Do they still have ‘use by date’ on eggs ( or anything)


Thought I’d read they were phasing that idea out ??

I just can’t do eggs. Don’t mind chunks of scrambled in Chinese fried rice but that’s it. I hate boiled eggs (and the smell) in-particular. Just not my kind of food at-all.

I hear you. Actually considering baking something so it doesn't all go to waste.

Ok egg and chips is nice but I have to be really motivated to eat that egg.
A mouthful with lots of chips and sauce so I don't taste it

Eggs are amazing for protein and weightloss but man when I think about their origin and sometimes seeing those red blot clots and the white stringy bits How do people eat raw eggs. Has to be really fresh I get it but still. Also I've never tried a real carbonara but know the egg is technically raw I don't want to ever. So dishes with raw eggs are a bit of a Nono for me

A tube strike next week is just what I need because of course I couldn't possibly get to the airport without drama could I? Nooooo that would be absurd.

Baby-boomer toxicity being put down to being “old-fashioned”. Life didn’t begin in 1950. There was a time that pink was a masculine colour and blue was feminine-coded, long-before most of our grandparents were born. Societal norms evolve with time.

…the strikes may not go ahead but they’re something that you’re aware of so that gives you the time to make that Plan B as well and outwit and out plan that drama…

When an extroverted-sensing type of person dismisses thinkers and intuitives as “over-thinkers”. Philosophy, engineering, psychoanalysis and medicine wouldn’t exist without thinkers. We don’t all take life at face-value and that’s okay. We need thinkers and intuitives every bit as much as the go-with-the-flow types.

Yeah, okay. But there was also a time where men wore high heels and (essentially) corsets.

Right …

I hate sudden noises …
So when supermarket assistants suddenly drop empty trays on the floor behind me it freaks me out .. not just trays some shop assistants are just too noisy with their banging when closing doors or cupboards


Agahhhhh !!!!

I love to see the union flag being flown but it sends me into a tailspin when people fly their own national flag upside down. It's not interchangeable, it does matter what way up it's flown and it's simple to learn and retain. Flying the flag upside down is a sign of disrespect. Get a grip, patriots!
