Nice People Thread No. 15, a Cyber Summer

Thanks for all the suggestions for milk and more, believe it or not we used to have them deliver our milk but I had to stop it as firstly the milkman started to deliver it too late and it would spoil and if that didn't happen, the little oiks would nick it from the doorstep!

I used to love waking up, opening the front door and getting my lovely fresh milk in...was most galling the first day it wasn't there. Job cuts and amalgamation apparently which meant we were the last drop off of a huge round which took hours and hours to do.

Will give them a look though as it has been years, so it might have changed/improved.

I try not to take too much milk ever since I heard an oncologist explaining she think dairy is related to certain western cancers, OH I read your bad news and was in two minds to post this, so I hope you are not put out by my blathering here,
.

She said she had 100 patients with stomach or colon cancers and similar*, that were put on dairy free and most recovered. She also explained such cancers were unknown in China which was largely dairy free

I suppose sucking animal juice is odd if you think about it, lol.nimagine dog milk


*i cannot recall the exact cancers

Conrad no issues with posts almost ever actually as even when something is said that is horrid I can turn the other cheek very easily..real life face to face though I am rather OTT at times but thats my husbands 'training' I do believe.(49 years of wedded bliss :eek:)

Ummmmm.........not really! It's the most natural thing in the world!

(I get your point, though).

Realistically, there would be nothing wrong with drinking dog milk. The reason we don't is because it would be very hard to get it from a dog! :rotfl: (bad enough trying to clip their claws!)
Much easier to get it from large, placid animals with dangly teats!

Cue Red Dwarf;

Holly: We ran out of cows milk months ago.
Lister: So what's in this tea?
Holly: Emergency backup supply.
Lister: What's that?
Holly: Dogs milk.
Lister: Spluuuurt.
Holly: Nothing wrong with dogs milk, full of goodness, full of marrowbone jelly. And the best is, it lasts longer than any other kind of milk.
Lister: Why's that?
Holly: No bu99er will drink it.

Marrowbone jelly!:rotfl:

And makes your hair shiny and your eyes bright! Woof!




I defy anyone, male or female, who has had a child, to say they have been able to resist having a little taste of human milk!
(And I don't mean when they were a baby themselves! )

What difference does the gender of the child make?

In Blackadder, WW1 episode, Baldrick's making tea and the conversation brings out that he's been out of sugar for months and been using dandruff instead.... then he offered him milk, that they also haven't had ... he'd been using spit.

I loved milk growing up. It is lovely. But I stopped buying it and started having black coffee about 35 years ago when, living alone, I realised that I either had no milk for my coffee, or what I had had gone off. With a growing collection of "gone off milk" accumulating it seemed easiest to just start drinking coffee black

At home we used to have "silver top" - I find if I buy "blue top" these days it's not got the same depth of texture that the old silver top had. Silver top used to have an inch or so of cream on top, that you then mixed in by shaking the bottle. You don't have that with blue top.

Cpt Darling: "Ooh, cappucino. Have you got any of the brown stuff to sprinkle on it?"
Baldrick: "I'll have a root around and see if I can find some"
Cpt Blackadder: "No, that'll be all Baldrick"

Classic.

I think that was the same episode with the difference between sauteed and fricasseed rat - can't remember which way around it was but one used just a slightly larger rat
