Well, that's self-explanatory, I think.

Oh I love a new word or several.
Surely the beer mat would be a "pooner"?

Is this you roasting the joint, Errol?
Enjoy your weekend with your DD

I wouldn't touch that first one with a bargepole. It doesn't look as though it's died yet never mind been cooked.

@lcakethereforeIam I have tried to get copilot to do an image of the cake lady clutching her pearls over a sandwich being eaten with a cake fork but ... it's either producing whimsy or absolute horror, and it doesn't know what clutching pearls means

Gemini's attempt is no better!

Magpie that is hideous. Like a warped Shopkins thing.

Cutlery.

Love the cake as balaclava! Here's bing playing with various women/cake scenarios...

I spy with my little eye...

Some Tunnocks Caramel wafers and a book of poems written by the fine women of this board

@Boiledbeetle Thanks i just love that

Ought to stop sitting quietly in a corner (Lurking) and contribute something.

So i have a banging hangover went on a rare excursion to a pub, had a laugh, and well now am suffering.

Managed to have a bath, but got back into some clean PJ’s and have been watching you tubes stuff I have been meaning to watch, and done fuck all today.

I feel marginally guilty but better informed.

AIBU to be such a slob, or is it my age

ta muchly

you lightweight! I've been doing the above, without the pub and hangover since the end of August!

Sounds like you had time off from being a responsible adult human, probably well deserved. Shame about the hangover, but you had some laughs, and they are a valuable and rare commodity.
A few s and you'll be grand

I was thinking the very same thing. You are a proper role model, Boily. Also, @Bannedontherun, your post begins with the word "ought". Don't let the shoulds and oughts get you. They are useless, and can be very destructive.

Thanks inky had to think about what you said for a bit.

I aspire to be like Banned, Boily and Inky. As it is, I'm wading through my marking, laughing out loud at some of the howlers, muttering under my breath about the ones who have clearly not taken in anything I've taught them, and eating too much chocolate.

Bits of a poem i have stolen makes me think of the rozzers are coming and all things GC, although it was not written to express that, it resonates for me.

stuck inside these four walls
sent inside forever
never seeing no one
nice again

like you mama

if I ever get out of here
thought of giving it all away
to a registered charity
all I need is a pint a day

if I ever get out of here

we’ll the rain exploded with a mighty crash
as we fell in to the sun
and the first one said to the second one there
I hope your having fun

band on the run

well the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
seeing no one else had come
and a bell was ringing in the village square
for the rabbits on the run

band on the run

and the jailer man and sailor Sam will search forevermore
for the band on the run

well the night was falling
as the desert world began to settle down

and they are searching everywhere
but we will never be found

and the county judge
who held a grudge
will search forevermore

band on the run.

Of the three options I look most like the first the third, <sigh> the third one.

Although, comfy chair, book, pot of tea, slice of cake. Seems pretty perfect to me.

@Boiledbeetle Well Tunnocks seem to be our emblem can you tell me why?, i find it kinda strange as i have scoffed snowballs since the early eighties, was i born GC? Is it innate?

if it is a bit secret can you pm me please

thanks muchly

Too much chocolate is essential for getting through marking, especially on Saturday evenings.

Evening all! We've been to the Lakes, up Loughrigg Fell then back and cooked and eaten the fatted calf (uncanny likeness upthread). Knackered but in a good way.

Bonjour.

Mug trimmed and textured. Just a little more drying to do and then I can sponge the lettering all down and leave to air dry prior to bisque firing.

A photo would help...

@AlisonDonut

😍

Looking good!

It must be innate! I was very happy when I discovered this corner of Mumsnet had a large contingency of Tunnock's eaters!
