To wish the Ice-Cream man would fuck right off?

I'm on the phone this morning and the fucking ice-cream van comes blasting down the street. My hard of hearing mother shouts down the phone "WHO'S THAT SINGING IN THE BACKGROUND???" and I couldn't speak to her because she couldn't hear me over the siren thing. I had to call her back.

Then tonight, I'm watching the news and the fucking thing comes creeping down the road again, FULL BLAST, I miss the news, go to the window to see gormless fucker hanging out of the van window with his stupid white suit on and crap hat, grubby little hands all over. It pisses me right off. I think they should be banned. Or at least have their tires slashed.

And don't even get me started on the ones that park up outside school gates at 3pm.

I always read it as Hecate the Easter Bunny, so that's why it didn;t make any sense!

HecAteTheEasterBunny · 07/04/2009 21:13

Yes, it is Hec ATE The Easter Bunny, that's why the capital A in Hecate.

There's not much else you can do with Hecate, 'cept eat stuff

our one sells more than icecream or so local gossip goes...hence the fact he is out at 9pm!

You`re all soooo funny..pmsl!!!

sagacious so does ours. You can almost feel the parents in the close cringing and pricking up their ears for signs of stirring from their kids.

Someone must be buying icecream at 8pm though as he's been coming for 3 years now.

Great thread title by the way

Gentle · 07/04/2009 21:52

Hadn't thought of that possibility noonki.

Might explain why ours plays Greensleeves at about 200 bpm though...

Until very recently my kids thought an ice cream van meant the alien hunters were searching for aliens who were drawn out by the ringing noise (non scary cuddly aliens obv)

Damn my aprents and their evil ice cream buying antics, foiled again

I buy icecream at 8pm sometimes - the timing is just right for a desert - finding that we have an icecream van stopping outside our house was one of the nice surprises when we moved in. And the nice ice cream man gave me free ice creams to replace the ones I dropped in the road even though it was totally my own fault and I was going to pay for more.

You sound a sweet soul OP. Glad I'm not hateful like you. Those "grubby" ice cream people are trying to make a living like the rest of us.

You wouldn't want to be married to my dh then with his grubby hands touching you after a day on the farm, especially when he's just lambed a sheep and had to deal with that mucky afterbirth.

Hockins icecream in Devon is to die for.

See now I want icecream
