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.

DH was slightly mean to The Dog last night, I can hardly look at him this morning
Being mean to animals is on my redlines list (along with smoking and a beard).

In fact he is a typical Dog Dad who never wanted one and is now besotted in the Waking world

I've never forgiven Mary Berry for telling me I couldn't make a chicken vindaloo on Bake Off.

My husband wrote a list of all the reasons we shouldn't be together .. it was very vague
1/that thing
2/that other thing
3/what she did

I got up and side eyed RightMove for a Plan B! Poor DH has no idea and would never write such a list.

Bastard.

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.

Was he any good though? It’s often surprising. I had one about Jeremy Clarkson once. He’s bendier than you’d think 😳

Were you expecting him to fake orgasm over your cheese casserole? It’s been about a million years since that scene, and although it technically wasn’t his orgasm I bet he has lost count of the number of people who offer him food and ask to see his sex face. I sort of feel sorry for the celebs who are trapped in a Groundhog Day nightmare of their own making.

I do feel sorry for you, being treated so badly, but just to cheer you up with better news - I won a rosette for correctly guessing my husband's weight! 😄

Oh well done 🤣

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

How do you make a cheese casserole? or is it something that only exists in the Dream Realm?

Also here for the cheese casserole recipe!!!!

Nannyfannybanny · 30/09/2025 08:59

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.

Dolamroth · 30/09/2025 08:58

Well now I've gone right off him. How dare he? I'd like to see him cook a decent cheese casserole on a train fgs. YADNBU

That’s as maybe but I don’t think I’m quite managing to put across JUST how cutting he was. No need for it.

Show quote history

Billy, who is sounding rather nasal but insists he hasn't had a nose job, wanted you to know that he didn't mean to sound cutting, he was distracted by the threat to his colon.

Do you have the recipe please?

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 had a proposal last night from my first ever boyfriend. Several decades too late. I told him to jog on. Funny how he hadn't aged at all though.

Dont be so sure that you'll get over it! John Travolta was mean to me as a child. I don't remember the details but I've never forgiven him.

No idea. It looked a bit like Mac&Cheese but I think I’ve read about cheese casserole in novels.

Something in the air as I'm on my second night of bad dreams. Can remember yesterday's more than todays.
No casserole involved.

I think you are being very unfair to Billy. He may be lactose intolerant and was trying to politely turn down your casserole. Instead you forced him to eat it, which led to his hospitalisation and rumours in the press that he had a nose job. Shame on you OP.

😀

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

Whatareyoutalkingaboutnow · 30/09/2025 08:35

Cheese casserole? Is that like a fondue?
I want one now!
(Always thought Billy looked a bit mean).
