You Are Being Unreasonable - 069 - Nice

Episode Date: April 2, 2020

"Moral outrage: it's a big phrase for a little chilli." We're still in lockdown and we're all hoarding beans. Or Haribo Bears which can be used in place of beans in many recipes. We'll get into all that culinary sacrilege and also talk about websites where hunky priests discuss if they're being unreasonable, being a grow-your-own hipster mad at this new grow-your-owners during the global health crisis and learning what spaghetti is, changing usernames to prevent being outed as Mumsnetters and being no-filter, no-makeup kind of people, and we discover what 'Netflix and chill' means in front of important business clients. 

Hello, driving on drugs feels better when they're prescription. All I know, the world looks beautiful, the world looks so damn beautiful. I feel fantastic, and I never felt as good as how I do right now, except for maybe when I think about I felt that day, when I felt the way that I do right now, right now. I feel fantastic, and I never felt as good as how I do right now, except for maybe when I think about I felt that. Hello.

Hello, welcome to You Are Being Unreasonable, the podcast about People for being unreasonable on mumsnet.com with me, Hells. And me, Simon. This is episode 69. Nice. It's a funny number. It is. Funny numbers.

And we better make the most of it because we're not going to hit another until 420 when we're old and Mumsnet has folded and the podcast is just us ranking our cat. Yeah, it is episode 69. When I was looking for threads for this episode, I said to Simon, oh, should I try and find some sexy threads? And Simon said, no. No. So I didn't.

There's nothing sexy. about our current situation. Tell that to everyone on Twitter. Yeah, I mean, is there going to be a baby boom? Like, personally, I don't think now would be the time that I would want to be carrying a baby, because pregnant people are supposed to be shielding, so you couldn't go out at all. You couldn't even go for your state-mandated exercise. No. No. Don't put yourself through that. It would be harder to be two metres away because you've got that extra bump. It's true, yeah. So these are all things that people need to factor in. Think before you have a baby. Anyway, that's why we're not doing sexy threads. Also, because this is not a sexy website.

It's not babes net. It's really not. Hunky, honkypriestnet.com. Hunkypriest net.com. What, where hunky priests ask if they're being unreasonable. Yeah. Hunky priests just come with their hunky problems. My congregation can't concentrate on my sermons because of my glistening abs. My congregation have been told that they should just take their problems, directly to God during this crisis, and I'm really missing out on all the goss. Should we do a speed round?

Am I being unreasonable to be frustrated with DH over tins I have saved? Yeah, she's hard in tins, and he's eating all the beans. Am I being unreasonable to tell you about the Muppets I have seen? Kermit, Fuzzy, Rolfe. I mean, I could go on. Am I being unreasonable? So disappointed in Gordon Ramsey. I mean, we all are, like, just wash your mouth out, mate. Am I being unreasonable? Police set up phone lines and online form to tell on neighbours.

Oh yeah, so this is fun. We've become a nation of snitches. Yeah. Curtain twitching and seeing who's outside. Like many people, we are working from home at the moment, so I like to have the radio on in the background, and I like to have radio two on in the morning. And then I have to quickly change to Radio 6,

because you start to hear what Jeremy Vine has to say, Yeah. And Jeremy Weim was just chatting to Ken Bruce, doing he's like, what's coming up on my show bit? And he was like, are we right to be sending drones up to see who's walking their dog? We'll be talking about that on my show. Like, well, obviously we're not right. No, drone operators are not key workers.

This is ridiculous. Why are we framing this as good? No, bad, bad. Stop snitching on your neighbours. Just... Also, I see you down there, Barbara, going for your second walk of the day. Yeah, do you? Yeah.

You need something else to do with your time. I see you there, Barbara. Don't even know me. Didn't see you out clapping for the NHS either, did that? Don't get me started on the clapping for the NHS. Am I being unreasonable? Baked beans in Chili Conkarni. A moral outrage?

