Worst I've ever known was in my old job (going back about 20 years or so) one of the blokes had been on holiday to Iceland and brought back this "delicacy" that was rotting whale meat. All he did was open the jar. Fucking hell. Nothing would shift the smell, no air freshener, nothing. No-one went into the kitchen for the next two days. In fact, next four because this was on a Thursday morning.

The Swedes have Surströmming (rotting herring). We have relatives there and thank fuck they think its vile too. But they do have the cheek to slate marmite.

My nan used to bring stinkey cheese back from Germany with her, Limburger I's guess. Jesus christ that stuff smelt like a tramps foot after doing a marathon through a dumpster. And people enjoy eating it.

Had that in Iceland, I think.  Marinated in its own urine and washed down with some clear spirit.

Obviously not an issue at the moment but someone at work constantly brings in some kind of fish for lunch. Its not tuna, its much stronger and they microwave it and it lingers for hours.

It could be mackeral as that stinks the house out

Fresh Mackerel really shouldn't stink. If it does it's bad. Like a lot of fish. The ones that tend to linger a lot are Pilchards, Herring and Kippers. Used to work with a bloke that would microwave Kippers (and Bacon??) and that took about a weeks worth of lemon based fumigation to sort out. Well it was that or buy a new microwave.

Ali G trending on twitter because the character is offensive all of a sudden.

My guess is that a small group of 'offended' people mentioned it and it's blown up from there. If I had the platform, I think I'd just make up stuff to be offended about to see where it goes. Just for shits and giggles.

These people have taken over the idea of what it is to be left-wing, and they won't tolerate any desent. To me they are the enemies of equality as I see it.

I have no idea.

The creator of the Bo Selecta programme apologised for the black characters he played saying it was a mistake. Even though many black people have said it wasn’t offensive. Guessing that because of this many people are saying ‘Ali G’ should apologise for pretending to be black.

Little Britain is the real shocker. First, it wasn't that funny. And even at the time it was racist, transphobic, homophobic and probably more. It is way over the line in 2020.
