Great British Bake Off Series 3

[Slainte]

I'm so excited, the new series starts next week . Link

DD, 6, was looking at cookery book shelf of our library and yelled look mummy Mary berry!
All hail the fragrant Mary!
Ode to Rob
Let's do the dirty
On the hob,
Rob.
May I lick
Your wooden
Spoon?

Has anyone bought this series' book yet?

I liked it but couldn't really see the point in those comedy presenters. What are their names again? The women with short hair who look like sisters. Couldn't Paul or Mary have done it all or didn't they have enough 'personality' to hold the show together?

We've made it onto Discussions of the Day!

The way I hear it, Paul Hollywood is a terribly nice man, but got hired specifically to play a kind of milder Simon Cowell character on the show, so plays up the piercing gaze and critical comments stuff. Same source says Mary Berry is much the more difficult of the two...

Doesn't surprise me, personally I think she has a whiff of Thatcher about her - she'd scare the bejeezus out of me.

( new fragrance line - Whiff of Thatcher by Lentheric ? )

PMSL @ Lentheric! What a blast from the past...

Oh good grief! Lentheric. I'm fifteen again!

Yes i can see that about M.B. I don't mind soggy bottoms in the least ! Back to the bum theme again eh Msarse that name reminds of that disgusting priest on Father Ted!

Ah, Fr Jack, yet another in the long line of actors who has disappointed me by being dead posh in real life - see also Tucker Jenkins.

Apologies once again for arses, I'm clearly fixated due not to getting any nookie whatsoever at the moment - this is why I'm living for cake action.

Now there's a great actor;one who has no ego whatsoever either that or the producers were threatening him with the sack if he didn't look like he'd rolled in shit all the time is he dead posh? how funny .

Don't diss the silver fox Hollywood. He is seriously fuckable.

And he can bake. What's not to like??

Who dissed Salty Dog ? I would like to sample his baked goods but wouldn't want to make the beast with two backs with him ( it's a beard thing - his, not mine )

You people disturb me.

Yuk yuk yuk to Salty Dog. Anyway he's got to be batting for the other team.

I would do James Martin though, especially if he made me a big cake for afterwards.

Oh no Viking his eyes are gooorgeous and I like his accent very sexy IMO I get weak kneed about guys with green or blue eyes and dark hair like Salty but he is going a little grey now Praps it's the stress of fighting Mary Thatcher Berry Rob fulfils those criteria; bit young though.

James is cute Msarse but a bit puffy for me.

No.
Not James Martin.
He used to wear a bandana, FFS.

coffee I like a man in touch with his feminine side. DS sometimes wears a turban , DH ain't keen TBH

Ppeatfruit - are you telling me that you fancy men with a scouse accent ? Nice eyes but the beard and frankly rectangular physique - nopey nopey nope nope. Still more understandable than anyone fancying the cooking gnome, Worrall Thompson.

I'm afraid the breaking news that James Martin used to wear a bandanna has ruined any chance he had with me - I expect him to be put on suicide watch.

Oh yes think the Beatles et al. Have you noticed that Salty's been on a diet since the last GBBO? He def. looks slimmer.

Worrall Thompson Euch

Got loads of male scouse relatives, ppeatfruit, just sayin' ......

I hadn't noticed that Salty had gone on a diet, I will evaluate him more closely on Tuesday.

Lucky you are they cute?

They do nowt for me but they're faaaaaaaaaaaamily, innit