I was talking about chili conkarni earlier and someone mentioned using baked beans instead of kidney beans and I was not convinced by the idea. I'd now really like to know what's normal. Do you think using baked beans in chili con carne is culinary sacrilege, a bit gross, or just what everyone does? How long? How long have we been in here, hells? How long have we been in here that we're so disconnected from society that I don't know whether this person's right or wrong?

How long? Has it been a week or five months? It hasn't been long enough that I can understand that you would be down to the very last beans in your cupboard. but that's based on the privilege that we have of having food in. Of having beans. Not everyone has that privilege, so I'm being unfair. What I will say is that a moral outrage is a big phrase. Yeah, this is why I think we've become so disconnected from the world outside.

It's a big phrase for a little chili, isn't it? A big phrase for a little chili. Is it culinary sacrilege? If it's sacrilege, then just confess directly to God. Don't go to your priest. Yeah, culinary sacrilege is. making the shape of an upside-down cross in your tart or whatever. Yeah, but surely that just depends on which angle you're looking at the tar.

Like, what if someone's made it and say for them? It's just a cross the way up that you would expect. And you're standing facing them and you look at their tart. Yeah, you need to put a right-side up sign on it as well. Yeah. In raspberry fondant or something. Just a picture of Christ being a normal man and not the Messiah. Yeah, I mean.

It's hard to get that cross impatient. It wasn't the whole point that he was just a normal man. He was a normal man and the Messiah, there's too much nuance there for a pie. Yeah, I guess that's true. We all have a lot more time on our hands, so maybe I will try to convey that level of nuance in a pie this Easter. Culinary sacrilead.

I like they say, I was talking about chili con carne earlier, and someone mentioned using baked beans. Now, this thread probably predates the time in which we all just stayed at home with the people we live with, and they probably were just talking to someone but I like the idea that it's someone that they have a very intimate relationship with

who they live with and they're so outraged about the beans they're just like well someone said it one spilled their beans about the beans you spilled you beans why do you spill your beans I went to see the lighthouse before all this happened horrifying truly horrifying

I think the best thing to come from this is that in the current situation there's no way I would accidentally end up in a cinema watching the lighthouse trying to like out if I was allowed to leave because I was so distressed. You were allowed to leave? Yeah, but I... You went out for like 10 minutes to go to the bathroom, ostensibly.

Yeah, I went out to go to the bathroom, and then I text a load of friends like, oh my God, this man is just wanking into a light. I don't know why. The bulb is really big, and they were like, way, bulb. And I was like, no, it's a lighthouse. Anyway, better go back in.

Better see what happens Oh, very distressing Anyway, he spilled his beans He did I wouldn't use baked beans in chili con carne But what difference does it make When it's all mixed up in a chili cancarnie, really? If you would use Hariko beans

And you would use Haribo beans Haribo beans Haricot Harry Bill Bears Why not use Haribo bears If you're out of Haribo beans I'll not substitute

you, Harry Bowers. A delicious sweet and savory treat. You know, I listen to a lot of podcasts, and a lot of podcasts have been putting out extra content during this crisis, ostensibly for the listeners, but, you know, we're all just doing what we can to get by. And they're all saying, oh, people will listen to this, and as the weeks progress, it'll be clear we've gone mad.

I think we have peaked mad very early. Yeah, a lot of listeners are asking us not to put out more content. Yeah. Oh, that reminds me, we need to give a shout out to Charlie, because we said we would. Yeah, we did. associating you with horrible beans. Yeah, yeah, Charlie did not want to share a thread, but did want a shout-out, so that is something

that's in our power to do. I like this person's given three options, so it's culinary sacrilege, a bit gross, or just what everyone does. But something can be what everyone does, but still be a bit gross. Yeah, it's not what everyone does, so let's cross that one else. And something will be culinary sacrilege and be a bit gross. It's culinary sacrilege because it's a bit gross. Yeah, so gross, an abomination, it just won't taste right, is what the first response on the thread says,

but then the second says, absolutely fine. Momsen it, a land of contrast. Someone has said, my children won't eat kidney beans, so I wash the sauce off baked beans and put them in. Why don't you just buy Harriko beans? You don't need to wash the sauce off baked beans. No. That's nonsense. Yeah, I won't eat kidney beans, so I wash the sauce of baked beans.

