AIBU or is three grand too much for pans?

[GeraldineAubergine]

I went to a collegues house recently to see s

This is the weirdest yet funniest thread I have read in ages.

Well I have text her again and said that although they were really lovely pans I still can't buy them or host a pan party in the near future. I am interested to hear about these vacuum cleaners though. I did bump into the pan lady at a party I was at on Friday but I cut off the pan talk by saying it would be inappropriate to mix business and pleasure. I'm glad you all agree with me, I was wavering a bit, the pans do have health giving properties (allegedly)

"mix business with pleasure" :o genius!

Kirby vacuum cleaners - are they still around? I will google in a minute.
They were quite prevalent in the 1980/90s.
Cost around £2k ( so you would be saving money if you bought one instead of the pans, Geraldine)

The salesperson would come to your home, do the Very Hard Sell and pressure you into signing uup. Part of the hard sell iirc would be putting horrible dirt on your carpet and vacuuming it up. Also vacuuming the mattress.

Geraldine, I think you have a career in stand up.

The pans have health giving properties? This I have to hear! Is there anything on Google about these pans?

This is a bit about Kirby (it's American but they sold them in the UK too)

Ooh I do have quite a dusty mattress. I'm glad my 'p'antics have amused you.

You are Quite, Quite Mad Geraldine! You Must purchase these pans!

Do you not know? They turn, magically, into all singing, all dancing cartoony beings (as typified by a Disney Cinderella...number) when you leave the kitchen.

Meals - all meals - will appear ta darrrrrr daily, and fly effortlessly on to your dining table.

No effort on your part.

Or praps'....not...

OMG my firend had these ppl round, made a cake out of lettuce WTF!

Clearly utter tosh. Buy a Le Cruset set and be very happy with it at a fraction of the price, go crazy and get a range of colours (I favour duck egg and the red heart shape one).

If pans made from gold TOTALLY worth it. Can sell to cash 4 gold and be quids in.

tell her you've been declared bankrupt and can't afford pants, let alone pans.

bringme

Am I missing something?
Admittedly, I'm very a bit thick but that is a lot of money for a pan.

geraldine can you ahve a pan party and invite all of us and we can prepare reasons why we can't possibly buy the pans

"DS is allegic to pans"
"i am forbidden by law to touch cookware"
"my religion uses only ceremonial pans"
" I cannot cook using vegetables in cakes. It makes me cry"
"the word pan sounds too much like pants...it's rude"

Well in the pans favour, they did make some water with bicarb in it taste marginally better when boiled than bicarb water boiled in a conventional £3 from asda pan. Of course I don't regularly drink bicarb and hot water, but if I did these were the rolls Royce of bicarb and hot water beverage producing receptacles.

You may all come to my party though :)

But you can make cakes from lettuce in these pans netto !

(No. I don't get it either)

Ah - that well known cordon bleu classic - boiled water with bicarb! A favourite at all the Michelin starred establishments

Woooo. Pantastic party time

Please, please can you tell us the make of the pans? I'm intrigued.

Why would anyone want to drink boiled water with bicarb from any bloody pan?

So, we now know the drink and cake that will be served (perhaps the bicarb water is to prevent indigestion caused by the lettuce cake)

We now need some games (pass the pancake? Sleeping saucepans?)

Well all the cool kids were doing it Isla
