But not for the reasons you think.

I had wind.

Bad wind.

it was squeaky. People turned round. My date was not impressed. Curse you, kale and lentils. Curse you.

Heathcliff,
It's me, I'm windy,
I've just blown now,

Can't ho-o-o-old it,
Let me open a windo-o-o-ow.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Out on the wily, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy

Who risks eating kale and lentils before a trip out ???

Vegans

A wise decision as it could have developed into Wuthering Shites.

That explains things. We thought the nearby Grand Union canal was a bit ripe earlier (we're in Northants). It was YOU!

Shuddering Tights

I had read the other puns, and was working on my own but I can stop trying now. I knew there was one great one floating out there, and you cracked it for all of us! 🤗

MaddestGranny · 21/02/2026 19:46

Sorry about your unruly innards, OP.
I was at the cinema today and saw the trailer of WH.
It looked awful, trash.
Avoid.

Charlize43 · 21/02/2026 19:42

The Independent gave it 1 star and one of the women at work who saw it when it came out said despite all the hype it was shite.

I did wonder why they were doing so much publicity. The last movie I noticed that had that much publicity was Babygirl, and that was crap too.

You are being unreasonable for eating kale. No sane person should eat kale. Kale is the plant form of rubber.

Kale is delicious- especially when crispy!

True. But I’m in Northamptonshire.

We have a family history of IBS and intolerances. I basically survive on potatoes if I am working the next day because they're are about the only thing that dont give me really bad farts.

I stock up on veg the nights before a day off and spend the day cheerfully farting and smelling like a bear pit.

YANBU at all, and if your date isnt understanding then s/he isnt a keeper anyway!

Edited

Hahahaha I do this too. I warn my partner now on the days I wanna splurge on food that he can come round but needs a gas mask

Kale and lentils. You hated them but loved them too?

EdithBond · 21/02/2026 07:02

Two and a half hours is a long time to hold it.

Tell your date you couldn’t take the literary and historic inaccuracies, Brontë must be spinning in her grave blah blah. And the final straw was someone next to you kept squeaky kale farting….
