zzzzz would that work with hobnobs, do you think? I do like hobnobs.

I made Pear, stem ginger and golden sultana muffins before I read this thread.

They are lovely.

Yep- Alys Fowler has tweeted a photo and link to the thread. I love Alys.

Hairy! HAIRY!

Where are you? I've had a sleepless night guarding the house against mutant pear baby mice.

I've taken Dd to school but have now realised the school is NORTH of here!

And today's pudding is jam roly poly and custard; not crumble.

Please report back at tell us the mutant pear baby mouse is still in the bin. Or better still, that you burned it, put the ashes in a lead lined box, and dropped it into the sea several miles offshore.

Please.

I chopped up all our remaining peats for a crumble last night. Just in case.

Mignonette · 05/02/2014 10:32

Alys Fowler is on the case isn't she?

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 05/02/2014 10:31

It's not just the pears though.
If Hairy got a fruit'n'veg basket from the " Oh What a Shame " Fruit'n'Veg Company, who knows what kind of contamination could have taken place.

1: that's DH, myself and the guinea-pigs scuppered (all vegetarian)
2: my DS might be right (won't let fruit or veg cross his lips, except Scottish Salad )

I think the damage is done, the pear spores have been released into the fruit bowl, and the rest will soon turn into pear zombies, like this.

Yesterday I went to do my food shop. I hovered over the pears, thought of this thread, and couldn't bring myself to buy any. Hairy you're singlehandedly responsible for a rapid decline in pear sales!!

I had a dream after reading this about spider eggs being in crunchy nut cornflakes ....

Misspixietrix · 05/02/2014 09:43

Grin fellow geek here too Fluffle! Safe from the Angels yes but the Pears. They're on to us you know. one can feel it in them bones of mine Wink.

TheCuntOfPhilomena · 05/02/2014 09:38

Here is the conclusive evidence I have been searching for that fruit is not a food group to be messed with. Never again shall even a raisin pass my lips.

Hairy Do you have your affairs in order?

Flufflewuffle · 05/02/2014 09:38

Misspixietrix, I think we're safe from the Weeping Angels for now. You don't turn to stone if they touch you, you just disappear from this time and reappear in a far earlier one as they consume your time. Not you as such. They turn to stone when you look at them as they're quantum locked.
Yes I'm a huge fan and not a geek at all. Wink

However, you may be onto something else. Something along the Borg, you-will-be-assimilated line. Again with the geekness. Hmm

Hairy, have you checked your DH for any bio-ware/mould-ware additions that weren't there yesterday?? Any suspicious wounds behind his ears or at the base of his neck?
Are you even still all there and unassimilated this morning?

Oh dear, can we trust any responses from Hairy this morning??

Government has started putting these signs everywhere North of the Crumbleline.
