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.

At least he didn’t throw you off the train….

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

rainbowruthie · 30/09/2025 09:36

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.

Yanbu at all babe, what a dick xx

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.

Knittedfairies2 · 30/09/2025 10:04

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.

HannahHamptonsGloves · 30/09/2025 10:24

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.
