Have you been diagnosed with anything specific? Not been tested tbh , a month or so after it happened the first time , I gave it another go as I was sure it can’t have been the veg .. but same outcome maybe Mrs H is trying to poison me and it’s not the veg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So wierd. On the subject of Red meat, it gets a tough rap but its not really that bad for you if you get the right type of red meat. Like grass fed or organic burgers. The stuff thats no good is processed red meat like bacon, sausages etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw people refer to him walking off stage but Sky News think not according to the live bit from their correspondent in Washington not too long ago. Hopefully they are wrong and he did indeed walk off stage - details are still very sketchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhows , I'm sure people know which side of the debate I'm on ... but I agree there are some benefits to being vegetarians, but with diet there is no one size fits all option ... the benefits for you might be enormous , but for me the benefits of being a meat eater are enormous , (not least because on the occasions when I've increased my vegetable levels I've invariably ended up on a drip in hospital !! ) Any diet can be bad. You can eat an incredibly healthy diet that includes meat and dairy. You can eat an incredibly unhealthy diet that doesn’t include any meat or dairy. But in general, a vegetarian diet would have benefits over a meat eating diet. Anyway this is the wrong thread for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another attack on freedom of speech by a follower that peaceful religion that must not be named It’s another attack by a cultural conservative who will not tolerate progressive speech which threatens their worldview. The particular flavour of religion or political party they claim to follow is fairly interchangeable these days. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another attack on freedom of speech by a follower that peaceful religion that must not be named Unfortunately people get murdered in the name of pretty much every religion. “Buddhists” have massacred Muslims in Myanmar. “Hindu” extremism is on the rise in India. Most shootings in the US are by “Christians”. The problem is violent extremism. We shouldn’t be afraid to condemn Islamist violence, but we shouldn’t be naive enough to think that it is unique to Islam. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekka Posted August 12, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2022 Bugger. Poor bloke. Salman Rushdie's agent has said "the news is not good" after the author was stabbed at an event in New York state. He was attacked on stage, and is now on a ventilator and unable to speak, Andrew Wylie said in a statement, adding that the author will lose one eye. "Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged," his agent, Andrew Wylie said.

sidcow Posted August 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2022 I'm beginning to think those noses have a point about us. My usual burger van at Villa Park has started using brioche buns I frippin hate brioche buns, why the **** would a greasy spoon burger van start using brioche buns? And why the **** are nasty brioche buns considered posh? I don't get it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
