People who are doing it WRONG

My Dad loves to talk about how he enjoys a good barbecue in this weather, once he even invited a lot of family round for one.

His version of a BBQ is a George Formby grill (natch), and in nice weather he plugs it in outside to cook a burger or sausage on. He is quite evangelical about how clever it is to barbecue that way.

It gives me the gritted teeth rage.

Anyone else who is doing it ALL WRONG? Offload here Brew

Oh, I have another odd one my partner does. He won't have gravy with a Sunday roast. Not even at Christmas. He actually has ketchup with his Xmas lunch, that's a special kind of wrong, isn't it?

Swivel all the way (I'm not saying it's easy!) mine are.. err.. well used (both the boobs and the bras) and if I try to do up at the back then they won't go round as the dangling boobs are in the way (plus the ping when I let go before it's latched properly really hurts.

If we're going to have this new regime, can I suggest that we up production of front fastening bras for all of us hapless swivellers?

What if one was to put her bra on the right way round...but upside down, and then flip the cups up?? That's acceptable yes? Hmm

Paddington crisps on top of pasta bake, especially tuna, is essential!

LadyPlumpington - the alternative would surely be to put on nice clean uniform and then spill milk, dribble toothpaste and brush hairs onto it?

You'd think so, yet the teacher asked my class (aged 8) what we all did in the morning and every bugger there got dressed first. I was roundly mocked. not bitter

Crisps upside down = wrong.

Butter on weetabix/yorkshires = mega-wrong.

A friend this weekend told me that she used to eat weetabix with marmalade Confused

We all eat breakfast in pyjamas! DC ask for food before anything else and I'd rather wash worn pyjamas than try to get milk off clean clothes. Teeth cleaning is the last thing before we leave the house.

wixing butter and bread were made to be together!

What are your thoughts on spreads??

When we first met, my partner would make cheese on toast, only toasting one side of the damn bread Shock Idiot.

I think he learnt it from his mother, who does EVERYTHING wrong.

Said MIL once enquired where I kept the 'serving spoons' (for dishing up the chinese takeaway. WTAF?) On discovering we had none, she did this thing where she used a pair of ordinary spoons to portion out each dish. She used 10 spoons in all. The rest of us just shoved stuff on our plates with a fork. You know, like normal, non-anal people.

Fraggle, I'm actually reproducing with this man Confused. I love him dearly, but a few things are going to change before baby arrives - don't want these awful habits being passed on! The words 'pass the ketchup' will never again be uttered over Jingle Bells in my house.

...and DH hangs the laundry on the line wrong too. I blame his mum. He leaves great big huge gaps, doesn't double up and use one peg between two. Anyone would think we were made of pegs...

My friend butters the inside of her toasties but not the outside.

What is the point in that? You butter the outside FFS!

And bluebananas DS tried that once.... once....

I have been known to stare in horror at students eating kitkats or worse - twix together. It'd just not the done thing. Kids these days have no respect.

And yes, all of you bra swivellers, dislocate or be damned forever...

DP used to slice up frankfurters, mix them with a tin of vegetable soup and call it a casserole. I soon stopped that I can tell you!!

Gerrrrr-outa-my thread. Don't start sloshing sauces around willy nilly. A separate spoon stops foods mooshing.

I do not wish to express my opinion on spreads as we are in sane company (bar the swivelers that it)

Butter on bread are indeed made to go together. Though they are a pure union and should not be forced into such depravity as being involved in a sandwich together.

My BIL had a barbecue for a house warming party (rented!).

He got impatient, threw fuel on it and burned down the fence.

Don't get much wronger than that ????

Oh God, one last one about my very odd partner - until he met me, he'd never ever eaten beans on toast. In over 25 years, as a British born (british heritage) person, ever. He found the whole concept odd. I basically had to sit on him and shove some in his gob to try it (not our most romantic evening).
