I don't think so.

Do you like Lamb Doner Kebabs?

Even if not Lebanese, Ive had generic Levantine food in the past.

Gyro, or Schwarma?

I like Doner, but with rice.

I'm thinking about my sins :( :cry:

I do like them.

Do you consider yourself a particularly great sinner?

Now you've got me thinking of sour cream. I love it.

Lebanese is my favorite of the Levantine cusines.
I also love lamb kebabs. I love lamb in any preparation, but no mutton!


Gyro, but also felafel.

I am first among sinners.

What was the best tree you've climbed?

Only a somewhat great one.

Do you believe the UK should join the 21st century, and get more air-conditioning into their homes?

Air conditioning is immoral, as are toilet seats, easy chairs and lampshades.

Do you think Britain should return to its nineteenth century values?

Only some of them.

How about 16th-century values?

Pre-industrial values, IMO.

Do you think America had an age of innocence?

(Kraftiekortie/1)Not really, I've been around since the late 1950s, and have never felt the need for any such thing. I saw a post on WP which mentioned 'AC', and it took me a while to work out what it referred to... :lol:

(Prometheus) Er....

(Kraftiekortie/2) Queen Elizabeth had a few good ideas, but I can't remember what they were...

(Redxk) Maybe

Do you believe the European Union is a good idea?

One of my favourite political quotes is from Norman Tebitt, once Thatcher's right hand man and, nearly ninety now, still a member of the House of Lords:

Quote:
My Lords, would it not be a good idea if the Chairman of Committees and all Members resisted the mad idea of this House being dragged into this century? It is a very disagreeable century. Would it not be a better idea to drag us back perhaps into the 19th century, which in many ways was a very much better one for this country?


:heart: :lol:

What do you think of Maggie Thatcher?

In some areas, in some socioeconomic groups.

Maybe, in the 20th century, during the 1950s in Suburbia.

I think it’s somewhat of a good idea. Maybe better than Brexit to those who are into multiculturalism.

Thatcher was a conservative.


Same question.

An astonishing phenomenon in the early-to-mid 1980s, her policies seemed persuasive at the time. After her 1987 election victory, she seemed to quickly lose the plot. Her privatization of public utilities has in retrospect been disastrous.

Same Question

I had a UK person talk about “humidity.” Never expected that!

It seems like at least southeast England has been having New York-type summer weather more often these days


Is the Cotswolds very nice?

What American region can compare?

In a much smaller area, Forest Hills Gardens in NYC looks like the Cotswolds.


Same question.

The European Union is an authoritarian, Trotskyist entity which is the gravest threat to the freedom and welfare of the people of Europe since Nazi Germany. It's not multicultural; it wants ONE, globalised, culture whose form is to be dictated by the corporate elites. This IS globalism.

America was certainly MORE innocent before the 1960s cultural revolution.

Thatcher seems to me to have combined all that was worst of social liberalism on the one hand and economic liberalism on the other. The eighties were perhaps the last decade when British Civilisation could have been saved, and she did nothing. She was not a Conservative, which is why Anthony Blair subsequently adopted all of her ideas.

That said, I could listen to her voice ALL day. At work, I met a classy, tremendously cultured black lady the other day, in her fifties or so, who spoke with almost precisely the same accent. I was in love! Why can't we have women like that my age?

I can't stand air-conditioning, in all seriousness, or any other source of unnatural air.

The Cotswolds are smashing. I was in a small, Cotswold village called Windrush not long ago.

Do you like kiwifruit?
