Be Excellent To Each Other

Neither do I. All I'm pointing out is that it takes two people to have an argument about something. Some of the things you post I can't believe that you don't want a reaction and that's fine, the place would get boring as shit without the occasional ding dong. It's just the acting all hurt and innocent afterwards.

I hardly think I'm acting innocent, I've said repeatedly I'm no better (but no worse) than anyone else.
I'd by lying if I said I wasn't hurt at times by this shit, but hey, I'll get over it.

You can broccoli my ear at bbq if you want.

That's an image I didn't need.

Waste of good broccoli. Very much my favourite vegetable. I have it with everything.

Got a phone full, darlin'.

Mate, you're just embarrassing yourself now. You said that in response to his initial claim that millennials had less *disposable income* than your generation, but that wasn't ever in question. It was totally irrelevant as a statistic on its own and proving it had no point.

You offered nothing that disproved that initial statement.

In your mind, I don't doubt you believe that. Sadly the reality, though, is that I was specifically talking about people in their early 20s (say, 21-25) and for them, it is inarguably the case, as according to the ONS info that I posted, that average incomes among the working, fully adjusted for cost of living, have increased, and not even by just a few % either. So this means that people in those age groups will likely have more money in their pocket e.g. to spend on luxury items like cars, than ever their forebears in the mid 70s or early 80s did. That's simply a fact, and no amount of "yeah but house prices" is going to change that. (People in their early 20s were hardly buying houses in their droves in the mid 70s or early 80s, not least because credit was *unbelievably* much harder to get than it is now, especially mortgages, but it's an irrelevance to my argument about buying cars. Have you seen the year-on-year *record* new car UK registrations? I mean apart from the compelling ONS data, how do you suppose that happens FFS?)

I really don't have the time to trot through the same old crap yet again (In another thread), I got things to do. As I said at the time, either believe, or don't believe - if it's the latter, I really can't help you.

But, coming back with counter-arguments, however irrelevant or bad is one thing, that I can deal with. Just trolling saying how crap I am without offering any actual counterargument at all is quite another, and as I've said, I feel entirely comfortable in responding (very successfully) accordingly.

Well now I just want a McMuffin.

You really are amazing.

Why thanks. I like to think so.

We're all well aware of that!

Never change.

You can talk about starters and main courses too.

Just seen a tweet about lemon meringue pie and now I really want puddings. All the puddings.

Very good at soaking up sauces. Also: MINI TREES!

Not heard of that one...

Back on topic, I'm planning on writing a book called A Passion for Mince.

Every recipe has mince at its heart.

Beef mince.

Lamb mince.

Chicken mince.

Turkey mince.

All the mince!

Out of the gate I'll have recipes for:

Chilli
Spag Bol
Thai Basil Chicken Mince
Sausage Mince and Pasta
Cheese Toasties + Mince

The list is (not really) endless.

I might take to mincing the unexpected, like broccoli. Or maybe that's the followup book.

I had never heard of courgetti until bro's wife asked for a spiraliser for Christmas. I had no idea what a spiraliser was.

Excellent! You should have both Man Chilli and Cottage Chilli as guest recipes.

I'm aware of Man Chilli. How does Cottage Chilli differ?

I'd be honoured to include one of them in the first edition.

Cottage Chilli is the chilli you make when you're drunk and you're cooking for 25 beexers. It involves getting very very bored of trying to a) brown mince and b) boil water.

Sounds like that recipe could end up being a bit New Games Journalismey. A bit too much of the chef's existential crisis.

Sounds like a section with tips on browning mince for large groups could be a winner though.

It ends with drinking shots that are 50% chilli and 50% fireball cinnamon whisky.

I think you're mixing your years up. Those shots were 50% Fireball and 50% fat skimmed from the top of fajita sauce.

If you want good beef mince, this is the best I've had to date

First mince I've found that doesn't require a pint of fatty liquid to be removed from the pan when browning.

I actually have a book somewhere which is something like "100 things to do with mince".

That doesn't actually look too much more expensive than buying organic mince at t'supermarket. Will give it a whirl, cheers.

Ooh, I'd like to see that book.

Me too, properly intrigued to learn that there are other things to do except eat it, let alone 99 other things.

Number 73 will shock you.

Butchers are furious about this one neat trick.

Is YOUR sex life in trouble? Use more mince.

I actually have a book somewhere which is something like "100 ways to mince".

Like you need a book for that.

Oh, you guys!

I seriously do have a book about mince though. It might be this one... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mince-100-Fabu ... 906650012/

Fuck, Mitzie Wilson has beaten me to the punch.

She doesn't have Man Chilli, though.

Homophobia. Shame, I expected better from you.

No, he's saying he walks funny.
