bickster Posted February 10, 2020 Moderator Share Posted February 10, 2020 Anyway, this wind is definitely pissing me off now. Our house is covered in scaffolding and is basically located opposite the Irish Sea with not much in the way to block the wind. The noise out of the scaffolding boards lifting up is getting on my wick now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of dentists don't eat fruit or brush their teeth straight after. You said you don't get why people don't like fruit (as a whole group), lots of people don't like sweet things, others avoid food that rots their teeth, there's a whole host of reasons On another tangent, cleaning your teeth and then eating some fruit or drinking juice. Awful taste. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know one of those things that seems utterly stupid to most people, but you've managed to miss it your whole life. The other night I asked her to chuck me an orange. We haven't had them in the house for a while. She did, but asked "how are you going to eat it?" I was confused. "What do you mean?" "How are you going to eat that?!" "What do you mean 'how am I going to eat it?'? How everybody would eat an orange!" "Don't you need a knife?" "Eh? I'm just going to peel it an eat it" "With what?" "Huh? With my hands" "but you can't" "Why?" "You can't peel that orange?" "What are you talking about?!" This went on for longer than I'd like to admit. Turns outshe didn't think you could peel big oranges. Only the small ones like satsumas were peelable. She thought big oranges you had to cut into segments (like half time oranges) and that they weren't naturally segmented like the smaller ones. I remain utterly dumbfounded by this Women. The endless mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was the obvious cum / kum juvenile joke to be had, but I didn’t really have an endpoint in mind. I think I was trying to create a distraction for a couple of others to lose interest in a rolling squabble. I thought it was because kumquats aren't sweet.

mjmooney Posted February 11, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) I don't like fruit. Nothing to do with sweetness or sugar. I love that shit. Cakes, biscuits, chocolate, honey, maple syrup - bring it on. It more to do with acidity, texture and the general messing about with skin, stalks, pips, stones, pith, etc. And the sticky effect on your hands. The actual flavours are mostly OK (with some exceptions - don't like rapberries at all, for example). I drink bottled orange juice (smooth, no bits).
