Those signs that read....."If you can't see my mirrors, I can't see you"
Should read "If you can't see my mirrors, I can't see your eyeballs"
Well maybe not but you get my point.
Exactly. You may not be able to see me, but you can certainly see the much larger motor vehicle I am contained in.Should read "If you can't see my mirrors, I can't see your eyeballs"
Well maybe not but you get my point.

This week
Catering for a vegetarian isn't too bad, mines gone fully vegan, and so much vegetarian stuff is no more suitable for him than a rare steak! what a PITA that is for shopping/cooking. Luckily he doesn't live with us whilst he's at Uni, and when he's back, he has to sort himself out.P-Jay said:
Veggie stuff
Have some fun with it, cook him the most plain, boring, tasteless veggie meals going whilst the rest of the family get really tasty, aromatic meat dishes. 
I haven't eaten fish or seafood in 20 years, partly because I don't like much of it, but also I disagree with how large scale fishing operations are conducted. The number of occasions I've had outraged veggies berate me for not eating fish that are wild animals, but daring to eat animals that are bred purely for that purpose is ridiculous.
Re. Veggies.
I will fight until my very last breath for the right of anyone in this country to eat what ever they fancy. If they don't like eating animals, fine, I have no issue with this either. I am also of the opinion that we could probably eat quite a bit less meat and be healthier for it.
However, as someone that was brought up on a commercial farm and still works in agriculture, do not, and I repeat, don not play the f
king welfare card.
Farm animals in the country are very well looked after indeed, they have everything they need to thrive. The people taking care of them spend every waking hour, and a few while they are asleep, thinking about their stock. During the foot and mouth balls up, people that had had their stock culled had killed themselves after the stress of seeing their livestock, that they may well have bred over generations. Yes, the fattening stock will get killed anyway, but not just to burn and chuck in the ground, and the breeding stock don't get killed.
Various problems crop up from time to time on all farms, and the people working on them, be it the actual owner or the staff find it very stress full when things are dropping down dead unexpectedly. Working with them, you get attached to them and have your favourites, and ones that are an utter pain in the arse...
Livestock also can eat bi-products of the human food chain, making use of foods that are not suitable for human consumption because they are not of high enough quality or just plain un-digestible. They can also live on and make use of areas, such as most of Wales, that are not suitable for growing crops.
I have tried reasoning with a some vegans in town that had a stall and were saying how 'orrible all livestock, but it's futile, they are utter moon units.

I havent eaten meat for over 30 years. Hate it. I would rather not eat fish, but do sometimes because I can't eat nuts. Can't eat gluten or dairy either due to allergies,
Don't care what others say or think, neither would I impose my values upon them. You eat what you want and I'll eat what I want.
It amazes/annoys me how people make life decisions, then try to impose that upon those around them.
Evangelical vegetarians/vegans/etc are the real pita.

I have had discussions with friends about this who are of the vegetarian persuasion and when in their house I always eat happily what I'm served, and will always make the effort to have something palatable for them when they come round. Like you say, eat what you want and they can eat what they want. Don't care what others say or think, neither would I impose my values upon them. You eat what you want and I'll eat what I want.

As you suggest though, there are those who just try to impose their view on every one else (Morrissey) and I counter them by pointing out that every (pretty much) restaurant, even steak houses, have vegetarian options these days, but a vegetarian restaurant will not have a carnivorous option. There is no compromise with them at all, but they expect everyone else to compromise for them.
On the topic of the thread title, as it's been a warm day here, I would say having one's nuts sticking to their legs, bloody annoying!!

That only happens if you're too idle to shower every day. Ewww.

I like that!Isn't that just a slightly extreme Trumpist view? If, for whatever reason, you contemplate a certain reality you could just boldly declare that view in the hope or even conviction that it will become a reality inasmuch as the view can be perpetuated?
There is no global warming.
Hillary Clinton is an alien who should be imprisoned.
There is no Australia.
The moon is made of cheese.
No, hang on, that last one IS true....
Anyway, we like that there are some people who can believe such things, even in the face of evidence. It makes us feel better to find there is always someone more gullible out there!

I think that's referred to by many in the service/catering industry as the "Can I speak to your manager?" haircut. Excluding 1980s Phil Oakey
