Phantom 2,531 Posted December 2, 2011 People with relatives in the armed forces who try to make remembrance day about themselves. Send those fuckers off to Afghanistan... I get tired of having it rammed down my throat of how many times a year I have to thank people in the armed forces. As far as I'm concerned that's what veterans' day/ remembrance day, Memorial Day and Armed Forces Day is reserved for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,129 Posted December 2, 2011 quite apart from referring to movies. Ken Russell made films. oh ffs. Either word is acceptable Mr Pedantic. "Movies" does sound rather an ancient term, as though it might have described what came before "talkies". Anyway, I'm off to take the dog for his walkies.

It's not pedantry, rather a protest against the way our language is becoming permeated by so many Americanisms. I have relatives who say that something they like is "to die for." That's vomit-inducing. It's like calling biscuits, cookies and sweets, candies. That's fine in America, but citizens of the UK who do that should be dragged in to the street and executed in front of their families. What? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, although he was behind me, so I suppose I could retroactively pretend it was a young Sean Connery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

our Sydney 11 Posted December 16, 2011 A top spot should be reserved in room 101 for all people who think it is a good idea to put chilli in chocolates. I just popped a nice looking chocky in your mouth expecting some nice truffle experience and get a hot mouth and a big reminder of a Monty python sketch. I love chilli especially in a mutton curry or as part of taco but not in a chocky. Best regards Syd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CarolAnn 926 Posted December 16, 2011 You don't even get a warning from these Yuck they look like normal (but expensive) chockies, at least your ones are bullet shaped! Best regards Syd In this neck of the woods chili peppers in chocolates is quite popular. It's a great combination from Central America. Hot chocolate made with vanilla, cinnamon and red chilis (i like red serannos) is really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best regards Syd 'One man's meat is another man's poison' as the saying goes. I love Hotel Chocolat, they are my favourite chocolates, but due to the exorbitant cost I don't get them very often. Should you find yourself with any unwanted boxes at Christmas just send them in my direction. I am also very partial to chilli chocolate, this I am not so sure about, but I would give it a go.
