I started a couple of last year's GBBO threads so I'm hoping you're all still nice! I'll help Kitty with the drinks too

Well I just rocked up and parked myself here and everyone's been very nice to me. Of course they could all be slagging me off on another thread 😱

No, we’re all bastards on here. We’d use your custard or take your ice cream out of the fridge as soon as look at you. 👀

MelonBuffet

😂😂😂

Ooh I adore Stephen Mangan and everything he’s in

Must watch Extra Slice.

Anyone seen Hang Ups? It’s on C4 - can watch all series on All4. Funniest thing I’ve seen on telly for ages.

No derailing Taffeta!

But the question is... will you make me an amazing bread lion to make up for it?

Oops sorry yawning

I’m shit at bread, soz

Extra Slice was great last night,

I’ve applied for tickets but naturally I am in a lottery I will probably lose

Still adoring Kim-Joy and I absolutely LOVE Karen although I see she is a bit Marmite for people..

I really like all the remaining bakers and don’t want any of them to leave.

Breastmilk cheesecake. Just... WHY?

... and re the great mousse /blancmange debate, I think a mousse doesn't have to have egg in but does have to be airy, while a blancmange is an opaque jelly so more solid than a mousse. But am open to other suggestions.

Breastmilk cheesecake

I commented to DH that we'll happily consume cow/goat/sheep breastmilk in various forms and we're fine with that but our own is somehow disgusting. He'd never thought of it that way.

Conditioning, innit.

I laughed when they all wanted to try the cheesecake but then Jo said they didn't have time. It was so clearly because someone had just shouted in her ear, "DON'T LET ANYONE EAT THE BREASTMILK!!"

And I've finally decided it's Karen I dislike the most. She should have gone this week but didn't because they were doing the playing fair thing; she had better be one of the two out next week or I will have the same rage I did over Stacey.

Bishy Breastmilk cheese cake why? Why not?

Yes Lemon I bet that happened

I got that too Lemon all of them stopped from eating breastmilk cheesecake.

And I can’t help it, I just adore Karen she makes me laugh so much with her raised eyebrow.

I tweeted her to ask if she was actually watching as not everyone likes seeing themselves on TV and she says she is glued to it and doesn’t remember saying half the stiff they have shown. She did say that last weeks bake off was an absolutely dreadful one for her but I did like her signature dish.

Hello yawning lovely to have you here.

Take your shoes off - you can put your feet on the furniture if you like - and hep yourself to nibbles.

No Bishy - the distinguishing quality is that mousse is luvverley and blancmange is complete and utter shite!

Thanks Schadenfreude any ideas how I can shorten your name?!?!

yawning - usually I get Schaden or Shad. Shadders is not unknown, but not common. - Take your pick.

Love that Stephen Mangan was all over the breast milk cheesecake

Prolly didn’t pass bloody Health and Safety or something

Agree about the mousse and blancmange problem !! Feeling a bit rough today are we Schaden ? Wish you better we meet on both this and the Strictly threads , truly telly addicts . yawning also!

I never go out ppeat

Except for food, drink, dogs, coffee, cake etc

Actually, it seems that I do go out.

As you were.

I didn't suggest that you had been out Schaden

I go out, but very much under duress and only after consulting the Oracle that is the Radio Times.

I only go out if there is a doughnut or cake being dangled ten feet in front of me wherever I go. I'm going to go with Schaden I think
