To be in tears about what Billy Crystal said?

We were on a train and he was really rude about what I’d cooked. It was some sort of cheese casserole. It’s the first time I made it but I thought it tasted ok.

He also took the last seat at the table so I had to sit on my own. He ended up admitting the casserole tasted better than he’d initially thought but it was too late. I was so crushed that I woke up in tears.

I’m no stranger to night time disappointment; Many’s the time I’ve had to have words with DH first thing in the morning because he’s cheated.

But I thought better of Billy.

I spent the night trying to wash henna out of my hair, it was really caked in and I was worried about the results.

I caught myself looking in the mirror over the sink this morning and actually thinking, "Well, it's doesn't look TOO bad a colour..." 🤡

I’ve just been googling. Apparently cheese casserole is indeed a thing. Have a search and take your pick. There’s one involving broccoli and mushroom soup that I definitely don’t fancy. Maybe it was that one.

Very disappointed with the cheese casserole recipes, they are more like cheese gratin dishes to me. I imagined a casserole full of melted cheese, now I'm crushed 😞. Maybe Billy was right after all!

Time heals OP. I had a similar traumatic experience a few months ago and can't remember any of the details now. Hugs.

That's your brain protecting itself xo

My sympathies what an arse he is!
Bit worried about Jeremy Clarkson not sure how 'bendy' he would need to be for me to even contemplate that.
Meanwhile - my DH has been driving a digger and making huge holes in our village green, he attracted quite a crowd of very hostile villagers!

I was imagining a whole lot of melted cheese too, which I think would go lovely with either part of your username. Yorkshire pudding or French bread.

I once had a (fairly tame) sex dream about Terry Wogan. He was around 60 in my dream, I was around 30 in real life.

Worst thing was I told DH and he still occasionally brings it up almost 20 years later!

I was woken this morning by one of my many gloriously detailed dreams about a fruitless search for a public toilet. Once I leapt out of bed and made a dash for the loo, all was well.

Oh I often have that one. One of these days my bladder is going to lose its battle with my brain and I’m going to wet the bed 😕

I sometimes have really weird dreams too - usually if I’ve woken up and gone back to sleep. Am glad it’s not just me!

I sometimes think if my weird dreams were ever analysed I’d be locked up!

I had one were I was in a relationship with Harry Styles. I’m 61. He was lovely though. I still feel quite affectionate towards him. And it was a relationship not a sex dream. I woke up feeling all happy.

Funnywonder · 30/09/2025 09:52

Absolute ingrate. I’d like to see him do better. Especially on a moving train.

BitOutOfPractice · 30/09/2025 09:52

You cannot rely on any celebrity nowadays can you. Well fuck you Billy No Cheese Casserole Crystal and thr Train you ride in on.

More cheese casserole for me!

whatevenwasthat · 30/09/2025 09:54

Unreal OP, just unreal.

I'm a bit annoyed myself today. last night my child needed unidentified surgery and when I took him into the the theatre, the doctor was eating a charcuterie board on the bed and was annoyed that I'd bought along some individual cheese chunks from Lidl.

WearyAuldWumman · 30/09/2025 09:56

A couple of nights ago, my prof told me that I had to sit another paper before getting my degree parchment.

When I woke up, it took some time before I remembered that I'm now 65. A bit worried though...can't remember where I put my parchment.

MrsBrambles · 30/09/2025 09:57

You obviously used the wrong cheese. Next time you want to impress Billy go for a dairylee and plastic square cheese casserole with a pringles crust. You'll find it on Nigella's website, it's simple and all done in the micro-war-vey, so super speedy.

Took me a while and I seem to be the only one who thinks that the idea if a cheese casserole is vomit-inducing.

You are not, it sounds gross (Sorry OP!).

To be honest I got my Billy's confused for a second and thought you meant Connolly. I was thinking The Big Yin would never be so rude.

I had a dream once that I was going round a supermarket (not sure my subconscious ever specified which one) pushing a massive trolley with Rick Astley. He was lovely and we had a right laugh. Every time I see him on telly for a split second I believe that we are actual BFFs. Hopefully for both our sakes we never meet in real life.

TonTonMacoute · 30/09/2025 10:03

DH insisted on driving the car through a really busy and congested village, even though he'd gone blind. I persuaded him to let me drive but that meant we had to swap places without letting the frightened cat that was loose in the car, escape!

Earlier I had managed to steal borrow some child's duvet cover, and put the cat in that, but the child's mum insisted on taking it back, even though I promised faithfully to return it. Cow!

PinkArt · 30/09/2025 10:03

Look in Billy's defence did he maybe just not think cheese casserole was a suitable train picnic item? Maybe he'd have preferred a tupperware with a ham sandwich and some Hula Hoops in.

I woke up in a foul mood a few years ago having dreamed that my husband had sold our house and bought another without my knowledge or input. The new house had a pink shag pile carpet in the sitting room, with a huge beaten copper chimney piece. I had to tell him that it would take me a few minutes to forgive him...

Few months ago I had was intimate with Robson Green in my old school form room. Luckily noone else was in the room so it definitely wasn't a biology or pshe practical...

No idea where Robson came from either but he was really rather talented 😳

AccessSaver · 30/09/2025 10:09

As was said in 'When Harry met Sally' -

That's particularly harsh

I'm sure I remember lots of red top tabloid headlines about Robson being a prolific shagger back in the 90s. So he's obviously still got it!

Think I'd have preferred Jerome 🤣.

ScrambledSmegs · 30/09/2025 10:20

Cheese casserole looks an awful lot like cauliflower cheese (but with broccoli etc), aka food of the gods, so Billy can do one. Ingrate.

AnastasiaBeeverhausen · 30/09/2025 08:45

No idea. It looked a bit like Mac&Cheese but I think I’ve read about cheese casserole in novels.

Well YABU because now I really need to have mac & cheese even though it's only half 10.

Sorry about Billy, though. Totally out of order.
