TV One Show presenter Alex Jones is hypnotized.

McKenna told her to remove the word One from her vocabulary. When asks what show she presented she said

The Show. The BBC Show.

She accused her long time co-presenter to be a robber who robs post offices.

how much do you actually know about hypnosis, Roscoe?

Why all the f_____g questions Davinho?

I just wondered what your point was here and also wondered what you knew about hypnosis.
Do you just expect to post stuff on a forum without any reaction/response?


....theres another fucking question for you

Well OK then. Next time YOU post anything at all on this forum I'll just ask you what the point was.

So whats the point in you asking me what I know about hypnotism?

like I said I was just wondering what your point was/is unless you are just now randomly posting what you watched on TV the previous day, hey what did you have for your tea yesterday?

Well it's nice to know you were just wondering. Hey I'll hold that thought all day. - NOT

Look just do me favour. If you've nothing to say then just SHUT UP.

well, nothing to say is a bit like posting random TV extracts without any explanation isn't it?

try not to let it get you into a meltdown, Roscoe


I had chops for my tea last night by the way

He does seem to be getting much worse now, day by day, poor fellow. It wont be long...

Hold on: No chance. It WILL be very long, indeed. He's up to that kind of reasoning for about 7 years now.

probably a stupid question Davinho, but what is "chops for tea"?


ok then, "chops with your tea"

lamb chops

yeah, I kind of figured, except I was thinking pork chops, looks good though.
I think I'll have "chops for coffee this morning"!

tea is an old fashioned/working class/northern way of saying dinner
lunch in turn is called dinner

feck knows what the proletariat call breakfast

On this side of the "pond" we proletariat call it breakfast.
so tea is a way of saying dinner eh, I never would have thunk that.

tea normally meant an afternoon break at 4pm(ish) of light snacks and of course tea

Afternoon tea, is a small meal snack typically eaten between 2pm and 5pm. The custom of afternoon tea originated in England in the 1840s.[2] At the time, the various classes in England had a divergence in their eating habits. The upper classes typically ate luncheon at about midday and dinner (if not eschewed in favor of the later supper) at 8:00 pm or later, while the lower classes ate dinner at about 11:00 am and then a light supper at around 7:00 pm.[3] For both groups, afternoon tea filled a gap in the meals. The custom spread throughout the British Empire and beyond in succeeding decades. However, changes in social customs and working hours mean that most 21st Century Britons will rarely take afternoon tea, if at all.[citation needed]

Traditionally, loose tea is brewed in a teapot and served with milk and sugar. The sugar and caffeine of the concoction provided fortification against afternoon doldrums for the working poor of 19th and early 20th century England who had a significantly lower calorie count and more physically demanding occupation than most westerners today. For laborers, the tea was sometimes accompanied by a small sandwich or baked good (such as scones) that had been packed for them in the morning. For the more privileged, afternoon tea was accompanied by luxury ingredient sandwiches (customarily cucumber, egg and cress, fish paste, ham, and smoked salmon), scones (with clotted cream and jam, see cream tea) and usually cakes and pastries (such as Battenberg, fruit cake or Victoria sponge). In hotels and tea shops the food is often served on a tiered stand; there may be no sandwiches, but bread or scones with butter or margarine and optional jam or other spread, or toast, muffins or crumpets.[4][5][6]


Along the line supper got "lost" and became tea to many people.

Wow, one of the most informative threads Roscoe has ever started

Tea time to us in the North East of England is between 5 and 6 at night, thats when we have our tea (aka evening meal) anything after that is supper or before that is dinner ......its a British thing Bill.

When will the British ever learn to use proper english?

the reason English is so widespread is because it is so goddamned adaptable and fluid, long may it remain so

Or, it could have something to do with the old saying, "The sun never sets on The British Empire"

You know we are going to incur the "Wrath of Roscoe" for abusing his thread!

what thread?
he gave no explanation for what he posted so it's fair game as far as I'm concerned

where i'm from we say, "yer tea is oot"...meaning your diner is on the table....and us Scots are certainly nothing to do with the British Empire....they just use us as cannon fodder.

[quote= "yer tea is oot"[/quote]


Yeah, but c'mon, is that really english?

but she's Scottish
