to think that falling in your plate is not on at lunch?

So, Sunday lunch at a friend's yesterday. A couple that we know slightly are also invited. The woman who is very bright and very pleasant for the first hour, drinks so much that she is literally unable to speak (but doesn't stop trying), and we all carry on with lunch pretending that everything is normal and not laughing where she can see.

Is this normal? In any way?

8 large glasses of wine?

Jesus. Right so what was she eating before she stuck her head in it?

BupcakesandHaunting · 10/10/2011 13:26

Hully you are also very sexy. Very sexy indeed. One might say that you are

AmazingBouncingFerret · 10/10/2011 13:27

I'd bite the potato, really fancy some Mcdonalds chips right now...

VampiresWearBlackVelvet · 10/10/2011 13:27

Good job you are not in australia otherwise people would call you a whingeing pomme (de terre)

Hullygully · 10/10/2011 13:27

Speaking as a potato, she had an enormous roast dinner. She is a very big lady too. She didn't actually stick her head in it (tho she has before), but she was dangerously close.

GetOrfMo1Land · 10/10/2011 13:28

I fancy a bag o' mash

BupcakesandHaunting · 10/10/2011 13:28

So a pissant AND fat?

Well, well, well Hully. Never knew you were FATTIST as well?

GetOrfMo1Land · 10/10/2011 13:29

ooooOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo now you come out with it your drip feeder, calling her FAT now.

BupcakesandHaunting · 10/10/2011 13:29

Tub o' mash, GetOrf. Tub o' mash.

ClarenceDarrow · 10/10/2011 13:29

I imagine the pole up my arse makes me irritable, wouldnt you think? Or perhaps a total lack of parents due to alcohol means I am emotonally stunted and childish, who knows?
Or it could be that you are extremely irritating and in the wrong. Take your pick.

VampiresWearBlackVelvet · 10/10/2011 13:29

She's not fattist, I'm fattest Grin

GetOrfMo1Land · 10/10/2011 13:29

What was she wearing? shall we slag off her fashion choices?

AmazingBouncingFerret · 10/10/2011 13:29

Tub o' cheesy mash for me... i'm feeling decadent.

CumbrianCooBeastie · 10/10/2011 13:30

I only joined last week, so am not an 'in' of anything or anyone's. Yet I still think Clarencewhatsit and TheOtherOne are rather bizarre. My bet's a raging hangover because one of them was your lady at lunch yesterday, and the other is her bezzer bezzer mate.

Possibly.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 10/10/2011 13:30

Oh God Yes to the Dislike button.

I would suck snot with a barrier. Like a female condom or loo roll (cheap and therefore thinner would be best).

VampiresWearBlackVelvet · 10/10/2011 13:31

I think option a we should all just try to get on.

BupcakesandHaunting · 10/10/2011 13:31

The pole.

TheRhubarb · 10/10/2011 13:31

And sexist - I mean why mention her gender? Is it relevant?

You wrote the OP so everyone could have a good laugh and eye roll with you and your friend at the woman getting pissed at lunchtime.

Not finding it funny that the woman is pissed in the middle of the day does not equal a humour bypass, it doesn't equal 'a have a go at hully day', nor is it rude and mean that MN has changed.

If you just wanted posters who were up for having a laugh about the woman to reply, you should have said OP.
