4 wide eyed innocent questions for GC women

214 replies

KielderWater · 28/08/2024 15:12

  1. Do you believe all GC women agree that northern women make the best Yorkshire pudding batter due to their aggression?
  2. I know a left wing woman who thinks the milk should go in before the tea, is this abhorrent behaviour a left wing thing and will you disassociate yourself from the left because of it?
  3. Brambles mostly reproduce asexually. How many subspecies do you think there are?
  4. Is my husband gender nonconformist because he hung up the washing? Should I be worried he might start keeping track of the family’s birthdays next?

Happy to answer your questions too.

I have no comment whatsoever on pegging.

Ooooh Matron!

@KielderWater upside down is fine, as long as he isn't wasting line space by hanging them landscape instead of portrait. How is he hanging T shirts?

I hang my towels landscape.

It’s the only way I can get the line low enough for me to reach it, without the big towels dragging on the grass.

I don't like Yorkshire puddings or tea. I have no opinion on brambles and I don't have a husband, nor am I seeking one.
Am I still allowed to be part of GC Club or will I be expelled? I'm still waiting for the boatloads of right-wing cash that are supposed to be funding my part in the movement. If you could save my expulsion until after I get my cheque, it'd be much appreciated. Ta.

I bookmarked some of the recipes on that thread. I've never bookmarked before. How do you find your bookmarks? It was after the initial deleting of recipes, so I hope they're still on the thread.

I'm concerned the previous innocent wife-eyed questioner was an AI learning bot that will now tell everyone that GC women are hostile to rock cakes and believe jam drops to be perverted cross-dressing jammy dodgers.

I got strong AI learning vibes from that thread too. I gave up on it fairly early on. Was there any evidence of cake-based learning as the thread progressed?

Where did you get extra questions from, rufus?

  1. Well surely this must be true!
  2. Absolutely!
  3. Have no idea, but apparently they allies! http://webidguides.com/_templates/treegroup_rubus.html
  4. You should check to see if he is wearing marigolds while hanging up the washing. If not, then you embrace that man's non-conformity!

As a gardener I would like to raise awareness of the horrific behaviours of nettles Not only are they tall and stingy they propagate by flower heads AND Rhizomes.

The flowers don't really look like flowers at all, just green bobbly bits.

However the underground activity is startling, once settled in they send rhizomes everywhere, and before you know it you have a field of stingers. In your borders.

So when some gardening programme tells you to have a nettle corner, ignore them, they are fibbing to you. They will just get everywhere.

as many of you may have noticed they like to hang out with brambles.

EdithStourton · 28/08/2024 18:09

I am most definitely southern. And then some more. By my late FIL, born in t'north, said my Yorkshires were excellent.

The recipe was from Sussex, which discombobulated him a little.

Where does that leave me?

Yours,
Currently nursing a bramble injury and whose DH is sorting out the next meal.

Seadragonusgiganticusmaximus · 28/08/2024 18:02

Horrified by all the comments about using pegs on T-shirts. Everyone knows that T-shirts are given 10 mins in the tumble dryer to get the creases out and then hung on specially purchased plastic hangers and put on a clothes airer.

Mrs Maximus has made it very clear that use of any other method is a 3-strikes-and-you’re-LTB’d offence.

A thing les Belges are right about: mayonnaise on chips.

As an immigrant I don’t feel qualified to comment on northerners, or tea, but I do bloody love you lot!

What did you have on your chips?

And we love you too!

Chip condiments - where do we stand on Poutine? Can the once-great nation of Canada be redeemed?

BabaYetu · 28/08/2024 17:50

Magnolias are properly ancient - like sharks!

  1. yes, it's the unquenchable rage that makes our Yorkshire puds rise well
  2. I don't care, I prefer coffee
  3. Asexual reproduction is the future! 999/1000 stick insects are female and reproduce successfully; does that mean if I go on a crash diet, so can I (if clownfish can be co-opted into justifying human lifestyle choices, why can't stick insects?)
  4. As long as he's pegging them out at all, you've got nothing to worry about. It's those mimsy ones using a tumble drier on a good drying day you need to worry about

Tea is disgusting
The north starts from the Tamar, it's all called upcountry
Yorkshires are best when they are stodgy, I don't want it to be mostly air

Burn the witch!

I'm as far from a nerd as can be, but when I skim read articles like that one about the magnolias, I can fully understand why some people become utterly obsessed with brambles or magnolias, or beetles, etc. The more you find out, the more astonishing it gets.

throwinthetowel · 28/08/2024 17:39

Bannedontherun · 28/08/2024 17:34

I have a magnolia it flowers before it has any leaves.

Waitwhat23 · 28/08/2024 16:10

I've always been fascinated by how magnolias pollinate - they existed before bees so developed to be pollinated by beetles

Mind blown!

I've seen 'samosa butties' for sale in the Midlands. I guess that's fusion?

Show quote history

That sounds great. I feel inspired to try one.

I have coloured pegs I ensure that there is no colour mixing of pegs on individual garments.
