To want unauthorised children's leave spaces to go to the next place in the queue?

[angelos02]

If you value your children's education so lowly, I assume you don't mind their space being taken?

I live very close to an apple cider mill, where they make fresh cinnamon sugar doughnuts every day in the fall. They are the kind with a hole in and are crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle, just like traditional English ones.

If I walk there and back (it's a mile each way) then the calories don't count, right?

And if you eat them standing up I think you're into negative calorie consumption, so you can't lose.

I've just reminded myself of the joys of cool creamy custard straight from the packet on hot jam tart. Delish.

Surely the churros are for Spanish fairgrounds?

Just curious OP and others, but how do you find out about MN before having children? My radar would never have picked up on such a site in my life BC. (I'm Sure I got my MN password with bulk order of pampers. As for being interested in all things parental, well that only came with practice....)

It bothers me because I hoped I would have more peace on the plane by booking non term time holiday flights. Obviously my destination holiday is non children but I hoped the new legislation would mean kid-free flights. Babies on planes are a chav territory altogether.

Are you on glue?

Babies are under 5 they don't go to school.

Doughnuts, yes to any sort. Christmas pudding no fucking way. Hideous stuff, even with custard.

Er, babies are too young for school .

My favourite high calories sugar coated treats are Auntie Annie's cinnamon pretzel sticks. Yum.

No. Not on glue. I would have...sorry, I mean would 'of' to suit the vernacular of the average Mumsnet type, thought my ideas were very cohesive.

'My holiday destination is non children'

Enjoy your break at Hedonism Op

Or will you be cankle flashing at Lourdes

Also when did/are you travelling as DS' school is on halfterm at the moment so we flew this pm. Or is your complaint just in general.

I really like bread an butter as a snack

Mine are missing 4 days in June next year - I couldn't give a tiny rats left one if anyone else disapproves - I regret nothing

But why are you so bothered about the school places issue? Fair enough that you would prefer to travel at a time when you are unlikely to encounter schoolchildren but the rest of your argument is a little, well, non-cohesive confused.

Shelling peas- you need some good homemade Xmas pud to change yr mind!

I'm sure your ideas are cohesive - in your own head.

OP you appeared to have sobered up.

Or maybe not?

I used to like custard doughnuts until someone up thread likened it to squeezing a zit.

Krispy Kreme Lemon ones are my absolute favourite.

And it's cold double cream on warm Xmas pud. But I also make a sticky toffee pud for Xmas day.

HTH.

Op surely if you are going non term time you will be going in the school holidays.

Making this whole thread utterly pointless.

Much like the op whose snide "would of" comment hasn't gone unnoticed

Churros need to be eaten at Christmas markets in towns all over the UK whilst listening to Slade on repeat. Obviously.

Rugbyscrum, it's been so long I can't remember how I found it.

I stayed because there was plenty of interesting, intelligent and witty discussion. And then the penisbeaker happened...

It bothers me because I hoped I would have more peace on the plane by booking non term time holiday flights. Obviously my destination holiday is non children but I hoped the new legislation would mean kid-free flights. Babies on planes are a chav territory altogether.

Alas no, OP. You don't get to quaff your sherry in peace even in school term time: Children under five years, home educated children up to 18 years, and lastly then those pesky, delinquent school truants.

I like the cut of your jib, Angelo.

Where you you stand on Christmas pudding accompaniments?

Howling at "cut of your jib" not heard that for ages! Also the similarity between zit squeezing and custard donuts

I'm still not with you OP. Well, I say that, I'm trying to make sense of your posts but they're (I think) a bit all over the place in a "I'm trying to sound clever by being a bit wordy" Have a good holiday though.

I'm off to google "churro"

I've just remembered something else my parents did on Christmas pudding. White sauce. Kind of like custard without the colour or the flavour. It seemed a bit heinous to me and definitely didn't go well on syrup pud, which I usually had instead of the dead fruit stuff. (I don't do dead fruit.)

OP, enough with the "average Mumsnet type" if you please. "Would of" seems to be rapidly taking over from "would have" as a national or internet thing, as some people type what they think they hear ("would've") and many many others just pick it up without thinking at all. The more they see it the more they accept it (like those infuriating stray apostrophes). I've seen threads on Mumsnet fighting a rearguard action against this creeping corruption to the language, but I fear it may be too late. It's not "vernacular", nor is it evolution, it's ignorance, although a lot of the people who use it have interesting things to say so I try not to sweat it. Knowing the language inside out (and how to spell "vernacular") does not in itself render views worthy of respect. Look at me: I just typed a really long paragraph in beautiful English, with long words 'n' everything, but it was boring and pointless. There's a lesson in there somewhere.
