i have just been listening to wed 19th dec's show and at one point chris mentions daves first ever warning, and how they were given a bollocking in the bosses office.
Dave didnt want to speak about it.
apparently he made a comment about someone doing sign language at a spice girls gig, a few years ago

Does any1 have any more details???

i hate andi peters!

[Vivienne]

Can't hear you! You have to make a louder posting.

[Console]

Er, Viv, deaf people can still read.

[Vivienne]

It was a "joke", which I found highly amusing. Blame the milk. It's even in my signature.

[MK Chris]

It didn't work and you were probably the only one to find it amusing.

[Console]

She was 'high' on MILK though; MILK, of course, is widely known for making things seems funnier than they are (or funny at all).

[Vivienne]

Hell, you should try some milk.

[Console]

I prefer water, but thanks anyway.

[Vivienne]

I wasn't offering. I was just suggesting it to improve your humour (or lack of!!).

[foot-loose]

Does any1 have any more details???

Judging by the above, I think the short answer is 'no', I'm afraid. The slightly longer answer is probably 'have you checked the sound vault?'.

[Vivienne]

Wey hey! Someone found it amusing, and she was half asleep! How exciting!

[Yudster]

I don't like milk. It's food for babies. Why we still drink it - and not even that of our own species - once we're beyond a year or two old is beyond me.

[Vivienne]

I used to like it. Until I got to seeing it every day.

[Vivienne]

Orange juice milkshakes! I'm gonna try that! Try hot milk with margarine in it. Heat up the milk, then stir in marg. It's lovely.

[maccaveli]

how silly was i? thinking i would get a straight answer! i should have seen the thread deteriorating into a chat about milk from a mile off!

[Yudster]

You did get a straight answer - we don't know. So now we are having a chat.

[Vivienne]

I thought it was perfectly sensible.

[Nicola_Red]

I haven't drunk milk for about ten years, does that mean I'm not funny? Or does soya milk count?

[Vivienne]

Soya milk counts!

[ladbroke]

I would imagine Dave didn't offend the deaf, other people would surely have to get offended on their behalf.......

Cos it is full of nutrients and is one of the best (if not the best) natural source of calcium out there.

It also amazes me how many products we can make from one basic ingredient - think of all the cheeses, butter, yougurt etc that you can get from the one thing. And how people discovered that you could get all these things thousands of years ago when they didn't have the tools or knowledge that we do today!

[Andy B]

Yeah, they left a load of milk out in the sun too long and hey Preston!

[foot-loose]

it went off?

[Andy B]

And it turned into cheese and youghurt and butter and stuff, that's all cheese and yoghurt is, gone off milk.

Not too sure what butter is, it's like the bits off the top and you shake them really hard and you get butter I seem to recall from my school days. But to make cheese you get a load of milk, wait for it to start to go off, get the bits off the top, squeeze em and leave em to harden....bob's your auntie's live in lover....cheese.

See I know science me.

[foot-loose]

so how do you make Brie? Or Cheddar? Or Stilton?

I aint saying that it's not easy* - i just find it interesting that people worked out how to do it. Like they wern't even trying to invent it, it's just always been there!


*By 'easy' I mean that you don't need lots of fancy equipment to do it. I've never made cheese and have no idea how to. My aunt has made butter though and she says it's pretty straight forward. She won an award for it and everything!
