    Have you ever called pasta “noodles”?

    Chip and PIN is designed to be more secure and harder to defraud- Outside of America, the credit card companies take the hit for card fraud. In America, it’s the card holder who takes the hit, so less impetus for the CC companies to do anything about it.

    Same in Ireland, the UK, France, Germany, Switzerland and Spain- possibly other EU countries as well but I’ve only listed the ones I’ve visited recently

    I tend to only look at the total- I have an idea in my mind of what the price should be. If the total is wildly different to what I thought it should be, then I’ll examine the bill fully.

    The alternative is just to take your bill up to the register- it’s usually on the way out anyway.

    BBC’s adaptation of Les Miserables should be on this list. We’re 2 episodes in over here and it’s seriously good- Almost makes you forget that horrible musical version.

    If it’s insipid, I’d guess it was factory farmed chicken. The free range ones I get from a local farm a full of flavour- the most chicken-y flavoured chicken I’ve ever had.

    For me, a herb is the leaf/stalk of a plant. Everything else is a spice (especially if it’s powdered).

    Table salt is usually sodium chloride with a little anti-caking and iodine thrown in. Sea salt can contain many other different minerals on top of NaCl.

    Something not considered in that letter/response is that the guy just might not be that well endowed...

    Strange thing is- Escape Room is on Netflix UK already...

    I had the best margarita ever in a restaurant in Old Town. I’ve spent my entire life trying to find one as good.

    Common etiquette here is: If you are hosting your own fancy birthday party at a restaurant, then you pick up the bill.

    In most cases it’s just as simple as a couple of quick swipes with a steel (no need to resharpen)

    Cool, I’ve been doing it the right way all along (plus, who doesn’t halve an onion thru the poles?)

    I think now it’s defined as below the Age Of Consent (16 years)

    In fairness, they were inside her...

    She only won it because Jodie Comer wasn’t nominated...

    Unfortunately Jeremy has since apologised and said that he respects Morgan for the way he took the punch.

    In Ireland it used to be “No Children After 7pm”, it’s now been changed to 10pm.
