James - Telegraph part III

[devil-may-care]

If he doesn't we're all in trouble!

*wipes custard off sleeve*

*wonders if custard wrestling is a bit like mud wrestling*


*wonders if James would enjoy watching custard wrestling*


*wonders if it's time to move to the Naughty Corner*

I was wondering that best go before we get sent ;D

How does a newspaper column thread end up being about custard I love this place ;D you can't say we are not diverse...mad?.... yeah i'll give you that ;D

[devil-may-care]

Diverse?.... yes
Mad?.... yes
But classy with it! ;D ;D

[crumbs]

Custard and James.........mmmmmmmmmmm...............now that's a thought I likeee muchly. Off I go into Happy Land.

[jacqui]

can i request the custard is warm at least, I don't like cold custard

[dit]

Mmm. warm custard wrestling.....


Makes me think about school dinners - though we rarely wrestled, to be fair.

[jacqui]

we had pink custard some days at school as vomit inducing then as it is now!

[dit]

Good God, you've made me remember that! Did they think they were making it more appealing to us? If so, they failed!

[aeromanda]

Pink custard?
*is confused*

[devil-may-care]

Pink custard is just wrong!

[dit]

I think they thought it was somehow strawberry, though it patently wasn't. It didn't seem to go with particular puddings, just seemed to turn up at random.

This, of course, was in the days when there was little, if any, choice with school dinners. You either ate what was in front of you or starved!

[jacqui]

ours was usually served with a lump of dry cake advertised as Coconut Cake - which again, it wasn't as described!!

[From Afar]

I actually like cold pink custard

*ducks quickly incase of rebuffles*

[jacqui]

there's always one

Cold, pink custard. Sometimes I think some of the members of the JMB are just a bit weird.

No offence, Afar!




*runs like hell, fearing a continuation of the great custard war of - well - the last two pages of the NC*

[crumbs]

My favourite was hot chocolate pudding and chocolate custard (it was custard, not sauce back then). And I also remember the pink custard of indeterminate flavour. And the coconut pud - memories memories.......

[jacqui]

Ah yes the hot chockie pud.... and spotted dick ;D

[crumbs]

with hot custard.......

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[jacqui]

god i'm hungry

[nobody]

I liked the pink custard and the mint custard. ;D
I always remember when we had cheese cake there was never any seconds, but they could not get rid of the rhubarb and custard to save their life.

[dit]

MINT custard!!!!!

Never got mint custard in my day! *mumbles*

[nobody]

Did anyone's else's school have the skin from the custard?
It was a rare treat if you got that.
Also no matter what brand I try no cheese cake tastes as good as the one you used to get at school, when I google it to try and find the brand, all I find are people asking what brand it was because they love it yet no one know who used to make it.
The company could be making millions if only they came out of the wood work

We never had mint custard *sulks* or cheesecake *sticks out bottom lip*

I don't think cheesecake had been invented back then

Thankfully I don't remember that

I agree with that sentiment. I've been described as a lot of things, (mainly complimentary!), that all suggest I'm not your run-of-the-mill person, and I like it that way. Slight eccentricity is just self-expression!

FA also said: and spotted dick - I went to an all girls school so we didn’t have that….

*snort* How true! All girls school were indeed short of that delicacy! (That's "all-girls", not "all girls'"....though perhaps........)

And: I don't think cheesecake had been invented back then

I thought just the same when I read Nobody's post. Afar, do you think we might be giving away a bit too much information here?

YAY for the eccentricity Dit I'm usually described - in a good way - as "a bit odd" "qwerky" or "unusual"

I think we might be Dit.... I'm not that old honest (younger than James but still in the same decade)

Truly Afar? I can't possibly imagine that. ;D

In real life I am often described as a b**ch because I tend to say what I am thinking with a little too much ease. My brain to mouth filter has always been a bit broken. I tend to wear the "B" label proudly but in truth I am just a sarcastic red head. (I think that is why I love the Brits so much. They tend to really grasp sarcasm where as Americans just don't. Thus they take you seriously and you wind up getting called a "B".)
Crazy has been applied to me a few times too. I chose to take it as a compliment because I wasn't exactly sure how it was meant. But like I said earlier in another thread, I am happy to assume the label of crazy on here! I think we all are...if only a touch. ;D

*Thinks about custard fight with James.....*

Ok... I'm going.

TAXI! Yes please, the naughty corner. Can I make a regular booking?
