Sounds like the way I see oysters and champagne - so many people order them as a treat (especially champagne in London bars) but I don’t see what I’m missing out on. Having tried both, they make me want to gag... I’d never pass as a rich person!

Glad I cant afford Caviar as all of these spoon options sound dodgy - surely horn and bone spoons are as bad as using ivory? (Unless you’re using granny’s heirlooms or something...!)

Thanks for this- in the media here we hear about the wall and that it’s very popular on one side and unpopular on the other, but to be honest we don’t hear much about which solution the Democrats want (I wasn’t sure if they took the far left approach of no migration controls from Mexico for example - I know it seems…

Thanks for clarifying this for me! I did wonder how so many people are living there undocumented if there was this massive fence at the border that I’d seen on the tv..

Thanks for taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment! All we see here is what is shown on the news (eg the part of the fence in California (?) where people visit their families, so I assumed it was all guarded and all along the border. Hence I couldn’t see why Trump was making such a big deal about replacing…

I hear you. One of my BFFs has just gone through MtF transition and has actually become harder to talk to about womens issues - she womansplains issues back to me when I’m concerned about my own personal safety and insists I should be flattered by cat-calling etc, because her focus is ‘passing’ over being objectified.…

Can I ask a genuine question as a puzzled Brit? Why are Trump’s opponents against the building of a wall, when there is already an enormous guarded fence across most of the border? Is it a money issue? Or do they also want the fence removed and unrestricted immigration across the border, like we have with…

This surprised me - I actually like it! Although it might fall in the hole of too country for pop fans/ too pop for country fans... could she carry off a Taylor Swift in reverse?

I would definitely watch that - how many times can they victimise one man’s family! Same with Bauer’s family in 24....

Are these cheese wheel cakes not a thing in the US yet? My friend had one a few years ago but cheddar is a good choice - they usually go with different kinds of cheese for each of the layers, including stilton/other blue cheese, which stinks out the room after a while...

Yeah Mr Ginger is mostly unaware that certain things bother me as he has a strong constitution for horror, and thinks of them as ‘just a movie’. He was utterly chilled by the handmaids tale though - and more so when I pointed out that pretty much everything in it (hanging of LGBT people, FGM, corrective rape) is…

Thanks for these recommendations - will add them to the list!

I know it’s a serious subject but “my sex possession” made me laugh out loud :-)

I don’t see this assumption as messed up at all, as it’s in the context of a movie plot. Male relatives IRL may well feel outraged, motivated by their love of the victim. However in lots of action movies as soon as the avenging man goes on the rampage, the female character is rarely mentioned again, and when the…

Excellent - soon they might actually taste like chocolate!

I’ll walk out of the room if Mr Ginger’s watching a show with a gratuitous rape scene in it - rape is used too often to develop a male character, either as a damaged monster rapist or a raging protective type. The related female characters are one-dimensional background characters who are raped, killed off and…

Yeah to be fair at least there’s a set standard here, even if religious schools ignore it. Still never forgiven them for forcing us to take some of GCSE (high school certificate) exams in theCatholic syllabus of Religious Education either- have never used it once, I could have been a historian or geologist instead!

Depends where you are - I went to a Catholic high school in the UK and they told us condoms don’t work due to ‘microscopic holes’ (! 😒) and the natural method was more reliable. Then made us watch a video about checking vaginal mucus. Yay.

Ugh, please don’t lump the rest of us in with her and Princess Michael - everyone I know here is disgusted by this behaviour, and ironically it’s been led from the front by the racist shit-rag Daily Mail, who are benefiting from all the extra clicks. Outrage is best used by supporting #stopfundinghate to pressure…

That is WOW! I never realised wood burning could be so intricate.
