I am sure if you search this thread you will see some posts from me about how avoiding a wide draw at Dundalk is very important. If it was Aidan O'Brien in the Irish Field people would be saying how insightful and what not. Load of bollocks from you.

I'm 99.9% certain that it was intended in jest as a follow on from other wankery suggestions that had been posted previously.
0.1% chance he thinks you're a wanker though.

Why do we like the smell of freshly cut grass? Presumably there's an evolutionary reason we find the smell appealing. Also flowers. Why do we like their smell? It can't be randomness given we all think the same way, there must have been some historic benefit we got from them. Yet we've never used flowers or grass (afaik) as feed during our evolution. Or maybe I've misunderstood evolution, but thought the general idea was that we like the smell of things that are of benefit to us, and dislike the smell of harmful things.Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.

This is a public service announcement by CHD for whiskey wankers.
Anyone who enjoys 10-12 year old whiskeys,
Everyone is running out, hence the new Jameson brands etc you see about recently. All these new brands are much younger flavored shite to make up the shortfall that will hit within the next ~3 years. They are being sold at similar prices cause people are stupid and the Asians who are the cause of the shortage are especially stupid.
If you like red breast etc make sure you buy a couple bottles before the price hike kicks in this time next year. I'm possibly way too early and maybe the breweries will flood the market with their wanky craft whiskeys and it won't be too bad but prices will rise for all decent whiskeys.

I would say most of it is accidental and selective. We like the smell of fresh cut grass, but we may not like the smell of freshly caught fish, or seaweed. If we didn't like the smell of grass, we would still cultivate it regardless.
With flowers I think you're looking at it the wrong way, they are the ones using us for their survival. Blindly obviously, but there's a symbiosis between humans and flowering plants, we get the pleasure, they get to thrive. Only the most hardy of them fully depend on symbiosis with insects, the clever ones made themselves the human's pet.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Lots of our tastes, smells are the result of evolution. But that doesn't every single pleasant smell was an evolutional response. I also like the smell of petrol, which is probably a relatively recent smell we've been exposed to.
Cyanide smells like almonds. And nightshade smells like tomatoes. Most are deadly poisons. Carbon monoxide and other poisons gases have no smell, etc.
Tastes are probably more reliable, where certain things that smell nice have a foul taste to warn us off.

Originally posted by AndyFatBastard View PostI'm having flashbacks to an episode of Dragon's Den where Deborah Meaden destroys a guy trying to sell fancy olive oil. There's a great moment when she tells him the high end Tesco stuff is grand. His chest puffs up and he starts making huffing noises. "No it's not!" he almost screams.
Her point was that boutique olive oil might be miles better than anything available in Tesco, but it's basically impossible to convince people that the extra quality is worth the extra effort, never mind the expense.
What did everyone have for lunch?

Well its now the day before and gift vouchers are about to be bought, so that clearly didn't work out too well. Although maybe it will. One voucher is to meet a Michelin star chef in the Saturday market in the morning and walk around with him as he explains the ingredients he buys then its back to the restaurant for a class on how to cook that days lunch, followed by lunch. hmm although writing it like that it seems like I've got her an extra job that she needs to do on top of everything else
