to start a thread just for non-reporters?

[Hullygully]

So we can relax, enjoy ourselves and say whatever we like without a swathe of meaningless deletions at the behest of a PO?

I've just had chicken soup. My soul is chickeny.

I won't report this thread, but I may make passive aggressive snide remarks to posters I disagree with.

Yes, I mean you. On a Tuesday.

yes cucumber is full of water which makes it close to swimming and before you know it you'll be sneering at SN like Pag.

Peel cucumber?

M&S don't peel cucumber in their salads so it must be wrong.

Someone I know peels mushrooms

I didn't even know mushrooms had a skin to peel

The deli at work peel cucumber. I am in no way responsible for peeling that particular cucumber

What's wrong with peeling cucumber?

I have been known to peel mushrooms, but only when they have been lurking at the back of the fridge for too long.

There is nothing wrong with peeling a cucumber Abs, it just smacks of pretentiousness.

remembers arthriticky knees

aw, you don't need to run. I know it's pretentious. The deli has decided to class themselves up, so have started doing things like peeling cucumbers and serving mooli (I don't know what that is) and throwing balsamic vinegar everywhere. The cucumber eating incident was more desperation and not being arsed to go further to find food. On the plus side, they no longer serve vegetarian options consisting solely of variations on cheese + potatoes. E.g. pizza day, vege option: cheese and potato pizza. Pie day: cheese and potato pie.

I'm not joking.

I like mooli. [weirdo]

I love dd swimming maryz.
It is all healthy and she a) shuts up and b) gets really tired. Both of those are good.
Although on the downside lots of swimming parents are proper mental

Football parents are also mental. To the point of storming on to the pitch or screaming at the coach that their PFB deserves to be captain.

It's actually quite funny tbh.

Me and DH have a little bet before each game which parent will start shouting or arguing first.

I went to watch ds play rugby once. I was STAGGERED by the parents, I had no idea.

I didn't go again, it wasn't helped by the fact that I just wanted to shout NOOO don't go near the ball or those great big mean looking fuckers running at you.

Swimming much better idea.

Oh I don't know. The Griks peel their cucumbers so it must be all right.

I always peel cucumber! If I stopped, I have no idea what my mother would say, should she find out.

Actually, maybe I should rebel. In secret. Obviously.

Yes, I am bran. I thought it might be time for a less dull name, but I think dull rather suits me, it's comfy and easy to remember, so I will probably change back to bran in while.

Yes, I'm still in ROI.

There's a meet up?

But but, it's much harder to say "I agree with mrsbitcharseusedtobebran"

What about us? eh? eh?

Gymnastic parents are the most mentalist.
We have one who glares at me all the time.i don't know what I have done to upset her.
Although she has been wearing a jacket the very colour of diarrhoea for four years now so she may simply have a face which unbeknownst to her,registers her distress at being dressed in pooh.

I was a terrible failure as a gymnastic parent. I couldn't do the hair.

I have exciting news! I've been waiting in today for some parcels. No, that's not the exciting bit. The exciting bit is what came unexpectedly with them. Iceland Bonus Card KEY FOBS!!!! Yay! So that everyone in your family can rack up competition entries !!1eleventy1

You're right, I must be selfless on this issue. I'll change back to bran this evening.

The meet up would have been so convenient for me if I were still in Docklands, never mind.

Yer what? unhappyhildebrand

That ruptures ligaments doesn't it?

I used to be able to do the splits, and I remember the instructor regaling us with Tales of What They Did To Us in The Old Days. That was one of them.

I can't do hair. Poor DD.

She is very bendy though. She really should be able to contort and do it herself.

And hooray to Bran changing back to Bran
