Seriously thought about posting this as an AE!

As a long term poster of 1 year i really thought the only way to get honest opinions was to post this problem on MSE as an AE but i thought better to just come straight out with it 
I have a friend, lets say her name is Bertha! Bertha is married to Jurgen who works as a courier for Yodel. As a courier driver Jurgen works long hours and because Bertha misses him so much, she eats to fill the time!
She put on a bit of weight, which Mandy asked Jurgen if Bertha was pregnant. Jurgen said no and because he was concerned about her weight he bought her an excercise bike :j
The bike turned out to be faulty with only the right hand side working. Regardless of the fault and through her determination Bertha ploughed on with the excercise. She's worked out so much, her right leg has halved in size :eek:
When i was around Bertha's yesterday seeing her leg, she made us a cuppa and got out a box of family favourite biscuits! This is the reason why i almost posted as an AE... Why do a family favourite biscuit selection pack contain no family favourites :huh:
Apologies if i have offended any of the custard cream brigade! They just aren't a worthy biscuit

We get the Family Circle range. Not for the biscuits you understand, we use the tin to keep all the family favourites in.

Are you jealous O.P of a family favourite? Is there a daughter or sister in law who is getting all the attention?
Spinkz you couldn't use an AE your style is a one off.Life is like a bath, the longer you are in it the more wrinkly you become.0 -
So you were over there hobnobbing with Bertha, whilst Jurgen the jammie dodger was delivering more than milk, bet someone pulled his cracker, did he end up with an iced ring after a few bourbons.
I hope Mandy reads this thread before it crumbles, it would be too hard for her to digest(ive).
