Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you're lucky.

  • Oh, I get this.

    My wife quite likes pasta with just some basil pesto stirred through it. Pasta from a packet and pesto from a jar. I once hand-made some pasta and made pesto from scratch. Her reaction: "It's ok, but I prefer the normal version." She generally prefers meals from her childhood to be the simple nostalgia version rather than my "zhuzhed up" version. Which makes sense, I suppose.

  • How would you propose we actually combat climate change?

  • CO2 seems to be the main problem, so why don't we just burn it. Powerstations powered by burning CO2 would be good for the atmosphere while providing heat and power for communities. And CO2 is abundant so it should be cheap, too!

  • You get an unlimited supply of a single item to survive post-apocalypse. What are you choosing, and why?

  • Just make sure you know which order to put your jam and clotted cream (or clotted cream and jam) on your scone before you come!

  • Scone should be pronounced scone and not scone.

    In some parts of the country, it's pronounced to rhyme with cone, and in other parts it's pronounced to rhyme with gone. That would be simple but there is another orthogonal dimension which is a demographic one (usually self-perceived class) which also influences the pronunciation.

    It is, consequently, almost impossible to guess how any given person you meet might pronounce the word. And it is also something which, while seeming incredibly trivial, people here feel very strongly about.

    I, of course, pronounce it correctly: scone.

  • I’m from a different generation, I guess. I just don’t find the bolt-on titties and filler duck-pout look at all attractive.

    Edit to add: I don’t find the Bentley Bentayga at all attractive either.

  • Learned them about age 6, up to 12x12. Still know them, and takes a lot less than 1-2 seconds to call them to mind.

    Except 7x6 and 8x6 which, for some reason, I've never been able to learn so I always end up going from 6x6 = 36.

  • I could never understand how people be stupid enough to need to do multiplication or some other shiet.

    I always calculated the result - i remembered some of the combinations naturally from repetition.

    The whole idea of multiplication is stupid af.

    7 x 8? It's 7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7. 12 x 11? It’s 12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12 you dumb fucks.

  • What's a process where you prefer the old way of doing things instead of how it's done now?

    Jump

  • Driving manual (stick). I have an automatic now only because the model/trim I wanted doesn’t come any other way but if I could have got it in manual I would have. This car has less personality than my last one because I operate it rather than driving it. I literally have less of a connection with it.

    Playing music on a record player. The ritual of removing the record from the sleeve, placing it on the deck, cleaning it, landing the needle. Listening to an album.

    Cooking on gas instead of a halogen hob. Sure halogen is great and super easy to clean but gas is visceral and ‘real’. I also like to cook over charcoal or, even better, wood.

  • A group of us used to meet every week to watch Twin Peaks. We’d unplug the phone, drink coffee, and eat cherry pie (or apple for a bit of variation). Then we’d watch the episode again having just recorded it and try to figure out wtf was going on. Happy days.

    I remember seeing porn (American) for the first time and wondering why the penises look so odd (circumcision isn't practiced in my country).