They can't be that much difference, though, can they? I guess baked beans are slightly softer. So I just cook the kidney beans for longer. Oh, yeah, or just buy Hariko beans. I'm sorry, it feels like I'm sponsored by Hariko beans this week, and I know how hard it is for many people to even get tins at the moment, so this is very insensitive off me. I'm sorry, I'm cancelled.

One day, one day you can just go out and buy Hariko beans. Bears, Haribo bears. Someone has said, I put baked beans, including the sauce and kidney beans in mine. My family prefer it that way. This is another reason that during this lockdown, I will not be having a child. I do not want to have to pander to someone who wants baked beans in anything. You know what they're having, though, with all these kinds of beans. It's a bean feast.

It is a bean feast. I want a feast. I want a bean feast. Shall we move on? Yeah. Am I being unreasonable to think mums netters should change usernames more often? I'm just following up on a recent thread about mums letters who have been outed in real life. Lots of people said they had been, and even more said they had recognised people on Mumsnet,

either from their unique stories, or from joining the dots between little pieces of personal info across multiple threads, or from photographs, e.g. of pets, that had also been shared on Facebook or elsewhere. Once you've been even vaguely recognised, your whole thread history can be located using advanced search, or even just by Googling the word Mumsnet along with the username. It's easy to change your username. You just go to settings, overwrite the name, add your password and click save. You might get an error if it's not unique, so keep trying.

Mumsnet rules say you can change the name as often as you like. So unless you really do want to build up a profile across multiple threads, fine if you do. Why leave a trail for others to follow? And that's from Mumsnet user. One thing that I do like about Mumsnet is that Mumsnet for a public forum, I'm really into internet privacy. Yeah. Mumsnet has love internet privacy.

So you've got Mumsnet open right now, and you haven't logged in or anything. Like, it's all just public, right? Yeah. It all comes up in Google searches, like they say. Yeah. It's all indexed. It's all public. This is a public forum.

Yeah. It's like going out into the park and shouting your opinions. This is very much like that. It's not acceptable. It's entirely futile, but it is quite entertaining. Yeah. Whereas this Mum's Net, I want it to be 4chan, where there is no personal information, and everyone who logs on is anonymous.

Yeah. And I'd say to them, look at how well that's worked for 4chan, as in not at all, because it's a breeding ground for far right and white supremacist. You know that just because you think that's bad, That doesn't mean that user beep thinks that that is a bad thing. Maybe they want this to be a breeding ground for the alt-right. Oh dear. Yeah, maybe that's what they're hoping for.

They're like, look, we'll change our usernames more because I want to do some hate speech. Yeah, and as we've learned, Mumsnet is quite capable of doing hate speech without that. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, just from screenshots that I've seen on Twitter, off the top of my head, I could tell you three Mumsnet usernames who are TURFs. I'm not going to, but I'm sure we can all think of the ones that we've seen screenshot and put on Twitter. fine if you want to go change your username go for it this user offers some helpful advice as to how to do that

it's extremely patronising advice yeah it is it's unsolicited and it's too detailed if you want to change your username go for it yeah people apparently have been outed in real life and people have said they've recognised people on mums net but what are people posting about where that's such a big deal I'm sure there are threads on other boards that are probably quite sensitive and personal but on how am I being unreasonable I'm sure that if you're the sort of prick that starts a thread because your colleague dared to eat a banana near you

like everyone knows you're a prick they don't need to put together your mum's net history yeah if you get outed at work for putting baked beans in your chili can't it's not the biggest problem in the world exactly if you get fired for that you need to go to your union and like if you're the woman who's screamed at the Sistine Chapel people aren't going to then put that together with all your other threads and be like oh that's who it is

because they will know immediately who you are just from that one it doesn't matter what else you've written yeah because you're screaming constantly at work yeah you've seen karen lately yeah she's just in the brickroom screaming at some renaissance postcards that someone got in someone said because i don't mind if people know who i am i have nothing to hide and i'm not that remarkable i don't make shit up on here or any social media platform i've not said anything i can't stand beside i'm a no filter no makeup no hiding kind of person in real life and online. All right, well, I mean, you've taken it too far the other way.

