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?

      18th Birthday Venue needed

      By eastdulwichavenger · Posted

      Its a few years ago now, but I organised my end of year prom (for year 13) at Off the Cuff in Herne Hill - was on the cheaper side to rent and at that age, felt very cool and clubby. I had my own 18th at Whirled Cinema in Loughborough Junction but I'm not sure if they take event bookings like that anymore

      ‘Welcome’ Donald Trump to Windsor when he arrives there tomorrow (Tuesday 16th September)

      By vladi · Posted

      You are right . It isn't going to change him for the better. Sending such a negative message is potentially counter-productive. Trump is narcissistic, arrogant, unpredictable, spiteful, divisive, and dishonest, with a penchant for a total a disregard for democratic norms.  He is one who bears a grudge so there's a case to be made for not offending him as he could react with a bunch of  adverse actions  such as  deciding to increase import tariffs on UK exports to the US.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
