To be in tears about what Billy Crystal said?

We were on a train and he was really rude about what I’d cooked. It was some sort of cheese casserole. It’s the first time I made it but I thought it tasted ok.

He also took the last seat at the table so I had to sit on my own. He ended up admitting the casserole tasted better than he’d initially thought but it was too late. I was so crushed that I woke up in tears.

I’m no stranger to night time disappointment; Many’s the time I’ve had to have words with DH first thing in the morning because he’s cheated.

But I thought better of Billy.

Absolute ingrate. I’d like to see him do better. Especially on a moving train.

I sometimes have really weird dreams too - usually if I’ve woken up and gone back to sleep. Am glad it’s not just me!

I sometimes think if my weird dreams were ever analysed I’d be locked up!

I had one were I was in a relationship with Harry Styles. I’m 61. He was lovely though. I still feel quite affectionate towards him. And it was a relationship not a sex dream. I woke up feeling all happy.

I was woken this morning by one of my many gloriously detailed dreams about a fruitless search for a public toilet. Once I leapt out of bed and made a dash for the loo, all was well.

Oh I often have that one. One of these days my bladder is going to lose its battle with my brain and I’m going to wet the bed 😕

I once had a (fairly tame) sex dream about Terry Wogan. He was around 60 in my dream, I was around 30 in real life.

Worst thing was I told DH and he still occasionally brings it up almost 20 years later!

Very disappointed with the cheese casserole recipes, they are more like cheese gratin dishes to me. I imagined a casserole full of melted cheese, now I'm crushed 😞. Maybe Billy was right after all!

I was imagining a whole lot of melted cheese too, which I think would go lovely with either part of your username. Yorkshire pudding or French bread.

My sympathies what an arse he is!
Bit worried about Jeremy Clarkson not sure how 'bendy' he would need to be for me to even contemplate that.
Meanwhile - my DH has been driving a digger and making huge holes in our village green, he attracted quite a crowd of very hostile villagers!

Time heals OP. I had a similar traumatic experience a few months ago and can't remember any of the details now. Hugs.

That's your brain protecting itself xo

I’ve just been googling. Apparently cheese casserole is indeed a thing. Have a search and take your pick. There’s one involving broccoli and mushroom soup that I definitely don’t fancy. Maybe it was that one.

I spent the night trying to wash henna out of my hair, it was really caked in and I was worried about the results.

I caught myself looking in the mirror over the sink this morning and actually thinking, "Well, it's doesn't look TOO bad a colour..." 🤡

I really wish there was a laughing reaction button. Some of these are hilarious.

YANBU! My DW cheated on me this week with a celeb I really thought would have been better behaved than to do that kind of thing. It really is disappointing how fame can make people behave anyway they want!

Figcherry · 30/09/2025 09:23

My worst dream wasn't even mine. It was a work colleague telling me that she dreamt I was giving her a smear test!

20 years later and it still makes me feel a bit sick, no idea why she thought she should tell me - weird.

I lost my adult kids in Asda last night. They’d found Lewis Capaldi in the soft drink aisle and were chatting with him about fishing.

I went home without them and my Mum shouted at me and made me go back and get them.

PegDope · 30/09/2025 09:21

Isn’t that just fondue?

Could be worse.

I’ve had a few dreams where I was married to Peter Andre. I can’t stand him IRL. One was a sex dream. It was 5 years ago now and I am still debating therapy as it haunts me.

I once dreamt i gave Donald Trump a bj

Not helped by the fact that when I woke up and told dp,he couldn't stop laughing

Rav wilding (he of crimewatch fame) once took me on a date and shat on my new dress (the one I bought the week before) and tried to rub it in so I wouldn't notice

I did bloody notice and it stopped my crush on him in rl/I never wore that dress

Peter i-love-my-kids andre can get in the bin too

Marrying him would be my worst nightmare (id rather give Trump the bj in rl!)

Am I the only person who has no idea what this is about?

Took me a while and I seem to be the only one who thinks that the idea if a cheese casserole is vomit-inducing.

Deadringer · 30/09/2025 09:17

Billy Crystal is a famous cheesephobe so don't take it personally op. I also now want cheese casserole.

Sunnymysunshine · 30/09/2025 09:16

How many of us have now googled cheese casserole?? It's broccoli cheese sort of isnt it, and you can put bacon in it?? My husband cheated on me last night in my dreams on a video chat, with two of my friends, I saw them talking through a reflection in a mirror in home and bargain! And they bloody admitted it, and we were all dressed for Halloween. Ive not told him yet 🤣

strictlynopolitics · 30/09/2025 09:16

I thought this was going to be an overdramatic being in tears about something really minor but YANBU!

Cheese casserole, though? I mean, I'm obviously in, but .... it is just cheese?

I'm an old school friend of the actress Rebecca Hall, but meeting up with her always makes me feel inadequate, especially as she's now a qualified doctor and will be giving up acting to work in a hospital.

Well, I dreamt I was marrying DH (actually been married 26 years) in a country hotel (nope,it was the local, very pretty Register office) Did anyone see the film "Clockwork"? Everything was going wrong, journey, clothes,there was a stage play going on right next to where I was trying to get changed. People with SA don't normally reach REM or dream..as a veggie, like the sound of cheese casserole.

I've had similar once. I woke up late so no time for a shower. My hair was greasy so I had to just scrape it back with a clip. Couldn't find my wedding dress so wore the bridesmaid dress. No car booked so had to get the bus. Did feel a bit odd waiting at the bus stop and it was cold!

Saw To be in tears about what Billy C in trending and am just relieved Billy Connolly hasn't done anything awful.

I’m more worried what Billy Corgan might say😄

Funderthighs · 30/09/2025 09:12

I’m sorry but I’d really like to hear the other side of the story. It would be interesting to get Billy’s take on this!
