That Nachos were the perfect cinema snack? Have you ever tried to sit through a film with someone crunching beside you?

This guy knew he was hacking me off because he tried to start eating them 'quietly' the cinema was full so I couldn't even move seats.

Why can't they have a non-eating section?

I will not serve spaghetti in this house due to DH being unable to master the wind-the-spaghetti-round-the-fork thingy that I was taught to do when I was about 3, and choosing to shovel long spaghetti into his blowhole and slurp it up instead. So we have to have penne bolognese instead.

Do you dare try our DeciBowls Yard of Papardelle?

It's slurptastic?

cupcakesandbunting · 13/05/2010 15:39

I'll break into DeciBowls and snap all of your long pasta up.

I am craving mash and cheese like crazy now. Thank you very much everyone [contemplates getting mash to eat during afternoon conference call]

pedrothellama · 13/05/2010 15:41

Does anyone deliver mash? Y'know like a pizza

Im going to see Robin Hood tomorrow. Wonder how many odd looks I'll get if I get out my tub o' mash during the film?

cupcakesandbunting · 13/05/2010 15:45

No-one delivers mash as yet, Pedro, but Silent Snacks would like to branch out into delivery one day.

pedrothellama · 13/05/2010 15:46

ABF

We got told off for not being on the Killing the Thread thread and posting here

I posted out of guilt!

AbsOfCroissant · 13/05/2010 15:46

Could you make that "one day" more like "within the next 10 minutes"? I would be forever grateful. I like the sound of the cheese and mash layered bowl. I'll have one of those

cupcakesandbunting · 13/05/2010 15:46

What is this killing the thread thread?

cupcakesandbunting · 13/05/2010 15:47

Where do you live? I could do you one in about 40 minutes, i reckon.

AbsOfCroissant · 13/05/2010 15:49

I'm in London, I'm at work. I don't think anyone will think it's odd if you turn up with a nice hot bowl of mash for me

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/05/2010 15:49

Cupcakes - your DH is like my DP.

He cannot master the winding spaghetti thing. So he does the whole Lady and the Tramp method of eating spaghetti or

pedrothellama · 13/05/2010 15:51

Can you deliver to me first please cupcake - mash with onion gravy, steaming hot

There is a thread where strange weirdos people are trying to be the ones to kill a thread

Ah, I'm near Worcester. We will be branching into London very soon for all your mash requirements though.

Oh no. People who cut up long spaghetti into short bits. This is also very bad. You've done the right thing by banning him from long pasta, GOML. I tell DH that he looks a bit, well, simple when negotiating a plate of spaghetti.

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/05/2010 15:59

Yes, simple is the word. Or actually in reality stop doing that you dim idiot.

OOh Worcester. I am in Gloucester. We could set up our own little cottage business based in the carrot cruchy end of the Midlands. We will end up with an article in Red magazine about mummy entrepeneurs or such guff.

cupcakesandbunting · 13/05/2010 16:01

That sounds amazing, GOML. Can we set up a business making cupcakes?

pedrothellama · 13/05/2010 16:05

I loved the article in Red or whatever shite glossy magazine it was about the poet who lives on a narrow boat.

I nearly threw up over her smug face

I have been on many a thread saying I abominate cupcakes in all their guises (present company excepted).

They are fairy cakes.

I treated myself to a lavender flavoured one once. It was awful. I could have bought a big pack of parma violets and a proper cake for that.

£3 for a cupcake in a poncy cake shop in Cheltenham. Robbing bastards.

cupcakesandbunting · 13/05/2010 16:09

I stopped reading Red because I found it too twee and precious for words. I switched to Easy Living. Oh the IRONY.

I will eat a cupcake and think it is pleasant enough. I will not have an orgasm each time I see a fairy cake topped with teeth-itching buttercream frosting.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 13/05/2010 16:10

Went to see Les Mis the other week at the theatre and the couple beside me got tubs of Pringles and cans of juice out, they managed one Pringle before my look of many daggers stopped them in their tracks!!

pedrothellama · 13/05/2010 16:12

Cupcake - I agree with you, I eat the topping and throw the dried out, stale spongy thing to the birds.

They are right up there with my first experience of a toffee apple, it started off okay until I bit into this bruised, mushy old apple.

The git who sold me that at the fair has never got out of my bastard box. I was six at the time

Pedro - I really did LOL at that

Lucky I am working from home this afternoon.

cupcakesandbunting · 13/05/2010 16:17

You're so right about toffee apples. They're such a disappointment.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 13/05/2010 16:17

sorry, I just read the OP, then interrupted another conversation.