Like, I'm saying you don't need to bother changing your username because no one cares, but we don't need this, like, nothing to hide, nothing to fear mentality. Nothing to hide. I'm fine, yeah. I'll post exactly the same things on Mum's Net as the drones will see me doing in the Dales anyway. Post what you like, and don't be sanctimonious about it. Yeah, and I don't know what being a no-make-up person means.

Like, I wear makeup, but that doesn't make me a liar. Doesn't it help? Yesterday I felt sad because this is a weird situation, so I put on quite a lot of purple glittery eyeliner. That wasn't a lie. I didn't then try to tell everyone that I was born like that. It was an implicit lie to me, the only person you saw in person that day.

Yeah, like, oh. And my friends, who you saw on Zoom later that evening. So someone has said, I feel sorry for the DC of posters who say very personal things about their kids and are then recognisable. I recognised mum from school, who was then talking about her DD's mental health

in great detail. Well, yeah, but I mean, the lesson there isn't change your username, the lesson there is like, don't be a dick about your kids on the internet. Yeah, chat shit, get banged. Chat shit, get banged. Should we move on?

Especially about your kids' mental health. Am I being unreasonable to think that a lot of people are buying stuff they have no idea what to do with? I've just been looking at vegetable seeds online. All the sites I've looked, either have delays or are not currently taking orders. I've been Grow Your Own for years.

I had an allotment until a couple of years ago when I gave it up because I changed jobs and I couldn't get to it so often. I still grow as much as I can in containers at home. Now my broad beans are coming on nicely. My onion sets are sprouting and I'll be planting potatoes in buckets next week but I wanted some squash and brusica seeds.

I suspect that many people order and grow your own stuff have no clue what they're doing. Just like I suspect many of the people buying flour will have never made a loaf in their life. And the seeds, if sown, will never bear fruit as they think you can just stick the seed in some compost and harvest a crop a few weeks later. I notice tomato seeds are all out of stock.

Unless you're in the far south, it's too late to sow tomatoes and get a crop before September. This person's talking about animal crossing, right? Go on. This person's just got animal crossing and is frustrated that they have to pay so many bells for seeds.

Yeah, I'm sure that is that. I don't play... I don't play games. I don't play games, and I'm no makeup, no hiding. Chat should get bagged. I've never played Animal Crossing, but I've seen a lot of people on the internet talking about Animal Crossing,

and it sounded really lovely and wholesome, and then you got Animal Crossing, and immediately you got into debt to a raccoon. And then you were angry at a tree. I was like, this isn't the way that I thought this game went. And I have to pay his son, Bells, to get seeds, which like, does he want the island to look good or not? What are you want, Tomnuck? Tomnuck.

That's his name. That's a cute name. A cute name for a charlatan. A charlatan is like a fraudster, isn't it? He's a fraudster. He took me to this island and then said, oh, you owe me 5,000 miles for the tent. Oh, sounds like human trafficking. Yeah.

Animal trafficking. I'm the only human. So it's human trafficking, but there's only one human, and it's me. But yeah, this is about everyone becoming preppers. Yeah, it is. It just seems a bit smarmy and a bit unsympathetic. And, all right, you can't get any brusica seeds. You can't, you know, you just have to get over it, won't you?

Complaining that tomato seeds are out of stock and then saying that there's no point growing tomatoes now anyway, just shows up that all you're trying to do is point out how extremely good you are and how extremely shit everyone else is. Yeah, you're not buying tomato seeds, because you know it's not the season. for tomatoes. Yeah. So why do you care? And I mean, I don't know how it works with growing plants, but like all the people buying flour, probably just that everyone who would buy flour at some point bought an extra bag of flour. One, it's not, there's everyone out there who's never baked in their

life has suddenly got a box room full of flour. Yeah, we haven't all become, you know, subsistence, the good life, living off the land on our own kind of people. Yeah. We've just bought a little extra flour and maybe some seeds because we have more time to do baking and gardening. Exactly. I think it's a nice thing that people are learning these little hobbies and doing things differently than they would have done. Yeah. Like, I make a loaf about once a week.

