What’s your most controversial opinion? **Read OP** **Mod Note in Post #3372**

It's like saying I don't care if people engage in slavery.

There’s nothing healthy about any of that.

Polyamorous it is so 😊

Not any more. Sgt Pepper has been out of favour for a quite a while. People have been calling it overrated for years. In 1993, the NME writers published a top 100 and Revolver was #2 (after the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds). I was in college at the time and a lot of people went out and bought Revolver then - in my view, that was the start of the push to make it the fan favourite. It's gathered momentum ever since. I actually prefer the US version of the album.

For what it's worth, my Beatles top 3 are 1/ Sgt Pepper, 2/ Let It Be, 3/ The White Album

Completely. And any fûcker doing it has to announce it to the universe on social media that they are doing it.

How about, just don’t drink alcohol until you feel like it, the world doesn’t need to know.

if I’m going on say no takeaways in January … I’ll just say that to whoever needs to know… “look listen I won’t be going for chipper on Fridays for X weeks….wanna lose some weight or whatever….

of course ‘thanks’ and ‘likes’ are the currency of these dweebs.

Most of the famous food cultures in Europe are trading very much on their reputation. The upwardly mobile in Ireland might have came back from their holiday in France in the 80's raving about the meal they had in some roadside tavern, but it doesn't mean we still have to take that as gospel.

Most of the French bistros, Italian Trattoria and Spanish Bodegas/Tapas places serve up terrible food. So do Irish pubs, but we don't pretend to have some great food culture. I'd say the quality of read-to-heat food being delivered to Irish pubs is of a far higher standard than on the continent.

Not at all controversial

The Criminal Law (Defence and the Dwelling) Bill 2011 allows a homeowner ato defend themselves with reasonable force. Was drawn up in response to the Mr Nally case.

It's already been tested legally too. Guy got off when he killed an intruder. And rightly so.

I don't really care about Israel and Palestine. There's people getting killed in numerous conflicts all over the world. Sudan, Myanmar, Ukraine to name a few. The media tells people which ones there supposed to care about. Ireland should stay completely out of it, I don't appreciate Leo or anyone else in government claiming to speak for me on the issue and especially not the idiots calling for us to join some international case against them.

there is no garlic in Bolognese

Tell that to the chef, from Bologna, who gave me an excellent recipe for ragu Bolognese.

Just out of curiosity, I decided to check my copy of the Silver Spoon, which some regard as the Bible of authentic Italian cooking, or at least that's what claims on a sticker on the cover.

And I can confirm although it is optional there is indeed garlic in the bolognese meat sauce.
