    Dinning Alone

    powdered=disgusting frozen seems exactly the same to me. I didnt know there was anyone who could tell the difference. Maybe if you dont shake it? or maybe it's only the more fatty milks that dont freeze well? I usually use 2% or skimmed

    Dinning Alone

    not corrected. You said most dairy products. milk is not most. Try it with cream or sour cream i expect you'd have trouble. you're statement still holds true.

    Dinning Alone

    milk is one of the exceptions to that. give it a shake when it defrosts and it's good to go

    A Guide To Table Manners: Part II

    humans are apes. not better than animals. BUT i agree that being spat at and seeing chewed food is slightly revolting (although really not somethign to get your knickers in a twist about). What i object to is it being made into some kind of rulebook. People KNOW when they're being disgusting...

    A Guide To Table Manners: Part II

    I hve noticed that cap wearing is often a strong psychological barrier. almost like a security blanket. Some men are unconfident about their hair, others think they can only look cool with their cap on. Ive really noticed though that some people are extremely reluctant to remove their...

    A Guide To Table Manners: Part II

    this is rediculous. People can eat however they want, kids can have messy foods as long as the parents will clean it up, elbows can go on the table or in the saucer for all i care and yes it is disgusting when someone talks with their mouth open but if someone wants to do it they can. By far...

    the world's first trillionaire

    categorising people

    I've noticed a lot of it happens now. People state that x was done by christians or y was done by muslems, or all americans are z. Why should we categorise people? and if we do maybe we could attempt to use the categories only when they truly apply. For instance rather than say all acts of...

    I have just bought a book, called "the pig who wanted to be eaten, and 99 other thought experiments" Now I understand it'd be big trouble if i were to copy out the experiments, as some of them are copyrighted and some belong to the author of the book, but I figure I can put them in my own...

    can we know anything about wars?

    I am starting to think it is impossible for us (the people) to know anything for sure about anyof the wars we pay for. We all know from past experience that during wars, propaganda, more so than usual, is rife, and often hard to believe in hindsight. SO how are we to know anything about what...
