spunko12345 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Now we're talking. I eat cereal virtually every day, never for breakfast though always in the evening. I go through phases, im into the plainer cereals at the moment Corn Flakes and Rice Krispies. Fruit n Fibre I was having them for a few months. Weetabix Minis, Nut Clusters, Apricot Wheats, Cinnamon Graham, Golden Grahams, Coco Pops, Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. All solid cereals but too sweet for my taste at the moment, I will go back to them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the fuck does Special K cost so much more than any other cereal. I don't know if it's the same all over the world but i noticed Special K is now nearly £4 and all the others about £2 or £2.50. I guess it's because it's special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Or beer on the cereal? A mug of beer was the traditional way a rural worker started his day for centuries. It is only comparatively recently that it changed thanks to Victorian hatchet faced do-gooders. This is how I justified it to myself anyhow, sitting there with a four pack at seven in the morning during the 2002 World Cup! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to justify something is to prove something to be right or to account for something, to show cause for it. So when you ask how does tradition justify anything i explained that it was because human behaviour is governed by prescedent, a great deal of what we do is due to behavioural prescedent. The vast majority in fact. At the heart of it your question appeared to be asking why is tradition alone a good enough reason to do 'x' thing. Why do mothers meet up for a cup of tea, why not...i dunno, drink water, eat monkey nuts. Edited April 22, 2016 by Len B'stard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do mothers meet up for a cup of tea, why not...i dunno, drink water, eat monkey nuts. I thought justification meant that something was just or right. And surely we all know that tradition alone isn't sufficient for a behaviour to be just or right. To take an extreme example, the fact that slavery was tradition before doesn't make it right today. Or if Prikopp, or whatever his name was, at one moment started to wonder whether he was perhaps an insane monster then surely he didn't justify his actions towards Kampusch as okay because after all it was a tradition for Germans to keep sex thralls in the iron age. I am not at all saying there is anything wrong with drinking beer for breakfast. It was Diesel who needed justification for that behaviour, and he who chose to find that justification in it being a lost tradition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose in that particular connotation to justify mine was more of an explanation than a justification, though the two follow on from one another. Quote I am not at all saying there is anything wrong with drinking beer for breakfast. It was Diesel who needed justification for that behaviour, and he who chose to find that justification in it being a lost tradition. I believe he was joking there, as i was when i said it certainly made me feel better about myself. i don't think he was seriously sitting there having a dilemma about whether or not to booze in morning whilst watching the world cup and the dilemma was resolved by reference to the historial exploits of the pre-Victorian era folks of England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a joke specific to the unusual kick off times instigated by the peculiarity of hosting a world cup in Japan, and thus hesitating some seriously early drinking.

arnold layne Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Sometimes my gf and I go to the local IHOP for bfast and play board games. It is a good way to start the day, but we end up overeating and going back to sleep anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
