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.

      ED Forum Drinks - anyone interested?

      What Firkins were they? The only localish ones I remember were the Phoenix and Firkin and the Fox and Firkin. The Plough has changed its name several times, and then back to the Plough, but to the best of my recollection the Uplands Tavern was named that until it became The Actress, and The Bishop was called something else whose name escapes me (though the smell from the gents lingers in my memory) but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Firkin?

      These statements were in the Consultation Findings report published (later than promised) just before the licence was granted:  "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the delivery of the council’s Events service, which supports the delivery of up to 100 free-to-attend community events per year – please refer to section 1 (Licensing and income)" I've drafted an email to request some more details of these "free-to-attend" events, as "up to" is a fairly meaningless description - could be 100, could be none? - and therefore doesn't help anyone to decide whether it is actually a benefit to the community or not. Even if it is 100, I'm not sure I could name even one of them? "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the provision of a grants fund – the Cultural Celebrations programme - please refer to section 1 (Licensing and income)" A similarly meaningless statement in terms of gauging whether, or how much, this is a benefit to the local community. What is it, what does it do, how much of the fee goes to it? And how can the fee go "directly" to two different things? Surely, "directly" means without deviation, straight to, without being changed or reduced?? Again, I'll be asking all these questions to the events dept. I find it outrageous & insulting that a public body can try to justify such an intrusive & disruptive event with such flimsy and opaque "benefits", with zero figures or details to quantify them. They may as well not bother with a consultation, just say "Look, we can't be arsed to justify our decision, it's happening so just deal with it".
