Comment on A Life of Lentils and Beef Eye Fillets. by vivienne29

I don’t know what to say except none of this is my experience. I have now been married for 40 years (need a medal) but for my entire living memory (from the age of about 2) we ate meat every day of the week, all year round. Lots of lamb mainly – when I was a teenager one could still buy a whole side of lamb for $1 – yes, one dollar.

Mobile phones obviously did not exist then so I see no point in comparisons. I see as many adults with phones glued to their heads as I do younger people. Silly really.

One thing you have missed though, Gerard, is the stupidity of people buying crap expensive junk food. Too lazy to cook. They do have time. Heck, I had a full time job, owner built our house and typed hubby’s Masters thesis and cooked and entertained – all in the one year.

I love lentils and dream of a whole week without any meat; if it was up to me, I would have fish and salads for six days and meat only on Sundays…

Didn’t Granny think it strange the ‘herbs’ did nothing for his tumescense? I suppose she thought he would take to buy her flowers and go shopping more often and not fall asleep every afternoon straight after his lunch. Did Foodge end up regaining his manhood lose his boobs?

When I was first married, the only thing we had more than once a week was….. I have forgotten.

I keep trying to instill these values into my offspring, but, alas, no good. We recently took the eldest and his partner to a fairly expensive restaurant, and, as we walked through Newcastle’s newest dining strip (yes, it’s not all coal and ships) they pointed out various places they frequent, here once a week, there, once a month, another place for a special treat. They then complained about the state of the economy and housing prices, and how they couldn’t save for a deposit.

Mmmm…I thought, I seem to remember only eating meat once a week when i was first married.

Curry is a very good choice.

And tonight, Eurovision is set to provoke another furious row when as it prepares to air its first lesbian kiss.

Finnish entrant Krista Siegfrids, 27, said she wants to ‘make a statement’ about her country’s ban on gay marriage at the end of her performance.
Direct from Finland ( The ‘kiss ‘has been blacked out).
