I love the M&S caramel one and glad they do it all year. I take one to work every day for breakfast, sliced with butter and a slice of cheddar cheese. As much as I like Marmite the marmite hot cross buns are horrible. I've now got the gist of this thread and I think alece10 is spot on about Marmite HCB. I like both elements but put them together and something wicked this way comes. But am I going to settle for that? Not likely. "What I'd like to offer yourself" much beloved by call centres. "So" as a prefix to every sentence. "Guys" to a mixed group of people.

I must admit being confused by her in MP. I get what they're trying to do, but it really could have been anyone up there, and the singing wasn't exactly great either. Without wanting to hijack... did any see or know anyone who saw the musical she wrote 'Someone Like You' It closed after 4 weeks in 1990. If anyone did, it will be hulmeman Nope, It closed before I got there.

Lasted ten minutes I’m afraid. Narration has to reveal and not describe. Lynette you have put into words what was in my mind. I honestly thought we had the audio describe turned on the TV. It lost me after about helf an hour. I didn't care about any of them.

Well, if Petula was so bad, how come Cameron Mackintosh has had her back? I think he knows the business quite well don't you? I know it's a difference of opinion as always, but I really don't know how anyone can have watched what I saw and said she was good. Those of us saying she's dreadful aren't saying it for the lols or to start argument - we are saying it because that's genuinely what we thought 🤷🏻♂️ And I am saying your difference of opinion is with Cameron Mackintosh and Richard Eyre and the resident directors. If Petula wasn't playing the part as she was directed, she would be out.

I'll use TheatreBoard as my forum to say how sorry I am to read this news and to send sympathy to Jane.

Why isn't she a Dame? I'm not saying I'm a huge fan of the system but she's done a damn sight more than some of those who've been honoured. Some of us have been asking the same question for years. I can only think that she has upset someone in "the establishment" at some point.

Had she done her homework, as she should have done, before audition, she would have known the possible interpretation and discussed that with the creative team before auditioning.
I also notice that her father Ade Omoba is a co-founder of Christian Concern, an organisation which backed her tribunal case. Andrea Williams is the group's chief executive, and often pipes up with anti-gay cases.

Next weeks show is The Greatest Showman with Collabro, Joe Mcelderry and Daniel Brocklebank(from corrie!). I am sure Jane will do Never Enough and This Is Me. Joe McElderry and Daniel Brocklebank - now there's a celebrity couple to rival Rylan Clark-Neal and Rylan Clark-Neal!

Never heard of a gennell. When I lived in Liverpool we had barmcakes. They had a light flour covering on them. Now Mr theatreian, I think you are getting all ends up here. A gennell (ginnell) is the rear access to a property, a barmcake is summat you put in your gob. Don't confuse the two. However, flour on a barm makes it a breakfast roll. But in north Wales, they were baps anyway.

Those who have heard of Polari will probably have done so through the adventures of Julian and Sandy on the radio show "Round the Horne". Polari is said to be the secret language of gay men and theatricals but many of it's words have passed into the everyday lexicon (camp, naff, strides, bona, butch). I recently discovered a facebook group "Strictly Polari" dedicated to it observance and maybe it's growth. Any way Polones and Omi's do you still use Polari? Do you know or remember anyone who used Polari? You can varda the eekbook page here - www.facebook.com/groups/325158308429134/?ref=bookmarksAnd, a website here: britishslang.co.uk/community/polari

I've actually been to a chip shop only once (I know... I'm not a fan of fish, and the idea of finishing any food off with a splash of vinegar is my worst nightmare) but this thread is making me hungry and I am now considering a visit to a pretty nice looking one in the neighbourhood... Please, continue... Oh I love a good coming out story. (I watch 'em all on You Tube). You go for it when you feel ready Forrest. Don't feel pressured by others. There are many different types of chip shop catering of lots of different tastes, but they all have one thing in common. The fact that you are feeling hungry is a positive sign, but you don't have to make choices about vinegar straight away. Try it if you don't like it don't bother. Personally, I'm not a fan of vinegar but different vinegar strokes for different folks as they say. You might also consider topping with salt after vinegar. The world of deep fried food is endless. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

In East Yorkshire we also had scraps which I used to love. Also pate, which was a big dollop of mash that was battered and then fried. Yummy. Now that's what I call pate!! Never heard of the delicacy, but I will hunt it down and I will have it. Battered and deep fried mash. That'll put hair on yer chest (madam) In my local salon de pomme frittes, (Northernden for your benefit BurlyBeaR) I recently discovered "spam fritters". A taste of heaven and I'm pretty sure a ticket to get there!

Featured on an ITV news report tonight.
Because her work has dried up, she is now working as a delivery driver to make ends meet. It really brings home the impact that not even our biggest musical theatre performers are exempt from the financial effect that the government have chosen to largely ignore.

I really do have a problem with Kenneth Brannagh. In my humble opinion he is all style over substance. His last outing as Poirot was just plain bad. One only has to look at the exagerated moustache to realise he was more concerned with putting distance between his Poirot and that of either David Suchet or Albert Finney. Some movies should just be left alone and this is one of them, because even though Peter Ustinov was over the top as Poirot in the 1978 version, all the other ingredients as described above, more than make up!

I’ve always liked Tell Me On A Sunday but even the more recent incarnations of this have often felt pretty dated.I’ve often been intrigued by a gay version. Right, I’m off for a post-lunch sing-song: “It’s not the end of the world to use Grindr. It just might, seem so tonight. It’s not the end of the world that he’s Daddy. Older fun is better than none. People get into weird crap Like I’ve got into this, Drive a mile or two, and damn right I'll be willing. And I will not give him the horror of seeing my chest: Anon works best“ Where do I sign up to be an "angel" on this production of yours Bo???!!!
