Exactly this. To the letter.

Ah yes, hatred would be 'irrational' if I had said I hated it - but this is about things one "doesn't get" - thas all.


I don't get it like I don't get the whole superfoods argument (aren't we all still supposed to be eating some Gigi berry or other or drinking liquidised grass?) only got irritated when I first saw it written and got smug-smile-corrected in its pronunciation after asking in Peckham's H&B what kwinohwer was.


Rice I get.


Wheat I get (even when it's cracked).


Oats ditto and Barley and I have a long standing understanding.


But I think Quinoa can fuck off.

:D fair enough.

It was just something i'd never heard of in the lunches I got at work from the supermarket downstairs.

It tasted nice with lots of tabasco.


Turned out I'd be mispronouncing it for months in my head.


yeah, superfoods i don't get. It's not going to counteract the harm from crying into your pinot grigio every night!!

Strafer, you've lost me, what on earth are you on about?

    • Well he couldn’t deliver anything better than a poor brexit. Because no such thing exists 
    • Fair points jazzer. But it begs the question, on what information are people basing their opinion? because if it’s x or the right wing media the of course they will believe nothing has happened but people who claim to be motivated by rising immigration numbers are either ignorant of or don’t care the those numbers have dropped significantly since Labour got in Hospital waiting lists are finally showing improvements after years of getting worse people on minimum wage are better off We haven’t had a random general election or new prime minister just months after the last one  compare that to Tory chaos Important relations with other countries (important for long term trade and growth) have improved under labour given the size of the mess they inherited it’s far better than many give credit for  and the prospect of a Badenoch and/or farage govt returning us to the chaos of last 10 years? No thanks (I could do a long list of things Labour have done wrong or badly but that’s for another thread. I did not vote for Labour, but all things considered they are a massive improvement on what came before. Unfortunately we have a bunch of far right agitators kicking off around the country because they are cry babies which gives impression country is going downhill  when it’s really not)  
    • he's not on the general radar - not with the Labour tax scandal and the new Tories wanting to buddy up with Starmer (on their terms). if anything, he's a irrelevant distraction from some real alarms
    • Let me rephrase this He does not seem to be personally bothered by the impact he has.  Rather than immune from somebody taking action against him.  Although the bar had to be raised and raised before anyone did anything, and there are still those in his party who think it was wrong to get rid of him. He delivered a poor Brexit so didn't get that right.  He didn't believe in it, in the first place, he was just getting one up on his chum Dave.
