<insert suitable punishment here>

[heQet]

I know how some of you don't like to see threats of violence in thread titles, even jokingly, so I'll let you all make up your own.

I have cooked duck for dinner/tea/supper/evening meal/whatever it's bloody called (damned MN has me so confused these days!)

I told Himself we were having duck. When he came in, he asked me if the chicken was ready. It's duck, I reminded him. And it's in the oven. It's done. He can get it when he wants. Oh yes, he said, duck.

So then later he said to me "Where's the chicken?"

IT'S BLOODY DUCK!!!!!! And it's in the oven. Where it was last time you asked.

AND IT WAS DUCK THEN TOOOOOOOOOO!!

Come on, how hard is it to remember. Duck. Not bloody chicken. And it's in the damned oven.

WTF?

do you have duck often ?

Mmmm....chicken...

so how was the chicken

[slap with wet fish duck]

Slapupsidethehead.

But it's a well known fact that ducks turn into chickens when put in the oven, they are also known to hide too, so clearly he was covering all bases.

snurk @ "Himself"

DH likes duck, I can't bring myself to eat it just keep thinking of the nice fluffy ones we feed at the park.

You lot are rotten, you know that?

sea, once every few months.

Now that we are back up here I can ask for it! When we lived dahn saaarf I went to the supermarket for it, couldn't find it and asked an assistant. Who gave me face and said "what?" so I said again "duck." "sorry" she said "never heard of it"

duck?

So I said "duck, you know, quack quack" and for some unknown reason, flapped my arms.

"Ahhh" said she, "DACK. It's next to the chicken."

atwork - you'd hate me then, I served rabbit casserole and told my sister it was lamb.

Oh yeah insert duck punishment.

Himself to do washing up himself?

EWWWW

Them poor fwuffy bunnies.

Quite like lamb though noisy feckers things

dook? erm.

no, don't think so. I say duck. d-uh-k.

yes, atwork. potwashing duty sounds fair.

ooh, am I posh then? Good-oh.

was the chicken good then???

yeah yeah, I know, has been said already, bored now!!

maybe the chicken was sending out vibes to your DH to get him to change it to a higher status in death

maybe he couldn't give a duck.

mwah-hah.

I'd have wanted to get a chicken and ram it where the sun doesn't shine

How was your poultry meal by the way?

I'm sitting here going:

Duck
Dack
Dook

I'm sure I have better things I should be doing

edgar. If he asks me about the damn thing one more time I shall tell him to duck off!

psycho . shouldn't you be resting?

diff, it was lovely, thanks.

crap, I did too. I am sure his nibs thought I was having a funny turn.

He has just said he is going upstairs to lie down and watch the news for a bit.

I am reasonably sure the two are unconnected...

generaly at all innuendoes and problems saying duck.

However, I agree Heq it is BLOODY annoying when they do this. DH does it too sometimes - I am more sarcastic than you.

Lamb for dinner -
him - when's the beef ready?
me - I don't know, are you cooking some beef?
him - isn't that what we're having?
me - well DS and I are having lamb, since that's what I'm cooking - I wasn't aware of any beef being cooked but perhaps you have a secret oven somewhere?
him - mumble mumble grump - oh all right when's the bloody lamb ready then?

but also

Has he gone quackers?
