Food and Drink #20

[kachoochoo]

thank you for all your kind words. it's genuinely been a horrible day today and to see that people are thinking of me is so sweet

a colleague who's working from home called me today in tears, and that is just not like her

mr kcc's having to deal with all kinds of stuff with his mother and brother, who are not coping well without his dad

jack's antics on the MT are just awful

and to top it all off, the 70k+ covid cases announced today is really freaking me out

to keep on topic for this thread, we've just had sausages, chips and beans for tea because sometimes, having a kids' tea makes you feel a bit better, doesn't it?

Thanks to the current MT title (Poca), I've watched Rocket Man! Not a huge fan of Elton per se (Taron Egerton on the other hand...) but loved it. A great cheery up film with a happy ending and a chance to sing a long.

PS. When fake Elt was singing Tiny Dancer, I had visions of how Jackie must have pranced around the bungalow every time the John Lewis advert of a couple of years ago was shown.

Babe same, not especially a fan of Elton’s sound but amazing film. I think I (Ill-advisedly) back to backed it with the Queen film Bohemian Rhapsody with Rami Malik and was quite depressed about the old days

Bohemian Rhapsody was terribly sad. Brilliant film but sad. Thank LJC that Freddie had support and love from those closest.

 

[Sideboard Bob]

I’ve not seen Bohemian Rhapsody yet, will remember to keep in mind that it’s sad.

Freddie was SO funny, it seems like in every interview he was just a riot. I’ve linked a clip of his funny moments below, and there’s so many more clips out there of him just being naturally hilarious.

Spoiler: YouTube video

His alternative lyrics for “One Vision” in this are

Is this the right time to confess that for a long time (too long) I thought the lyrics were 'Hold me closer, tie me down sir'?
It wasn't until I saw track listing for an album that I realised it was Tony Danza Tiny Dancer.

Hope everyone is ok. Things just seem to be sliding back to square one don’t they?

Today is meant to be my . But we aren’t making a big deal of it because the last two were catastrophically awful (mainly due to me being either ill or an idiot around food). So the gutters are being cleaned and we are having an M and S yummy meal tonight.

Sending out hugs to everyone. Sometimes, just knowing that there are people out there who laugh at the same thing or feel warm and cuddly when they see sheepos or Susan makes the day just a little bit better.

Happy birthday tunnel. You cant go wrong with a M&S meal.

With everything being to bleak its sheep and Susan that are keeping me going!!

 

[HotesTilaire]

I’m planning on some m&s treats as well, going to have an expedition to the shops shortly.
I love how Susan has become no emotional support animal for people in the UK even though she lives down under!

[kachoochoo]

i just saw this on twitter that someone wrote about jorts the cat who was mentioned on the MT yesterday and it put the light back in my eyes quicker than a packet of dylon, so i thought i'd share

it's to the tune of hallelujah

 

[EddieBeds]

Have forgotten how to post across threads but @Falkor posted this on the MT (the one that was just locked as there is a new thread now) and know some people don't frequent the MT or swerve it so thought I'd share the word here in case it's of interest:

Allegra's budget cookery book is 99p on Amazon Kindle today if anyone fancies it.

The squig horribleness always baffles me. It's always in response to a genuine concern that a particular squig as. Do people not realise that the concern is actually a good thing. It means they care. All anyone's response should have been to the squig was I will bear that in mind. Thanks...

ETA: Happy Birthday @Into_the_tunnel

 

[AlphaBetaDeux]

Happy cake day Tunnel! What goodies do you have from M&S?

Absolutely nothing worthy of mention has emanated from la cuisine d’AlphaBetaDeux because I’m just fecking exhausted and am taking the easy options when it comes to food - macaroni cheese, potato wedges with some form of protein, just beige stuff, which is tasty but not noteworthy (take note Jack!). Have to go for a gestational diabetes test and looks like I’ll be getting induced early which could be interesting given the predicted state of the hospitals after Christmas

Fingers crossed with the test and possible induction. Does that mean baby ABD before Christmas?

No goodies yet, waiting for Mrs T and the car. I could get the bus but it would be filled with students on the way back now and unmasked teenagers does not fill me with glee.

Happy birthday @Into_the_tunnel! Enjoy your M&S goodies

 

[Falkor]

Happy birthday, @Into_the_tunnel - hope you have cake in with the M&S goodies!