That's the thing that I was doing before this hit. But the fact that other people have bought up all of the flour, I'm not angry. I'm not going to, like, oh, well, I hope your bread is horrible and you don't even know what you're doing. And I hope you learn never to try anything new, no matter what the circumstance. And I hope your flat burns down and the firemen won't come in because of COVID-19. Goodness me, that's escalated. I hope you accent you buy poison ivy seeds, you little bitch.

Well, I just say what I want. I don't wear makeup. I don't hide anything. I tell it how I see it and the way I see it is the way that a wanker would see it. Yeah, right, if you've never made a loaf in your life, there's always time to make your first loaf. Yeah. Everyone had never made a loaf in their life at some. point. Even Paul Hollywood made his first loaf at some point. Exactly. Little Paul Hollywood with his little beard making that first loaf, then tearing it apart. Putting his nose directly into it and then just throwing it over his

shoulder. Yeah. Terrible. Bake off babies. Totally agree. In fact, I overheard a woman in Tesco a couple of weeks ago saying to a friend that she picked up a few packs of spaghetti. She'd never used it before and didn't have a clue what to do with it. But she heard everyone was buying pasta and spaghetti and there was some spaghetti left on the shelf so she got it right well the learning curve for spaghetti is not particularly steep it's not dark souls you'll be fine and maybe everyone who has already been buying spaghetti shouldn't have made such a meal out of posting pictures of empty shelves so people felt like they had no option but to buy spaghetti yeah you can't be angry at someone for deciding that they might buy some spaghetti yeah that they might branch out and try something new

that's a good thing this is some hipster bullshit like i ate spaghetti before it was a pandemic We all ate spaghetti before it was a pandemic Except apparently one woman in Tesco That's a long thing to overhear, isn't it? Like, he must have been following her around She's just there with, what, one packet of spaghetti Yeah, standing next to her significant other I've never used this before

But I heard that people were buying up pasta on spaghetti So I'll give it a try While you're like spooking around behind her What do I cook it in, Harrowbow bears? Whoa! I've got this spaghetti and I've got this jam I was watching Pioneer Woman earlier, as is my wont. Rhee was making something that she kept describing as being peanut butter noodles.

Fine, that's legit. And then at the end, she was like, I just use regular spaghetti noodles. Those are different things. Yeah, that's peanut butter, spaghetti. Like, peanut butter noodles, fine, whatever. You're making like a peanut spicy sauce and you're having it with noodles. Peanut butter spaghetti all of a sudden sounds like Rui is the person who bought up all the spaghetti, never having seen it before.

Yeah. Very alarming. I must say, I'm finding all these really smug people, very annoying. Like, stop calling people COVID-Iuts. That's just horrible. Like, we're all going through the same crisis here, lads. Most people haven't been panicked buying. It's just the supermarket, supply chains can't cope with it.

Exactly. Stop saying all these panic buyers. Like, we've got two packets of spaghetti in. I'll tell you I've got two packets of spaghetti in, because over a month ago, we did a food shop online. I put two packets of spaghetti on it, because I'm paying a delivery fee, and I've got a hit 40 quid. Then I'm going to buy two of some stuff, aren't I? I'm not going to be like, oh, well, I've ordered one of each of my essentials, and I've got

£20 to spare, so I'll just buy one bottle of champagne to hit the delivery amount. Yeah, I get two things of shampoo, because I compulsively buy two bottles of something. You buy two of everything, yeah. Even years ago. Yeah, you've always bought two of everything. Like the arc. It is very much like the ark. The shower gel came in two by two.

