these deserve a wider audience

So, as some of you may be aware, V can be a bit slow sometimes.

Today she's asked me "is cheese made from milk", complained that the
reason her grip on English grammar is shaky is that she didn't go to a
grammar school, and then to cap it all told me quite proudly that she
"worked out" during the commonwealth games opening ceremony that Indians
come from India.

I thought this just about topped her "did Romans come from Rome?"

And then I realised she meant native americans.

 

Fucking love it

I have as much fun with my missus's grasp of oddball statements. She gets
various "Phrases or sayings" mixed up now and again and produces the odd
gem.

She watched MotoGP when Charlie Cox first started commentating and later on
asked why "He needs that like a 3rd arsehole?" She's bought a "Yuletide
Bog", put her "Nose to the wheel" and her "Back to the grindstone". Mind
you, she's not English, so I can't give her too much log, can I? Oh aye and
she's a deaf as a post and only hears half of what she thinks she's heard.

A dairy farm with a pasteurising and tetrapack plant on site? A rarity
indeed.

 

raw, unpasteurised, milk is still available in the UK - affectionately
known as "green top" from the colour of the foil on glass bottles.

 

I treat myself to a pint of that each weekend.

Remind me again - she *is* a lawyer by profession isn't she?

Is it still TT?

[assume you mean TB tested]

all cattle herds are TT'd and you'd need to be clear for a while before
getting a certificate to sell raw milk.

Raw milk can only be sold by the producer directly to the consumer, either
on a milk round, at the farm gate or incresingly, farmer's markets. The
producer has to pay for frequent tests.

Seems like the Scottish Parliament banned it due to bad bugs: the biggest
risk is the usual poor hygeine related bugs not TB. Typical of thier
"nannier than Blair" levels of control.

 

That's the badger (allegedly).

That's a relief.

"It may contain bacteria such as salmonella[1]. Between 1992 and 1999,
half of all milk-related food poisoning cases in the UK were due to raw
milk. None was fatal."

Well that's OK then.

You pays yer money and yer takes yer choice.

<Old Joke Mode>
There was a woman who admired her best friend's lovely, satiny skin and
inquired about it.
"Well," said the friend, "I take milk baths. You have to go to Farmer
Brown and get the quantity you need."
So the woman visits Farmer Brown and tells him she needs a lot of milk
for her milk bath.
"Do you want it pasteurised," says Farmer Brown.
"No," replied the woman, "just past my boobs!"

Vacherin Mont d'Or. Still at least that only sees off the odd old gimmer
or foetus.

I grew up on green top milk
never did me any harm.

 

Maybe she's working her way up to judge.
Then such brainfuckery will not only be expected, but compulsary.

 

I get these very, very rarely now. SWMBO spent too much time in the
UK.

 

They're few and far between now for me too, but I remember the classics from
a while back. New ones that she's onlt heard once can still bring a chuckle,
but she twigs a lot more quickly than I can twig when I hear things in
Swedish. I once tried to explain the phrase "It went down like a lead
balloon" and it took nearly 1/4 of an hour and when someone said something
about a **** on TV being "As queer as a concrete parachute", I started, then
gave up.
