Call it arrogance, conceit whatever, but I feel entirely comfortable that if I have done anything it's no worse than anyone else

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.

presumably because you were pissed that I'd proved that mean, cost-of-living adjusted incomes among the working - including the early 20s - hadn't just increased from the mid 70s and early 80s as I'd originally claimed - but actually rocketed in fact, as according to the ONS

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.

Well now I just want a McMuffin.

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, which 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 accordingly.

Why thanks. I like to think so.

Just desserts matey.

Never change.

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

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

Just desserts matey.

You can talk about starters and main courses too.

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

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.

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

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.

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".

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/

Like you need a book for that.

Homophobia. Shame, I expected better from you.
