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!!

      Dancersize or other middle aged womens' exercise groups

      By NewWave · Posted

      I wanted to just add that my experience has shown me that fitness classes aimed at an older demographic are often nowhere near as good or as much fun as those aiming at all and sundry.. most classes I've been to NOT aiming at 'Middle aged' people have had such a mixed bag and everyone does what they can at their own pace and this is encouraged. Do give it a go.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By DGM-1986 · Posted

      Greens have some mad polices and I am still trying to work out if it is true that the leader of the party thought he could hypnotize women to have larger breasts 🤷‍♂️ country is in a real state at the min and all party’s have a part to play in that. what the future holds who knows but it is worrying.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Suggsy · Posted

      A stellar win for the Greens in Gorton and Denton, no doubt. But by-elections are funny beasts. Labour's strength traditionally has been in its ground game. Legions of canvassers over many years in many seats usually means that they are best placed to 'get out the vote' on election day. I can't quite believe that the Greens have enough data, or people, to wrest control of the council from Labour.
