beef Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I was thinking more along the lines of "Po-faced self-appointed guardians of popular taste will tell you you shouldn't enjoy them because they're sexist and racist". The innuendo is the whole point of Carry On films . I can't help feeling you've got it in for me ..... oh. ..I thought no one liked the movies cos they are a bit..well they are all the same in a slightly different location (like a goosebumps book) racism and sexism is not a big deal, thats how things were back then, we cant change that by telling people to not like the movies. If anything they should be shown regularly to emphasis the point. as for having it in for you, I dont know you, but if I did have it in for you, you would know, I do not do subtle. when I have something to say it gets said.

~Andrea~ Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 The Carry on films are great. My favourite is Carry on Screaming. I love the way they lull you into a false sense of security - 'Ah yes I'm above this sort of childish humour,' and then have you laughing at something so childish and silly that you almost feel ashamed of yourself. That is their genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mia Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I can't help feeling you've got it in for me ..... Ah Roland, it was all so well set up for Beef and he missed it. My guilty pleasure would be eating chocolate and reading at the same time, preferably Maltesers. Ooh, that's just reminded me that I've bought my first Wispa today! That's not going to last long... I too love sprouts, but I don't think I would call them a guilty pleasure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not like beef is it? to be fair the movie is *23* years older than I am, We were not all born early enough to see the carry on movies That's more like it!

I almost never do it, but potato chips (crisps) with a tuna sandwich. Other than that, I do not keep them in the house. The worst, is that I taught my kids how I learned to eat them in the USA as a schoolboy. We would actually put them inside the tuna sandwich between the tuna and the roll... The worst thing I have ever seen is an absolutely appalling habit that I first saw after moving to Central Europe... The worst imaginable We vacation in the Mazurian Lakes region every summer, and we often cook for family members up there. I am half-Italian, and have learned how to prepare traditional Italian cuisine. I have been cooking since my childhood. I wanted to teach my wife's family members how to make a proper pizza. So one summer we packed plenty of real imported Italian flour (It has to be Durhum Semolina), Italian Olive Oil (Extra Virgine), etc. I spared no expense nor took any shortcuts in preparing what I had hoped would be the best pizza of their lives. Finally it came out of the oven, and without even tasting it, one of my wife's cousins put ketchup all over his first slice. I am sure that the modern translation of Dante Alighieri's famous quote is thus: "The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who put ketchup on pizza" Another fraso of Dante's came to mind...

Chimera Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Donatello, your anecdote made me laugh so hard because I had a very similar incident and can just imagine your face in the second you realised what he was doing... I was in Mexico once, staying with a mexican family, and they wanted to taste french food. So I decided to prepare french pancakes for them. Now I am no chef and I had never made pancakes before so it was quite a disaster. I made the dough but I couldnt manage to turn it into eadible pancakes... They all came out too thick, or burned, or torn... And then miracle, I got one right! It probably wasnt that good, but it looked wonderfull and perfect to me... So I gave it to my host father. And what did he do?? Went straight to the hot salsa bottle and sprayed it very generously on the pancake So beware, you might get nasty surprises with french food as well!

Charm Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 my wife's cousins put ketchup all over his first slice Went straight to the hot salsa bottle and sprayed it very generously on the pancake I was trained as a chef and the first thing my OH does is put HP sauce all over his food if he can get away with it! :motz:I could understand kids doing something like this but he really should know better lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
