I think they've all gone off on an osteology residential training course, so they can learn how to break people's arms more effectively

I think we should call the meaty sausages "tubetti di carne": it's fun to say, and it means we can keep the s-word for other tubular foods

That's some real folk horror stuff!

Exactly: you need to have clear product labelling, because of allergens etc. But I honestly don't get this massive hate boner that people have for vegetarian/vegan food. Most of it is pretty delicious!

I don't think I'd ever seen the video! The bit with the soles (fish) was my favourite

I eat meat, but I can't fathom why people get so upset over veggie sausages and burgers. The sausage/burger part refers to the shape, not the content!

I misread that as melted mercury, and I was alarmed for you and your tits

A small beeswax candle in an unglazed dish. For Jingles, for Antony, for Petra, and for everyone else who was so loved and who is so missed

I hope the racists never enjoy another piece of cake again. I hope their Battenbergs are stale

Ugh. People need to get their heads out of their backsides and actually listen to minority voices