Oh, hurrah. The beauty raging came in tune by two. Hurrah, hurrah. Yeah. Like, it's not stockpiling. People aren't stockpiling. And also, like, if you've bought any more than you ever normally buy, then you too are guilty of this.

So stop being smug all over Facebook, everyone. I'm just bent out of shape because I've joined some local Facebook groups, given the situation, because it's good to get a tip on where I might be delivering fruit and vegetables at the moment. And it's just full of people that I cannot bear. The idea they all live so close to me is making me really unlawful. uncomfortable. It's like that thing where you're never more than 10 meters from a rat in London. Like, now I'm never more than 10 meters from someone who's saying co-vidiots because someone

bought some pesto. That was a big rant. Sorry, friends. We had to buy seeds because the person who usually propagates them for us is self-isolating. I'm quite looking forward to it and bought the bits I needed a while ago now. I suspect you're not wrong though. You've just said you've done something different and now you're joining in with the person who's judging people for behaving differently, as if we should all be behaving the same during a pandemic. Yeah, we cannot behave the same, because I usually go to work. Yeah. Now I have to

work from my living room. Yeah, my the same involves going and buying an extremely expensive salad from a place on Old Street on a weekday afternoon. I can't go and buy my overpriced salad, so I'm having to eat spaghetti. Yeah, yeah. If your beef is that people are behaving differently, Yeah, they are behaving differently, because it's a global emergency. My beef is people calling this the new normal so soon. It's not normal. Like, we don't need to tell ourselves that this is normal in order to survive. Yeah, this is the temporary way, not at all normal.

Like, how quickly did people start adapting and saying it was the new normal? Do you accept everything lying down so readily? Nation of boot lickers. Absolutely a nation of boot lickers. Oh my word. The new normal, as we adjust to the new normal, Well, it's going to go on for months Or maybe a year

But like, this is not my entire life now I cannot, I will not get through this If I tell myself it's the new normal I'm getting through by telling myself That this is an extreme situation Piss right off So what if they don't know what they're doing Would you be moaning any other year

About folk learning to grow their own? I like that person Yeah, they're all right Yeah And someone said I was a bit peeved About all the chickpeas and yeast being brought up As I normally make falafel once a week You can make falafel out with baked beans

So, there we go. Don't put them in a chili. Use them to make falafel. I don't know if it's a good tip. It's just a tip. Can you make falafel out of arabeau bears? No. Depends how much you're willing to broaden your definition of falafel. A lot. I'm not convinced that the bake bean falafel is true falafel. I'm just saying it's a recipe that I know exists. It's a Nardia Hussain recipe.

Here's a little tip. Wherever you'd put in beans, put in bears. See what happens. What if you're like growing beans? Yeah, just plant some bears. So you've just got a garden full of, based on mums there, harrow-bow bears and knives. Great. Am I being unreasonable? Netflix and chill.

Am I being unreasonable to think someone should have told me? I've been using this phrase to my D-D. Using it to clients, subscribe what I might do on my day off. No one thought to take me aside. Oh no. I just had to do one bawdy thread for episode 69. This is bawdy. Using it to clients.

No one thought to take me aside. Why wouldn't they take you aside? If you've got a healthy sex life, I'm sure the client's happy about that. They don't want to take you aside because they're like this person overshares too much in a public realm. Yeah. If I take them to one side, who knows what they will tell me? They're just there on their Zoom call with 30 other people and they're like, oh yeah, but in Netflix and chill. Then what if you go into a Zoom breakout room, then what?

Yeah, it could be explaining the details of what the chilling consists of. Taking all their clothes off suddenly. Turned in some sort of cam situation. No. That's why no one took you aside because you scared them with your inappropriate behaviour. Yeah, they're going to be zooming HR. They are going to be zooming HR. They are going to be zooming to zoom HR.

I've been using this phrase to my DD. I do wonder why the daughter hasn't told her. Maybe the daughter's too young to know. Oh, in that case, no harm done? Yeah. Why would you tell a child too young to know that you were going to Netflix and chills? Like, that kid probably lives with you. is like dependent on you.

