Anyone up for a Great British Bake Off Thread? My piping bag is poised!

[Roussette]

That's it really! I love GBBO and I'm sat here waiting....

just wish I had some chocolate to enjoy it with

(I apologise if someone has started a thread, just link me to it and ignore this if so! )

I want to go to the pub with Mel and Sue and chew the fat about GBBO, we'd have a larf I know...

I've just watched Extra Slice and am all caught up.
I'm dieting and save a treat for GBBO. Week 1 was French Fancy, week 2 Viennese Whirl (bought obvs).

Is 7UP a thing for stomach upsets

I was surprised they brought back Rosemary Schrager on Extra Slice - last time it was blatantly obvious that Jo Brand didn't like her. Though she was a bit better this time.

I'm Ireland flat 7UP is believed to cure all ills.

I went to the Cereal Killer Cafe today and Stu was not there!

Actually I didn't like Rosemary Shrager either Ici.

I walked past the Cereal Killer cafe last week on the way to a course and thought oh, that's where this is.

Until then it had only existed on the internet, but now I properly believe it is made of bricks and mortar.

What was on it's menu? Davros and Trills

Cereals, lots of 'em! A huge amount of varieties, mostly American I think. It's silly but it's quite fun and done well. I went to the Camden one which has plenty of space. The three young kids we were with loved it. There are beds with tables inbetween where you can sit, lots of Formica tables, Huygens QA counter (if I'm not mistaken) and lots of cereal memorabilia. I loved Tony the Tiger when I was a kid and he was everywhere. It's amazing what you can do with the stuff no one wanted! I'm not sure most people would go there more than once, I would take visitors maybe.

I'm very late watching these, I came here to see if anyone else thought Sandy was Victoria Woods double, turns out I'm not the only one.

Interesting name, only the Americans would think it was complimentary!

I think silly puns are a very British thing - like a hairdresser being called Curl up and Dye.

Tis a good job I like Mary Berry. She accidentally revealed who is going tonight on Chris Evans radio.
Do avoid the daily fail, they did not add Spoiler until later serves me right for stooping so low

Well that's a bit crap, Slim!
I'm going to avoid socia media now as there's always that one person who will say who it is to be a twat.
I bet Mary had been on the gin before going on the show. You know what she's like.

Thanks for the warning, I'm avoiding reading anything that might give it away!

Here we go - bread week. I bloody love bread.

(is anyone finding MN interminably slow? Wonder if it was because of the problems... pages taking forever to load...)

I just sprinted home from the park with the dogs, forgot bake off was on

I might pass out.

Mats sound really good

Smoked sat and Mexican cheese bread! Omg that sounds heavenly

Thought you'd left the dogs in the park there for a minute

Evening all

God these breads sound delicious

Prison Paul looks nervous!

who should you support?

Apparently I should be supporting Matt -I like Matt

Prison Paul I expect will be good at bread but that recipe doesn't sound right

The dogs jogged along side me, they were alarmed at first as I usually amble along at best.
The jack Russell actually looked around for danger and barked wherefore following me.

Not sure on prison Paul's.
