Benin Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I don't get the panic... There are worse animals we could eat, and we eat effectively EVERY SINGLE ANIMAL ON THE PLANET ANYWAYS...

pluk Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 There are more disturbing things in a Findus Crispy Pancake than a horse. If they sold horse in the butchers I'd try it. To be fair I think it is a really big deal that food labelling can be so incorrect on such a large scale, but the fact that it is horse? Meh, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Isn't horse meat a regular thing in other countries, such as France, anyway? I think the thing I'm concerned about is the misrepresentation of the product, which should be the only concern for the public. Anything else is over reaction and fear mongering in my eyes.

Mer Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Some of those lasagnes have 100% horsemeat in But presumably nobody noticed a difference in taste? Which is interesting as it goes to show how psychology can affect the senses; if you don't know you're eating something different you'll eat it. Well, that and the fact that horse can't taste too different to beef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that and the fact that horse can't taste too different to beef You'd be surprised. Not proud of this at all but horse tastes a little bit like beef in my opinion. And a lil like ham. But you're right with the psychology part, if you perceive something to be one thing you can trick the senses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I've heard it tastes like Camel. Personally I really want to try it and think they should keep it on the shelves and just say to you when you buy it that that product is now actually horse. Me dad and his partner had this the other night and thought it tasted weird and through it away and I was like hello, I would have eaten that! Over reaction this whole story. I get people are concerned about the labeling and that is the issue so you Joe public start whining about the labels and not the meat!

Luke_A Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Oh dear, the clothing chain Republic may be set to go into administration soon, reported to have already appointed Ernst & Young to be the administrators if it does go. I quite like the stuff in there, not good for the high street again! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-21431753 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RideAddict Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Just been reading this article about The Sun starting to charge people to read online later this year. Apparently, so is the Telegraph. Hmm. I can see this being reversed no sooner as it's put in place. How many websites out there can you read the news on? Loads. Bad decision? Yes. Con? Yes.

pluk Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 The reason they, along with every other news empire, wants to destroy the BBC is for things like this. They don't want us being given news and entertainment for 'free' when they can try and hold us ransom for it without actually offering anything of any real value. Just a shame the government is in their pocket and so much of the public go along with this 'evil BBC' line the press throw at us so incessantly. We'll miss it when its gone!

Mer Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 So the parents of the 6 children killed in that Derby house fire are going to be sentenced for manslaughter, along with their friend. It's just...I can't even find the words It was a botched plan to gain custody of the father's other children he had with his mistress, and frame her, but the fact that they took such a gamble with their children's lives is insane. I just watched the Panorama about it on iPlayer and I feel sick tbh Not just because of what the parents did but how they reacted afterwards; one of the wife's sisters was saying that when visitng the eldest in hospital while he was dieing, the parents were moaning that the hospital hadn't provided them with food and were discussing where to order a Chinese from. The wife tried to accuse her dad of abusing her as a young girl, which he didn't, but despite that accusation along with killing her children, he said he would always be there for her, because she's his own flesh and blood, and then he broke down crying Shame she and her husband didn't feel like that about their own children! The husband sounds nasty and like he has no empathy at all. Infact both parents are just sick in the head! Quite frightening when they showed images of the house afterwards too. And when the fire investigators explained that the petrol plus the varnished wooden bannister on the stairs helped it spread so quickly and how little chance anyone would have to survive Oh and hearing the 999 call recording was awful. Really shouldn't have watched that before sleeping but I wanted to and I know that if I hadn't done it there and then I would have forgotten.

Smidget Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I've seen so many statuses praising the fact that she is dead. The lack of respect some people have really angers me. Yeah you may not agree with some of her politics, but at the end of the day she was still a human being with many people who loved and cared for her. For example... "We were owed big and balance delivered. See ya Maggie you f****** troll." Gah Mer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideAddict Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Some people are bastards. This country had a split opinion of her when she was in power. I don't agree with everything she did, and to say she did more right than wrong is a matter of opinion. But at the end of the day she was an icon, a legend. Love her or hate her, she played an important role in the 20th century. She'll be remembered for generations to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
