Thought I'd open up in anticipation as I have Fat Club tonight so may miss the very start.

I was going to suggest a drinking game. Take a swig every time Greg(g) gurns to camera but we would all be pissed in the first 3 minutes.

The hormones are running high on this thread tonight!

Usually it's just me getting hot and bothered over moody Marcus.

And bingo to Squoosh. (Me and ds reckon after his parting shot he opens a restaurant)

You can tell he's a bit of a numptie. He talks as though he's hosting a lunch time quiz show.

Oh yes Marcus, not my cup of tea but I understand completely squoosh, wonder will he make an appearance, I hope he does, you deserve a little treat

Right choice I believe, thanks for the giggles everyone, I'm off to criticise the crap out of my kitchen rules now

Did anyone else notice when Gleb was cutting up the "Russian sausage" for his Russian salad that it looked EXACTLY like Spam?

I had Russian Salad from a tin in the 70's Hearts. I'm pretty sure it didn't have meat product in it . I have also had Russian Salad at (P)Rick Steins bistro. It was DELICIOUS! It had smoked sausage (or spam) and cornichons along with the other bits.

Tinned salad! The 70s was a strange old time wasn't it?

Heinz tinned potato salad, just remembered that

Yep I thought it was spam hearts, looked exactly like it.

I've got a Russian friend who makes Russian salad. No soft sausage in it and no fecking around with spring onions etc. I wonder if it's favoured on the traditional Jewish menu as DH's sisters say it was his favourite when he was young. I think there's a version called Israeli salad.
I remember the Heinz tinned one and the potato salad from the 70s. Not sure I ate it though, too busy with Angel Delight and Toast Toppers

Ooh yes Davros tinned potato salad! It was very tart as I recall .

And toast toppers. Mmmmmmmmm.

The 70's were a strange time indeed squoosh!

Are we all present and correct, notes will be required from parents of absent or late telly watchers

Here, miss

Also here!

Good you're on time, you're my favourite now Halsall

This relay round will be fun according to the bbc

Yes miss, thank you miss

Squoosh, you just missed the bell but I'll let you away with it this time

I'm here, but I'm halfway through an episode of The Killing on Netflix, so may drift off if the non-entities celebs start to bore me ...

Gleb is going to come monumentally unstuck now he can't make up his Russian tradition bollox methinks

Sorry June, I won't have any daydreamers on my watch, detention for you I'm afraid

Actually watching live for a change - Audrey thinking the rhubarb was red celery

Think you're right Halsall

Audrey, autocorrect slipped that one past me.

Sally I thought I was going mad when I saw that, I mean seriously, have they no cop on at all

I never could get away with bunking off at school - the one time I tried it I got caught

And again, I swear, it's Audley!
