Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 29 Mar 07 - 08:05 PM What item of confectionary would be the equivalent for a "thinking woman"? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: George Papavgeris Date: 29 Mar 07 - 10:08 PM Ferrero Rocher? Too obvious. Cadbury's Creme Egg? No, that's for Chavesses. Toblerone is strictly for mathematicians. And Mars Bar for astonomers. Perhaps Leonidas "seashells"? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: GUEST,ib48 Date: 30 Mar 07 - 05:46 AM i would give her a bite of my curly wurly |

Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: jimlad9 Date: 30 Mar 07 - 06:42 AM Ruth luv If things don't work out with you and ib48 can I be his reserve?. I don't do 'smutty' remarks but once you have seen my Ginger Nuts he is dead in the water. For the thiking woman it must be a 'Maid of Honour' for my nomination,that is if there any left these days.Or a Nice Biscuit. Definitely not an "Oven Bottom" though Jim |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: Dave Hanson Date: 30 Mar 07 - 09:01 AM Karen Tweed or Kathryn Tickell. eric |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: Ruth Archer Date: 30 Mar 07 - 09:09 AM Crikey - I am doing well! I should clarify that as my surname is Crump, the nickname "crumpet" has followed me around for many years, hence my rather forward assertion. But as I appear to have pulled, I'm not complaining. :D |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: jimlad9 Date: 30 Mar 07 - 09:40 AM Ruth your surname is one I have only heard of once in my life. Are you related to Rhona or Rona Jones, nee Crump of Bolton. BTW my nickname is "The Cloakroom Attendant" because when any of my men rings me with a query I cannot answer immediately I am alleged to reply "Just leave it with me" Lastly does my mention of my 'Ginger Nuts' cut any ice with you ?: |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: Little Hawk Date: 30 Mar 07 - 01:11 PM I never met a thinking man who wasn't impressed by Diana Rigg. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: beardedbruce Date: 30 Mar 07 - 01:15 PM I hate it when I have to agree with Little Hawk! |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: Georgiansilver Date: 30 Mar 07 - 01:22 PM Dolly Parton...and yes it certainly does depend how you are 'thinking' |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: gnu Date: 30 Mar 07 - 02:35 PM Yes, Dolly Parton. One of the most intelligent, personable, witty, talented, down-to-earth people I have ever seen on the TV. And, she's a looker, too. Of course, I could name women I have personally met, but, you don't know her. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: Gurney Date: 31 Mar 07 - 03:56 AM Honor Blackman, Diana Rigg's predecessor in 'The Avengers.' Remember that leather suit? And she can sing! |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: Sooz Date: 31 Mar 07 - 04:36 AM I think that all men are the same regarding totty watching but sometimes they like to impress us by trying to look more intellectual! What about the "thinking woman's hunk"? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: GUEST, Date: 31 Mar 07 - 04:59 AM Kevin McCloud? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: Jeanie Date: 31 Mar 07 - 06:05 AM Funnily enough, just heard Joan Bakewell being interviewed on the radio this morning, and her title of "thinking man's crumpet" came up. She reckoned that as this has followed her now through many decades, it will probably be incribed on her grave. Following George P's list of chocolates, how about this one: The Thinking Woman's Walnut Whip ? I'll second whoever suggested Kevin McCloud. I would also be very happy to engage in many hours of intellectual discourse with Michael Wood (male equivalent to Bettany Hughes), Rod Liddell, Jeremy Paxman, Alan Rickman, Will Self (He's my favourite, because he is also extremely funny). Aah well....I wish.... - jeanie |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: jimlad9 Date: 31 Mar 07 - 06:11 AM The mention of Honor Blackman reminds me of the old groaner of a joke: "I see that the actress from The Avengers has been arrested for speeding" "Honor Blackman ?." " No,on a Motorbike" I am fed up with getting me coat! |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: Linda Kelly Date: 31 Mar 07 - 06:19 AM jeannie and i will obviously be in a handbags at dawn scrap over Alan Rickman and Will Self - also have a penchant for Eddie Izzard ........ |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: jimlad9 Date: 31 Mar 07 - 06:46 AM Linda Eddie Izzard !! wow. I will borrow my wifes handbag and meet you at dawn. Jim |
Subject: RE: BS: The Thinking Mans 'Crumpet' From: George Papavgeris Date: 31 Mar 07 - 07:06 AM "also have a penchant for Eddie Izzard ........ " Please give it to him - we don't want to know. |
