minor things that make you fume

Plastic milk bottles, why does the little tab always just rip off without bringing any of the seal off with it

While I do mostly agree with your point about the wonderful human immune system and in most cases we're fine, personal hygiene can still be a bit of an issue.

I remember reading about a study where the NHS took samples of nuts from pubs, when they were regularly free on the bar, and analysed the samples.

Lots of examples of piss and faeces from many different people (vaguely remember fourteen) and let's be honest that isn't a pleasant thought.

It's not. But I've eaten nuts other people have handled in a bar* and have never been ill from it. It's a case of the thought being worse than the reality.

Anyway. Free food!

*ooh er missus

The evolution of the nut bowl with “examples of piss and faeces from many different people”. Like @chrismpw says though, the thought is worse than the reality. lol

I love Marmite but I can't stand peanuts/peanut butter so that's a no from me

Looks lush that. Then again it's no trouble to put a bit of peanut butter on my marmite. Better texture that way, with different bites tasting of marmite or peanuts depending on the distribution. Also keeping them separate makes each more versatile - so as a marketing idea that sounds transiently nice it's a no from me.

Have you lost your mind my friend?

 

[gonetomorrow]

Surely, the Marmite peanut butter is just peanut butter under a Marmite brand name - their own version, as it were, of peanut butter?
It's not marmite flavoured peanut butter is it?
I'll thrash the man who says that it is.

When someone waves to you but you don't see them. Then later on they accuse you of purposely ignoring them.

I was going to say that Marmite is like ambrosia - the food of the gods, but that's creamed rice isn't it?

Cheaper to get it this way Chris. If you take your prescribed route, you’re only giving in to ‘them’...

There was an experiment on TV a few years back (BBC3 or something) were they took swabs of people who'd just had a shower. Evidence of piss and faecal matter all over them, washing their bumhole and tadger spreads it around all over the shop - that stuffs everywhere.

There's a big difference between trace elements on a bowl of nuts and chowing down on a meaty stool washed down with a pint of warm yellow. It's not a pleasant thought but then if you're chatting with someone in fairly close proximity (crowded bar...remember them??) then there's an absolute load of stuff flying between you that isn't a pleasant thought.

In short, the thought of someone mixing ingredients with bare hands doesn't bother me that much.

Cheaper isn't always the best route. Any why follow their ratios when you can blend to your own preference?

 

[Jeff Jones]

But how often do people get ill from all that? Is it worth the fuss, paranoia, worry? An immune system needs exercise after all. They're everywhere mate. You have more bacterial cells in your body than you have human cells.

I was probably skirting around the fringes of it when I talked about bacteria, although I still don't fancy it even though I wouldn't know about it.

Going straight to the point I'm thinking about picking your nose or clumsy arse wiping and not washing your hands.

Saw on an episode of QI that we are continually consuming bits of insects. Impossible to avoid bits getting in our food

I'll not be having you pick my nose mate, I barely know ya.

And I wipe with engineering precision!
