I'm a daytime vegetarian. I only eat meat at night now. (Really it's just meat once a day but easier to just leave meat for evening meal)
I mean no disrespect whatsoever, each to their own and all that but ........ if you thought school dinners in the 60's and 70's were good I feel sorry for your taste buds! Salad with a spoon of cold baked beans thrown on the lettuce, lumpy mash, lumpy gravy, lumpy custard, grizzly Irish stew saved only by the beetroot topping, undiscernible meat with white spots in - I kid you not [word was it was horse] I could go on but I'm just about to eat my lunch ............
We had horsemeat on a school trip to France in the 70's, Tangy (or it was the way they cooked it). I found the bread was horrible, but we were used to white Wonderloaf at the time. The bread I eat now is lot more like the french stuff, and I suppose in that statement is a clue to changing tastes. For instance, we used to eat tinned beefburgers in gravy - I wouldn't vomit on them nowadays.
Btw, where do you stand on cold roasties dipped in cold gravy with cold peas and cold mashed carrot and swede?
Yes, tastes change. I remember those tinned 'floppy' burgers as well, Goblin weren't they? As kids we ate what our parents could afford and I'm sure they would have loved to feed us steak, lightly grilled rod caught salmon etc. etc but we needed lights and heating as well.
Our day old roasties became bubble and squeak - could go along with all you've put there except the cold gravy.
My wife won't eat peas because her parents used to buy canned peas as a kid (and canned peas are disgusting). Even though she agrees non canned peas taste much better, she won't eat them because they bring back memories of canned peas.
Trump's talking about a manned programme back to the moon and then onto Mars, as in the Lovell/Armstrong/Stafford proposal (as opposed to Aldrin's notion of one-way tickets there for the first pioneers who'd die there). Could be hot air, and there's a lot of sniping at NASA's prominent roll in monitoring climate change being closed down, but if he is serious...
A new space age, especially if he and his 'buddy' Puitn can get along, would be money better spent and produce abetter legacy than the neoliberal idea of primarily using government money on just enough welfare to keep unit labour costs down (yep, that's where our North Sea oil bonanza of the 70's and the 80's went - or Scotland's anyway).

Yes chaps, shade's of Gil scott Heron's Whitey's On The Moon here, but two things:
1) Why does space exploration/infrastructure building have to wait until all the earth's problems have been sorted out?
2) The Great Bill Hicks was an avid supporter of manned space exploration.

I haven't got a problem with tinned peas, although back in the day they thought making them luminous green made them more appetising, but I agree with your wife's stance, some things I ate as a child make me feel ill now - quick example, cockles

My dad used to take us cockling in West Kirby and Ainsdale. Sound. Love mussels too.
Moon is a waste of time, so is a return trip mars mission at this point. I welcome manned exploration of Mars, but if returning in one trip is the expectation it won't happen any time soon.

Still at the pie in the sky stage but think it's more likely commercial than national with the cost. ..maybe with multinational cooperation. .

Mars One's one way mission is the right idea. I don't think making it funded by reality TV is a good idea though. No reality show stays THAT popular long enough to make Mars One financially sound.
Reality TV is garbage, if you had a Mars One mission you could do so much more related to public outreach, education, even corporate talks, rather than some BS soap opera
The 70's were the gastronomic wilderness years in the UK.
Fray Bentos pies, corned beef, spam ffs, findus crispy pancakes if you were posh
Shocking.
