Nuts

[Tom44]

I played nuts again, even though it does not work.  I am stubborn.  I will continue to play it until Alan finally changes his mind an allows it. Anyone want to join me in this act of rebellion?

Hi Tom,

I am too timid to take part in acts of rebellion.   

I just try it every time because I can't remember whether it has been allowed or not

[Jacki]

That made me laugh! I'm too worried about buggering up my percentages! In spirit I'm with you!

Go on then, Tom, I'm a bit of a rebel at heart and I totally agree that it's nuts that nuts should not be allowed!  I am rather fond of Brazil nuts actually, but that's another matter entirely! 

Power to the People!!

Plain brazil nuts Linda? or chocolate covered ones!
I'm partial to cashews (salted please) myself!
I'm not much of an anarchist I'm afraid but like Jacki I'll be with you in spirit!

Please add my name to the petition;

While we're at it could we also campaign for the commonisation of dregs, eaves and oats and the rarifying of their far less commonly used singular forms?

Not quite sure what benefit there is in playing the word. All that happens is that Chi says 'Sorry, not known' and reduces your hit-rate.
Your act of rebellion goes quite unrecorded, I think.

And whilst we're revisiting classifications, I'd like to suggest that the status of orate and orated also be revised (from rare to common).

[Jacki]

Completely agree about orate and orated. It's nuts that they're not common!

[Dragonman]

And while we are about it can we add PILES to the list

Plain every time.  It's the same with digestive biscuits - got to be plain.  I'm just a regular old plain Jane I suppose!!

I don't think you're at all plain!  Very good taste - especially in your choice of telly programmes
I enjoy a plain digestive with a scrape of butter & some cheese.  Somehow nicer than crackers  Perhaps it's me that's crackers or nuts - harking back to the original theme of the thread!

[Linda]

I'm with you re digestives, butter and cheese - yum!  I have also been known to make little cheesecake type things with them - Dairylea and raspberry jam on top - double yum!  I find crackers a bit meh!! 

[Hobbit]

You are definitely a lady with exceedingly good taste
Must try your cheesecake idea.  Do you bash them with a rolling pin & add a little bit of butter?  I've got a few little glass ramekins as I occasionally have GU deserts as a treat & always keep the jar!  Bet it would work with lemon curd as well

Translation please.

[Hobbit]

Dairylea is a thick spreadable cheese or cheese triangles.  I expect it's probably unique to the UK though I'm sure you must have an equivalent!
GU puds are very yummy
