Pescetarians are a lot worse people than vegetarians.

There's talk of our vending machines going, which should do wonders for staff morale in the misery pit... I tend to bring my own stuff in, but there's times when that isn't feasible. God knows how the girls will react if it is true. In all seriousness, chocolate is sometimes the only thing keeping them 'stable' :shock:


The mocha was OK but dissappointed with the cappuccino. Threw it away. Will get another from the other machine in a bit.

Heard the hot water is OK though :)

How every Android browser seems to get a 'basic thing' wrong:

Stock browser crashes on a whim

Boat displays tabs if you fanny about with it, but won't let you enter a URL - I mean who the fcuk thought... :x

Firefox can't handle video

Dolphin has more wrong with it than I could list here

Maxthon gets a bit confused when you try to make it 'open new tab in background', and that's maybe before it's crashed randomly

I'm sick to the back teeth of trying different browsers :x :cry:

Fair one!! :D

So your mission this week is to invent a decent Android browser, then convince IMAX to build a theater somewhere in Ireland. Ready? Set? GO! ;)

How did you reach this conclusion?

Some of my friends go that way. Basically they were lacto-vegetarian, but added fish to the diet for practical reasons of health. Their young son eats meat.

I think it's hypocritical if you're not eating meat because "meat is murder", because obviously fish have a brain, two eyes and a spine like people do. However, that's not the way everyone thinks.

I do agree that pescetarians are weird. They eat seafood but nothing else. Surely eating fish is the same as eating meat, because it is meat?

One of my girlfriends was vegetarian and didn't eat anything she considered meat. This included eggs because it was basically a protoform (ie had the ability to become animal life). However, she did convince me to go veggie and I did for several years. One of things it made me appreciate was that meat began as animal life and that we as humans are largely cut off from this. This was later exemplified by a female friend who loved beef but couldn't bear to watch animals get killed. To her, there was a distinction between what was in the field and what was on the plate.

For me, I decided that if I didn't have the balls to kill it, I shouldn't eat it hence I was a pescetarian for a short while until I could successfully (albeit messily) kill a chicken and prep it. I haven't felt the need to go beyond this yet.

There is an argument that certain caught fish are about as "free range" as you can get.

Personally I mostly avoid fish for ethical reasons, especially the most over-fished stocks such as cod which I absolutely refuse to buy.

I would never eat anything that I couldn't kill and prepare myself.

However, not only can I kill and prepare animals myself, I have reared, killed and prepared animals for food.

In which case, I doff my hat to you sir.

People make fun of rednecks but they completely have my respect when it comes to this issue.
