NO IT ISN'T, KIRSTY!

Becos they is thick, innit!

I had that programme on , but the sound turned off due to DD trying to have a sensible conversation with me about plant names , so I missed that gem !

With you there phoenix ! It makes no sense to say "the proof is in the pudding". Unless someone's hidden the gun in it!

Oh yes! It's really annoying isn't it?

Which Kirsty is the pudding-brain?

How stupid, everyone nos its silver sixpenys wot is in the pudding

Er…...Might I be pedantic and point out that her name is Kirstie?

I do agree though.

Phoenix, Maw

merlot I sit (on the sofa) corrected! ,

Pecs or unless someone has put a photographic or print item within a dessert?

Aaagghhh! Don't these idiots ever stop and think about what they're saying? What on earth did she think the 'proof' was? And anyway, what's it doing in the pudding - shouldn't it be in an evidence bag?

Pecs or unless someone has put a photographic or print item within a dessert?

It might be your STD card *phoenix

And she even hesitated quite a while before she said it.

The proof is in the pudding – in the form of a damn great ruby – in one of Agatha Christie's short stories, The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding. Otherwise, no!

See – the exception proves the rule! And I've heard that misunderstood lots of times too.

The word 'prove' is an old-fashioned way of saying 'test'

IE 'The test of the pudding is in the eating'
and 'the exception tests the rule'

Makes perfect sense if you know that.

I like Kirsty!

She says a lot of wise things too.

I think we all know what she meant, who amongst us hasn't said the wrong thing and then regretted it immediately, especially in public.
Didn't someone on GN post about exactly that recently?

Didn’t think anybody used those old fashioned sentences now. Always made me laugh what’s the one about the horse?
Shut the stable door after the horse has bolted?
Early bird catches the worms.
Strange.

Who is this offending Kirsty/ie ? What is this programme?
Is it woman's hour? I'd better switch the radio on - t'would help.
The proof of the programme is in the listening.

My favourite (not) is 'spitting feathers' for being angry. No it means thirsty. Spitting fire or something similar is angry.

Keep a stiff upper lip and on your toes, with your nose to the grindstone, your back to the wall, your ear to the ground, shouldering the burden, and putting a brave face on it.

Kirstie/Kirsty drives me nuts!!!

Wendiwoo. Give me Nigella any day.
