4 wide eyed innocent questions for GC women

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.

  1. No of course not. There can be no general agreement on this type of thing.
  2. I don’t think this is a left wing thing. This is how we did it at the queen’s garden parties. The queen wasn’t very left wing and neither were the caterers.
  3. surely you will just make the same species if you are reproducing asexually. I assume by parthogenesis?
  4. depends whether he did a good job

Let us not forget the sisters in Northern Ireland who must not be deprived of a pastie bap, or maybe a wee bit of Veda and cheese.

Or those of us from the Scottish East Coast with our chippie sauce.

I just googled that @StainlessSteelMouse and I approve the adding of the NI sisters' baps to the constitution.

Also, great username.

the rights of all women to have gravy on their chip barm.

My feminism is for all women. Brown bread and mayo with thin chips. White bread, butter and HP with chip shop chips. And yes, gravy. We need to unite with our chip butties, not divide our mayonnaise and gravy sisters. UNITE!

  1. Who was it who said that Northern women were a subset of women like trans women except more aggressive? (I might be paraphrasing a bit). Was Aunt Bessie Northern?
  2. Milk should go in before the tea if pouring from a pot.
  3. Can Brambles change sex?
  4. Probably.

Brambles are bastards. They purposefully grow the other side of ditches with their best fruit just out of reach. They might want to identify as changing sex but we see those fruit…

  1. No opinion on YP, can take them or leave them, haven't had one in years.
  2. Milk always goes in first. Is that even a question?.
  3. Don't get a phylogeneticist started on the matter of species and where to draw the line if you don't have all day (at least not microbiologists).
  4. Dp does keep track of family birthdays but he's the one who remembers the Tribal Pages log in.

It’s a while since I’ve made Yorkshire puddings, but can’t you go too far on the beating & bash all the air out of the batter?

Or am I thinking of meringues?

newtlover · 28/08/2024 15:41

DP says you are being transcondimental

GrumpyPanda · 28/08/2024 15:40

Can we report to MN for derailing if anyone mentions the wird gender on here?

of course you know what proper tea is don't you...

If you are going to start insinuating things like this I am going to have to finish the hoovering flounce

  1. do you steep or brew your tea?

You've left out an option, I have heard tea is 'mashed' in certain areas.

To be fair, from my vantage point 30 foot up the leylandii I was trimming with my chainsaw, I could see he hung the towels up upside down. 😳

Bollocks, you just reminded me I need to trim the leylandii this week - only need a ladder and some long handled loppers for mine though (unless I leave it til next year 😬)

I’m transnortherrnwoman btw - born in the SE but willing to resort to fisticuffs for the rights of all women to have gravy on their chip barm.

That's the sort of question where everything goes silent and people start looking out of the corner of their eyes. Please be careful.....

@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?

Oh dear, I have failed I hang the big towels landscape. I will slink away in shame.

newtlover · 28/08/2024 15:31

inside out is good, avoids fading

I'm southern born but naturalised northern, and can't really make a decent yorkshire pudding- but then I'm in the NW, and vegetarian, so....can I still be GC?

Chersfrozenface · 28/08/2024 15:29

Mine hangs them by the shoulders. That is so wrong, they should always be hung by the hems.

  1. Nah, my gran from the deepest darkest North East made the best Yorkshire Pudding batter and subsequently the best Yorkshire Pudding ever in the whole wide world and all of humanity.
  2. Definitely, abhorrent and a betrayal of the left wing - milk in first is only for those who have tea pots, fine bone china cups and saucers, butlers to serve said tea, aristocratic titles and sip their tea with their little fingers stuck out at an odd angle whilst nibbling cucumber sandwiches.
  3. Don't know don't really care although would be great if they could do something about their thorns - perhaps identify out of having them?
  4. Can't comment as the list of purportedly 'gender non conformist' things my husband and indeed my father, father in law and brother in law do is very long.
