3. The next time you are entertaining, try using Chappie as a filling for your vol au vents. Your guests will never tell the difference, but even if they do, they will be too embarrassed to complain.
4. Fancy a few drinks in the pub but don't have any money? No problem, head to the bar and then stage a fainting attack, when other customers rally round you, tell them 'get me a brandy.'

Now I have written this I will never know if there are anymore replies because I can never find the flipping threads again when I return....
Wish there was an easy way to follow a thread . Thank you for the giggle !
1 I don't follow this as I get him to do all preparation and cooking, its easier.
2 I'm at that age where coughing is dangerous anyway, a laxative wouldn't make me more scared!
3 I never entertain but the idea is good.
4 I don't drink alcohol, shouting for a lemonade doesn't seem the same.
Thanks for bringing a smile to my face.