Kids are pretty chilled all the time. I think that depends a lot on the kid. Yeah, that's true. But they don't have responsibilities, so they should be chilled. They don't have any bills to pay or podcast to record. They can chill whenever they like. If the DD is 23, then yeah, I don't know why I shouldn't just say, Mum, you might want to look up what that phrase means and leave it there.

There's no reason why she should have to get into the ins and outs. D.D. could be six. If the DD is six, I don't know why this woman's saying to her like, oh, should we Netflix and chill? Like, because the kid's not going to know anyway, so really, no harm done. Yeah, that's true. So, for the benefit of people who haven't heard the phrase, Netflix and Netflix means watch some Netflix and have some sex.

Yes. But do you think this person has been using it in the context of Netflix and relaxing, chillers in relaxing, or have they been chilling things, like putting things in the freezer while Netflix is on it in a laptop? They've been making sorbets. Yeah, I've been watching The Tiger King. and making sorbets. That sounds like a great day.

Like, I really need some activities to keep me entertained, so maybe I will do Netflix and chill in the sense of watching the Tiger King and making sorbet later. I watched the Netflix original Spanish film, The Platform, and was inspired to make a feast of sorbet. Yeah, why not? Like, one of those little things, you know where you chop a pineapple in half

and you scoop the pineapple out, and then you put sorbet in the pineapple, then you freeze that. Yeah, you could make those while you're watching Orange to the New Black. Yeah. Great. Make an orange sorbet to go with it.

A Blackberry's sorbet. Yeah, I mean, there's loads of sorbets. The sorbet possibilities are endless. Why not learn to make sorbet during this time? Buy up all the sorbet ingredients in the shops and annoy the artisan sorbet makers who've been doing it for years. And then make sure that you either don't use them at all or when you use them it doesn't go very well

just to really, you know, rub it in for those people who think the world revolves around then. Yeah, when you're loudly buying the ingredients, make sure to say, I've never seen or used these ingredients before, but desperate times. I don't even have a freezer. I was just going to put these in a drafty corner. I assume that's fine, right? Let's hear from the thread. I've just learnt something.

It's clearly recently changed meaning, though, hasn't it? Clutching at straws, another one who's used this phrase with important business clients. business clients. The Japanese investors have come round, like in any sitcom. Yeah. Anyone who says important business clients, I mean, they had a fool coming to them, didn't they? Yeah. I'm glad they've embarrassed themselves. Important business clients. Why are people talking about this with their business clients so much? We'll have a bit of chit-chat with people in a work context.

Yeah, but if someone at work asked what are you doing this weekend, I wouldn't say watching Netflix. No, I would say something that made me sound, you know, good. I'd say, like, no plans might pop out to the cinema or something. Yeah. I wouldn't say I'm going to watch Netflix, or I would be more specific. Yeah. I'm going to watch Star Trek Picard. Yeah.

Because, like, if you asked them what their plans were and they said, oh, I'm going to watch TV. You'd be like, okay, like, a bit vague. That sounds like the sort of answer you might give in, like, a year nine language lesson. What do you like doing? I like watching Netflix. All right. I adore television Netflix in particular

would be a good one because it's a brand name so you wouldn't need to translate it so as long as you've got the first part of that sentence Yeah, perfect Someone else said, I have never heard of this And also had to Google I'm sure I've used that term before When it's growing up what me in the DC

Have planned for a rainy Sunday Well, no one would have thought you meant it in that way If you were talking about what you and the kids were doing Yeah, no one thinks that They just think you don't know what the phrase means Yeah, people, don't worry, no one's running around thinking that you're some sort of child abuser, they just think you're a bit naive.

Someone has said Dragonbuster is not chilly paste, best not to Google that one. So this is just turned into a thread of stuff that people didn't know. Yeah, I'd say if you do not know what a phrase means, then look it up on Urban Dictionary, first off. Yeah.

