses throughout one's life... the only TRUE Vegetarian... is a dead vegetarian?

My memory is obviously better than yours. Look back through your old posts.


As I said then, I don't drink milk or buy dairy products. I use dairy free alternatives for cooking & drink my tea/coffee black.


If I eat out, I have been known to eat cheese, only because there is rarely any veggie option on the menu that doesn't contain it. But as I only eat out approx once a year, irrelevant anyway.


As for eggs, even free-range are sometimes not as advertised. Happy eggs for example are not from happy hens. The eggs I buy are not only free range but also organic and from a trusted source.

I can't believe that you could even think that I'd buy battery eggs.

I always rely on you maxxi for making me smile :)

And yes I will be a dead vegetarian as never planning to eat meat again.

Your memory is better than mine, and my apologies for forgetting.


I know a few vegetarians who don't consciously buy battery eggs, but will for example eat egg mayonnaise sandwiches, omelettes, vegetarian breakfast with eggs, even mince pies; all which may have non-free range eggs.


And if you willingly eat dairy without knowing the provenance of the milk, despite being an ethical vegetarian, it's irrelevant whether it's once a year or once a day. You shouldn't do it!

With K*nts like Gordon Ramsay around you cant avoid meat even if you are a vegetarian all you can do is make a best effort to be a veggie. Apart fro my teenage years I've been a veggie all my life. Never eaten meat never had a bacon roll and apart from one mouthful of a maccy D - They gave me the wrong burger never had a maccy Donalds. It was tasteless by the way, How can you spot it is meat?

How exactly does Ramsay stop you being a veggie? Are you saying he pops around on occasion and shoves a pork sausage in your mouth? Treats you to a spit roast? Shows you how to enjoy a nice meat and two veg?

Do you care about how egg laying hens and dairy cows are looked after?

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
