Maybe I've been here too long?

Don't notice cinnamon on anything I consume.

The cinnamon buns are ok, its that ghastly cheesy stuff they plaster on the top of them that gets me :eek:

And I wish you'd make your mind up. Am I a cross-dresser or a gaymo?

Can we just be nice to each other please? No more horrible comments? If you don't like what I write then can you just not say anything at all?

Certainly we can. We could become bosom buddies.

1. The radio. I now live in a place where they play Heart and other eighties soft rock on the radio. And not on golden oldie shows - as a normal part of the playlist. Mind you, they also play some ACDC :thumbup:. I miss the live lounge and dermot on a saturday.

2. They don't show Still Game on the TV.

3. All pizza features meat in some form.

4. There's still snow on the ground in April.

putine is truly gross

inappropriate use of the "awesome"

It's better than the caller having to pay extra just because someone else has chosen to be contacted by mobile/cell phone.

The incessant droning of community helpers, unions, quangos, not-for-profit NGOs and special interest groups trying to get you to do something a particular way.

Imagine if the British Potato Council took themselves as seriously as the UN and had a marketing budget the size of a large cosmetics company and they used it. Then multiply.

Hearts are in the right place of course, but I get the feeling it's more about one-upmanship, and Eggs of course. Or farming. Or insurance brokers. Or etc etc etc.
