People ho do not spay their kitties. SPAY/NEUTURE YOUR KITTIES!!!!!!... what is wrong with you.

[BECKENHAM CENTRAL]

People who wear their trousers half way down their a*se showing their Kalvin Cleen undercrackers.

People who play really loud bass music in their cars so you can actually feel it's vibrations. Infact, scrub that, really loud music in general.

People who don't thank you for opening a door for them or some other random act of kindness.

God, I'm getting old.

[Moos]

No ouch was intended! sorry Keef - was just thinking generally about the types of photos people put on FB.

(agree about baby profiles too though)

"People who wear their trousers half way down their a*se showing their Kalvin Cleen undercrackers."

I second that emotion. Long, long, ago - when this was still the new thing - a young lad passed me on an escalator displaying a long brown skiddy. Never caught on..

I've had over 5 hours of windy-grindy music thumping through my walls today - so I'm not feeling friendly about loud music either.

People who say "yourself" when they mean YOU.

Any pedestrian who walks across the road without looking as you ride a motorbike round the corner at 2mph (which is not easy)and looks all @rsey at you when you shout at them.

Neurotic parents who say "Do you actually have children?" in a way that makes it plain that they feel morally and intellectually superior. I want to reply:- "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realise that the mere ability to spawn progeny gave one the ability to have greater insight than anyone else. And thank you for asking, yes I do have a child who is now 20 and at University and hopefully won't be a pompous tw@t like you when he makes me a grandfather."

As my other half often wants to say but good manner prevent her when someone points out that she didn't have children, inferring it is some sort of failing. "No, I decided to study at University for 5 years rather than lie on my back for 5 minutes"

Sorry, me being paranoid.

I guess you could argue that putting any photos on facebook is asking for attention. There is just something about the scans that bugs me. Just feel it is more a private thing, that you show people when you see them.

Anyway, doesn't really matter.

Aubergines. Look so beautiful, taste so disgusting.

[Brendan]

Have you tried absolutely drowning them in olive oil before you cook them?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

They are food of the Devil - I keep being drawn back to them but nothing makes them palatable.

[Brendan]

Have you tried not eating for 2 days before hand, then getting drunk?

It may work.

[randombloke]

Isn't Aubergine a little like Samuel Johnson's quotation about cucumbers?

"A cucumber should be well sliced, and dressed with pepper and vinegar, and then thrown out, as good for nothing?

Add to the list tofu. "what is this?", "it's bean curd". "I know what it's been, but Wwhat IS it?"

[Huguenot]

Sweetcorn. Despicable. The food of the very Devil himself.

[daizie]

especially caught under ones foreskin apparently

[HAL9000]

Sweetcorn = Chinese crabmeat or shredded chicken and creamed-corn egg-drop soup = delicious.

Aubergine = Greek mousaka = delicious.

Cucumber = English cucumber and sardine sandwiches = delicious.

Tofu = yuk!

Well...

Mrs Beaton said something like "After the age of 40 cucumber gives you up " & I'm inclined to agree

Though regarding Aubergine, you're plain wrong or maybe just ignorant

It, when treated right is a delight,learn to cook & not just heat things up I'd say

Preparation is where the art lies, good kind hands & the ingredients won't misbehave

Samuel Johnson indeed, he'd be turning in his grave

W**F

Have you been dating the Naked Chef by any chance?

[The Minkey]

Aubergine, sliced thinly and cooked on a lightly oiled griddle, is a tasty addition to a salad.

[The Minkey]

I've been wondering how a piece of sweetcorn could possibly end up under someone's foreskin..

Post removal of it possibly?

[Huguenot]

Oh Minkey. You don't ask some questions because you don't want to hear the answer. :'(

Bear in mind that amongst its many faults, sweetcorn is also difficult to digest.

[The Minkey]

"Oh Minkey. You don't ask some questions because you don't want to hear the answer."

You might not, but I do ;-)

Being interviewed by a HR person who is half your age and less than half of your experience, reading pre prepared questions and busily writing notes.