If you cannot find it on Urban Dictionary, assume it's about sex. Yeah, just one more to share that really backs this point up. I once said I was teased, with a class of year nines, met with Sniggers. I meant making scrolls look old. What? It's very specific. It's very specific. It's too specific on both counts. Yeah. Both of those activities are implausibly specific for anyone to be just getting up to. Yeah. If that's your hobby, great. Just don't

call it teabagging. Also, if your hobby is making scrolls look old, don't tell a bunch of 14 and 15 year olds about it anyway, because they'll rip the piss out of you mercilessly just for having such a weird hobby. Or report you for forgery. Why would you be forging old documents? Well, there was that what was that film with Melissa McCarthy? Can you ever forgive me? She was forging old documents. There's that other film. She was teabagging. Yeah. Richard E. Grant. That film where Melissa McCarthy and Richard E. Grant are teabagging. He was nominated for an Oscar. One more from this thread. Is it immature that I found it very amusing. The post count for this thread was 69 when I read the title. Nice. Nice. Nice. What are

to round off episode 69. It's been a good episode 69, hasn't it? It has. Should we do one more speed round? Am I being unreasonable to find Jonathan Pye really attractive? Yes. Am I being unreasonable? Do I repel men? I don't know. Maybe you want to. Amma being unreasonable? Why comment on these posts? Well, good question. Good question.

And am I being unreasonable, drunk thread. Drunk Fred The forums really descended into madness Yeah People are just getting day drunk And making frets about it You know a couple of episodes back I said that they created a new board

Especially for coronavirus posts Yes And then there was an episode where I was like That has gone out the window Yeah I imagine that's less relevant Now that we're all quarantined Now they've made a new new board Which is called the no corona zona

And it's where you can't talk about the coronavirus Right And I had to look at it yesterday And there were about 12 posts on there and like four of them are people being like, do you want to see my cat? And then a couple of them are people playing like Mornington Crescent. And then there were a couple of people who were still angry

about where people were parked. So it's like all our works, Microsoft Teams or Slack channels. My workplace has only had Slack since the middle of last week because we are enemies of change. And so we finally got Slack and immediately someone used it to post an inspirational quote on a floral background. And I'm like, we have suffered enough. Why have we now got a Slack channel called So,

random. You should post specific inspirational quotes about COVID-19. Yeah, do you know where I'm like find some of those or are we're supposed to be making them up? If you go through Twitter and sort of look for epidemiologist reports, I'm looking for like specific findings. Instead of a floral background, all the pictures will just be close-ups of bits of the flat because where else am I going to go. It'll just be a quote from an epidemiology report on a laminate floor background. Yeah. A quote from epidemiology report on a hot. background. Quote from an epidemiologist report with a background of Simon playing animal crossing.

Looking really crossed. Really annoyed about this debt to this raccoon. When I'm I supposed to get 30 iron nuggets, I tell you. So I have some film reviews, hopefully, coming out soon for the BFI FLARE LGBTIQ Plus festival, which didn't go ahead, but the films were still available for review. So they'll be on take one cinema.net at some point. soon? My creative endeavours stretch mostly to live art. And as you can imagine, live art, not really happening right now. But we will be doing a live show this Sunday. We will be doing a

live show this Sunday. It's true. It will be on YouTube. We'll put all the details out. And in the meantime, I'm genuinely considering starting a food blog. Don't worry, I'll do it anonymously. So it's not associated with this podcast and none of you will ever have to look at it. Yeah, you can change your username. You must change your username. It'll be a food blog that looks like it's been crowdsourced, but it'll be me changing my username between every recipe. Yeah. And I'm going to start a food blog devoted to my Haribo bear recipes. If you could, I would definitely follow that. If it was just various things, like you claimed it was various recipes, but each one was just Haribo bears presented in different, like, crockery. Soup, just a bowl of haribou bears.

For this recipe, you will need a cauliflower, some miso, tofu, Haribo bears. discard the cauliflower miso tofu yeah look out for our live show this Sunday at probably about seven yeah seven I think seven's a good time yeah and we'll see you then hopefully yeah take care take care stay safe wash your hands if you manage to find any good threads that we could cover
