Now Smolbots has written a long thread asking people not to argue about turnips vs swedes and claiming that US English and British English are "two languages" (they're not). I agree with his general point - arguments about "if you pronounce scone differently from me, you're an idiot" are so very dull - but I also want him to STFU, and he is not nearly as clever as he thinks he is.

Also, Turnipbot is NOT A ROBOT.

I mean ... how can you write a thread about the etymology of turnips without saying much at all.

He should have @/d Jack herself here as SHE WAS THE ONE WHO STARTED THE ARGUMENT THIS MORNING.

Is she serious, this would be the most boring thing to argue about if she wasn’t arguing the opposite of what every wee oul granny in Norn Iron would say. Turnips here are called swedes in England.

Amazing.

Nobody needs to know the ins and outs of what everything is called everywhere but when you’re getting on like a dick about it and you’re a self proclaimed Norn Irish LITERAL FOOD EXPERT this is hilarious.

Happy 40th lovely @Malkiavelli! I baked you a cake specially. Welcome to your next decade my fellow Aries ♈ Frau. 40s aren’t so bad, embrace them! I hope you have a wonderful day

And a very happy birthday to your mum @blurstoftimes. Xx

If you could please keep the chaos to a minimum today, Jack. I’m actually going to be quite BUSY.

Haha, thank you and happy birthday to you too, @Brian Butterfield! fellow 21st of march baby, have a great one. Would personally probably feel la bit more positive about the whole thing if I wasn't quite so hungover - hopefully Monday is the day I'll start embrace this shiny new decade... cheers!

Stand down, must not have chaos if pennies could roll in via fight club lovely chat.

Also not really happy with Grace Dent’s latest guardian offering. Realise that I may be sensitive in this regard but saying that she goes out on 5 mile runs/walks every day so she can wear smaller pants isn’t really helpful. It is also the sort of thing that we get at Jack for so we really should hold others to account for it too. All this “I must be thin before lockdown ends” is really damaging and should not be being published in the MSM. Rant over. sorry.

grace has always owned being vain though, and wanting to be thin but also going out to eat a lot. Not as bad as Polly ‘I’m thin so I’m better than you’ Vernon *spit*
