So is drowning fluffy kittens. I expect someone will disagree with me

This thread is getting very repetitive. Is everybody not reading it from the beginning ?confused

I did...

bluebell Sorry I assumed that this was what it is about.

However despite how silly this ensuing thread has become it is at least better than the pointless acrimony going on on other threads.

There appears to have been only one post that seems to have tried to divert it from a conversation about babies bums and fluffy kittens.

Both are wrong but I think one would get a stiffer penalty for the latter

I quite like eating Babybel but hate flaying them.

Quote Bluebs: we could perhaps discuss the rights and wrongs of drowning less attractive kittens ".

Sugar me! I'll get me water-wings. grin

I remember years ago in the Archers when David and Ruth's daughter Pip was a baby there was a monologue by David to the baby about putting her in a pie and eating her up because she was so lovely.

It was a lovely moment of the sort of silly conversation doting parents use with their babies.

I think eating babies is only wrong if they are too skinny. They would have to be fattened up first.

I used to look at my baby son's forearm and wish chicken legs looked like that. And those little chewable fingers... depending on where they had been, of course.

Yeah. They definitely grow out of the "want to eat them" stage. hmm

Nellie - I wish he had eaten her - we have had to put up with her whiny voice for too many years! grin

Nelliemoser Mon 16-Sep-13 16:13:49

Like the old witch in Hansel and Gretel wanting to feel ? Hansel's finger to see if he had fattened up enough to eat.

Greatnan I indeed she is a whinging Madam! grin

Not to mention St Nicholas and the pickled boys in the barrel.

Most children love the gory stories, don't they?

Nelliemoser Mon 16-Sep-13 16:27:45

Disney "cleaned up" a lot of them like the ugly sisters chopping off their toes.

I remember a song about a reluctant cannibal.
It went something like
I don't ear people
I don't eat people
Eating people is wrong!
It was on a LP (remember them?) that the children had, there was something about a mandating crocodile that wouldn't women or children as well.

Thanks. It was their bestiary wasn't it?

Elegran Mon 16-Sep-13 17:13:55

There is a list of their work at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flanders_and_Swann

I love the hippopotamus song "Mud, Glorious Mud"

Greatnan Mon 16-Sep-13 17:21:52

My favourite was 'The Gas Man came to call'! A wonderful pair.

Penstemmon Mon 16-Sep-13 18:02:59

Flanders and Swan are a real childhood memory as my dad really liked them...

also WC Fields films....'no such thing as a tough child.. you just need to boil them for long enough' 'Do you like children? Yes, Fried'

feetlebaum Mon 16-Sep-13 18:12:03

I say "Ooh - wouldn't he look lovely on a spit..."

No wonder I don't get invited out much.

I say the same thing, feetle. grin Am about to be in trouble because my daughter just posted on fb 'Would anyone like to watch my little angel for two hours on Wednesday?' There were no replies, so I just posted 'I think you lost them all at the 'Angel' part...'.

She is now just two and no longer looking edible. Beautiful, but too skinny.

I had forgotten that flanders and swann song. grin

Greatnan Tue 17-Sep-13 16:07:38

I bet you do end up looking after her though!
