How apt this thread is. I've spent a great deal of the last 18 hours with a mewling, puking child...

Limpit "decorated" the front room carpet yesterday - 'luckily' she'd been feeling poorly and hadn't eaten so it was just the blackcurrant drink she'd had an hour previously... ever seen purple snot?

Just as well I had a new can of carpet cleaner handy and no pigeons.

Anyone else seen 'The Meaning of Life' from the Monty Python crew? Remember Mr Creosote? "Jus wan moor waffer theen meent?" Allegedly, they used several gallons of Scotch Broth - a chunky meat and vegetable soup that bears an astonishing resemblance to those plastic puke puddles you can buy in joke shops for that scene. Some of the extras had not been completely prepared so quite a lot of those retches and heaves were real.

I can honestly say I've not eaten Scotch Broth since seeing that film.
