    I still can't believe it's not butter. Was full sure it was.....

    I can't believe it's so salty, it just tastes like salt.

    Real butter is creamy and milky, a bit like me actually,

    hey, something really obvious I only just realised. :)

    Wow hooh....:D

    no no no , you have it all wrong

    Drumpot may have his/her/its own problem but they have no correlation or bearing on me.

    Not a "recent" realisation, but my God one I should have figured out a lot sooner than I did.

    Basically when I was a child the idea of eating a chicken's unborn baby in the form of an egg didn't sit well with me at all. So my dad, thinking the protein was good for me or whatever says no, chickens routinely dump eggs all over the farm yard which are meant as food, and that the baby chickens will only ever be laid in the nest. In other words the chicken lays two completely different types of egg, one that's an unborn baby, and the other that tastes great boiled with milk and butter to dip your toast into.

    OK, a child of five might buy that (I know I did) but sweet Jesus I was a grown adult of voting age before it dawned on me the old man was just trying to get a fussy child to shut up and eat his breakfast :o

    Your dad is right about 2 different types of eggs. But he did lie about one being laid around the yard.

    You're not eating a baby chicken foetus like you think you are. You're eating a Hens Period egg :) See, it's simple, nothing is dying because it's unfertilised and is unable to actually grow into a chicken. :)

    Your response is my fault for not offering more context. I am a nice guy, and always have been, even when looking on somewhat confused as the types who would repeatedly insult and disrespect a girl in public still end up bringing her home.

    So, as a subtle test - in contrast to all of my usual sensibilities, I did put on the asshole act a few nights back, with result.

    So please, don't throw around that 'cave-man' analysis so easily, I've always been known as a true gent - thought recently I've started to wonder if it's the best option ...

    Read this.... http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-harsh-truths-that-will-make-you-better-person/

    Being a nice guy means fcuk all if that's all you have to offer. Try being a person over all with other qualities.

    Was listening to RHCP's Californication album recently for the first time in ages and only just realised that the song title Emit Remmus is Summer Time backwards...

    The word 'gallop' is onomatopoeic (the pronunciation of the word mimics the sound of the action it describes)

    Gallop, gallop, gallop, gallop.

    That the popular US rapper Flo Rida's stage name is actually a play on words on the state of Florida, his birth place.

    Always hear that Snap "Rhythm is a dancer" song. I only just found it I didn't know it was called that just googled it . I always thought the lyrics were "river river dancing/dancer" not "rhythm is a dancer". (I've only heard it in clubs always mishear things there)

    Mumbai is the Gujarati name. Is the obvious realisation here that Gujaratis prefer to use their own name rather than a colonial adaptation of a Portuguese one? ;)

    I had a dog as a child that I genuinely thought went to live on a farm as we did not have enough space for it to run around.

    Never questioned it until I seen the same excuse given on the telly. My mother confirmed that she had the dog put down :(
