I'm generally in favour of as much cultural diversity as possible, however the (thankfully) humble pikelet should just do the honourable thing and disappear. What I've never understood was how Joan Bakewell became known as "the thinking man's crumpet" when surely once a Bakewell Tart always a Bakewell Tart. What's your position on this?
|
^ I'd have to concur with you on that. It is utter nonsense. It would be like describing Lord Battenburg as "every girl guide's plain hobnob" or Rudyard Kipling as... um... "the ginger crunch cream of the subcontinent". |

"Quotation is a servicable substitute for wit"
Oscar Wilde.
Muffins are o.k. but a bit of crumpet all ooooozing warm dribbley butter does the soul the power of good.
Best pictures I 've looked at on here for ages.
|
^ I must agree. Crumpets are among man's best inventions - they are up there with lava lamps, rocking horses and snowmen. What is your position on the great pikelet/crumpet debate? Were pikelets originally just crumpets that kept going wrong - and that's why they are crap - or do you believe that they are an entirely independent speciality, deliberately developed with the same skill and loving care as the crumpet - and yet, sadly, still rather crap? |

faking quotes by obscure people is more fun- you can actually make up the people too...and the library and catalogue references of their publications! and then it looks like you really know what you are talking about... Mrs Gaskell. Now there's a blast from the past. I don't think she was quite as wise as all that though...
|
^ Actually, that quote was real. Mrs Gaskell cared very deeply about stinging ostrich posteriors - understanding why it was that people felt that they needed to be plucked, but regretting it nonetheless. Indeed she hoped to encourage the use of fake quotes as an alternative personal adornment to the ostrich feather in a novel entitled "The Feather Farthingale" which was unfortunately never published, because I just made it up. |

you can be my oscar wilde any day....! i spent years doing it in Cambridge- making up fake quotes of obscure people!
|
^ As Mrs Gaskill once said, "The faking of quotes is a very wholesome application which lends a young person more sophistication than a whole valise of ostrich feathers and does not hurt the poor ostrich's posterior either." |
|
^ (I only fake quotes by reasonably famous people.) |

hahaha. gotta love Oscar. The bloody cynic.
|
^ Actually, I made that one up. I couldn't find a relevant quote with muffins. (Faking quotes is one of my other hobbies.) |

haha- what like this gem:
Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same.
or:
How marriage ruins a man! It is as demoralizing as cigarettes, and far more expensive.
|
^ No, I think it was this one: Life-long monogamy is like a stale breakfast muffin - good enough for swans but quite unpalatable for humankind. |

usually yes...and marriage tends to get rid of the urge to snog so is pretty much a lose lose situation.
|
^ I feel as though there must be an Oscar Wilde quote on this. Something about muffins. |

thats true, much more fun. snogging is much more fun than marriage anyway...
|
^ And lasts longer, too. |

Why marry rodeo ?
Just shag it and keep it in your knickers until the gunk (I mean the emulsion) comes out
|
^ You're forgetting that my parents are on this picture! |
2009-01-07 // 18:04:40
rodeo
can i marry this picture?
|
^ It might be more fun if we both snogged it while Lloyd Oliver watched. |

I love the sea in winter, and love these polas.
|
^ Thank you. I like winter seaside Polaroids too. There was a icy wind blowing, as usual in the North East of England, but the sky was that stormy dove colour that is neither blue nor grey. (So not really like the vibrant expired colours at all.) |
