at Aitch and Habbibu.

Milkycheeks · 20/06/2008 22:48

Think it was school dinners that turned me- grey,watery, yet still strangely lumpy, mashed potato; grey lukewarm tapioca, grey boiled cabbage,- bleurghh

AitchNunsnet · 20/06/2008 22:49

but i'm not joking, PhD...

i swear, it came up through his eyelids...

AitchNunsnet · 20/06/2008 22:50

even your name rather curdles my stomach, tbh Milky.

Habbibu · 20/06/2008 22:50

So, what we're establishing is that BLW is therapy for the parents...

PhDlifeNeedsaNewLife · 20/06/2008 22:51

no I'm sure you're not!

So, when he's naughty, does his mum wave a tub of FF at him?

AitchNunsnet · 20/06/2008 22:51

well, yeah. it's all about me, obv.

Milkycheeks · 20/06/2008 22:54

Don't say that Aitch! It's what i used to call dd when she was tiny, 'cos that's what she had [nostalgic emoticon]

lackaDAISYcal · 20/06/2008 22:54

poor wee mite...he probably has a lifelong aversion to all things yogurty now

AitchNunsnet · 20/06/2008 22:54

unfortunately he still doesn't eat... his mum is pretty chilled about it (because he'd had a few bad allergic reactions and she could see the sense of it) but his father's family were of the 'here comes an aeroplane' school and he point blank refused and became pretty phobic. it's a shame, tbh.(oh GOD and to think i made it WORSE!!! [mortified])

AitchNunsnet · 20/06/2008 22:55

please could you send milky and her cheeks out of the room, dr habs? she's ignoring my cues...

Habbibu · 20/06/2008 22:57

It's aversion therapy...

PhDlifeNeedsaNewLife · 20/06/2008 22:58

you know Aitch, I think you and my dh might have been separated at birth, he would be having a v hard time with this thread

AitchNunsnet · 20/06/2008 23:00

by the way, milks (seeing as you're still here... )

what school did you go to... St Clare's? and how OLD are you? [tapioca icon]

PhDlifeNeedsaNewLife · 20/06/2008 23:01

Now Dr Habs, would I be correct in guessing the patient is attempting to use diversion to avoid dealing with the phobia?

Habbibu · 20/06/2008 23:03

I suspect you are right, DrPhD (or may I call you Tautology?)

AitchNunsnet · 20/06/2008 23:07

HA! yes, phd has a funny name, la la la laaaa laaaah.

Milkycheeks · 20/06/2008 23:09

Ha, still here! (but must go to bed v.soon so your stomach can settle down again Aitch) - went to a backwater school in deepest cornwall - dinners weren't even cooked on premises but bussed in from somewhere else, and this was before microwaves were invented hence the lukewarm food - bleurghh, bleurghh, bleurghh (this was primary school, by the way, - i'm not THAT old )

Habbibu · 20/06/2008 23:09
AitchNunsnet · 20/06/2008 23:12

oh bloody hell Milky, that sounds deesgusting. i really think we're onto something here, drhabs. i take it we're on a freebie as you intend to research our innermosts and then ply your trade as a tv shrink now that dr raj persaud's off the market?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 20/06/2008 23:14

All threads seem to contain vomit today

[boak]

Habbibu · 20/06/2008 23:14

I am actually a Doctor, so could probably fool people just as well... and I wrote my own articles (all 4 of them).

AitchNunsnet · 20/06/2008 23:17

wait for me!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 20/06/2008 23:35

HAbbibu - where does your name derive from?
