Apology accepted, Fiona.
Thanks for clearing up the mistake.

How can "WhiteAinsley" be racist?

"Oh dear, Mr Frodo!" said Samdee Stobie, miserably. "As my old Gaffer used to say, I hope you won't - "
Frodothebread smiled and raised his hand wearily."No, Sam. I won't give up."
Aragorn101 turned his head sharply. "There are dark forces at work here. We must be very careful what we say, for they listen, always." He looked sympathetically at the dejected Foodits. "I think perhaps we must speak more circumspectly, lest they hear us and object." He smled, gently.
Merrilees and Pippin Ro looked at each other, then at the others "Does this mean we have to miss second breakfast again?" they asked, plaintively.

PS I know Tolkein didn't use quite so many adverbs, and I haven't figured out yet who should play whom, but I couldn't resist.

Now that was funny, Dee

Thanks, Sue. I did offer to write something in the style of Tolkein, and am seriously trying to recover my reputation both on here and the food board.
I apologise in advance, BTW, for any missing capitals and/or spaces in my posts. Water spilled on keyboard last night!!! The rest seems to be working fine, crossed fingers.
Would anyone like the next post in the style of Terry Pratchett, or should I continue with Tolkein? I prefer the latter - that was fun!

I prefer Tolkein, Dee.
I'm quite a fan of his

I too like Tolkein, but let's have a change?
And after Pratchett, what next? Bronte? Rushdie?

Tolkein it is then, until the king shall deem it otherwise. And who knows when he shall return?
"Do we carry on to Rivendell, or go back?" asked Gandalf, with some asperity.
"Depends on the dark forces listening in," said Pippin, eating a chicken leg. "Sorry."

I told everyone the three I could do. If you want Hardy, Austen or Dickens, over to you, Steve!

It is a truth universally acknowleged that a scribbler posessed of little talent is in want of a style of his own, let alone the ability to ape his betters.
And then huff and moomsy down with floating and bright all around so the followers of the Prophet (PBUH) are wrath as if they understood this nonsense.
Eh-oh said Napoleon boyo.

The BBC seems to have reverted to GMT so Food board is closed - and anything posted here gets instantly an hour old!

Just caught up. (Been out for dinner!)
Lovely, Dee, Just lovely!
Not a fan of Tolkien, personally though.
Perhaps Orwell might be more fitting?
Back to the banned joke:
The email from the h2g2 editors informing me my post had been pulled invited me to resubmit it after some guidance...
"If you would like to re-write your contribution to remove the problem, then
we'd be very happy for you to post it again."
So I've replied asking what the 'problem' was so that I could indeed resubmit.
With any luck it was your closing line, Dee, that was the offensive bit! (You know, the bit where you got carried away?)
Cheers, Paul

Actually, I'll retract Hardy as a suggestion for ANYONE.
Three pages describing a tree, another two discussing religion, then someone watches a rural dance.
Maybe the first and third may be acceptable?

Hi Paul - I responded to my own censoring in much the same terms! No response yet. I really don't think it's a good joke - I find it rather sickening (sic). But not beyond the pale.
I've just objected to my previous post to tell them their clocks are wrong!

I'm fairly certain that was the killer, Paul.
Orwell? Will have to do some reading there...
Hope you had a lovely dinner!

Not GMT, Steve! If that was the case, the board would be open an hour later!
But you're right, the Food board *is* closed

Oh please, please, if you know, tell us! It's been driving me insane...

I did indeed, Dee, thanks!
I was about to answer ariannina on the veggie food in pubs board, but I may as well post it here first.
I had coriander and carrot soup with ciabatta for starters; then,
Thai green curry for mains - plus a side order of chips (I'm such a peasant when I dine out!)
Everything was quite delicious.
My wife, son and daughter-in-law were similarly very pleased.
Just remembered - I'd discussed with the chef my vegan requirements - and then they brought my soup with a swirl of cream in it!
But they were suitably embarrassed and brought me my vegan soup a couple of minutes later!

Is that Thai Green Curry made WITHOUT nam pla fish sauce?
