Chill pill? Na, a nice hot chocolate but there's no milk about. Shame I don't have a cow.

louise999 · 02/10/2010 23:49

Rollmops · 02/10/2010 23:49

Why does the OP conjur an image of a gray little whingey mouse-like creature typing furiously in a dank corner somewhere...
Yickkessss....
Oh, YABU, of course, OP.

Duno. I thought we all needed to chill. I'm just a lazing on the sofa.

Valpollicella · 02/10/2010 23:50

Do I?

I'm not un-chilled. Whereas you have chosen to ignore what I posted.

Again, why decry another woman as bovine, a derogatory term?

Hedgeblunder · 02/10/2010 23:50

I don't think scoffing is good role model behavior, I think it's sad

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 02/10/2010 23:50

You don't need to chill Val, you are cool enough Wink

jtop · 02/10/2010 23:51

kikid · 02/10/2010 23:51

well i think she's a lovely woman, all curvy & loves food, just as it should be.

i hate thin women, so false & unatural..

Great recipes..

poshsinglemum · 02/10/2010 23:51

Eh? rollmops is a great name.

louise999 · 02/10/2010 23:55

Valpollicelli you obv have some kind of admiration to cows as I do bunnies but you have to admit bovine is funny! Maybe its the way she eats!

Hedgeblunder · 02/10/2010 23:55

Pleeeease let's not make this about fat vs thin

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 02/10/2010 23:58

It's darn nasty to refer to any woman as a cow, don't we get enough shit?

jtop · 02/10/2010 23:58

Well people. I think we have to agree to disagree on the Nigella Question. I suppose she's a bit like Marmite. (I mean in the sense that you either love her ro hate her, not in the sense that she is anything to do with beef, she quickly adda before any of the Worshippers get on my case again ) :)

OP posts:
Rollmops · 02/10/2010 23:59

But it's not, iz all about sad lonely anti-bovine OP, isn't it.

oliviacrumble · 02/10/2010 23:59

I think she is twee and arch, her recipes are indeed hit and miss, and I loathe all that 'sexy' gurning she does for the camera.

However I have all her books and find her strangely compelling - her books are probably the ones I turn to most often in the kitchen.

Do you remember her first Tv show, when there was all that controversy over her wearing a denim jacket while cooking?

She now seems to make a point of wearing one in every series...

I see what you're saying Louise, but it really isn;t nice calling another woman bovine.

I;d be upset if that were me. Wouldn't you be?

I would just like to make it plain that I have nothing against her size or her love of food. I - personally - myself - find her annoying.
