I plan to ignore it until 1 December at the earliest, otherwise the four months of relentless commercial nonsense these days means you've had enough long before you get to the day itself. One of the things I liked about living in the Netherlands was that until Sinter Klaas on 5 December no mentioned the C-word.

well thank you for the laugh - my erstwhile MIL who cooked us Christmas dinner just the once - did this. She was up at 4 to get the turkey in, the size of a capon (remember those) till it was quite desiccated then piled all the flesh up on a white plate, I suppose now it would be 'pulled turkey' 'while getting the sprouts on' to get them out of the way. Then she tipped them into a colander and pressed them with a potato peeler with all her might to remove the moisture they had just spent 45 mins soaking up - sprouts dear? - no thanks!

I was as though she hated them and was teaching them a lesson. Just wanted to share (vent)


My mother had a pressure cooker, for Christmas Puddings and leek soup, not at the same time mercifully, the most terrifying noise, hiss and rattle, contrasted with my MIL slow cooker, quiet and deadly.


OMG where did I put my therapists phone number

    • It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.
    • Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.
    • Completely jobless and lunatic behaviour coming on a forum and complaining about a 4 year old and the child’s bike riding skills. Honestly grow up
    • I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
