@traumatised sideboard do you think @MancBee could be in a Pet Slop Bot’s video? Then he will have done a double that others could only dream of...

ETA I once saw Neil Tennant at a gig, am I in the Pet Shop Boys now? Funny enough he was with....David Walliams!

I was on a backing track of an S Club 7 song when I was 10, so I’m clearly a professional singer too. 🤣

@SweetTransvestite for triangulation purposes I'm not saying I was attending the same event but in theory, had I been in attendance, I would now add BBC Look East as a workplace to my CV.

Curses, I definitely missed a trick by not putting our dear Mancunian heart in 'Onion Police' with the line about his soup-based assassination attempt.

What is the Scottish baking book called?

I would not be able to standing using a recipe book without pictures. To be honest it's the pictures that are the main selling point for me. Drawings don't cut it either. They have to be beautiful glossy colour photos which show off gorgeous food. No slop allowed.

Also I've never had pot noodle either. It's just never appealed to me. I do like noodles with stir fry though.
Scottish Baking 😁. Note that the front cover quote is from Mom. Sue Lawrence is from Dundee so talks about butteries but has had some tuition in the art of rowies.

I was once in the audience of Top Of The Pops... I display my Grammy awards in the bathroom.

I used to type up theatre lists and once observed a session, so I'm a fully qualified surgeon

Just got off my call, have been stuck on the waiting list to see an ADHD specialist. Must have thanked the nurse a million times and am on the verge of tears of joy/relief. duck me I might be able to start my adult life properly.

Genuinely, how does she use stuff like this as a personality trait? People who do it with OCD enrage me too, though I think there's less dialogue about how disabling that can be.
That is wonderful news ❤

Jack's so annoying with her tattoo talk. I love those 19th century tattooed women, btw! So elegant.
Winston Churchill's mother, Lady Randolph Churchill, had a snake tattooed on her forearm. Very fashionable in late Victorian times - Edward VII and George V had tattoos too.

I'm low key wowed at some of these revelations, I was an S Club superfan back in their hey day. I'd love to go for a grapefruit juice and a bombay bad boy with all of you, the stories are genuinely good craic 😆 Jack on the other hand....I overuse 'cringe' too much in these threads and feel like I need a new word but oh my god.

She absolutely is.

I'd like to inform everyone I wore a decommissioned nurse practitioner uniform for a few hours at work the other week due to an incident with a gallon of emulsion, and as a result will be offering Zoom appointments immediately.
Can you do my COVID vaccine please? thankyou 🥰

It is my turn to make diner for the people in the four flats on our side of the building today. I am making Moussaka main, with a chocolate orange trifle for pudding (sod off Jack with your manky packet crap). I am so pleased it was my turn on this day of reflection. I plate up the food and leave it on each doorstep, they then all come to the doors to collect it.

Has Jack done anything community spirited like that? No, thought not. (I am not sure the neighbours would want her food to be honest)

As I am cooking for other people, can I call myself a chef?

So many wonderfully talented humans here.
My stomach once growled the guitar intro to the Motley Crue song 'Kickstart My Heart'.

Touring soon with that dude who farts the alphabet.

PS This is true except for Capt Fart.
