Threads that you never quite had the bottle to start..


Recommended Posts

Possibly a combination of all three, or maybe it's just the bragging about said food that grates the most? I always remember someone on here boasting about have a posh omelette for tea (fratata I think it's called). Why not just say, I had a nice omelette for dinner? OR just not say anything at all.

Yes but the difference is rd I don't specify which wine I'm drinking with the intention of making people jealous. Sometimes it's lambrini, some blue nun, it might even be a sainsburys basic Pinot Grigio. It's not like I'm coming on here giving a specific year, grape variety etc on average I pay less than a fiver for most wine I drink. I take your point though. Wouldn't you agree though, there's something really annoying about people talking about fratata's? It's almost on a par with pizza for me.

How do you propose we research this?


And by "orgasm free", are we including solo efforts or sticking to bunk ups with partners?



I don't actually believe for a second that you have ever lacked the bottle to start anything!

We had this thread back in the "Tony london suburbs" days. I was stupid enough to actually take part in that painful conversation.

Fratata sounds like a Welsh/Irish/Scottish colloquialism for Fried Potato.

Exactly *Bob*. I don't mind the natives referring to their grub in the native tongue, but when poncy Brits start talking about 'ya I came home and it was too late for waitrose ya so I knocked up a fratata in the kitchen snort snort'. Makes me feel nauseous.

I agree there can be a lot of unnecessary 'oneupmanship' in some threads, can't remember the fratata thread, but one that springs to mind was someone asking for ideas for a honeymoon destination, wasn't long before we got something like white water rafting down the Amazon. Can't remember if I posted ''a wet weekend in Skeggy did it for me'' but I will next time...

This is a much higher standard than of late - KUTGW

That only proves that the bloke has "gotten there" once in 9 months. Says nothing about the women, other than perhaps they were hopeful 9 months ago...

Honestly Otta, I do struggle to appreciate the number of brats these people have. And it's always that whole ignorant "I let my child do what they want because telling them off is bad karma" or some bollocks like that. You're in a pub/cafe/shop with numerous screaming kids getting in the way of people, annoying them, and is there an apology? Is there bollocks! Control you bloody child you wanted to procreate learn how to teach them to be seen and not heard!


It's not all middle class women miga, but they are disproportionately represented in the category of annoying people. On the fratata topic, anyone be they male, female or yet to decide is also included.

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
    • Do you mean that there are only very few trades people and that all of their thousands of happy customers post glowing reviews but most of them have only ever posted once to recommend said trade person on the trade person's own thread?   If so, I agree it's mysterious.
