Would you then go back in time in order to have sex with whomever you liked, even despite their wishes, and then go back in time again in order to reverse the action?
Would you do that? Would that be ethical?
(Yes, I know the obvious contradictions, but ignore them, think about it naively...)
Are you saying that you wish to be a time-travelling rapist?
Why am I not surprised...

With the number of passengers sailing, it is probably important to attempt to appeal to the "taste buds" of the various cultures. There was English night, Indian night, Caribbean night, etc and even cultural differences offered in breakfast foods. The things that caught my attention were mostly what the ship referred to as "English". Yorkshire pudding is not pudding as I know pudding to be, it is bread. Hmmmm.... At breakfast, the entire 13 days, they offered bangers and English bacon. I tried these offerings just to say I tried them, bangers appeared to be nothing more than a pork sausage link on steroids. A bit longer and so much more plump than an "American" link of pork sausage. I can't say that I didn't like the banger, but I preferred our pork sausage to a banger as it seemed that our sausage had more flavor. Then there was the English bacon, there was nothing bacon like looking about it in size or appearance. It was about 1/4 inch thick and appeared to have just been sliced from a pork roast. Although I tried some of these different cultural dishes, for the most part, I enjoyed the amazing fresh fruit, yogurt and cheeses for breakfast.
When staying in hotels in England, there is the 'Full English' breakfast, to see you through the day if you don't get any lunch. This is why English people are on the cruise - "You can't beat a 'Full English!'"

When in France, say, there is the 'Continental Breakfast': fruit, croissant, jam, pain au chocolat, cheese.

I quite like a croissant when in France, but for a camping breakfast it's usually a baguette and jam.

Fresh bread three times a day for the French, because the bread is rock hard after a couple of hours. They have bread with every meal.
This cruise always had cooked or sauteed mushrooms at the breakfast buffet and the grilled tomato, too. As much as I enjoy mushrooms in my salad or with a steak, I did not eat them for breakfast. As for the grilled tomato, uh-uh, no way! I love tomatoes but not squishy, cooked tomatoes.
The fresh fruit was AMAZING! I wonder how many watermelons, cantaloupes and there was a tasty light yellow melon were brought aboard to be able to serve us fresh fruit every day?
The ship also seemed to cater to the Asian passengers offering a morning noodle dish, a rice dish and if I'm not mistaken, pao, which looked like a dinner roll.
Can't wait to have my English breakfast tomorrow morning and my Chinese breakfast next week in China.

This is what I had for breakfast today in China: jellyfish

And a lot of other strange things.
Tofu, yes, tofu and chicken, no. They have no concept of Vegetarianism, or, to put it simply, no meat, no fish.
Just like Chinese restaurants here in UK

Besides, why couldn't a vegetarian eat jelly fish? In my opinion, it's almost like a vegetable. It's a very rudimentary life form and, from an ecological point of view, it makes sense to eat it. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I think.
Chinese pussy
for breakfast.
I did that today.
"Rolls , crisps , doughnut , choc biscuit , pieces of tablet & my juice".
We both speak English yet the only thing that I recognize is the doughnut and possibly the chocolate biscuit. I assume that a biscuit might be something like a plain cookie-ish type thing, possibly similar to a biscotti. Whatever it all is, the "lunch" sounds like carb overload.
The biscuit thing and how you define them is the only thing that i can never work out properly. From my experience of being in the US and cooking, your biscuit is our savoury scone or dumpling - the thing you would put in, or dip into a stew or casserole to adsorb the jus (for the English, a Yorkshire Pudding would be similar)
I was confused about what the lunch was all about and this was my understanding which I sent to him; "Rolls, like something you would apply some butter to and eat with dinner? Crisps, like potato chips? I understand doughnut. Chocolate biscuit is probably a cookie of some sort and I have no idea what a tablet is."
He responded with this; "Rolls are bread but not bread & yes butter & a filling yes chips tablet is sweet v sugary & yeh youre almost correct but not a cookie 😊x"
So my guess was close but not 100% and it still sounds like "tablet" is something food item, not medication.
When I think of a "roll", I think of a dinner roll. I completely "forgot" about a good sub, not anything Subway offers, there are some old time delis that will make subs where YOU decide how many layers, YOU pick your meats, YOU pick your cheeses and YOU decide if you want it assembled on a "hard or soft ROLL". I do like hard rolls in that scenario. I guess I can see the similarity between a biscuit and a scone although I've gone to a several teahouses and what they serve as a scone, I much prefer over a biscuit.
I'm Australian and have never been to the UK but have been to the USA on several occasions, only reason i know...the Brits might have some things they call different names to what we call them though? "Tablet" may be what they call a savoury cookie (that's merely a guess though)?
We call what you call dinner rolls dinner rolls too - we just don't really split different shapes/sizes of 'rolls' into categories...unless you buy them from a French deli/cafe and then they are batards or baguettes (coz that's just the name the French give to those types of bread); or an Italian deli/cafi and we call them paninis.
There's also Greek/Turkish/Lebanese/etc yeeros/gyros/doners/kebabs (but even "kebab" has different meanings here - it can mean meat and/or vegetables cooked on a skewer or a gyro/yeeros/gyros/etc) - some places call them rolls too to Anglicise. Logical as they are a sandwich that is rolled up in thin bread; but very different to the other rolls i/we mentioned. Then there's a Californian Roll which is just a big roll of sushi that hasn't been cut into pieces like you'd usually expect sushi to be served...
I think the most simple way to describe a "roll" is: a sandwich within a piece of bread of any kind that hasn't been split all of the way through
Hmmm... I've only been to New York City on a layover but I'm certain there's a lot to see and experience.

A stuffed roll, batch, cob:

Tasty
Now, what do you call "pills"? As far as I'm aware, there are tablets and capsules.
And let's not forget there is a writing tablet. Geez, now I fricken understand why people say the English language is difficult to learn.
Now, I'm sure that there are more missing than these two but if someone can swing by and check on Mazinga and Yimmy , I would be a happy camper!
How'd you straight link the member's nick in, b! ?
Swing by and say "hello", I'm sure he will respond as soon as he catches his breath and gets a free moment.
WELCOME BACK, ROADGUY, WELCOME BACK!
There's a contest called "kinky, freaky, extreme and as weird as possible" and one of the entrants, member #572626, submitted a picture of a naked man with a strap around his neck tied and hanging from the bar above. My assumption is that the member was swiftly deleted by admin.
