Acceptable age for trick-or-treating
Just for a light discussion/debate, wondering what people think? I know people who get intimidated by groups of teenagers of 14/15/16 knocking on their door so they don't "do" halloween at all, no decorations and turn the lights off so it looks like they aren't in. I sort of have a theory that if a child is old enough to…

Covid Inquiry - what's the point
I see no point in the current Covid Inquiry.Nobody is going to be found guilty of anything and it's going to cost over £100 million just to point out the bleeding obvious .......that money would have been much better spent on the NHS.In the UK, more than 228,000 people have since died with Covid-19 listed on their death…

Gastroenterology problem

Grumpy relatives
I have a couple of extremely grumpy relatives. Ordinarily I would find this quite entertaining - at least, if it were not for their behaviour causing many of the people they come into contact with to end up in tears - but due to my issues they create me a lot of anxiety. I find it helps me to share things like this when…

Remembrance Day / Poppy Day
I thought if it’s OK I would make a thread to cover Remembrance Day / Poppy Day / Remembrance Sunday etc. and have a general discussion around it. Royal British Legion is one of the few charities I support aside from Scope, Air Ambulance, maybe a couple of others. These are charities that I think in all honesty, in a fair…

Is soup a drink?
From the team that brought you the Great Potato Debate comes another important question that plagues us all. I asked this in the Ask Anything game this morning, but it definitely requires some further exploration. What is soup? Are chunks an important factor? If a soup is a smooth liquid meal, does this mean smoothies are…

Why do the clocks go back?
So the clocks go back an hour at 2am on October 29th 2023. But why do we do this? Talk of this goes back to the Romans, who used to take advantage of more daylight and was even joked about by Benjamin Franklin, who wrote about a similar idea in a satirical letter sent to the editor of the Journal of Paris. In the letter,…

Pie and Chips? No I'm fed up of chips lets have something different? So try this it takes about 1/2 to cook…

Halloween Traditions
When we think of Halloween, or All Hallows’ Eve to use it’s
older name, we often think of the very Americanised version. Pumpkins, trick-o-treating,
costume dressing. Like many of today’s celebrations however it’s roots go much
deeper and older. What was a Celtic end of year celebration, Samhain, welcoming
the darker half…
