To call dh a ponce over his use of....

[CyberspaceCinders]

pastry forks .......

I mean pastry fork

pastry

not

cupcakes ....

wrong

very wrong

Our DSs know to get the cake / pastry forks out to eat cakes etc with.

well if you are going to have cake/pastry forks in the house then all members of the family should be free to use them without fear of abuse or repercussions.

"well if you are going to have cake/pastry forks in the house then all members of the family should be free to use them without fear of abuse or repercussions."

I agree.

DP also likes to use a fork to eat cakey things.

We don't own pastry forks though. You are the ponce for owning them.

Ah, now where's RatherbeonthePiste when you need her. She knows all about sporks/knorks/spifes/sporfs.

:o

Im not a ponce ....sulk .....

I mean a six foot eight tall man eating a
cupcake with a fork
is

PONCEY

tis ...

Does he also drink his tea from a cup and saucer with his little finger sticking out? a la Hyacinth Bucket?

If so, then he might be a little bit poncey.

If not, then he is merely being tidy and not a slob mucky pup.

Poncey isn't the first word that springs to mind when I think of your DH. OTOH I haven't seen him eating a cupcake...

I've got used to seeing friends eat brownies, muffins, etc. with pastry forks. But I'm not sure I will ever get used to seeing my ILs eat mince pies with a fork (and straight from the case). That is just wrong.

but he is not a tidy clean orderly person

so no

tis very very very very wrong

and mince pies with forks

well
I shall just sweetly .....

oh ps

not a tea drinker ...

no
not good enough

fresh coffee ....

see total ponce...

shrugs

I love pastry forks. But DH would probably not use them. But then, he doesn't really eat cakes!

Well, that's Austrians for you.

Mind you, I think I've been here too long - I just can't drink instant coffee any more (but DH can; sometimes I think he's more British than I am).

6 foot 8, likes fresh coffee, exquisite table manners? Hmmmmm, I feel a bit of stalking coming on. Where do you live Cinders?

lol

Austria ....

What's wrong with using fingers to eat cake?

It's cake, not bloody spaghetti.

I think I am a ponce..
I have pastry forks and I can't even make instant coffee,(everyone tells me it is rubbish when I make it) never mind drink it!
Yet I can do 'Proper' coffee, right to grinding the beans myself if I am with my Dad. Proper coffee is the only coffee for me and decaf at that. :(

Actually this is all my Dads fault, he had me grinding and brewing coffee from such a tender age
