I think she's finally made peace with it now that @TheAuthority has helped us out with New York plans! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes 20 minutes, involves washing up at least 4 things and wastes my butter and milk for something just to bulk a meal out. It’s too much effort for a side dish, it’s never the main attraction. It’s a quid at the one stop which i can walk to in 4 minutes. It’s a quid. It tastes the same. Literally no different. I see you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The duty fell upon me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted October 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 16, 2018 BBC news currently has 'scientists create lab grown food-pipe' as a front-page headline. I know why they've done it - they couldn't fit oesophagus in the headline space, and they're concerned nobody is going to click on it if it says a long scientific boring word. But food-pipe sets my teeth on edge. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Most of the churnalists at the Beeb probably think an oesophagus is what pharaohs are buried in. They're mostly journalists in name only. I can't remember the last time I read anything written on that site that didn't read like it was written and edited by an intern, just generally dreadful articles all round. I think my annoyance with them began when I realised that they'd starting having 1 sentence per paragraph, so they didn't intimidate people who don't like their news to have lots of words. That, or when half of the articles became shit embedded from Twitter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
